Example 1
The embodiment of the invention provides a bidirectional scanning circuit which is used for scanning pixel units 4 line by line. As shown in fig. 1, the liquid crystal display device includes a plurality of stages of correspondingly arranged first signal units 1, switching transistors, and pixel units 4. Wherein,
the switching transistors are respectively connected with the trigger signal line and the first signal unit 1, and are used for receiving the trigger signal and sending a driving signal to the first signal unit 1.
The first signal unit 1 is respectively connected to the switching transistor and the pixel unit 4, and is configured to receive a driving signal, send a scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4, and send a trigger signal to the next stage of switching transistor.
The pixel unit 4 is connected to the first signal unit 1 for receiving the scanning signal of the first signal unit 1.
The scanning direction of the bidirectional scanning circuit can be adjusted by adjusting the trigger signal of the trigger signal line.
In the bidirectional scanning circuit provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the switching transistor sends the driving signal to the first signal unit 1 after receiving the trigger signal sent by the trigger signal line, and the first signal unit 1 sends the scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4 after receiving the driving signal, so as to implement scanning of the corresponding pixel unit 4. And the trigger signal is sent to the next-stage switching transistor while the scanning signal is sent, so that the next-stage first signal unit 1 can be driven to send the scanning signal to the next-stage pixel unit 4, and by analogy, the sequential scanning of the multi-stage pixel units 4 is realized. In addition, the turn-on sequence of the switching transistors can be adjusted by adjusting the trigger signal of the trigger signal line, and then the scanning signals are sequentially sent to the pixel units 4 of each stage according to the sequence, so that the adjustment of the scanning direction is realized. In summary, the bidirectional scanning circuit can realize bidirectional scanning of the pixel units 4 by configuring the corresponding first signal units 1 and the corresponding switch transistors in the pixel units 4 at each stage and adjusting the trigger signals of the trigger signal lines connected with the switch transistors, and the circuit structure is simple and easy to implement.
As an optional implementation manner, in this embodiment, each stage of the first signal unit 1 corresponds to the first switching transistor 31 and the second switching transistor 32, the trigger signal line includes a forward direction scan control line 51, a reverse direction scan control line 52, and a start pulse control line 53, the forward direction scan control line 51 and the reverse direction scan control line 52 are respectively connected to gates of the first switching transistor 31 and the second switching transistor 32, and the start pulse control line 53 is respectively connected to a source or a drain of the first stage of the first switching transistor 31 and a source or a drain of the last stage of the second switching transistor 32.
Thus, the forward direction scanning control line 51 is connected to the first switching transistor 31 in each stage, the reverse direction scanning control line 52 is connected to the second switching transistor 32 in each stage, and the turn-on pulse control line 53 is connected to the sources or drains of the first switching transistor 31 and the second switching transistor 32 at the head and tail ends, respectively. That is, the on pulse control line 53 and the forward scanning control line 51 cooperate with each other to sequentially turn on the first switching transistors 31 of each stage from top to bottom in fig. 1, and then drive the corresponding first signal units 1 to transmit scanning signals to the pixel units 4, so as to implement forward scanning from top to bottom; under the mutual cooperation of the start pulse control line 53 and the reverse scanning control line 52, the second switching transistor 32 of each stage is sequentially turned on from bottom to top in fig. 1, and then drives the corresponding first signal unit 1 to transmit a scanning signal to the pixel unit 4, thereby realizing reverse scanning from bottom to top. The forward scanning and the reverse scanning are respectively controlled by different switching transistors, so that the circuit design and the signal control are convenient.
As an alternative implementation, in the present embodiment, the scan signals include a first scan signal, a second scan signal and a third scan signal. Specifically, the first scan signal may be an initialization signal for a storage capacitor in the pixel unit 4, the second scan signal may be a data write signal, and the third scan signal may be an initialization signal for a light emitting diode.
The first signal unit 1 is used for sending a first scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4 and sending a third scanning signal to the pixel unit 4 at the previous stage in the forward scanning direction at the same time when the forward scanning is carried out; the first signal unit 1 is further configured to, during the reverse scanning, send a first scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4 and send a third scanning signal to the pixel unit 4 at the next stage in the reverse scanning direction. Meanwhile, the bidirectional scanning circuit further includes a second signal unit 2, and the second signal unit 2 is configured to send a second scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4.
Therefore, during forward scanning, the first signal unit 1 sends out a first scanning signal and simultaneously sends out a third scanning signal to the upper-stage pixel unit 4, and the second signal unit 2 is used for sending out a second scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4; during the reverse scanning, the first signal unit 1 sends a first scanning signal and simultaneously sends a third scanning signal to the next-stage pixel unit 4, and the second signal unit 2 is used for sending a second scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4. That is, the first signal unit 1 of each stage may simultaneously emit the first scan signal and the third scan signal of the pixel units 4 of two adjacent stages regardless of the forward scanning or the reverse scanning, that is, the first scan signal and the third scan signal belong to the same signal. Therefore, when the pixel unit 4 is connected with a plurality of scanning signal lines, the circuit structure and the scanning control mode are effectively simplified.
As an alternative implementation, in the present embodiment, the number of the first signal units 1 and the second signal units 2 is equal, and is one more than the number of the pixel units 4; in the reverse scanning, the scanning signal output terminal of the second signal unit 2 located at the first stage in the reverse scanning direction is grounded.
Therefore, in the scanning circuit, the number of the first signal units 1 is one more than that of the pixel units 4, that is, under the condition that the first signal units 1 simultaneously control the first scanning signals and the second scanning signals of the adjacent two stages of pixel units 4, the third scanning signal of the last stage of pixel unit 4 can be sent by the added first signal unit 1, and the pixel units 4 can be ensured to normally work. The number of the second signal units 2 is one more than that of the pixel units 4, and during reverse scanning, the scanning signal output end of the first-stage second signal unit 2 in the reverse scanning direction is grounded, so that forward and reverse scanning can be realized by switching the forward scanning control signal and the reverse scanning control signal under the condition of not changing the time sequence signal, the circuit structure is simplified, and debugging of the screen body is facilitated.
As an alternative, in this embodiment, the switching transistor may be a P-channel fet or an N-channel fet. Therefore, the good switching characteristic of the switching transistor is ensured, and the scanning efficiency of the scanning circuit is improved. The particular choice of which type of switching transistor is chosen may depend on the actual circumstances.
As an alternative, in this embodiment, the first signal unit 1 may be a shift register.
As an alternative, in this embodiment, the shift register is connected to the first clock signal line 54 and the second clock signal line 55, and the logic levels of the first clock signal and the second clock signal are opposite, that is, when the first clock signal is at a high level, the second clock signal is at a low level, and when the first clock signal is at a low level, the second clock signal is at a high level.
In addition, the present embodiment further provides a display device, which includes the bidirectional scanning circuit structure. The display device provided by the embodiment provides the scanning signals to each pixel unit through the bidirectional scanning circuit, and provides the data signals to each pixel unit through the data driving circuit, so as to realize display.
In this embodiment, the display device may be any type of display device such as a mobile phone, a PC, a tablet PC, a notebook, a vehicle-mounted device, an AR display device, and a VR display device.
Example 2
The embodiment of the invention provides a bidirectional scanning method, which is used for carrying out progressive scanning on pixel units 4. The method comprises the following steps:
in step S21, control signals are input to the first clock signal line 54, the second clock signal line 55, the start pulse control line 53, and the forward scanning control line 51, the first switching transistor 31 corresponding to the first-stage signal unit located in the forward scanning direction is turned on, and a driving signal is sent to the signal unit.
Specifically, the logic levels of the first clock signal and the second clock signal are opposite, the first switching transistor 31 is a P-channel fet, the start pulse control line 53 inputs a high level, and the forward direction scan control line 51 is connected to the gate of the first switching transistor 31 and inputs a low level, so that the first switching transistor 31 of the first stage is turned on, and transmits a driving signal to the first signal unit 1 of the first stage. At this time, the reverse scan control signal is at a high level, and thus the second switching transistor 32 is not turned on.
Step S22, after receiving the driving signal, the first signal unit 1 sends a scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4, and simultaneously sends a trigger signal to the next stage of the first switching transistor 31 in the forward scanning direction, and so on, thereby implementing the forward scanning of the pixel unit 4.
Specifically, after receiving the driving signal, the first signal unit 1 of the first stage sends a scanning signal to the pixel unit 4 of the first stage, and performs scanning on the pixel unit 4 of the first stage. And meanwhile, a trigger signal is sent to the source or the drain of the first switch transistor 31 of the second stage, because the gate of the first switch transistor 31 of the second stage is connected to the forward scanning control line 51, and the forward scanning control line 51 is at a low level, the first switch transistor 31 of the second stage is turned on to send a driving signal to the first signal unit 1 of the second stage, and the first signal unit 1 of the second stage sends a scanning signal to the pixel unit 4 of the second stage to scan the pixel unit 4 of the second stage. By analogy, the pixel unit 4 is scanned in the forward direction.
In step S23, a control signal is input to the reverse scanning control line 52, the second switching transistor 32 corresponding to the first-stage signal unit located in the reverse scanning direction is turned on, and a driving signal is sent to the corresponding first signal unit 1.
Unlike the forward scanning, at this time, the reverse scanning control signal is at a low level, the second switching transistor 32 is turned on, the forward scanning control signal is at a high level, and the first switching transistor 31 is turned off.
In step S24, after receiving the driving signal, the first signal unit 1 sends a scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4, and simultaneously sends a trigger signal to the next-stage second switching transistor 32 in the reverse scanning direction, and so on, thereby implementing the reverse scanning of the pixel unit 4.
This step is similar to the forward scan described above and will not be described further herein.
As a preferred embodiment, the scan signals include a first scan signal, a second scan signal, and a third scan signal.
When scanning in the forward direction, the first signal unit 1 sends a first scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4, and simultaneously sends a third scanning signal to the pixel unit 4 at the previous stage in the forward scanning direction; in the reverse scanning, the first signal unit 1 sends a first scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4, and also sends a third scanning signal to the next-stage pixel unit 4 in the reverse scanning direction. That is, the first scan signal and the third scan signal of the pixel unit 4 of two adjacent stages belong to the same scan signal.
The second signal unit 2 is used for sending out a second scanning signal to the corresponding pixel unit 4.
As an alternative implementation, in the present embodiment, the number of the first signal units 1 and the second signal units 2 is equal, and is one more than the number of the pixel units 4; in the reverse scanning, the scanning signal output terminal of the second signal unit 2 located at the first stage in the reverse scanning direction is grounded.
That is, in the case where the first signal unit 1 simultaneously controls the first scan signal and the second scan signal of the two adjacent stages of pixel units 4, the third scan signal of the last stage of pixel unit 4 can be sent by the added first signal unit 1, and it is ensured that the pixel unit 4 can normally operate. The number of the second signal units 2 is one more than that of the pixel units 4, and during reverse scanning, the scanning signal output end of the first-stage second signal unit 2 in the reverse scanning direction is grounded, so that forward and reverse scanning can be realized by switching the forward scanning control signal and the reverse scanning control signal under the condition of not changing the time sequence signal, the circuit structure is simplified, and debugging of the screen body is facilitated.
