The invention provides a GOA circuit, a display panel and a display device, and particularly refers to fig. 1 to 6.
The existing bootstrap circuit is easy to generate electric leakage due to the reasons of electric connection mode, structural design and the like, so that the voltage is reduced, and the problem of abnormal display is caused. For example, the existing bootstrap circuit generally includes two cases, one case is that a bootstrap capacitor is disposed between an input module and a voltage regulator tube of the bootstrap module, so that one end of the bootstrap capacitor is connected to an input end of the voltage regulator tube, and the other end of the bootstrap capacitor is connected to a second voltage end VGL, and the design mode of the bootstrap capacitor can reduce leakage current generated by threshold voltage drift of the voltage regulator tube, and increase voltage of the voltage regulator tube; in another case, one end of the bootstrap capacitor is electrically connected to the output end of the voltage regulator tube, and the other end of the bootstrap capacitor is electrically connected to the output signal of the GOA, in the same way as the above electrical connection, the bootstrap capacitor can enhance the power storage capability at the output end of the voltage regulator tube, and reduce the voltage reduction during touch scanning leakage, and meanwhile, when the clock signal of the output transistor corresponding to the current stage is turned on, the bootstrap capacitor serves as a bootstrap device to enhance the bootstrap capability at the output end of the voltage regulator tube. In the two driving circuit designs, assuming that a touch scanning time period is entered after the nth-level pixel data display scanning is finished, touch scanning is started, when the nth-level GOA is output to a high level, the levels at the input end of the voltage regulator tube and the output end of the voltage regulator tube in the (n + 1) th-level GOA unit Gn +1 are also pulled high, however, during the touch scanning, the bootstrap capacitor electrically connected with one end of the first-level voltage regulator tube leaks electricity through the input end and the output end connected with the bootstrap capacitor, so that the voltage is reduced, after the touch scanning is finished, when the clock signal corresponding to the level outputs a high level, because the voltage at the output end of the voltage regulator tube (namely the control end of the output transistor) is insufficient, the starting voltage of the transistor of the upper level is insufficient, the output end of the voltage regulator tube cannot be bootstrapped to a high potential, and the voltage Vgs of the grid electrode in the voltage regulator, at this moment, the voltage regulator tube does not work, the output end of the voltage regulator tube leaks electricity to the input end of the voltage regulator tube, the voltage at the output end of the voltage regulator tube is not bootstrapped to a high potential, finally, the output voltage of the previous stage of the GOA unit is lower, and even pixel transistors in a corresponding row cannot be started, so that abnormal display is caused. Therefore, the present invention provides a GOA circuit, a driving method thereof, a display panel, and a display device to solve the above problems.
The display panel comprises a display area and a non-display area, and the display panel comprises a pixel driving circuit positioned in the display area and a GOA circuit positioned in the non-display area;

In an embodiment, the GOA circuit in the non-display area of the display panel is a single-stage driving circuit, refer to fig. 1; in another embodiment, the GOA circuit in the non-display area of the display panel is a dual-stage driving circuit, see fig. 2.

In this structure, the GOA circuits in the non-display region in the display panel are dual-stage driving circuits, that is, the gate driving circuits are simultaneously disposed on two sides of the display panel, and the GOA circuits are respectively provided to the display panel from the left and right sides.

The present application further provides a driving method of a GOA circuit, configured to drive the GOA driving circuit in the display panel, where the GOA circuit includes: a cascaded multi-stage sub-circuit, an Nth stage sub-circuit of the multi-stage sub-circuit comprising: the system comprises a bootstrap module 400, a shutdown module 600, a scan control module 100, an output module 500, a pull-down control module 200 and a pull-down module 300; the bootstrap module 400 includes: a bootstrap capacitor C1, wherein one end of the bootstrap capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the nth stage gate driving signal, and the other end of the bootstrap capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the first node; the driving method of the GOA circuit comprises the following steps:
the bootstrap module receives an Nth-stage gate drive signal;
the bootstrap capacitor charges, and the voltage of the first node rises accordingly.
Specifically, at S10, after the bootstrap module 400 receives the first driving signal outputted by the scan control module 100 and the first voltage end is turned on, the first node q (N) becomes high, the first capacitor C1 starts to charge and the output module 500 is turned on, so that the output end of the output module 500 writes the nth stage clock signal ck (N);
s20, after the pull-down control module 200 receives the second driving signal output by the scan control module 100, the pull-down control module 200 controls the pull-down module 300 to operate, and the bootstrap module 400 turns to a low potential;
s30, after the shutdown module 600 receives the shutdown control signal, the shutdown module 600 is turned on, and the nth-stage gate driving signal changes to a low potential;
s40, after the bootstrap module 400 receives the low-potential signal outputted by the nth stage gate driving signal, the first capacitor C1 discharges to maintain the voltage of the first node q (N);
s50, when the nth gate driving signal outputs a high level signal, and the bootstrap module 400 receives the high level signal output by the nth gate driving signal, the first capacitor C1 starts to charge, and the voltage of the first node q (N) increases accordingly.
Referring to fig. 4, in the bootstrap module 400, an electrical connection point between the bootstrap capacitor C1 and the seventh transistor NT7 is a point q (n), an electrical connection point between the seventh transistor NT7 and the output module 500 is a point qa (n), and a change of the bootstrap voltage of the bootstrap capacitor C1 can be obtained by detecting potentials of the point q (n) and the point qa (n).
The touch scanning may occur after any one clock signal period is finished, and the touch scanning is started assuming that a touch scanning time period is entered after the nth row of pixel data is displayed.
When the GOA output of the nth row is high, the Q (N +2) point and the Qa (N +2) level in the Gate (N +2) of the GOA unit of the nth +2 stage are pulled high, and also during the touch scan period, the Q (N +2) point in the Gate (N +2) stage leaks through the input terminal and the output terminal of the transistor connected thereto, so that the voltage is reduced.
After the touch scanning is finished, when the nth level clock signal ck (N) outputs a high level, the voltage of the point Q (N +2) is bootstrapped to a high level higher than VGH by the bootstrap capacitor C1, which not only can compensate for a voltage drop caused by the leakage, but also avoid the leakage to the point Q (N +2) when the point Qa (N +2) is bootstrapped, and even reversely charge the point Qa (N +2), thereby improving the bootstrap capability of the ninth transistor NT9, and at the same time, the point Qa is bootstrapped to a high level by the parasitic capacitor of the ninth transistor NT9 in the output module 500, and finally, the Gate (N +2) of the GOA unit can be completely output.
