Then when level shift registor SRn operation, (driving method refers to Fig. 3 step S110, S120 to explanation And S130):
It refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 2A, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 A, Fig. 4 A and perform forward direction for the gate driving circuit 100 according to Fig. 1 The timing diagram during operation of scanning, and using shown in Fig. 2A when level shift registor SRn is illustrated as example.
When gate driving circuit 100 performs forward scan (as shown in Fig. 3 step S120), it is height just to sweep signal U2D Level, the anti-signal D2U that sweeps is low levels;In addition, the first clock signal CK1, the second clock signal CK2, the 3rd clock signal CK3 And the 4th clock signal CK4 sequentially circulate unlatching, the first clock signal CK1 the second clock signal of phase-lead CK2 phase Position, the second clock signal CK2 clock signal CK3 of phase-lead the 3rd phase, the 3rd clock signal CK3 phase-lead the Four clock signal CK4 phase, the 4th clock signal CK4 the first clock signal of phase-lead CK1 phase, wherein in first Among clock signal CK1, the second clock signal CK2, the 3rd clock signal CK3 and the 4th clock signal CK4, two it is adjacent when The overlapping pulses of arteries and veins signal.
In the timing diagram of Fig. 4 A embodiment, output is produced when level shift register output end Gn is in period t3 and t4 Signal.When period t1 is originated, the first two grade of shift register output end Gn-2 is then changed to high level by low level, consequently, it is possible to Fig. 2A's can then receive the first two grade of shift register output end Gn-2 high level letter as level shift registor SRn the 6th switch T6 Number, and make the 6th switch T6 conductings.Meanwhile, according to the high level for just sweeping signal U2D first node ND1 can be made to pass through the 6th switch T6 is charged.Then, when period t3 is originated, first node ND1 has charged to the first level so that first switch T1 is Conducting state.First switch T1 can then receive the first clock signal CK1 and send to as level shift register output end Gn, therefore work as level Shift register output end Gn level will be changed to high level with the first clock signal CK1.That is, when level shift register is defeated Go out to hold Gn to produce the first clock signal CK1 of correspondence when level shift register is exported, (figure is not to drive corresponding transistor Show) and reach the purpose of scanning.When period t5 is originated, the first clock signal CK1 is changed to low level, therefore, when level displacement Temporary output end Gn switches to low level with the first clock signal CK1.Now, the 3rd clock signal CK3 then changes paramount electricity It is flat, and second switch T2 is turned on, also it can will be pulled down to low level as level shift register output end Gn.
In Fig. 4 A embodiment, first node ND1 to being held in high level between period t5, and continues in period t1 Turn on first switch T1.Therefore, as level shift register output end Gn when the output of level shift register is followed in the first clock pulse letter Number CK1 is produced in period t1 to period t5 change.
At the end of period t5, the 4th clock signal CK4 is changed to high level from low level so that the 3rd switch T3 is to lead Logical state, and just sweeping signal U2D also makes the 8th switch T8 be conducting state for high level.Consequently, it is possible to which Voltage stabilizing module 110 is then The first discharge path P1 is formed, first node ND1 is discharged and low level is pulled down to, and then causes first switch T1 to close. That is, the first discharge path P1 is by being all located at the 4th clock signal CK4 of high level and just sweeping signal U2D and the shape that is triggered Into.Now, when level shift register output end Gn by second switch T2 conductings because being maintained low level.
By above-described embodiment, it can be realized that to for level shift registor SRn, first node ND1 is in period t1 To chargeable in high level between t5, and turn on first switch T1 so that when level shift register output end Gn substantially follows first Clock signal CK1 is produced in period t1 to the level change between t5.In other words, the first clock signal CK1 works as to trigger Level shift register output end Gn's works as the output of level shift register.Specifically, the first two grade of shift register output end Gn-2 and The level shift register of working as that one clock signal CK1 works as level shift register output end Gn to trigger is exported.
Similarly, the shift registor of other grades also has corresponding signal intensity relation, also referring to Fig. 2 B, its Illustrate the circuit diagram according to previous stage shift registor SRn-1 in an embodiment.As shown in Figure 2 B, previous stage shift register What device SRn-1 framework was substantially similar to Fig. 2A works as level shift registor SRn, and difference is, previous stage shift registor Clock signal (the first clock signal CK1, the second clock signal CK2, the 3rd clock signal corresponding to SRn-1 each switch CK3 and the 4th clock signal CK4) with when level shift registor SRn it is different, in addition, adjacent front stage shift registor Annexation also have corresponding change, previous stage shift registor SRn-1 is compared to being in when level shift registor SRn differences It is described in detail in the following passage.
In the previous stage shift registor SRn-1 shown in Fig. 2 B, first switch T1 first end receives the 4th clock pulse letter Number CK4, and the second end is coupled to previous stage shift register output end Gn-1.Second switch T2 first end is coupled to previous stage shifting The temporary output end Gn-1 in position, and its control end receives the second clock signal CK2.In addition, Voltage stabilizing module 110 then receives the first clock pulse Signal CK1, the 3rd clock signal CK3 and scanning sequence signal (just sweeping signal U2D and counter sweep signal D2U).In voltage stabilizing mould In block 110, the 3rd switch T3 the second end is electrically coupled to the first two grade of shift register output end Gn-2, and control end then receives the 3rd Clock signal CK3.4th switch T4 the second end is electrically coupled to as level shift register output end Gn, and control end receives first Clock signal CK1.In two directions' inputing module 120, three-level shift register output end before the 6th switch T6 control end is coupled to Gn-3, the 7th switch T7 control end is coupled to previous stage shift register output end Gn-1.In addition, previous stage shift registor The annexations of wherein each switch elements of SRn-1 as shown in Figure 2 B, in Fig. 2A when level shift registor SRn is similar.It is previous Being can refer in detail as flowing mode in preceding embodiment and Fig. 2A for level shift registor SRn-1 works as level shift registor SRn's Complete explanation.
Refer to Fig. 2 B embodiment, first node ND1 is to chargeable in high level between t4, and to turn in period t0 First switch T1 so that previous stage shift register output end Gn-1 substantially follow the 4th clock signal CK4 period t0 to t4 it Between level change and produce.In other words, the 4th clock signal CK4 is to trigger before previous stage shift register output end Gn-1 One-level shift register is exported.Specifically, preceding three-level shift register output end Gn-3 preceding three-level shift register output and the Four clock signal CK4 are exported to trigger previous stage shift register output end Gn-1 previous stage shift register.
The rest may be inferred, and rear stage shift register output end Gn+1 substantially follows the second clock signal CK2 in period t2 to t6 Between level change and produce.Therefore, by above-mentioned Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2A previous stage shift registor SRn-1 being described in detail and When level shift registor SRn can analogize the detailed connected mode for obtaining other per one-levels, therefore do not repeat separately herein.
Further, since it is that high level, the anti-signal D2U that sweeps are low level just to sweep signal U2D, therefore, in Voltage stabilizing module 110 In, the first discharge path P1 as formed by the 3rd switch T3 and the 8th switch T8 series connection will be turned on periodically, and the 9th Second discharge path P2 formed by the switch T4 series connection of switch T9 and the 4th will be closed.In other words, in gate driving circuit 100 When performing forward scan, first node ND1 level change need not consider the influence that the second discharge path P2 is caused.
Further, it is ready for subsequently sweeping when level shift register is exported when level shift registor SRn completes to send out When retouching, when level shift registor SRn first node ND1 level will be shifted according to the 4th clock signal CK4 and previous stage Keep in output end Gn-1 level and periodically change.In the present embodiment, please refer to Fig. 2A and Fig. 4 A, pass through first Switch T1 and produce the first clock signal CK1 as level shift registor output end Gn.However, the first clock signal CK1 is The signal switched with periodic low and high level, therefore for the defeated of other shift registors at different levels for receiving the first clock signals Interference can be formed by going out end and first node ND1.In detail, by taking Fig. 4 A as an example, the first clock signal CK1 is height in period t3~t4 Level, except correspondence n-th grade shift registor it is exportable work as level shift registor output end Gn in addition to, the first clock signal CK1 Also the shift registor of other grades is input into simultaneously, and then the shift registor of other grades is interfered.In the present embodiment When just sweeping pattern, then the startup of mu balanced circuit 110 is controlled by the 3rd clock signal CK3, and the 3rd clock signal CK3 is neck Prior to the first clock signal CK1, and then it is used as effect of voltage stabilizing in advance, reduction interference.
Similarly, when the present embodiment counter sweeps pattern, then mu balanced circuit 110 is controlled by the second clock signal CK2 Startup, and the second clock signal CK2 is leads over the first clock signal CK1, so as voltage stabilizing in advance, reduce the work(that disturbs Effect.
Again please with reference to Fig. 4 B, Fig. 4 B perform the operation of reverse scan for the gate driving circuit 100 according to Fig. 1 When timing diagram, and using shown in Fig. 2A when level shift registor SRn is illustrated as example.
When gate driving circuit 100 performs reverse scan (as shown in Fig. 3 step S130), it is low just to sweep signal U2D Level, the anti-signal D2U that sweeps is high level;In addition, the 4th clock signal CK4, the 3rd clock signal CK3, the second clock signal CK2 And first clock signal CK1 sequentially circulate unlatching, the 4th clock signal CK4 clock signal CK3 of phase-lead the 3rd phase Position, the 3rd clock signal CK3 the second clock signal of phase-lead CK2 phase, the second clock signal CK2 phase-lead the One clock signal CK1 phase, the first clock signal CK1 clock signal CK4 of phase-lead the 4th phase, wherein in the 4th Among clock signal CK4, the 3rd clock signal CK3, the second clock signal CK2 and the first clock signal CK1 two it is adjacent when The overlapping pulses of arteries and veins signal.
In the timing diagram of Fig. 4 B embodiment, produced when level shift register output end Gn is in period t3' and t4' defeated Go out signal.When period t1' is originated, rear two grades of shift register output ends Gn+2 is then changed to high level, such one by low level Come, Fig. 2A two grades of shift register output end Gn+2 height electricity after level shift registor SRn the 7th switch T7 can then be received Ordinary mail number, and make the 7th switch T7 conductings.Meanwhile, first node ND1 is opened by the 7th according to the anti-high level for sweeping signal D2U T7 is closed to be charged.Then, when period t3' is originated, first node ND1 has charged to the first level so that first switch T1 is conducting state.First switch T1 can then receive the first clock signal CK1 and send to as level shift register output end Gn, therefore When level shift register output end Gn level will be changed to high level with the first clock signal CK1.That is, when level displacement is temporary Output end Gn is deposited to produce the first clock signal CK1 of correspondence when level shift register is exported, to drive corresponding transistor (figure Do not show) and reach the purpose of scanning.When period t5' is originated, the first clock signal CK1 is changed to low level, therefore, when level is moved The temporary output end Gn in position switches to low level with the first clock signal CK1.Now, the 3rd clock signal CK3 then changes paramount Level, and second switch T2 is turned on, also it can will be pulled down to low level as level shift register output end Gn.
In Fig. 4 B embodiment, first node ND1 to being held in high level between period t5', and is held in period t1' Continuous conducting first switch T1.Therefore, as level shift register output end Gn when the output of level shift register is followed in the first clock pulse Signal CK1 is produced in period t1' to period t5' change.
At the end of period t5', the second clock signal CK2 is changed to high level from low level so that the 4th, which switchs T4, is Conducting state, and it is counter sweep signal D2U also for high level make the 9th switch T9 be conducting state.Consequently, it is possible to Voltage stabilizing module 110 The second discharge path P2 is then formed, first node ND1 is discharged and low level is pulled down to, and then causes first switch T1 to close Close.That is, the second discharge path P2 is by being all located at the second clock signal CK2 of high level and counter sweeping signal D2U and touched Hair is formed.Now, when level shift register output end Gn by second switch T2 conductings because being maintained low level.
By above-described embodiment, it can be realized that to for level shift registor SRn, first node ND1 is in period t1' To between t5' turn on first switch T1, therefore, when level shift register output end Gn substantially follow the first clock signal CK1 when Section t1' is produced to the level change between t5'.
Similarly, the shift registor of other grades also has corresponding signal intensity relation;In addition, in raster data model electricity When road 100 performs reverse scan, the second clock signal CK2 is similarly can be derived to trigger rear stage shift register output end Gn + 1 rear stage shift register output, rear two grades of shift register output ends Gn+2 rear two grades of shift registers output and this first Clock signal CK1 deserves level shift register output Gn+2 to trigger.
Further, since it is that low level, the anti-signal D2U that sweeps are high level just to sweep signal U2D, therefore, in Voltage stabilizing module 110 In, the first discharge path P1 will be closed, and the second discharge path P2 will be turned on periodically.In other words, in raster data model When circuit 100 performs reverse scan, first node ND1 level change need not consider the influence that the first discharge path P1 is caused.
Further, after completing to send out and exporting when level shift register and carry out follow up scan as level shift registor SRn, When level shift registor SRn first node ND1 level will be defeated according to the second clock signal CK2 and rear stage shift register Go out to hold Gn+1 level and periodically change.In the present embodiment when just sweeping pattern, then controlled by the 3rd clock signal CK3 The startup of mu balanced circuit 110 processed, and the 3rd clock signal CK3 is leads over the 4th clock signal CK4, and then as steady in advance Pressure, the effect for reducing interference.Similarly, when the present embodiment counter sweeps pattern, then controlled by the first clock signal CK1 steady The startup of volt circuit 110, and the first clock signal CK1 is leads over the 4th clock signal CK4, and then be used as voltage stabilizing in advance, subtract The effect disturbed less.

Further, collocation the first system voltage Vss and reset signal RST the 5th switch T5 is to provide when first When arteries and veins signal CK1 just starts to produce, first node ND1 level is driven in low level.In detail, due to when the first clock signal When CK1 just starts to produce, the 4th clock signal CK4 is not yet produced, therefore first node ND1 is not yet discharged, and will be to follow-up Scanning interfere;Accordingly, it would be desirable to pass through the 5th switch T5 and reset signal RST collocation so that first node ND1 can quilt Electric discharge.Consequently, it is possible to which first node ND1 level can be maintained at low level, and avoid interfering follow-up scanning, use Reach effect of voltage stabilizing in advance.
Similarly, collocation the first system voltage Vss and reset signal RST the 12nd switch T12 is to provide when first When clock signal CK1 just starts to produce, drive when level shift register output end Gn is when the level of level shift register output is in low Level.In detail, in order to ensure when level shift register output end Gn is not by noise jamming, therefore the 12nd switch can be passed through T12 and reset signal RST collocation, when level shift registor SRn' starts forward scan, even if proper level shift register The output end Gn level for working as the output of level shift register is maintained at low level, to avoid working as level as level shift register output end Gn There is noise in the level of shift register output, and disturb follow-up scanning.
In other words, collocation the first system voltage Vss and reset signal RST the 5th switch T5 and the 12nd switch T12 are used First to remove first node ND1 and making an uproar as level shift register output end Gn when level shift registor SRn' starts scanning Sound, to ensure that follow up scan is interference-free.
