Description

Level conversion chip and display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a level conversion chip and a display device.
Background
When the display panel of the current display device is driven by the GOA method (the gate driving circuit is built on the panel, and a separate gate driving chip is not needed), the display device must be configured with a level conversion chip.
In practical applications, the level shift chip generates a scanning signal (hereinafter referred to as a low-frequency clock) required by the display panel in a two-in and multiple-out manner, that is, 2M low-frequency clock signals are generated and output according to two input high-frequency clock signals, the 2M low-frequency clock signals are respectively input into a corresponding number of clock signal lines, and 2N GOA units are connected to the clock signal lines.
However, when the pulse signal of the high frequency clock is lost, the duration of the high level signal of some low frequency clocks is too long, and further, some GOA units generate large current, which results in the damage of the device.
Specifically, this technical problem will be described in detail by taking an example in which 2M is 4 (i.e., M is 2). As shown in fig. 1, the timing control chip 10 provides 2 high frequency clocks CK1 and CK2 to the level shift chip 20, CK2 lags behind CK1 by 1.5 periods T, the level shift chip 20 outputs 4 low frequency clocks CLKOUT1, CLKOUT2, CLKOUT3, CLKOUT4 according to the high frequency clocks CK1 and CK2, and inputs them to the display panel 30 through clock signal lines L1 to L4, respectively, the cascade-connected GOA units 31(N, etc. in fig. 1) in the display panel 30 are connected to the clock signal lines L1 to L4 step by step in the manner shown in fig. 1, and output gate scan signals g (N) based on the high level and the low level of the low frequency clocks, specifically, outputs the high level when the corresponding low frequency clock is the high level, and outputs the low level when the corresponding low frequency clock is the low level.
The principle that the level shift chip 20 outputs 4 low frequency clocks CLKOUT1, CLKOUT2, CLKOUT3 and CLKOUT4 according to the high frequency clocks CK1 and CK2 is shown in fig. 2, wherein a rising edge of the high frequency clock signal CK1 will sequentially trigger rising edges of the low frequency clocks CLKOUT1, CLKOUT2, CLKOUT3 and CLKOUT4, and a falling edge of the high frequency clock signal CK2 will sequentially trigger falling edges of the low frequency clocks CLKOUT1, CLKOUT2, CLKOUT3 and CLKOUT 4.
In the actual working process, the absence of part of pulse signals of the high-frequency clock signal CK can cause the high level duration of some CLKOUT to be overlong, so that the associated CLKOUT has high level coincidence; as shown in fig. 3, the high frequency clock CK2 misses one pulse signal, resulting in CLKOUT1 and CLKOUT3 being high simultaneously for a period t.
The current GOA unit can adopt the circuit diagram shown in fig. 4, the output G (N) of the GOA unit 31(N) is subject to the clock signals of the output G (N-2) of the GOA unit 31(N-2), the output G (N +2) of the GOA unit 31(N +2), and the connected clock signal line L3, since the GOA unit 31(N-2) and the GOA unit 31(N +2) are both connected to the clock signal line L1, the present application refers to the clock signal line L1 and the clock signal line L3 as symmetric clock signal lines, and the corresponding clock channels of the clock signal line L1 and the clock signal line L3 as symmetric clock channels.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, CLKOUT1 and CLKOUT3 are both at a high level during the T period, CLKOUT1 controls the output of both the GOA unit 31(N-2) and the GOA unit 31(N +2) to be high through the clock signal line L1, so that the transistors T21 and T31 are turned on, and since CLKOUT3 is also at a high level at this time, that is, the CK signal of the GOA unit 31(N) is at a high level, which is equivalent to the CK directly short-circuiting to the ground (Vss signal in fig. 4), a large current may be generated, and the device chip may be damaged.
Therefore, the current level shift chip has a technical problem that the duration of a high-level signal of a low-frequency clock generated due to the loss of a high-frequency clock pulse signal is too long, and needs to be solved.

The embodiment of the invention can solve the technical problem that the current level conversion chip has large current caused by loss of high-frequency clock signal pulse signals.
As shown in fig. 5, an embodiment of the present invention provides a level shift chip, where the level shift chip 20 includes:
at least two clock input channels 201 for inputting a high frequency clock CK;
2M clock output channels 202 (including the clock output channel 202-1 to the clock output channel 202-2M in fig. 5) for respectively outputting 1 low frequency clock CLKOUT (CLKOUT 1-L to CLKOUT2M-L output from the output terminal b-1 to the output terminal b-2M in fig. 5); the ith clock output channel and the M + i clock output channel are symmetric clock channels, M is a positive integer greater than 1, and i belongs to 1-M; each clock output channel 202 includes an input terminal a (i.e., input terminal a-1 through input terminal a-2M in fig. 5) and an output terminal b (i.e., output terminal b-1 through output terminal b-2M in fig. 5);
the chip body 203 is configured to input corresponding low-frequency clocks to the 2M clock output channels through input ends a (i.e., input ends a-1 to a-2M in fig. 5) according to the high-frequency clocks; the clock signal control method is specifically used for sequentially triggering rising edges of low-frequency clocks CLKOUT1-F, CLKOUTi-F, CLKOUTN-F, CLKOUT2M-F and the like to be output based on rising edges of a high-frequency clock signal CK1, and sequentially triggering falling edges of low-frequency clocks CLKOUT1-F, CLKOUTi-F, CLKOUTN-F, CLKOUT2M-F and the like to be output based on falling edges of a high-frequency clock signal CK 2;
wherein, at least the M1 th clock output channel (i.e. any one of 1 to 2M in FIG. 5, M is greater than or equal to 2) is provided with a detection circuit 204, the detection circuit 204 is used for controlling the output low frequency clock of the M1 th clock output channel according to the level signal of the input low frequency clock of the M1 th clock output channel (the level signals of CLKOUT1-F to CLKOUT2M-F input to the input ends a-1 to a-2M in FIG. 5) and the level signal of the output low frequency clock of the M2 th clock output channel (the level signals of CLKOUT1-L to CLKOUT2M-L output from the output ends b-1 to b-2M in FIG. 5), so that the level signal of the output low frequency clock of the m1 th clock output channel and the level signal of the output low frequency clock of the m2 th clock output channel are not both high at the same time.
In FIG. 5, the same numbers indicate electrical connections, such as the input b-M +1 of the circuit 204 in the clock channel 202-1 and the output b-M +1 of the circuit 204 in the clock channel 202-M +1, which are similar to each other.
In the embodiment of the present application, the manner of adjusting the low-frequency clock signal may control the output of one or two channels of the symmetric clock channels, for example, the symmetric clock channels 202-i and 202-M + i may only control the output of the clock channel 202-i, may only control the output of the clock channel 202-M + i, and may also simultaneously control the outputs of the clock channels 202-i and 202-M + i, which is described below by taking only the output of the clock channel 202-i as an example, and the rest is similar to the above and is not repeated.
Wherein the M1 and M2 belong to 1-2M, and the M1 clock output channel and the M2 clock output channel are symmetric clock channels; for example, in the GOA layout circuit shown in fig. 1 and 5, when M1 is i, M2 is M + i, and when M1 is M + i, M2 is i, i belonging to 1 to M; of course, in other GOA layout circuits, other symmetrical schemes are possible, and only the specific analysis of the GOA circuit shown in fig. 4 is needed.
In one embodiment, the detection circuit may be disposed only in a clock output channel where a large current is likely to occur, for example, only in a clock output channel corresponding to the clock signal line L3 in fig. 1, so as to reduce chip manufacturing cost.
In an embodiment, the detection circuits are arranged in all the clock output channels, so that the detection control can be performed on the clocks output by all the clock output channels, the large current caused by the loss of the pulse signals of the high-frequency clock in any scene can be avoided, and the effect is better.
In the level shift chip provided in this embodiment, the detection circuit 204 is arranged in the clock output channel 202, and the detection circuit 204 is utilized to control the output low-frequency clock of the clock output channel according to the level signal of the input low-frequency clock of the clock output channel and the level signal of the output low-frequency clock of the symmetric clock output channel, so that the level signal of the output low-frequency clock of the clock output channel and the level signal of the output low-frequency clock of the symmetric clock output channel are not both high at the same time; the technical problem that the high-level signal duration of a low-frequency clock is too long when a high-frequency clock pulse signal is lost by a time sequence control chip is solved, and equipment damage caused by large current and the like is avoided.
In one embodiment, the detection circuit is configured to control the level signal of the output low frequency clock of the m 1-th clock output channel not to be high when the level signal of the input low frequency clock of the m 1-th clock output channel is high and the level signal of the output low frequency clock of the m 2-th clock output channel is high. The level signal is not high, and various implementations are possible, for example, the following modes, such as the mode that the level signal is low, an error signal, and no electric signal is output, and the like, as long as the modes can realize that the output clocks of the symmetric clock channels are not all high at the same time.
In one embodiment, the detection circuit is configured to control the level signal of the output low frequency clock of the m 1-th clock output channel to be low when the level signal of the input low frequency clock of the m 1-th clock output channel is high and the level signal of the output low frequency clock of the m 2-th clock output channel is high.
For example, as shown in fig. 7, when M is 2, the pulse signal at the same position as the high frequency clock in fig. 3 is missing, and the output low frequency clock of the 3 rd clock output channel is forcibly adjusted to the low level (i.e., VSS) during the t period; at this time, in the circuit shown in fig. 4, the gate voltages of the transistors T11, T31, and T41 are low, the transistors T11, T31, and T41 are off, the CLKOUT1 is disconnected from Vss, and no large current is generated, the transistor T21 is turned on based on the voltage of the capacitor C, the output g (N) of the GOA cell 31(N) is at a high potential corresponding to the CLKOUT1, the corresponding pixel circuit is turned on, and the display device operates normally.
In the level shift chip of the present invention, the detection circuit is configured to control the output terminal of the m 1-th clock output channel to stop outputting the clock until the next clock cycle (i.e., the period T of the low frequency clock) when the level signal of the input low frequency clock of the m 1-th clock output channel is high and the level signal of the output low frequency clock of the m 2-th clock output channel is high.
For example, as shown in fig. 8, when M is 2, the pulse signal at the same position as the high frequency clock in fig. 3 is missing, and the 3 rd clock output channel stops outputting the low frequency clock in the t period; at this time, in the circuit shown in fig. 4, the gates of the transistors T11, T31, and T41 are not charged, the transistors T11, T31, and T41 are turned off, the CLKOUT1 is disconnected from Vss, and no large current is generated, the transistor T21 is turned on based on the voltage of the capacitor C, the output g (N) of the GOA cell 31(N) is at a high potential corresponding to the CLKOUT1, the corresponding pixel circuit is turned on, and the display device operates normally.
In the level shift chip of the present invention, the detection circuit is configured to control the output terminal of the m 1-th clock output channel to output an error signal until a next clock cycle (i.e., a period T of the low frequency clock) when the level signal of the input low frequency clock of the m 1-th clock output channel is high and the level signal of the output low frequency clock of the m 2-th clock output channel is high.
For example, as shown in fig. 9, when M is 2, the pulse signal at the same position as the high frequency clock in fig. 3 is missing, and during the period t, the 3 rd clock output channel outputs an error signal (generally, a voltage of 0V or less); at this time, in the circuit shown in fig. 4, the gates of the transistors T11, T31, and T41 are smaller than 0, the transistors T11, T31, and T41 are turned off, the CLKOUT1 is disconnected from Vss, and no large current is generated, the transistor T21 is turned on based on the voltage of the capacitor C, the output g (N) of the GOA cell 31(N) is at a high potential corresponding to the CLKOUT1, the corresponding pixel circuit is turned on, and the display device operates normally.
In the level shift chip of the present invention, the detection circuit is further configured to control the output terminal of the m1 th clock output channel to stop outputting the error signal when the reset signal is detected. For example, the reset signal may be periodically generated by the chip body, and the detection circuit controls the output terminal of the m1 th clock output channel to stop outputting the error signal and normally output the low frequency clock when detecting the reset signal.
In one embodiment, the detection circuit is disposed in all clock output channels.
As shown in fig. 6, in one embodiment, for the ith clock output channel, the symmetric clock output channel is the clock output channel M + i, and the detection circuit 204 in the ith clock output channel includes an inverter 61 and a first multiplier 62; wherein:
the input end of the inverter 61 is electrically connected to the output end b-M + i of the M + i-th clock output channel, and the output end of the inverter 61 is electrically connected to the first input end of the first multiplier 62;
the second input terminal of the first multiplier 62 is electrically connected to the input terminals a-i of the ith clock output channel, and the output terminal of the first multiplier 62 is electrically connected to the output terminals b-i of the ith clock output channel.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the detection circuit 204 further includes a second multiplier 63; wherein:
the first input end of the second multiplier 63 is electrically connected to the input end a-i of the ith clock output channel, the second input end is electrically connected to the output end b-M + i of the M + i clock output channel, and the output end is electrically connected to the output end b-i of the ith clock output channel.
The operation of the circuit of fig. 6 will now be explained:
when the high-frequency clock CK has no pulse missing, the waveform generated by the chip body is as shown in FIG. 2, the high and low levels of the low-frequency clock CLKI-F and the low-frequency clock CLKI + i-F are opposite, the detection result of the detection circuit 204 is that the low-frequency clock output by the symmetric clock channel is not high at the same time, the output potential of the output end b-i of the ith clock output channel is not controlled, the waveforms of the low-frequency clock CLKI-F and the low-frequency clock CLKI-L are the same, and the waveforms of the low-frequency clock CLKI + i-F and the low-frequency clock CLKI + i-L are the same;
when the high-frequency clock CK has a pulse missing, the waveform generated by the chip body is as shown in fig. 3, the low-frequency clock CLKOUTi-F and the low-frequency clock CLKOUTM + i-F are both high in the time period t, the detection result of the detection circuit 204 is that the low-frequency clock output by the symmetric clock channel is simultaneously high, the output potential of the output terminal b-i (for example, CLKOUT3 in fig. 7) of the ith clock output channel is controlled, the waveforms of the low-frequency clock CLKOUTi-F and the low-frequency clock CLKOUTi-L are different, and the waveforms of the low-frequency clock CLKOUTM + i-F and the low-frequency clock out M + i-L are the same.
