Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
As described in the background art, the conventional lighting control circuit does not support the operation with a low refresh rate, and the lighting control circuit may have an abnormal operation at a low refresh rate, which may affect the display effect. The inventor researches and finds that the above problems occur because the conventional light emitting control circuit generally includes a plurality of cascaded shift registers, each shift register generally includes a plurality of thin film transistors, and in order to ensure that the display panel has lower power consumption at a low refresh frequency, the shift register is generally required to output the same level signal for a long time, and the long-time output of the same level signal by the shift register can cause a certain transistor or some transistors in the shift register to be under the stress of positive voltage or the stress of negative voltage for a long time, so that the threshold voltage of the thin film transistor under the stress of positive voltage or the stress of negative voltage for a long time is subjected to positive bias or negative bias, and the positive bias or negative bias of the threshold voltage causes the leakage of the thin film transistor to increase, thereby causing abnormal operation of the shift register. Since the shift registers in the light-emitting control circuit are usually connected in cascade, the abnormal operation of one shift register may cause the abnormal operation of the whole light-emitting control circuit, and finally the display effect is affected.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a shift register commonly used in the prior art, and referring to fig. 1, the shift register includes a first output transistor T01, a second output transistor T02, a control transistor T03 electrically connected to a gate of the second output transistor T02, a first output control module, a second output control module, a first voltage terminal VGH, a second voltage terminal VGL, a first clock signal terminal ECK1, and a second clock signal terminal (not shown in the figure). For example, if each thin film transistor in the shift register is a P-type transistor (the gate is turned on when the signal is a low level signal), and the thin film transistor in the pixel circuit in the display panel driven by the light emission control circuit is also a P-type transistor, the shift register needs to output a high level signal for a long time, and the potential of the gate of the second output transistor T02 (i.e., the N0 node) needs to be a high potential for a long time, so that the second output transistor T02 is in an off state. However, if the potential of the N0 node is high for a long time, which may cause the control transistor T03 to be under the stress of a positive voltage for a long time, the leakage of the control transistor T03 may increase, the first output control module and the second output control module are both electrically connected to the control transistor T03, the increase of the leakage of the control transistor T03 may cause the thin film transistors in the first output control module and the second output control module to operate abnormally, the output end of the first output control module is electrically connected to the first output transistor T01, and the output end of the second output control module is electrically connected to the second output transistor T02, so the abnormal operation of the thin film transistors in the first output control module and the second output control module may cause the abnormal operation of the first output transistor T01 and the second output transistor T02, and finally, the output signal of the shift register is inaccurate, which affects the display effect.
Based on the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a shift register, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the shift register provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 2, the shift register includes: a first output module 110, a second output module 120, a first output control module 130, a second output control module 140, a first common node potential control module 150, a second common node potential control module 160;
the first common node potential control module 150 is configured to control the potential of the common node a according to a signal of the first clock signal terminal ECK 1; the second common node potential control module 160 is electrically connected to the first node N1 and the common node a, and is configured to control the potential of the common node a according to the signal of the first clock signal terminal ECK1, the signal of the second clock signal terminal ECK2 and the signal of the first node N1, and to maintain the potential of the common node a when the shift register outputs the first potential signal;
the first output control module 130 is configured to control the potential of the second node N2 according to the signal of the second clock signal terminal ECK2, the signal of the first node N1 and the signal of the common node a; the first output module 110 is configured to transmit a signal of the first voltage terminal VGH to an output terminal of the shift register according to the potential of the second node N2;
the second output control module 140 is configured to control the potential of the first node N1 according to the signal of the first clock signal terminal ECK1, the signal of the second clock signal terminal ECK2 and the potential of the common node a; the second output module 120 is used for transmitting the signal of the second voltage terminal VGL to the output terminal OUT of the shift register according to the potential of the first node N1.
Specifically, the shift registers may be used in a light emission control circuit, and in the display panel, each shift register may be connected to at least one light emission control line, and each light emission control line may be connected to one row of pixel circuits. Optionally, when the output signal of the shift register is the first potential signal, the light emitting device in the pixel circuit does not emit light, and when the output signal of the shift register is the second potential signal, the light emitting device in the pixel circuit emits light. For example, when the light emission control transistor in the pixel circuit is a P-type transistor, the first potential signal is a high potential signal, and the second potential signal is a low potential signal. As described above, if the shift register outputs a signal of the same level for a long time, some or some transistors in the shift register may be under the stress of positive voltage or negative voltage for a long time, which may increase the leakage of the thin film transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the gate of the output transistor, and may cause the potential of the node electrically connected to the source or the drain of the thin film transistor to be unstable, which may cause an abnormal operation of the shift register.
In the present invention, the first node N1 is equivalent to the N0 node in the shift register shown in fig. 1. In the shift register of this embodiment, the second common node potential control module 160 is electrically connected to the first node N1 and the common node a, respectively, and the second common node potential control module 160 maintains the potential of the common node a when the signal output by the shift register is the first potential signal (the first potential signal is a potential signal output by the shift register for a long time at a low refresh frequency, and when the pixel circuit receives the first potential signal, the light emitting device in the pixel circuit does not emit light), for example, the second common node potential control module 160 may have a smaller leakage current than the control transistor T03 in the shift register shown in fig. 1, so that when the shift register outputs the first potential signal for a long time, the potential of the common node a can be maintained well, because the first output control module 130 needs to control the potential of the first node N1 according to the potential of the common node a, the second output control module 140 needs to control the potential of the second node N2 according to the potential of the common node a, and the potential of the common node a is well maintained, so that it can be ensured that the signal output from the first output control module 130 to the second node N2 according to the potential signal of the common node a is relatively accurate, and that the signal output from the second output control module 140 to the first node N1 according to the potential signal of the common node a is relatively accurate, and further, the conduction states of the first output module 110 and the second output module 120 are relatively accurate, that is, the abnormal actions of the modules in the shift register are reduced, it is ensured that the shift register can normally work when the display panel performs low refresh rate display, and the display effect of the display panel is ensured.
The above is the core idea of the present invention, and the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 3 is a driving timing diagram of a shift register according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the driving timing diagram can be used to drive the shift register shown in fig. 1, and referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, an operation process of the shift register shown in fig. 2 includes a first stage t1, a second stage t2, a third stage 23, a fourth stage t4, a fifth stage t5, a sixth stage t6, and a seventh stage t 7. Optionally, the signal input by the first voltage end VGH is a first potential signal, the signal input by the second voltage end VGL is a second potential signal, and optionally, the first potential signal is a high potential, and the second potential signal is a low potential. Hereinafter, a signal input to the first clock signal input terminal is referred to as a first clock signal, and a signal input to the second clock signal input terminal is referred to as a second clock signal. The following description will take the example that the first clock signal and the second clock signal are both active at low potential (i.e. the module controlled by the first clock signal is turned on when the first clock signal is at low potential, and the module controlled by the second clock signal is turned on when the second clock signal is at low potential).
In the first period t1, the start signal terminal inputs a low voltage, the first clock signal is at a low voltage, and the second clock signal is at a high voltage. The first common node potential control module 150 transmits a low potential signal of the second voltage terminal VGL to the common node a in response to a low potential of the first clock signal, so that the potential of the common node a is a low potential. The second common node potential control module 160 transmits a low potential signal of the second voltage terminal VGL to the common node a in response to the low potential of the first node N1 and the low potential of the first clock signal. The second output control module 140 is turned on between the start signal terminal and the first node N1 in response to the low level of the first clock signal, and transmits the low level signal of the start signal terminal to the first node N1, and the second output control module 120 is turned on in response to the low level of the first node N1, so that the low level signal of the second voltage terminal VGL is transmitted to the output terminal of the shift register. The first output control module 130 responds to the low voltage level of the first node N1 to enable the first voltage terminal VGH to be connected to the second node N2, so that the high voltage level of the first voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the second node N2, and the first output control module 110 responds to the high voltage level of the second node N2 to be disconnected, so that the high voltage level of the first voltage terminal VGH cannot be transmitted to the output terminal of the shift register.
In the second phase t2, the start signal terminal inputs a low voltage, the first clock signal is at a high voltage, and the second clock signal is at a low voltage. Optionally, the second output control module 140 includes a first storage unit electrically connected to the first node N1, and the first storage unit is configured to store the potential of the first node N1, so that the potential of the first node N1 is kept at a low potential. The second output module 120 is turned on in response to the low level of the first node N1 during the second stage t2, such that the low level signal of the second voltage terminal VGL is transmitted to the output terminal of the shift register. The first output control module 130 responds to the low voltage level of the first node N1 to make the first voltage terminal VGH and the second node N2 turn on, so that the high voltage level of the first voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the second node N2, and the first output module 110 responds to the high voltage level of the second node N2 to turn off, so that the high voltage level of the first voltage terminal VGH cannot be transmitted to the output terminal of the shift register. The second common node potential control module 160 transmits a high potential signal of the first voltage terminal VGH to the common node a in response to the low potential of the first node N1 and the low potential of the second clock signal. Therefore, in the second stage t2, the output terminal of the shift register continues to output the low signal.
In the third stage t3, the start signal terminal inputs a high voltage, the first clock signal is a low voltage, and the second clock signal is a high voltage. The first common node potential control module 150 transmits a low potential signal of the second voltage terminal VGL to the common node a in response to the first clock signal, so that the potential of the common node a is a low potential. The second output control module 140 responds to the low level of the first clock signal to turn on the start signal terminal and the first node N1, and transmits the high level signal of the start signal terminal to the first node N1, and the second output control module 120 responds to the high level of the first node N1 to turn off, so that the low level signal of the second voltage terminal VGL cannot be transmitted to the output terminal of the shift register. The first output control module 130 is responsive to the high voltage level of the first node N1 to disable the conduction between the first voltage terminal VGH and the second node N2, such that the high voltage level of the first voltage terminal VGH cannot be transmitted to the second node N2, and the first output control module 130 is responsive to the high voltage level of the second clock signal terminal ECK2 to disable the conduction between the second clock signal terminal ECK2 and the second node N2; the first output module 110 may include a second storage unit, and the second storage unit may be configured to store the potential of the second node N2, such that the second node N2 maintains the high potential of the previous stage, and the first output module 110 is also turned off. The second common node potential control module 160 is turned off according to the high potential of the first node N1. Therefore, in the third stage t3, the first output block 110 and the second output block 120 are both turned off, and the output terminal of the shift register maintains the low potential outputted from the previous stage.
In the fourth period t4, the start signal terminal inputs a high voltage, the first clock signal is a high voltage, and the second clock signal is a low voltage. Optionally, the first output control module 130 includes a third storage unit electrically connected to the common node a, and the third storage unit can be used for storing the potential of the common node a. The first output control module 130 is responsive to a low level of the common node a and a low level of the second clock signal terminal ECK2 to make the second clock signal terminal ECK2 and the second node N2 conductive, and transmit a low level signal of the second clock signal terminal ECK2 to the second node N2, and the first output module 110 is responsive to a low level of the second node N2 to be conductive, and transmit a high level signal of the first voltage terminal VGH to the output terminal of the shift register. Meanwhile, the second output control module 140 responds to the low potential of the common node a and the low potential of the second clock signal terminal ECK2, so that the first voltage terminal VGH is connected to the first node N1, the high potential signal of the first voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the first node N1, and the second output module 120 responds to the high potential of the first node N1 and is turned off, so that the low potential signal of the second voltage terminal VGL cannot be transmitted to the output terminal of the shift register. The second common node potential control module 160 is turned off according to the high potential of the first node N1.
In the fifth phase t5, the start signal terminal inputs a high voltage, the first clock signal is a low voltage, and the second clock signal is a high voltage. The first common node potential control module 150 is turned on in response to a low potential of the first clock signal, and transmits a low potential signal of the second voltage terminal VGL to the common node a, which is a low potential. The second output control module 140 turns on the start signal terminal and the first node N1 in response to the low level of the first clock signal, transmits the high level of the start signal terminal to the first node N1, and turns off the second output module 120 in response to the high level of the first node N1. And the second output control module 140 responds to the high level of the second clock signal, such that the first voltage terminal VGH is not conducted with the first node N1. The first output control module 130 is responsive to the high signal of the second clock signal terminal ECK2 to disable the conduction between the second clock signal terminal ECK2 and the second node N2, and the first output control module 130 is responsive to the high signal of the first node N1 to disable the conduction between the first voltage terminal VGH and the second node N2. In the fifth phase t5, the second memory cell of the first output module 110 maintains the low voltage level at the second node N2, and the first output module 110 is turned on in response to the low voltage level at the second node N2 to transmit the high voltage level at the first voltage terminal VGH to the output terminal of the shift signal. The second common node potential control module 160 is turned off according to the high potential of the first node N1.
In the sixth phase t6, the start signal terminal inputs a low signal, the first clock signal is high, and the second clock signal is low. The first common node potential control module 150 is turned off in response to a high level of the first clock signal, such that the second voltage terminal VGL is not conducted with the common node a. The first memory cell maintains the high voltage level of the first node N1, and the second common node a control voltage level module is turned off in response to the high voltage level of the first node N1, such that neither the high voltage signal of the first voltage terminal VGH nor the low voltage signal of the second voltage terminal VGL can be transmitted to the common node a through the second common node control voltage module 160. The second memory cell holds a low potential for a stage on the common node a. The first output control module 130 is responsive to a low level of the common node a and a low level of the second clock signal to make the second clock signal terminal ECK2 and the second node N2 conduct, and transmit a low level of the second clock signal to the first node N1, and the first output module 110 is responsive to a low level of the first node N1 to conduct, and transmit a high level signal of the first voltage terminal VGH to the output terminal of the shift register.
In the seventh phase t7, the start signal terminal inputs a low voltage, the first clock signal is at a low voltage, and the second clock signal is at a high voltage. The first common node potential control module 150 is turned on in response to the low potential of the first clock signal, and transmits the low potential signal of the second voltage terminal VGL to the common node a, so that the potential of the common node a is a low potential.

The first output control module 130 responds to the low voltage level of the first node N1 to enable the first voltage terminal VGH to be connected to the second node N2, so that the high voltage level of the first voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the second node N2, and the first output control module 110 responds to the high voltage level of the second node N2 to be disconnected, so that the high voltage level of the first voltage terminal VGH cannot be transmitted to the output terminal of the shift register.
As can be seen from the above analysis of the operation process of the shift register, in the third stage t3, the fourth stage t4, the fifth stage t5 and the sixth stage t6, the potential of the first node N1 is a first potential signal, which is a signal of the first voltage terminal VGH (in the embodiments of the present invention, the first potential signal is a high potential signal). In the shift register of this embodiment, when the signal output by the shift register is the first potential signal (the first potential signal is a potential signal output by the display panel at a low refresh frequency for a long time by the shift register, and when the pixel circuit receives the first potential signal, the light emitting device in the pixel circuit does not emit light), the potential of the common node a is maintained, for example, the second common node potential control module 160 may have a smaller leakage current than the control transistor T03 in the shift register shown in fig. 1, so that when the shift register outputs the first potential signal for a long time, the potential of the common node a may be maintained well, and it is ensured that the shift register may operate normally when the display panel performs low refresh rate display, thereby ensuring the display effect of the display panel.
