具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本公开实施例的附图,对本公开实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例是本公开的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本公开的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非另外定义,本公开使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本公开所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。同样,“一个”、“一”或者“该”等类似词语也不表示数量限制,而是表示存在至少一个。“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指 出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同,而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
在显示领域,特别是有机发光二极管OLED显示技术中,栅极驱动电路通常都集成在集成电路IC中。集成电路IC设计中芯片的面积是影响芯片成本的主要因素。通常,栅极驱动电路包括检测电路、显示电路和输出两者复合脉冲的连接电路(或门电路)。此类电路结构非常复杂,难以满足高分辨率窄边框的要求。
在对OLED显示面板中的子像素单元进行补偿时,除了在子像素单元中设置像素补偿电路进行内部补偿外,还可以通过设置感测晶体管进行外部补偿。在进行外部补偿时,由移位寄存器单元构成的栅极驱动电路需要向显示面板中的子像素单元分别提供用于扫描晶体管和感测晶体管的驱动信号。例如,在一帧的显示时段(Display)提供用于扫描晶体管的扫描驱动信号,在一帧的消隐时段(Blank)提供用于感测晶体管的感测驱动信号。
在本公开的实施例中,“一帧”、“每帧”或“某一帧”包括依次进行的显示时段和消隐时段。例如,在显示时段中,栅极驱动电路输出显示输出信号,该显示输出信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的扫描晶体管,以进行从第一行到最后一行的扫描。在消隐时段中,栅极驱动电路输出消隐输出信号,该消隐输出信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的某一行子像素单元中的感测晶体管,以完成该行子像素单元的外部补偿。
在高频率驱动栅极驱动电路时,由于数据写入时间很短,所以可对栅极线预充电以使多个输出波形之间存在交叠,从而提高数据写入时间。然而,在高电平写入阶段,栅极驱动电路中的各移位寄存器单元的输出端容易产生耦合噪声。
本公开的实施例提供了移位寄存器单元及其驱动方法、栅极驱动电路及其驱动方法、以及显示装置。下面结合附图对本公开的实施例及其示例进 行详细说明。

充电子电路110可在第二时钟信号的控制下,将消隐输入信号提供到上拉控制节点H,以控制上拉控制节点H的电压。例如,充电子电路110可与第二时钟信号端CLKB耦接以接收第二时钟信号,以及与消隐输入信号端STU1耦接以接收消隐输入信号。
存储子电路120可存储充电子电路提供的消隐输入信号。例如,存储子 电路120可与上拉控制节点H耦接,以及与第一电压端VGL1耦接(未示出)以接收第一电压。在实施例中,在一帧的显示时段中,存储子电路120可将上拉控制节点H充电至高电位。从而使得上拉控制节点H的高电平一直保持至该帧的消隐时段。
在本公开的实施例中,第一电压端VGL1可提供直流低电平信号,即第一电压为低电平。
隔离子电路130可在上拉控制节点H的电压和第一时钟信号的控制下,将消隐上拉信号提供到上拉节点Q,以控制上拉节点Q的电压。例如,隔离子电路130可与第一时钟信号端CLKA耦接以接收第一时钟信号,与第三时钟信号端CLKC耦接以接收第三时钟信号并作为消隐上拉信号。
由于隔离子电路130设置在上拉节点Q和上拉控制节点H之间,所以可以防止上拉节点Q与上拉控制节点H相互影响。在实施例中,例如在消隐时段,隔离子电路130可在第一时钟信号的控制下,断开上拉节点Q与第三时钟信号端CLKC之间的连接。在此期间,高电平的消隐上拉信号不影响上拉节点Q的电压。
如图1所示,显示输入电路200可在显示输入信号的控制下将显示上拉信号提供到上拉节点Q。例如,显示输入电路200可与显示输入信号端STU2耦接以接收显示输入信号,以及与第二电压端VDD耦接以接收第二电压并作为显示上拉信号。
在本公开的实施例中,第二电压端VDD可提供直流高电平信号,即第二电压为高电平。

在实施例中,输出信号可以包括显示输出信号和消隐输出信号,在一帧的显示时段中,输出电路300可在上拉节点Q的电压的控制下将显示输出信号输出至移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT。从移位信号输出端CR输出的显示输出信号可以用于上下级移位寄存器单元的扫描移位。 从像素信号输出端OUT输出的显示输出信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的子像素单元进行扫描显示。在一帧的消隐时段中,输出电路300可在上拉节点Q的电压的控制下将消隐输出信号输出至移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT。从移位信号输出端CR输出的消隐输出信号可以用于下一级移位寄存器单元的消隐输入信号(将在下文中详细描述)。从像素信号输出端OUT输出的消隐输出信号可以用于控制显示面板中的子像素单元中的晶体管。
此外,第一控制电路400可在显示输入信号的控制下,将移位信号输出端CR耦接到像素信号输出端OUT。例如,第一控制电路400可与显示输入信号端STU2耦接以接收显示输入信号。在实施例中,第一控制电路400在显示输入信号的控制下使移位信号输出端CR与像素信号输出端OUT耦接,由此可通过像素信号输出端OUT侧的负载电容和负载电阻(未示出)对移位信号输出端CR进行稳压。负载电容可以是单独设置的电容,也可以是与像素信号输出端OUT耦接的线路上的寄生电容。负载电阻可以是单独设置的电阻,也可以是与像素信号输出端OUT耦接的线路上的寄生电阻。在显示阶段对上拉节点Q写入高电压时,移位信号输出端CR耦接到与像素信号输出端OUT耦接的负载电容和负载电阻,由此利用负载电容和负载电阻的滤波作用减少移位信号输出端CR处的信号的噪声。以此方式,可以有效地降低高压写入过程中移位信号输出端CR的噪声。

在另一个示例中,第一下拉控制电路600还可以和第五电压端VDD_B耦接以接收第五电压(例如为高电平)。例如,第四电压端VDD_A和第五电压端VDD_B可以被配置为交替提供高电平,即第四电压端VDD_A提供高电平时,第五电压端VDD_B提供低电平,而第四电压端VDD_A提供低电平时,第五电压端VDD_B提供高电平。在实施例中,当上拉节点Q的电压处于低电平时,第一下拉控制电路600可以利用第四电压或第五电压对下拉节点QB进行充电,以将下拉节点QB上拉至高电平。

此外,第二下拉控制电路700还可在显示下拉控制信号的控制下,对下拉节点QB的电压进行控制。例如,第二下拉控制电路700可与显示输入信号端STU2连接以接收显示输入信号并作为显示下拉控制信号,以及与第一电压端VGL1耦接以接收第一电压。在实施例中,在一帧的显示时段中,在将显示输入信号提供至显示输入电路200对上拉节点Q充电的同时,将该显示输入信号也提供至第二下拉控制电路700,从而可以通过第一电压端VGL1将下拉节点QB下拉至低电平。采用这种方式可以使得在显示时段中,降低下拉节点QB对上拉节点Q的影响,使得显示输入电路200对上拉节点Q的充电更充分。需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,第二下拉控制电路700还可以与其它信号端耦接以接收显示下拉控制信号,本公开对此不作限定。
另一方面,复位电路800可在消隐复位信号的控制下对上拉节点Q进行复位。例如,复位电路800可与第二时钟信号端CLKB耦接以接收第二时钟信号并作为消隐复位信号,以及与第一电压端VGL1耦接以接收第一电压。需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,复位电路800还可以与其它信号端耦接以接收消隐复位信号,本公开对此不作限定。

第n+3级移位寄存器单元的移位信号输出端向第n级移位寄存器单元提供显示复位信号。例如,除了最后三级移位寄存器单元外,第n级移位寄存器单元的显示复位信号端STD和第n+3级移位寄存器单元的移位信号输出端CR耦接。n为大于0的整数。如图所示,第1级移位寄存器单元A1的显示复位信号端STD耦接第4级移位寄存器单元A4的移位信号输出端CR。在一些实施例中,最后三级移位寄存器单元的显示复位信号端STD可耦接虚设(dummy)移位寄存器单元的移位信号输出端,或者显示复位信号线STD(未示出)或分别连接其它适当的信号线。
可以理解,图8仅是示意性地示出各移位寄存器单元之间的连接关系,而非对其进行限定,还可存在其它未示出的适当连接。
以下结合图9详细描述图8所示的栅极驱动电路30的工作过程。
图9示出了图8所示的栅极驱动电路30的工作过程中各信号的时序图。 在图9中,Q<1>和Q<2>分别表示栅极驱动电路30中第一级移位寄存器单元A1和第二级移位寄存器单元A2中的上拉节点Q的电压。OUT<1>、OUT<2>、OUT<3>和OUT<4>分别表示栅极驱动电路30中的第一级移位寄存器单元A1、第二级移位寄存器单元A2、第三级移位寄存器单元A3以及第四级移位寄存器单元A4中相应的像素信号输出端OUT。1F、2F、3F和4F分别表示第一帧、第二帧、第三帧以及第四帧。Display表示一帧中的显示时段,Blank表示一帧中的消隐时段。需要说明的是,由于每一级移位寄存器单元中的移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT的电压相同,所以在图9中未示出移位信号输出端CR。
可理解的是,图9所示的信号时序图中的信号电压只是示意性的,不代表真实电压值。此外,在示例中,第一电压VGL1是低电平,第二电压VDD是高电平,第三电压VGL2是低电平。
下面结合图9中的信号时序图,对图8中所示的栅极驱动电路30的工作过程进行说明。例如,图8中所示的栅极驱动电路30中的移位寄存器单元可以采用图5和图6中所示的移位寄存器单元。
在第一帧1F开始前,第五子时钟信号线CLK_5和第六子时钟信号线CLK_6均提供高电平。由于各级移位寄存器单元中的第二时钟信号端CLKB和第三时钟信号端CLKC交替与第五子时钟信号线CLK_5和第六子时钟信号线CLK_6连接,所以每一级移位寄存器单元中的第三晶体管M3和第十七晶体管M17均导通。此时,消隐输入信号端STU提供低电平。由此,可以对每一级移位寄存器单元中的上拉控制节点H和上拉节点Q进行复位,以实现全局复位。此时,上拉控制节点H和上拉节点Q的电压均为低电平。
然后,第一帧1F开始,第六子时钟信号线CLK_6提供的信号变为低电平,第五子时钟信号线CLK_5提供的信号继续保持高电平。
由于第五电压端VDD_B提供高电平,第十三晶体管M13导通,使得下拉节点QB被充电至高电平。下拉节点QB的高电平使得第九晶体管M9导通,从而将上拉节点Q下拉至低电平。
在第一帧1F的显示时段Display中,对第一级的移位寄存器单元A1的工作过程描述如下。
在第一阶段1中,第一级移位寄存器单元A1的消隐输入信号端STU1和显示输入信号端STU2均与输入信号线STU连接,因此消隐输入信号端STU1和显示输入信号端STU2均输入高电平。第六晶体管M6导通,第二电压端VDD的高电平信号可以通过第六晶体管M6对上拉节点Q<1>进行充电,使得上拉节点Q被上拉至高电平并被第二电容C2存储。开始时,由于第五子时钟信号线CLK_5输入高电平,与其连接的第二时钟信号端CLKB也为高电平,所以第三晶体管M3导通,上拉控制节点H<1>被充电至高电平并被第一电容C1存储。第十六晶体管M16由于显示输入信号端STU2的高电平而导通,从而可以对下拉节点QB进行辅助下拉。
然后,第五子时钟信号线CLK_5提供低电平,使得第二时钟信号端CLKB为低电平,第三晶体管M3关断。如上描述的,上拉节点Q<1>的电压为高电平,使得第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8导通。由于第一子时钟信号线CLK_1提供低电平信号,因此与其连接的第四时钟信号端CLKD为低电平信号。由此,移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT均输出低电平信号。
在上拉节点Q<1>被写入高电平的瞬间,可通过第十四晶体管M14将下拉节点QB拉低为低电平,由此使得第十晶体管M10和第十一晶体管M11断开。此时,显示输入信号端STU2保持提供高电平,第一晶体管M1导通。将移位信号输出端CR耦接到像素信号输出端OUT。通过与像素信号输出端OUT耦接的负载电容C L和负载电阻R L对移位信号输出端CR处的电压进行降噪处理。由此,可使移位信号输出端CR的电压稳定,有效降低移位信号输出端CR的噪声。
在第二阶段2中,通过第一子时钟信号线CLK_1向第四时钟信号端CLKD提供高电平信号,使得上拉节点Q<1>的电压由于自举效应而进一步被拉高。第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8保持导通,从而移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT均输出高电平信号。例如,从移位信号输出 端CR输出的高电平信号可以用于上下级移位寄存器单元的扫描移位,而从像素信号输出端OUT输出的高电平信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的子像素单元进行显示。
在第三阶段3中,通过第一子时钟信号线CLK_1向第四时钟信号端CLKD提供低电平信号,使得移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT均可以通过第四时钟信号端CLKD放电,从而完成移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT的复位。由于移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT被复位至低电平,通过晶体管之间的耦合作用,上拉节点Q<1>的电压会下降一个幅度。此外,由于第一级移位寄存器单元A1的显示复位信号端STD和第四级移位寄存器单元的移位信号输出端CR连接,此时第四级移位寄存器单元的移位信号输出端CR还未输出高电平信号,所以不会对上拉节点Q<1>进行下拉,使得上拉节点Q<1>可以保持在一个较高的电平。
在第四阶段4中,第四级移位寄存器单元A4的移位信号输出端CR输出高电平,使得第一级移位寄存器单元A1的显示复位信号端STD也为高电平信号,第十八晶体管M18导通,上拉节点Q<1>被下拉至低电平,完成对上拉节点Q<1>的复位。
通过上述过程,第一级的上拉节点Q的电压变化呈现“塔状”。当移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT处于高电平时,上拉节点Q的电压由于自举效应而升高。由此,移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT在分别通过第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8放电时,流过晶体管的电流可以更大,放电速度更快。此外,由于移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT处积累的电荷可以分别通过第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8进行放电,因此第八晶体管M8和第七晶体管M7可以采用尺寸较小的晶体管,以减小移位寄存器单元占用的版图面积。
在上述第一帧的显示时段中,由于第一时钟信号端CLKA(与第七子时钟信号线CLK_7连接)一直保持低电平,所以第五晶体管M5保持关断。第五晶体管M5可以隔离上拉控制节点H处预存的高电平对显示时段的上 拉节点Q的影响。
第一级移位寄存器单元驱动显示面板中第一行的子像素完成显示后,依次类推,第二级、第三级等移位寄存器单元逐行驱动显示面板中的子像素单元完成一帧的显示驱动。至此,第一帧的显示时段结束。
此外,显示复位信号线STD可以在每帧的显示时段Display向最后三级移位寄存器单元的显示服务信号端提供显示复位信号,以使得相应的第十八晶体管M18导通,从而拉低上拉节点Q。
在第一帧1F的消隐时段Blank中,对第一级移位寄存器单元A1的工作过程描述如下。
在第五阶段5中,上拉控制节点H由于第一电容C1的存储而保持显示时段的高电平。此时,第一时钟信号端CLKA(与第七子时钟信号线CLK_7连接)和第三时钟信号端CLKC(与第六子时钟信号线CLK_6连接)输入高电平信号,第四晶体管M4和第五晶体管M5导通。因此,第三时钟信号端CLKC的高电平可以对上拉节点Q<1>进行充电,将上拉节点Q<1>上拉至高电平。第十四晶体管M14在上拉节点Q<1>的控制下导通,使得下拉节点QB被下拉至低电平。第十五晶体管M15在第一时钟信号端CLKA的控制下也导通,可以进一步对下拉节点QB进行下拉。
在实施例中,在由于第一时钟信号端CLKA提供高电平,第二晶体管M2导通。由此,第二晶体管M2可将移位信号输出端CR耦接到像素信号输出端OUT,从而可通过与像素信号输出端OUT耦接的负载电容C L和负载电阻R L对移位信号输出端CR处的信号进行降噪处理。由此,可使移位信号输出端CR的电压稳定,有效降低移位信号输出端CR的噪声。
在第六阶段6中,第一时钟信号端CLKA输入低电平信号,第五晶体管M5关断。第四时钟信号端CLKD(与第一子时钟信号线CLK_1连接)输入高电平信号,上拉节点Q<1>的电压由于自举效应而进一步被拉高,第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8导通,第四时钟信号端CLKD输入的高电平信号可以输出至移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT。
此外,由于第二级移位寄存器单元A2的第二时钟信号端CLKB与第六 子时钟信号线CLK_6连接,第二级移位寄存器单元A2的消隐输入信号端STU1与第一级移位寄存器单元A1的移位信号输出端CR连接,所以第二级移位寄存器单元A2中的第三晶体管M3导通,从而使得第二级移位寄存器单元A2中的上拉控制节点H<2>被上拉至高电平。
在第二级移位寄存器单元中的上拉控制节点H<2>被充分写入高电平后,在第七阶段7中,第六子时钟信号线CLK_6输入低电平信号。同时第一级移位寄存器单元A1的第四时钟信号端CLKD(与第一子时钟信号线CLK_1连接)持续输入高电平,所以移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT保持输出高电平信号。在此过程中,第一时钟信号端CLKA(与第七子时钟信号线CLK_7连接)处于低电平,第五晶体管M5保持关断状态,所以可以避免上拉节点Q<1>通过第五晶体管M5漏电。
在第八阶段8中,第五子时钟信号线CLK_5输入高电平信号,由于奇数级的移位寄存器单元的第二时钟信号端CLKB均和第五子时钟信号线CLK_5连接,所以可以完成对所有奇数级移位寄存器单元中的上拉控制节点H和上拉节点Q的复位。
如图9所示,在第二帧2F的显示时段Display中,栅极驱动电路30重复和第一帧的显示时段相同的操作,这里不再赘述。
在第二帧2F的消隐时段Blank中,对于第二级移位寄存器单元A2,第三时钟信号端CLKC与第五子时钟信号线CLK_5连接。在消隐时段开始时,第二级移位寄存器单元A2的第一时钟信号端CLKA和第三时钟信号端CLKC均输入高电平信号,第四晶体管M4和第五晶体管M5导通。第三时钟信号端CLKC输入的高电平可以对上拉节点Q<2>进行充电,将上拉节点Q<2>上拉至高电平。然后在第二子时钟信号线CLK_2输入高电平信号时,移位信号输出端CR和像素信号输出端OUT输出高电平信号,同时对第三级移位寄存器单元中的上拉控制节点H<3>进行充电。在第二帧消隐时段的最后阶段,第六子时钟信号线CLK_6输入高电平信号。由于偶数级的移位寄存器单元的第二时钟信号端CLKB均和第六子时钟信号线CLK_6连接,所以可以完成对所有偶数级移位寄存器单元中的上拉控制节 点H和上拉节点Q的复位。
然后,在第三帧、第四帧、第五帧等更多阶段中对栅极驱动电路的驱动可以参考上述描述,这里不再赘述。
如上所述,在每一帧的消隐时段,栅极驱动电路输出的消隐输出信号可用于驱动显示面板中子像素单元中的感测晶体管。如图所示,该驱动信号是逐行顺序提供的。例如,在第一帧的消隐时段,栅极驱动电路输出用于显示面板第一行子像素单元的驱动信号。在第二帧的消隐时段,栅极驱动电路输出用于显示面板第二行子像素单元的驱动信号,依次类推,完成逐行顺序补偿。

在步骤920,显示输入电路200可响应于显示输入信号将显示上拉信号提供到上拉节点Q。在显示输入信号的控制下,第一控制电路400可将移位信号输出端CR耦接到像素信号输出端OUT。由此,可通过与像素信号输出端OUT耦接的负载电容C L和负载电阻R L对移位信号输出端CR的电压进行降噪处理,从而使移位信号输出端CR的电压稳定,有效降低移位 信号输出端CR的噪声。
在步骤930,输出电路300可在上拉节点Q的电压的控制下输出显示输出信号。例如,显示输出信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的子像素单元进行显示。
在实施例中,步骤920和步骤930可在一帧的显示时段期间进行。
在步骤940,消隐输入电路100可在上拉控制节点H的电压和第一时钟信号的控制下将消隐上拉信号提供到上拉节点Q。
在实施例中,第二控制电路420可在第一时钟信号的控制下,将移位信号输出端CR耦接到像素信号输出端OUT。由此,可通过与像素信号输出端OUT耦接的负载电容C L和负载电阻R L对移位信号输出端CR处的电压进行降噪处理,从而使移位信号输出端CR的电压稳定,有效降低移位信号输出端CR的噪声。
在步骤950,输出电路300可在上拉节点Q的电压的控制下输出消隐输出信号。例如,消隐输出信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的子像素单元进行外部补偿。
在实施例中,步骤910可在一帧的消隐时段期间进行,步骤940和步骤950可在下一帧的消隐时段期间进行。此外,在其它实施例中,例如对于栅极驱动电路中的第一级移位寄存器单元,步骤910可在一帧的显示时段期间进行,940和950可在同一帧的消隐时段期间进行。
