Description

Level shift circuit, driving method thereof and display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a level shift circuit, a driving method thereof and a display device.
Background
The display device generally includes a gate driving circuit for driving the pixel unit to emit light, and the gate driving circuit may input a gate driving signal to the pixel unit under the control of the driving signal. However, since the driving signal (such as a clock signal or a turn-on signal) provided to the gate driving circuit has a low potential, and the transistor in the gate driving circuit may not be sufficiently turned on, a plurality of level shift circuits are generally provided, wherein each level shift circuit can amplify one driving signal and then provide the amplified driving signal to the gate driving circuit.
In the related art, in order to adapt to gate driving circuits with various structures, the number of level shift circuits provided in a display device is generally greater than the number of driving signal terminals in the gate driving circuit. Each of the level-shift circuits may be connected to a first power source terminal that can input a first power source signal to the level-shift circuit and a second power source terminal that can input a second power source signal to the level-shift circuit, and the level-shift circuit may amplify the driving signal under control of the two power source signals. And when the first power supply end and the second power supply end input power signals to the level shift circuit, a quiescent current is generated in the level shift circuit, and the magnitude of the quiescent current is in direct proportion to the discharge time of the first power supply end and the second power supply end.
However, since the level shifter circuit in the related art is used or not, the first power supply terminal and the second power supply terminal input the power supply signal to the level shifter circuit, that is, the unused level shifter circuit also generates a quiescent current. Accordingly, a quiescent current of a level shifter included in the display device is large, and accordingly, a discharge time of the first power source terminal and the second power source terminal is small. In an environment with a low temperature, residual charges generated due to the performance deterioration of transistors in the gate driving circuit may not be effectively released in the short time, and the display effect of the display device is poor because the residual charges cause the horizontal stripe phenomenon of the display screen of the display device to be effectively improved.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The transistors used in all embodiments of the present invention may be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other devices having the same characteristics, and the transistors used in embodiments of the present invention are mainly switching transistors depending on the role in the circuit. Since the source and drain of the switching transistor used herein are symmetrical, the source and drain may be interchanged. In the embodiment of the present invention, the source is referred to as a first stage, and the drain is referred to as a second stage. The form of the figure provides that the middle end of the transistor is a grid, the signal input end is a source, and the signal output end is a drain. In addition, the switching transistor used in the embodiment of the present invention may include any one of a P-type switching transistor that is turned on when the gate is at a low level and turned off when the gate is at a high level and an N-type switching transistor that is turned on when the gate is at a high level and turned off when the gate is at a low level.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a Level shift circuit (LS) according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the Level shift circuit may include: a level shift sub-circuit 10 and a switch control sub-circuit 20.
The switch control sub-circuit 20 may be connected to the driving signal terminal Vin, the first power terminal VGH, the second power terminal VGL, and the level shift sub-circuit 10, respectively. For example, in fig. 1, the switch control sub-circuit 20 may be connected to the first terminal P1, the second terminal P2, and the third terminal P3 of the level shift sub-circuit 10, respectively. The switch control sub-circuit 20 can control the first power terminal VGH to be conducted with the first terminal P1 of the level shifter sub-circuit 10, control the second power terminal VGL to be conducted with the second terminal P2 of the level shifter sub-circuit 10, and input the driving signal to the third terminal P3 of the level shifter sub-circuit 10 when the driving signal terminal Vin has the driving signal input. The switch control sub-circuit 20 may further control the first power terminal VGH and the second power terminal VGL to turn off the level shift sub-circuit 10 when the driving signal terminal Vin has no driving signal input.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to adapt to gate driving circuits with various structures, level shift circuits with more number than driving signal terminals in the gate driving circuits are generally disposed, so that there may be a case where no driving signal is input to the driving signal terminal Vin of the level shift circuit, that is, there may be a case where an input/output channel (channel) of the level shift circuit is not used. The input/output channel may refer to a signal transmission channel between the driving signal terminal Vin and the output terminal OUT in the level shift circuit. The unused input/output channel means that the driving signal terminal Vin has no driving signal input, and correspondingly, the output terminal OUT has no amplified driving signal output.
In the related art, even if the driving signal terminal Vin has no driving signal input and the level shift circuit is not used, the first power terminal VGH and the second power terminal VGL are both turned on by the level shift circuit, that is, both input power signals to the level shift sub-circuit 10, and the level shift sub-circuit 10 generates a static current. The quiescent current of the level shifter circuit 10 is large. The quiescent current is the current within the level shifting sub-circuit 10. When the quiescent current of the level shifter circuit 10 is large, the power-down time of the first power source terminal VGH and the second power source terminal VGL is reduced. The power-down time refers to the time when the signal end of the display device discharges after the shutdown operation is executed. The quantity of the released residual charges generated on the display device is in direct proportion to the power-down time, namely the longer the power-down time is, the more the residual charges are released; the shorter the power down time, the less residual charge is discharged. Therefore, when the power-down time is short, residual charges generated on a display screen of the display device may not be effectively released within the short power-down time, and the display device cannot effectively improve the horizontal stripe phenomenon due to the residual charges.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the level shift circuit includes the switch control sub-circuit 20, and the switch control sub-circuit 20 can control the first power source terminal VGH and the second power source terminal VGL to be turned off from the level shift sub-circuit 10 when the driving signal terminal Vin has no driving signal input, that is, when the level shift circuit is not used, the first power source terminal VGH cannot input the first power source signal to the level shift sub-circuit 10, and the second power source terminal VGL cannot input the second power source signal to the level shift sub-circuit 10, accordingly, the level shift sub-circuit 10 will not generate the quiescent current. The level shift sub-circuit 10 provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a smaller quiescent current. The power-down time of the first power supply terminal VGH and the second power supply terminal VGL is increased, that is, the discharge time of the first power supply terminal VGH and the second power supply terminal VGL can be prolonged, and the residual charges can be effectively released in the prolonged discharge time, so that the cross-striation phenomenon of the display device can be effectively improved.
For example, it is assumed that 14 level shift sub-circuits 10 are provided in the display device, wherein 12 level shift sub-circuits 10 are used for amplifying the CLK signal and supplying the amplified CLK signal to the gate driving circuit, and 2 level shift sub-circuits 10 are used for amplifying the STV signal and supplying the amplified STV signal to the gate driving circuit. Assuming that the gate driving circuit in the display device has a 19T1C structure (i.e. consisting of 19 transistors and 1 capacitor), it needs 11 driving signal terminals (including 10 clock signal terminals CLK and 1 turn-on signal terminal STV). Therefore, after 11 driving signal terminals of the gate driving circuit are connected to the corresponding level shift sub-circuits 10, 2 level shift sub-circuits 10 for amplifying the CLK signal and 1 level shift word circuit 10 for amplifying the STV signal remain without driving signal input. At this time, the switch control sub-circuit 01 can control both the first power source terminal VGH and the second power source terminal VGL to be turned off from the remaining 3 level shift sub-circuits 10. At this time, the first power source terminal VGH cannot input the first power source signal to the remaining 3 level-shift sub-circuits 10, and the second power source terminal VGL cannot input the second power source signal to the remaining 3 level-shift sub-circuits 10.
Referring to fig. 1, the level shift sub-circuit 10 may be further connected to the output terminal OUT, and the level shift sub-circuit 10 may amplify the driving signal and input the amplified driving signal to the output terminal OUT when turned on with the first power source terminal VGH and the second power source terminal VGL.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the level shift sub-circuit 10 may be an amplifier. When the switch control sub-circuit 20 controls the first power supply terminal VGH to be conducted with the first terminal P1 of the level shifter sub-circuit 10, and controls the second power supply terminal VGL to be conducted with the second terminal P2 of the level shifter sub-circuit 10, the level shifter sub-circuit 10 may amplify the driving signal input from the switch control sub-circuit 20 to the third terminal P3 under the control of the first power supply signal provided by the first power supply terminal VGH and the second power supply signal provided by the second power supply terminal VGL, and input the amplified driving signal to the output terminal OUT. The output terminal OUT may input the amplified driving signal to the gate driving circuit, so as to drive the gate driving circuit to operate. Accordingly, when the switch control sub-circuit 20 controls the first power terminal VGH and the second power terminal VGL to be turned off from the level shift sub-circuit 10, neither the first power terminal VGH nor the second power terminal VGL can input the power signal to the level shift sub-circuit 10, and accordingly, the level shift sub-circuit 10 does not generate the quiescent current.
For example, assuming that the potential of the first power signal supplied from the first power terminal VGH is 30 volts (V), the potential of the second power signal supplied from the second power terminal VGL is-7V, and the potential of the driving signal supplied from the driving signal terminal Vin varies from 0 to 3.3V. When the switch control sub-circuit 20 controls the first power terminal VGH to be conducted with the first terminal P1 of the level shift sub-circuit 10, and controls the second power terminal VGL to be conducted with the second terminal P2 of the level shift sub-circuit 10, the level shift sub-circuit 10 can amplify the variation range of the electric potential of the driving signal from 0 to 3.3V to-7V to 30V according to the first power signal and the second power signal, and input the electric potential to the output terminal OUT. That is, the potential of the gate driving signal finally inputted to the gate driving circuit varies from-7V to 30V.
In summary, the level shift circuit provided in the embodiments of the present invention includes a level shift sub-circuit and a switch control sub-circuit, where the switch control sub-circuit can be connected to the driving signal terminal, the first power terminal, the second power terminal, and the level shift sub-circuit. The switch control sub-circuit may control the first power terminal and the second power terminal to turn off the level shift sub-circuit when the driving signal terminal does not have the driving signal input, that is, the first power terminal cannot input the first power signal to the level shift sub-circuit, and the second power terminal cannot input the second power signal to the level shift sub-circuit. Therefore, no driving signal is input at the driving signal end, no static current is generated in the level shift sub-circuit, and compared with the prior art that no matter whether the driving signal end has the driving signal input, the first power supply end and the second power supply end input power signals into the level shift sub-circuit and the level shift sub-circuit generates the static current, the static current of the level shift sub-circuit in the display device provided by the invention is reduced, correspondingly, the discharge time of the first power supply end and the second power supply end is prolonged relative to the prior art, residual charges can be effectively released in the prolonged time, and the cross striation phenomenon of the display screen of the display device due to the residual charges is improved. The display device has a good display effect.
Optionally, when the display device is tested in a low-temperature environment, for example, the test conditions are as follows: in the environment of-5 ℃, the display device is started and shut down once every 3 seconds, and when testing, a tester needs to firstly adjust the Power-on time sequence to the minimum value specified in the test specification, namely adjust the effective time of Power-on to the minimum time; and adjusts the Power-off timing to the minimum specified in the test specification, i.e., adjusts the effective time of Power-off to the minimum time. The tester finds that a gate driving circuit in the display device is prone to have a problem of Limit Power Sequence (LPS), that is, a transistor in the gate driving circuit has poor performance in a low temperature environment, and the electron mobility is correspondingly poor, so that a charge residue phenomenon is generated, and a cross-striation phenomenon or a block (block) phenomenon occurs on a display screen of the display device.
The present invention can extend the power-down time of the power source terminal in the display device, for example, the power-down time of the VGH signal or the CLK signal, by reducing the quiescent current of the level shifter sub-circuit 10. Fig. 2 is a timing diagram illustrating changes of VGH signals and VGH signals according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the time required for the power-down of the VGH signal and the CLK signal in the related art is T1, and the time required for the power-down of the VGH signal and the CLK signal in the invention is T2, and it can be seen from fig. 2 that T2 is greater than T1. By prolonging the time required by the power failure of the VGH signal and the CLK signal, the display device can release more residual charges, so that the elimination of the cross striation phenomenon or the block phenomenon is facilitated, and the display effect of the display device is improved.
Optionally, in order to prolong the time required for the VGH signal and the CLK signal to be powered off and improve the horizontal stripe phenomenon, the level shift sub-circuit 10 may further pull up the potential of the CLK signal or the potential of the VGH signal to a higher potential after the display device performs the shutdown operation, and then perform the discharging.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of another level shift circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the switch control sub-circuit 20 may include: a detection module 201 and a switch module 202.
Referring to fig. 2, the detection module 201 may be respectively connected to the driving signal terminal Vin, the reference power terminal Vref, and the third terminal P3, and the detection module 201 may detect whether a signal provided by the driving signal terminal Vin is the same as a reference power signal provided by the reference power terminal Vref. When the signal provided by the driving signal terminal Vin is the same as the reference power signal, the detection module 201 may determine that the driving signal terminal Vin has a driving signal input, input a driving signal to the third terminal P3, and input an on signal to the switch module 202; the detection module 201 may further determine that the driving signal terminal Vin has no driving signal input when the signal provided by the driving signal terminal Vin is different from the reference power signal, and input a turn-off signal to the switch module 202.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the reference power supply signal provided by the reference power supply terminal Vref may be an input signal provided to the level shifter circuit by a Timing Controller (Tcon). The driving signal provided by the driving signal terminal Vin is also provided by the Tcon. In addition, when manufacturing the display device, an operator can control the connection state of the output end of the Tcon and the driving signal end Vin according to the connection state of the output end OUT of the level shift circuit and the gate driving circuit, so that the Tcon can only provide signals for the driving signal end Vin connected with the Tcon. The signal provided by the Tcon may generally include an STV signal and a CLK signal.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, an output terminal of Tcon may be connected to the reference power terminal Vref and the driving signal terminal Vin of each level shifter circuit in two paths. One path of the output end of the Tcon can be directly connected with a reference power supply end Vref of each level shifter circuit, and provides an input signal for the reference power supply end Vref; the other path of the output terminal of Tcon may be connected to the driving signal terminal Vin of each level shifter through a 0 ohm resistor, and provides a driving signal to the driving signal terminal Vin.
When the output end OUT of a certain level shift circuit is connected with the grid drive circuit, an operator can adjust the connection relation between the Tcon and the level shift circuit, and the Tcon can provide signals for both the drive signal end Vin and the reference power supply end Vref of the level shift circuit; when the output terminal OUT of a certain level shift circuit is not connected to the gate driving circuit, an operator may disconnect the output terminal of Tcon from the driving signal terminal Vin of the level shift circuit by removing a 0 ohm resistor between Tcon and the level shift circuit (for example, when the resistor is a chip resistor, power may not be supplied to the chip resistor), so that Tcon may supply a signal only to the reference power terminal Vref of the level shift circuit, but not to the driving signal terminal Vin of the level shift circuit. Or, another path of the output end of the Tcon may also be directly connected to the driving signal terminal Vin of each level shift circuit, and when the output end OUT of a certain level shift circuit is not connected to the gate driving circuit, an operator may directly disconnect the output end of the Tcon from the path of the connection of the driving signal terminal Vin of the level shift circuit, so that the Tcon may not provide a driving signal to the driving signal terminal Vin of the level shift circuit.
For example, assuming that the output terminal OUT of a certain level shifter circuit is connected to the first clock signal terminal CLK1 of the gate driver circuit, Tcon may supply the first clock signal CLK1 to both the driving signal terminal Vin and the reference power supply terminal Vref of the level shifter circuit. At this time, the detection module 201 can detect that the signal CLK1 provided by the driving signal terminal Vin is the same as the reference power signal CLK1 provided by the reference power terminal Vref, and can determine that the driving signal terminal Vin has the driving signal input, and the detection module 201 can input the driving signal CLK1 to the third terminal P3 and input the turn-on signal to the switch module 202. Assuming that the output terminal OUT of a certain level shifter circuit is not connected to the gate driver circuit, an operator may remove a 0 ohm resistor between Tcon and the level shifter circuit to disconnect the output terminal of Tcon from the driving signal terminal Vin, so that Tcon may supply the reference power signal only to the reference power terminal Vref of the level shifter circuit, and not to the driving signal terminal Vin of the level shifter circuit.
