In addition to gate driving signals for driving pixels to perform data writing, the self-luminous display further includes light emission driving signals for driving the pixels to emit light. In order to suppress the image sticking, the enabling period of the gate driving signal and the enabling period of the light-emitting driving signal are not overlapped, and the gate driving signal and the light-emitting driving signal may be enabled alternately in one frame period, wherein the light-emitting driving signal may be provided line by line, or the whole panel may share a plurality of light-emitting driving signals. In this case, the entire luminance of the display panel cannot be finely adjusted.

Fig. 1 is a system diagram of a gate driving circuit according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the gate driving circuit 100 includes a plurality of driving output stages 110_1 to 110_ n, and the driving output stages 110_1 to 110_ n respectively include a serial start block 111, a serial driving block 112, a pulse driving block 113, a conduction control block 114, and a voltage conduction block 115, where n is a positive integer greater than 2.
The serial enable block 111 receives a light-emitting start signal (e.g., EM _ STV or light-emitting serial signals EM _ S [1] -EM _ S [ n ] provided by the driving output stages 110_ 1-110 _ n of the previous stage) and a first clock signal (e.g., CLK _ EM _ A and CLK _ EM _ B) of a plurality of clock signals (e.g., CLK _ EM _ A and CLK _ EM _ B) to provide the internal control voltage VQ. The serial driving block 112 is coupled to the serial enable block 111 and receives the first system voltage VGL, the internal control voltage VQ and a second clock signal (e.g., CLK _ EM _ A and CLK _ EM _ B) of the plurality of clock signals (e.g., CLK _ EM _ A and CLK _ EM _ B) to provide a light emitting serial signal (e.g., EM _ S [1] EM _ S [ n ]).
The PWM block 113 receives a first system voltage VGL, a light-emitting sequence signal (e.g., EM _ S1-EM _ S n), and a first PWM signal (e.g., PWM _ EM _ A1, PWM _ EM _ A2, PWM _ EM _ B1, and PWM _ EM _ B2) of a plurality of PWM signals (e.g., PWM _ EM _ A1, PWM _ EM _ A2, PWM _ EM _ B1, and PWM _ EM _ B2) to provide a light-emitting output signal (e.g., EM _ OUT 1-EM _ OUT n) to at least one self-emitting pixel circuit (e.g., one of an OLED pixel, a QED pixel, and a micro-LED pixel), wherein the self-emitting pixel circuit may include a red pixel circuit PXR, a green pixel circuit PXG, a blue pixel circuit PXB as shown in FIGS. 4A-4C, or a pixel circuit PXL, PXL 1, PWM signals (e.g., PWM _ EM _ A1, PWM _ EM _ A2, PWM _ EM _ B1, PWM _ M, The frequency of PWM _ EM _ A2, PWM _ EM _ B1, and PWM _ EM _ B2) is less than the frequency of the clock signals (e.g., CLK _ EM _ A and CLK _ EM _ B), and the pulse width of the pulse width modulated signals (e.g., PWM _ EM _ A1, PWM _ EM _ A2, PWM _ EM _ B1, and PWM _ EM _ B2) is variable. Therefore, the luminous uniformity of the display panel can be improved by adjusting the pulse width of the pulse width modulation signal.
The conduction control block 114 is coupled to the serial enable block 111 and receives the first system voltage VGL, the light-emitting start signal (e.g., EM _ STV or the light-emitting serial signals EM _ S [1] -EM _ S [ n ] provided by the previous driving output stages 110_ 1-110 _ n), the internal control voltage VQ and the first clock signal (e.g., CLK _ EM _ A and CLK _ EM _ B) to provide the conduction control signal SCC.
The voltage conducting block 115 is coupled to the serial enable block 111, the serial drive block 112, the pulse drive block 113 and the conduction control block 114, and receives the conduction control signal SCC to conduct the internal control voltage VQ, the light emitting serial signals (e.g., EM _ S1-EM _ S n) and the light emitting output signals (e.g., EM _ OUT 1-EM _ OUT n) to the second system voltage VGH in response to the conduction control signal SCC. The second system voltage VGH is different from the first system voltage VGL, for example, the second system voltage VGH may be higher than the first system voltage VGL.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the light emission start signal EM _ STV received by the driving output stage 110_1 may be provided by a control circuit (e.g., a timing controller) external to the gate driving circuit 100.
Fig. 2 is a driving waveform diagram of a gate driving circuit according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the enable levels (e.g., low voltage levels) of the clock signals CLK _ EM _ a and CLK _ EM _ B do not overlap with each other on a time axis, and the enable levels (e.g., low voltage levels) of the PWM signals PWM _ EM _ a1, PWM _ EM _ a2, PWM _ EM _ B1, and PWM _ EM _ B2 do not overlap with each other on the time axis.
Pulse widths of the PWM signals PWM _ EM _ a1, PWM _ EM _ a2, PWM _ EM _ B1 and PWM _ EM _ B2 are less than or equal to pulse widths of the clock signals CLK _ EM _ a and CLK _ EM _ B, enabling periods of the PWM signals PWM _ EM _ a1 and PWM _ EM _ a2 overlap with enabling periods of the clock signal CLK _ EM _ a, and enabling periods of the PWM signals PWM _ EM _ B1 and PWM _ EM _ B2 overlap with enabling periods of the clock signal CLK _ EM _ B. Falling edges of the PWM signals PWM _ EM _ a1 and PWM _ EM _ a2 may be respectively aligned with falling edges of the clock signal CLK _ EM _ a, and falling edges of the PWM signals PWM _ EM _ B1 and PWM _ EM _ B2 may be respectively aligned with falling edges of the clock signal CLK _ EM _ B.
Taking the driving output stage 110_1 as an example, when the emission start signal EM _ STV is at a high voltage level and the clock signal CLK _ EM _ a is enabled, the internal control voltage VQ is set to a high voltage level (regarded as an enable level), and the turn-on control signal SCC is set to a low voltage level (regarded as an enable level). The serial driving block 112 is turned off to provide the high-level emission serial signal EM _ S [1] by the disabled internal control voltage VQ and the enabled conduction control signal SCC, and the pulse driving block 113 is also turned off to provide the high-level emission output signal EM _ OUT [1 ].
When the emission start signal EM _ STV is at the low voltage level and the clock signal CLK _ EM _ a is enabled, the internal control voltage VQ is set to the low voltage level (regarded as the enabled level), and the turn-on control signal SCC is set to the high voltage level (regarded as the disabled level). The serial driving block 112 is enabled by the enabled internal control voltage VQ and the disabled on control signal SCC to provide the light-emitting serial signal EM _ S [1] with a low voltage level, and the pulse driving block 113 is also enabled to provide the pulse width modulation signal PWM _ EM _ B1 as the light-emitting output signal EM _ OUT [1] based on the clock signal CLK _ EM _ B.
During the period when the light emission sequence signal EM _ S [1] is at the high voltage level, the pixel circuit is turned on but not lighted, so that writing of pixel data can be performed. In the embodiment of the invention, the luminance of the pixel circuit is inversely proportional to the time length P of the period of the pulse width modulation signal PWM _ EM _ B1. Furthermore, the luminance of the pixel circuit is proportional to the pulse width t of the PWM signal PWM _ EM _ B1.
In the embodiment of the invention, the number of clock signals (e.g., CLK _ EM _ a and CLK _ EM _ B) and the number of PWM signals (e.g., PWM _ EM _ a1, PWM _ EM _ a2, PWM _ EM _ B1, and PWM _ EM _ B2) are illustrated as examples, and the number of PWM signals (e.g., CLK _ EM _ a and CLK _ EM _ B) is an integer multiple of the number of clock signals (e.g., PWM _ EM _ a1, PWM _ EM _ a2, PWM _ EM _ B1, and PWM _ EM _ B2).
