Fig. 2 illustrates the thin film transistors in the shift register as N-type transistors, but the structure is not limited thereto. Fig. 3 is a driving timing diagram of a shift register according to an embodiment of the present invention, and with reference to fig. 2 and fig. 3, the operation process of the shift register is as follows:
in the charging period T1, the forward scan signal input terminal INF inputs a high level, the first transistor M1 is turned on, and the forward scan control terminal U2D inputs a high level to charge the first node N1 and pull it high. Since the first node N1 is at a high level, the tenth transistor M10 is turned on, and the second clock signal of the second clock signal terminal OUT is transmitted to the scan signal output terminal GOUT (the second clock signal may be at a non-enable level during the charging phase). Meanwhile, since the first node N1 is at a high level, the ninth transistor M9 is turned on, so that the second reference potential of the second reference signal terminal VGL is transmitted to the second node N2, the potential of the second node N2 is reduced, and the eighth transistor M8 and the eleventh transistor M11 are turned off, the second reference potential is not transmitted to the scan signal output terminal GOUT and the first node N1, and further, since the pull-DOWN control terminal DC is input at a high level, the third transistor M3 is turned on, and the pull-DOWN signal terminal DOWN is input at a low level to pull DOWN the potential of the second node N2, so that the potential of the second node N2 is further ensured to be at a low level, the second reference potential of the second reference signal terminal VGL is ensured not to be transmitted to the first node N1, and the situation that the tenth transistor M10 cannot be turned on due to the fact that the second reference potential of the first node N1 is pulled DOWN by the leakage current of the eighth transistor M8 is avoided, the potential of the first node N1 is guaranteed to meet the conduction condition of the tenth transistor M10, and the driving capability of the shift register is improved.
In the signal output stage T2, since the first capacitor C1 stores the potential of the first node N1, the potential of the first node N1 is maintained at a high level, and the tenth transistor M10 is in a turned-on state, and in this stage, the second clock signal terminal OUT inputs a high level (enable level) so that the scan signal output terminal GOUT outputs a high level, and the shift register supplies the scan signal to the corresponding gate line.
In the reset period T3, the forward scan control terminal U2D inputs a high level, the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, and the first forward scan clock signal terminal RSTF inputs a high level, so that the seventh transistor M7 is turned on, the first reference potential of the first reference signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the second node N2, and the potential of the second node N2 is pulled up. Since the second node N2 is at a high level, the eighth transistor M8 and the eleventh transistor M11 are turned on, the second reference signal of the second reference signal terminal VGL is transmitted to the first node N1, the potential of the first node N1 is pulled down, so that the tenth transistor M10 is turned off, the second clock signal of the second clock signal terminal OUT is not transmitted to the scan signal output terminal GOUT, and since the eleventh transistor M11 is turned on, the second reference signal of the second reference signal terminal VGL is transmitted to the scan signal output terminal GOUT, and the shift register resets the signal on the gate line.
As shown in fig. 3, the signals output by the forward scan signal input terminal INF and the pull-DOWN control terminal DC are the same, so in other embodiments, the forward scan signal input terminal INF can be multiplexed into the pull-DOWN control terminal DC, and in addition, the second reference signal terminal VGL can be multiplexed into the pull-DOWN signal terminal DOWN, so as to avoid adding pins required by the driver chip and ensure the practicability of the existing driver chip.
For example, fig. 4 is a timing diagram of driving another shift register according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 4, alternatively, the scan control terminal (e.g., the forward scan control terminal U2D) provides the enable level of the scan control signal during the charging period T1 and the reset period T3, and provides the disable level of the scan control signal during the pause period T4; the signal input terminal (e.g., the positive direction scan signal input terminal INF) provides the enable level of the input signal during the charging period T1, and provides the disable level of the input signal during the rest period T4 and the reset period T3; in the intermittent period T4, the first node control module 10 is configured to be in a non-biased state under the control of the scan control signal and the input signal.
Specifically, the scan control terminal of each shift register of the scan driving circuit is usually connected to the same scan control line, and the scan control line is used for transmitting the enable level of the scan control signal to the scan control terminal thereof in the charging stage and the reset stage of each shift register.
As shown in FIG. 2, after the charging of the first node N1 of the shift register is completed, the first node control module 10 is in the negative bias state until the next charging of the first node N1 of the shift register. Taking the first node control module including the first transistor M1 as an example, during the period from the end of the charging phase to the start of the next charging phase, if the gate potential Vg of the first transistor M1 is at a low level and the source potential Vs of the first transistor M1 is at a high level, the first transistor M1 will be in a negative bias state for a long time because Vg < Vs, and the long-time negative bias state may affect the performance of the first transistor M1, so that the threshold of the first transistor M1 may drift, and when the charging phase is entered again, the first transistor M1 cannot be controlled to meet the conduction condition of Vgs > Vth in an accurate time period, so that the first node control module 10 in the charging phase is abnormally turned on, or even cannot be turned on. Referring to fig. 2 and 4, in this embodiment, the scan control terminal is set to provide the non-enable level of the scan control signal in the intermittent stage, so that the first node control module 10 is in a non-biased state in this stage, thereby avoiding adverse effects caused by long-term negative bias, and further enabling the shift register to output an accurate scan signal. Still taking the example that the first node control module includes the first transistor M1, in the intermittent period T4, the gate potential of the first transistor M1 is at a low level, and the source potential of the first transistor M1 is at a low level, so that the first transistor M1 is in a non-biased state.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, the intermittent phase T4 may be located after the reset phase T3. Therefore, in the whole scanning process, the first node control module 10 of any shift register is alternately in the negative bias state and the non-bias state after the charging stage is finished until the next charging stage is started, so that the situation that the subsequent charging stage cannot be normally conducted due to long-term negative bias can be avoided.
With continued reference to fig. 4, further optionally, the second clock signal terminal OUT is used for providing the disable level of the second clock signal during the charging phase T1, the reset phase T3 and the pause phase T4, and providing the enable level of the second clock signal during the signal output phase T2; the scan control terminal (e.g., the forward scan control terminal U2D) is further used for providing an enable level of the scan control signal during the signal output period T2; the signal input terminal (e.g., the positive scan signal input terminal INF) is further used for providing a non-enable level of the input signal during the signal output stage T2; the signal output phase T2 is between the charging phase T1 and the reset phase T3.
In the charging phase T1, the first node control module 10 charges the first node N1, and the first node N1 is maintained at the enable level for a period of time after the charging phase is ended, so that the first node N1 has a relatively stable potential; at this time, the signal output stage T2 can be entered, and the second clock signal terminal OUT provides the enable level of the second clock signal, which is output by the output module 30, so as to ensure that the enable level of the scan signal output by the output module 30 to the scan signal output terminal GOUT is more stable. In addition, in the signal output stage T2, the scan control terminal (e.g., the forward scan control terminal U2D) provides the enable level of the scan control signal, so that the potentials at the two ends of the first node control module 10 are relatively balanced, thereby preventing the first node control module 10 (e.g., the first transistor M1) from leaking to affect the potential of the first node N1, and ensuring the driving capability of the shift register.
In the driving sequence shown in fig. 4, the positions of the intermittent stages in the driving period of the shift register are only illustrative and not limiting. Exemplarily, fig. 5 is a driving timing diagram of another shift register provided by the embodiment of the invention, referring to fig. 5, and optionally, the intermittent phase includes a first intermittent phase T41, a second intermittent phase T42, and a third intermittent phase T43; the first intermittent phase T41 is located between the charging phase T1 and the signal output phase T2; the second intermittent phase T42 is located between the signal output phase T2 and the reset phase T3; the third intermittent phase T43 is located after the reset phase T3, or the third intermittent phase T43 is located before the charging phase T1.
Fig. 5 illustrates the third intermittent phase T43 after the reset phase T3. As shown in fig. 5, during the driving period of the shift register, the positive direction scan control terminal U2D provides the disable level during the first intermittent period T41, the second intermittent period T42 and the third intermittent period T43, so that the duration of the negative bias of the first node control module 10 can be further shortened, and the first node control module 10 is alternately in the negative bias state (such as the signal output period T2 and the reset period T3) for a shorter time and in the non-bias state (such as the intermittent periods T41, T42 and T43) for a shorter time, thereby ensuring that the first node control module 10 in the shift register can be normally turned on in the subsequent charging period.

For example, fig. 7 illustrates that the thin film transistors in the shift register are all N-type transistors. Fig. 8 is a driving timing diagram of the shift register during forward scanning according to an embodiment of the present invention, and with reference to fig. 7 and 8, the operation process of the shift register is as follows:
in the charging period T1, the forward scan signal input terminal INF inputs a high level, the first transistor M1 and the third transistor M3 are turned on, so that the high level input from the forward scan control terminal U2D charges the first node N1 through the first transistor M1, thereby pulling up the potential of the first node N1, and the low level input from the reverse scan control terminal D2U is transmitted to the second node N2 through the third transistor M3, thereby lowering the potential of the second node N2. In addition, since the potential of the first node N1 rises, the ninth transistor M9 and the tenth transistor M10 are turned on, so that the second clock signal of the second clock signal terminal OUT is transmitted to the scan signal output terminal GOUT through the tenth transistor M10, and the second clock signal may be at a low level; the low level of the second reference signal end VGL input is transmitted to the second node N2 through the ninth transistor M9, the potential of the second node N2 is also pulled down, so that the potential of the second node N2 is controlled doubly through the node mutual control module 40 and the pull-down module 50, and it is ensured that the potential of the second node N2 is low level in the charging stage, so that it is ensured that the second reference signal of the second reference signal end VGL does not affect the potential of the first node N1, and the driving capability of the shift register is ensured.
In the first intermittent period T41, the forward direction scan signal input terminal INF inputs a low level, and the forward direction scan control terminal U2D inputs a low level, so that the first transistor M1 is in a non-biased state.
In the signal output stage T2, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high level, so that the tenth transistor M10 is turned on, the high level signal inputted from the second clock signal terminal OUT is transmitted to the scan signal output terminal GOUT through the tenth transistor M10, and the shift register provides the scan signal to the corresponding gate line. At this stage, since the positive direction scan signal input terminal INF is at a low level and the positive direction scan control terminal U2D is at a high level, the first transistor M1 is in a negative bias state.
In the second intermittent period T42, the forward direction scan signal input terminal INF inputs a low level, and the forward direction scan control terminal U2D inputs a low level, so that the first transistor M1 is in a non-biased state.
In the reset period T3, the forward scan control terminal U2D inputs a high level, the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, and the first forward scan clock signal terminal RSTF inputs a high level, so that the seventh transistor M7 is turned on, the high level input by the first reference signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the second node N2, and the potential of the second node N2 is pulled up. Since the second node N2 is at a high level, the eighth transistor M8 and the eleventh transistor M11 are turned on, the low level of the second reference signal terminal VGL is transmitted to the first node N1, the potential of the first node N1 is pulled down, so that the tenth transistor M10 is turned off, the second clock signal of the second clock signal terminal OUT is not transmitted to the scan signal output terminal GOUT, and since the eleventh transistor M11 is turned on, the low level signal of the second reference signal terminal VGL is transmitted to the scan signal output terminal GOUT, so as to reset the signal on the gate line. At this stage, since the positive direction scan signal input terminal INF is at a low level and the positive direction scan control terminal U2D is at a high level, the first transistor M1 is in a negative bias state.
In the third intermittent period T43, the forward direction scan signal input terminal INF inputs a low level, and the forward direction scan control terminal U2D inputs a low level, so that the first transistor M1 is in a non-biased state.
Therefore, after the charging stage T1 is finished, the first transistor M1 is alternately in the non-biased state and the negative biased state, and in the working process of the next stage shift register, the first transistor M1 of the stage shift register is also alternately in the non-biased state and the negative biased state until the stage shift register enters the next charging stage, so that the situation that the first transistor M1 is in the negative biased state for a long time to cause conduction abnormality can be avoided, the charging capability of the first node N1 is ensured, and the driving capability of the shift register is further ensured.

Since the output module 30 is electrically connected to the scanning signal output terminal GOUT, and the scanning signal output terminal GOUT is electrically connected to the gate line in the display area, if the potential of the scanning signal output terminal GOUT is suddenly increased due to static electricity or other reasons, the potential is conducted to the first node through the first capacitor, and then flows back to the driving chip through the first node control module 10, thereby damaging the driving chip. In the embodiment of the invention, the voltage stabilization protection module 60 is arranged between the first node N1a and the first second node N1b, so that the voltage stabilization protection module 60 is electrically connected with the first reference signal terminal VGH, and thus, when the potential of the first second node N1b suddenly rises due to static electricity and the like, the voltage stabilization protection module 60 can be controlled to be closed, so that the potential of the first node N1a is smaller than or equal to a preset voltage value, and the high potential is prevented from flowing back to the driving chip. In addition, when the potential of the scanning signal output terminal GOUT is not abnormal, the voltage stabilization protection module 60 can be continuously turned on under the control of the first reference signal terminal VGH, and the normal operation of the shift register is not affected.
