Embodiment
Secondly, with reference to accompanying drawing embodiments of the present invention are elaborated.
<the 1 embodiment 〉
Fig. 1 is the figure of the formation of expression one embodiment of the present invention.Display part 1 is to be made as circular non-rectangular display apparatus.The display device of present embodiment possesses on display base plate 10 and to form, by a plurality of sweep traces 2, a plurality of signal wire 3 be configured in the Active Matrix LCD At portion 1 that the thin film transistor (TFT) 4 as pixel and active component of its intersection point constitutes and 2 scan line drive circuits 8 and 2 signal-line driving circuits 9 that for example constitute by thin film transistor (TFT).
Here, be made as the flat shape of scan line drive circuit 8 and signal-line driving circuit 9 fan-shaped, make it along the periphery of display part 1 and bending, thereby can make the shape of display base plate 10 be similar figures with respect to non-rectangle display part 1, the size of the size of display part 1 and display base plate 10 is approaching, can realize the display device of narrow frame.
The invention provides the formation that on the zone of the non-rectangle as fan-shaped, to lay the driving circuit of active matrix to high-density.
The demonstration of active matrix is the current potential that changes sweep trace 2 successively, make the thin film transistor (TFT) that is connected with sweep trace 2 with gate terminal (with reference to Figure 24 4) become conducting state, in its conduction period signal wire 3 is added the current potential suitable with view data, pixel is charged.
Therefore, scan line drive circuit 8 need have the function of driven sweep line 2 successively.This can use multistage shift register circuit 100 to realize.
As an example, Fig. 4 represents the example that the circuit of the scan line drive circuit that is made of shift register constitutes.With reference to Fig. 4, the transistor 102 that each shift register possesses the transistor 104 that links to each other with node N1 with power supply VH, link to each other with power supply VL with node N1, the transistor 103 that links to each other with output OUT1 with power supply VH, with export the transistor 101 that OUT1 links to each other with clock CLK1.Transistor 101~104th, the P transistor npn npn.
The grid of transistor 101 is connected with node N1, the output of the grid of transistor 102 and prime shift register (is that elementary occasion is commencing signal ST at shift register), the grid of transistor 103 is connected with clock CLK2, and the grid of transistor 104 is connected with the output OUT2 of back level shift register.
CLK1 and CLK2 are the signals with complementary relationship, if shift register is an odd level, then the connection of clock is same as described above.Also have, in the occasion of even level, CLK1 and CLK2 exchange, transistor 101 links to each other with CLK2, and the grid of transistor 104 is connected with CLK1.
Fig. 5 is the timing diagram of action of the shift register of presentation graphs 4.If commencing signal ST becomes low level VL from high level VH, then transistor 102 conductings, the current potential of node N1 is reduced to the degree of VL+Vth (Vth is the threshold voltage of transistor 102).
Like this, though transistor 101 conductings, CLK1 is a high level, so VH output OUT1 becomes high level VH.
Secondly, if CLK1 changes to low level VL from high level VH, CLK2 changes to high level VH from low level VL, and then owing to the bootstrap effect of transistor 101, output OUT1 can become low level VL from high level VH under the state of transistor 101 conductings.At this moment, be high level VH as the CLK2 of the grid of transistor 103, transistor 103 becomes non-conduction.
Secondly, if CLK1 changes to high level VH from low level VL, CLK2 changes to low level VL from high level VH, then transistor 103 conductings, and output OUT1 becomes high level VH.
At this moment, even transistor 101 is keeping conducting state, because CLK1 is high level VH, so also do not flow to the perforation electric current of CLK1 from VH.
Also have, if become low level VL as the output OUT2 of the 2nd grade of shift register of the grid of transistor 104, then transistor 104 conductings, node N1 becomes high level VH, makes transistor 101 become nonconducting state.
Repeat these actions successively, thus from lead-out terminal OUT1, the OUT2 of each shift register, OUT3 ... the pulse of the low level VL that generation and clock CLK1, CLK2 are synchronous.
On these lead-out terminals directly or pass through the function that sweep trace 2 that buffer circuit connects active matrix just can be realized the scan line drive circuit of hope.
,, represented the example of P transistor npn npn here, but, also can constitute same shift register circuit by the N transistor npn npn as transistor.Have, the shift register circuit with said function also can easily constitute with the complementary type of together having used N transistor npn npn and P transistor npn npn again.
More than be the narration of the scan line drive circuit 8 of relevant driven sweep line 2, the signal-line driving circuit 9 that the signal wire 3 of active matrix is applied the signal voltage of hope also has common feature.Here it is, and the signal-line driving circuit 9 that drives the signal wire of active matrix integral body is made of by 1 or the circuit that has identical function by several signal wires 3 a plurality of.
That is, can realize and use a plurality of same circuits pieces to drive the scan line drive circuit 8 and the signal-line driving circuit 9 of active matrix integral body and the circuit block that has is corresponding by sweep trace 2, signal wire 31 or many.
Circuit block inside with identical function adopts same circuits to lay figure more.For example certain scan line drive circuit shown in Figure 4 in the driving circuit is a plurality of shift register circuits 100 that are tied, and a sweep trace is had 1 shift register circuit 100 correspondence.This moment shift register circuit 10, for example shown in Figure 2, the output OUTn of n level shift register links to each other with n level sweep trace.
OUTn-1 and OUTn+1 are respectively the output of n-1 level and n+1 level shift register in Fig. 2, are input in the n level shift register.Also have, power supply VH is a high potential power, and VL is a low potential power source, and clock signal is that CLK1 and CLK2 are the signal of inverse relationship each other.
Fig. 3 represents to finish the example that the circuit of the function of shift register shown in Figure 2 100 is laid.Here, silicon thin film 105 for example is the polycrystal silicon film.
For understanding the lamination structure of thin film transistor (TFT), the A-A ' section of Figure 31 presentation graphs 3.Thin film transistor (TFT) comprise the grid that constitutes by silicon thin film 105 with by the grid layer 106 that the thickness of gate insulating film 111 separates and the local low resistance change in the silicon thin film 105 source electrode, drain electrode.The thin film transistor (TFT) 101 of forming circuit can be identical layer structure with the thin film transistor (TFT) 4 that constitutes pixel.And can be with same device, operation on same display base plate 10, by identical thickness manufacturing.
Make the grid layer 106 of transistorized grid because its electric conductivity also is used as wiring.Conductive layer 108 for example is metals such as aluminium, as wiring.
Obtain by contact element 107 silicon thin films 105 local low resistance change source electrode, drain electrode or grid layer 106 and the electrical connection between the conductive layer 108.
In the occasion of laying by the mode that makes scan line drive circuit 8 become rectangular shape, the shift register 100 at transverse direction repetition Fig. 3 gets final product its parallel duplicating movably.
Here, clock signal clk 1 and CLK2 are that the mode that the shift register 100 by adjacency alternately switches applies.
As a comparative example, Fig. 6 represents to lay by rectangle the example of scan line drive circuit 8.The interval of a plurality of shift registers 100 generally conforms to the interval of sweep trace 2, is certain.
Fig. 7 represents in one embodiment of the present invention, makes scan line drive circuit 8 along the periphery of non-rectangle display part 1 and the figure of an example of crooked laying.
In Fig. 7, the direction vertical with sweep trace 2 is made as directions X, the direction parallel with sweep trace 2 is made as the Y direction.
As shown in Figure 6, in the occasion of laying scan line drive circuit 8 by rectangle, with only directions X repeat 1 grade amount shift register 100 laying and parallel situation of duplicating is movably compared, the feature of example shown in Figure 7 is to repeat with the Y direction and parallelly duplicate movably at directions X.
Have, it is characterized in that the displacement of directions X conforms to the interval of sweep trace 2, but, the displacement of Y direction changes between the 1st grade and the 2nd grade, the 2nd grade and 3rd level.
This have can from bending the effect of nearer each shift register 100 of position configuration of the periphery of non-rectangle display part 1.
Have, the displacement of Y direction can be the multiple of Y direction length that constitutes the pixel of display part 1 again.
That is, as shown in Figure 8, in the present embodiment, the interval dy that display part 1 is pressed signal wire 3 by Y direction length repeats, the matrix that directions X length is pressed the pixel that the interval dx of sweep trace 2 repeats constitutes, so even display part 1 be shaped as non-rectangle, the coordinate of configuration pixel can be a unit with dx, dy also.
Thereby, the not only laying of moving shift register 100 by dx unit, and also move it by dy unit in the Y direction at directions X, thus can keep the distance of the periphery of display part 1 and shift register 100 certain.This has and can import from the effect of the signal of each shift register 100 output to the sweep trace 2 of display part 1 in the identical time.
The wiring of the mutual output connection (OUTn-1, OUTn, OUTn+1) between power lead VH, VL, clock signal wiring CLK1, CLK2 and shift register also is to extend and be connected 100 in each shift register in directions X and Y direction.
In example shown in Figure 7, power lead, clock signal wiring and mutual output connection are only extended at directions X or Y direction, but, also can be connected 100 in each shift register by the extension at tilted direction.
If between each shift register, change at interval, then can change the time delay of clock signal, shift register output.
This is because between each shift register, and the length of signal routing changes, and cloth line resistance and wiring capacity change.
Thereby, according to present embodiment, can realize the driving circuit of the time delay of scalable clock signal, shift register output, also can keep the delay between shift register certain by design.
<the 2 embodiment 〉
Fig. 9 is the figure of the laying of expression the 2nd embodiment of the present invention.In the present embodiment, except the directions X of Fig. 7 and Y direction repeat also make each shift register 100 with arbitrarily angled inclination parallel the moving.
So just can near the periphery of display part, dispose each shift register 100.Also have, power lead VH, VL and clock signal routing CLK1, CLK2, mutual output connection for example are connected 100 in each shift register by the shortest mode sideling.
In the present embodiment, in 100 in each shift register, the interval of directions X equates with the interval of sweep trace 2, be certain, and the pitch of the interval of Y direction and the anglec of rotation changes.
At random determine back 2 points, just can be in the distance of 100 in 100 adjustment shift registers of each shift register, i.e. clock signal routing, the distance of output connection mutually.
So just can regulate the time delay of the output of clock signal clk 1, CLK2 and shift register 100, also can keep the delay of 100 in shift register certain by design.
<the 3 embodiment 〉
Figure 10 is the figure of an example of the laying of expression the 3rd embodiment of the present invention.In the present embodiment, make along the periphery of display part 1 and have at any angle that the interval of each shift register becomes narrower pitch.
That is, the bottom corner of the laying (Fig. 3) of the shift register 100 of rectangle is approaching by the mode in 100 contacts of shift register of adjacency.So just can shorten the length of entire scan line drive circuit 8.
