a control electrode of the eleventh switching transistor M11 is connected to the Output control signal terminal EN1, a first electrode of the eleventh switching transistor M11 is connected to the first reference signal terminal V1, and a second electrode of the eleventh switching transistor M11 is connected to the driving signal Output terminal Output.
In a specific implementation, in the shift register provided in the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 2b and fig. 3b, the tenth switching transistor M10 may be an N-type transistor, and the eleventh switching transistor M11 may be a P-type transistor.
In a specific implementation, in the shift register provided in the embodiment of the present invention, when the tenth switching transistor is in a conducting state under the control of the signal at the touch control signal terminal, the signal at the second reference signal terminal may be provided to the first node. The eleventh switching transistor may supply the signal of the first reference signal terminal to the signal output terminal when it is in a turned-on state under the control of the signal of the output control signal terminal.
In a specific implementation, the shift register is generally applied to a display panel to input a scan signal to a gate line in the display panel, so that the display panel realizes a display function. Currently, the display panel generally has a touch function, and in order to avoid mutual interference between touch and display, the display and touch functions of the display panel are generally implemented by a touch and display time-sharing driving method. In the shift register provided in the embodiment of the present invention, a signal at the touch control signal end generally controls the tenth switching transistor to be turned off in the display stage, so that a normal scan signal is not affected, and display scanning is implemented. In the touch stage, the signal of the touch control signal terminal generally controls the tenth switching transistor to be turned on, so that the signal of the second node is a high-potential signal to control the transmission gate to be turned off, and the fifth switching transistor to be turned on, and the output control signal terminal also controls the fourth switching transistor to be turned on at this time, so that the driving signal output terminal can output a low-potential signal to stop display scanning for touch control.
In practical implementation, the signal of the output control signal terminal is generally a high-level signal. Only in a special case, the external control IC (Integrated Circuit) controls the signal of the output control signal terminal to become a low-level signal, so as to control the eleventh switching transistor to be turned on and provide the signal of the first reference signal terminal to the driving signal output terminal. The special case may be that the display panel is turned off when the power is off, or the display panel is powered off, which is that charges may remain in the pixels when the display screen is displayed, so that in order to avoid the charges remaining in the pixels from adversely affecting the display panel, the signals at the driving signal output end are changed into high-potential signals to control the charges remaining in the pixels to discharge.
Further, in the shift register according to the embodiment of the present invention, in a specific implementation, the N-type switching transistor is turned on by a high-potential signal and turned off by a low-potential signal; the P-type switching transistor is turned off under the action of a high potential signal and turned on under the action of a low potential signal.
It should be noted that the switching Transistor mentioned in the above embodiments of the present invention may be a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) or a Metal Oxide semiconductor field effect Transistor (MOS), and is not limited herein. In a specific implementation, the control electrode of each switching transistor is used as the gate electrode, and the first electrode can be used as the source electrode and the second electrode can be used as the drain electrode according to the type of the transistor and the difference of the input signal; or the first pole is used as the drain and the second pole is used as the source, which is not specifically distinguished here.
The following takes the structure of the shift register shown in fig. 2b as an example, and the operation process of the shift register provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the circuit timing diagram. In the following description, a high potential signal is denoted by 1, and a low potential signal is denoted by 0, where 1 and 0 represent logic potentials thereof, which are provided only for better explaining the operation of the shift register provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and are not potentials applied to the gates of the switching transistors in practical implementation. In the normal display input/output timing diagram of the shift register shown in fig. 2b, as shown in fig. 4, six stages T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 in fig. 4 are mainly selected. Moreover, the signal of the output control signal terminal EN1 is a high-level signal, and the signal of the touch control signal terminal is a low-level signal. The signal at the first reference signal terminal V1 is a high signal, and the signal at the second reference signal terminal V2 is a low signal.
In stage T1, Input is 1, CK is 0, and Reset is 0. Since Input is 1, the first nor gate NY1 outputs a low signal to control the second switching transistor M2 to be turned on and the third switching transistor M3 to be turned off. Since Reset is 0, the seventh switching transistor M7 is turned off and the first switching transistor M1 is turned on. The turned-on first and second switching transistors M1 and M2 provide the high signal of the first reference signal terminal V1 to the first node N1, so that the first node N1 is a high signal, and the signal of the second node N2 is a low signal due to the second inverter D2, thereby controlling the transmission gate TG to be turned on and the eighth switching transistor M8 to be turned off. The conducting transmission gate TG provides a low-potential signal of the clock signal terminal CK to the driving signal Output terminal Output, so that the driving signal Output terminal Output outputs a low-potential scanning signal.
In stage T2, Input is 0, CK is 0, and Reset is 0. Since Reset is 0, the seventh switching transistor M7 is turned off and the first switching transistor M1 is turned on. Therefore, the first node N1 is kept at the high signal, and the signal at the second node N2 is made to be the low signal, so that the transmission gate TG is controlled to be turned on, and the eighth switching transistor M8 is controlled to be turned off. The conducting transmission gate TG provides a low-potential signal of the clock signal terminal CK to the driving signal Output terminal Output, so that the driving signal Output terminal Output outputs a low-potential scanning signal.
In stage T3, Input is 0, CK is 1, and Reset is 0. Since Reset is 0, the seventh switching transistor M7 is turned off. Therefore, the first node N1 is kept at the high signal, and the signal at the second node N2 is made to be the low signal, so that the transmission gate TG is controlled to be turned on, and the eighth switching transistor M8 is controlled to be turned off. The conducting transmission gate TG provides a high-level signal of the clock signal terminal CK to the driving signal Output terminal Output, so that the driving signal Output terminal Output outputs a high-level scanning signal.
In stage T4, Input is 0, CK is 0, and Reset is 0. Since Reset is 0, the seventh switching transistor M7 is turned off. Therefore, the first node N1 is kept at the high signal, and the signal at the second node N2 is made to be the low signal, so that the transmission gate TG is controlled to be turned on, and the eighth switching transistor M8 is controlled to be turned off. The conducting transmission gate TG provides a low-potential signal of the clock signal terminal CK to the driving signal Output terminal Output, so that the driving signal Output terminal Output outputs a low-potential scanning signal.
In stage T5, Input is 0, CK is 0, and Reset is 1. Since Reset is 1, the seventh switching transistor M7 is turned on, and the first switching transistor M1 is turned off. The turned-on seventh switching transistor M7 provides a low-level signal of the Input signal terminal Input to the first node N1, so that the signal of the first node N1 is a potential signal, and the first nor gate NY1 outputs a high-level signal to control the second switching transistor M2 to be turned off and the third switching transistor M3 to be turned on. The turned-on third switching transistor M3 provides the low-level signal of the second reference signal terminal V2 to the first node N1, and further makes the signal at the first node N1 a low-level signal. Since the signal at the first node N1 is a low signal, the signal at the second node N2 is a high signal due to the second inverter D2, thereby controlling the transmission gate TG to be turned off and the eighth switching transistor M8 to be turned on. Since the signal of the output control signal terminal EN1 is a high level signal, the ninth switching transistor M9 is turned on. The turned-on eighth and ninth switching transistors M8 and M9 provide the low-level signal of the second reference signal terminal V2 to the driving signal Output terminal Output, so that the driving signal Output terminal Output outputs the scan signal with the low level.
In stage T6, Input is 0, CK is 0, and Reset is 0. Since Reset is 0, the seventh switching transistor M7 is turned off. Therefore, the first node N1 is kept at the low signal, the signal at the second node N2 is made to be the high signal by the second inverter N2, the transmission gate TG is controlled to be turned off, and the eighth switching transistor M8 is controlled to be turned on. Since the signal of the output control signal terminal EN1 is a high level signal, the ninth switching transistor M9 is turned on. The turned-on eighth and ninth switching transistors M8 and M9 provide the low-level signal of the second reference signal terminal V2 to the driving signal Output terminal Output, so that the driving signal Output terminal Output outputs the scan signal with the low level.
After the stage T6, the operation process of the stage T6 is repeatedly performed until the signal of the Input signal terminal Input becomes the high potential signal again.
The shift register provided by the embodiment of the invention can stably output the scanning signal through the simple structure and less signal lines, thereby simplifying the preparation process and reducing the production cost.
