Illustratively, the substrate 200 may be a rigid substrate. The rigid substrate may be, for example, a glass substrate or a PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate) substrate.
Illustratively, the substrate 200 may be a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate may be, for example, a PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) substrate, a PEN (Polyethylene naphthalate) substrate, a PI (Polyimide) substrate, or the like. In this case, the display panel 1000 may be a flexible display panel.
Here, the scanning driving circuit 100 may be, for example, a light emission control circuit or a gate driving circuit. In the disclosure, the scan driving circuit 100 is taken as a gate driving circuit for illustration.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the display panel 1000 may further include: and a plurality of sub-pixels P disposed at one side of the substrate 200 and positioned at the display area a. The plurality of sub-pixels P may be arranged in a plurality of rows in the first direction X and a plurality of columns in the second direction Y, for example. Each row of the sub-pixels P may include a plurality of sub-pixels P, and each column of the sub-pixels P may include a plurality of sub-pixels P.
Here, the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect each other. The included angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y can be set according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the included angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y may be 85 °, 89 °, or 90 °, and the like.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the display panel 1000 may further include: a plurality of gate lines GL and a plurality of data lines DL disposed at one side of the substrate 200 and positioned in the display area a. The gate lines GL extend along a first direction X, and the data lines DL extend along a second direction Y.
For example, the sub-pixels P arranged in a row along the first direction X may be referred to as the same row sub-pixels P, and the sub-pixels P arranged in a column along the second direction Y may be referred to as the same column sub-pixels P. The same row of subpixels P may be electrically connected to one gate line GL, and the same column of subpixels P may be electrically connected to one data line DL.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, each of the plurality of sub-pixels P may include a pixel driving circuit and a light emitting device electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit. The light emitting device may be an OLED.
For example, one gate line GL may be electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of sub-pixels P, and one data line DL may be electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same column of sub-pixels P.
The pixel driving circuit has various structures, and can be selectively arranged according to actual needs. For example, the structure of the pixel driving circuit may include a structure of "2T 1C", "3T 1C", "6T 1C", "7T 1C", "6T 2C", or "7T 2C". Where "T" represents a transistor, the number preceding "T" represents the number of transistors, "C" represents a storage capacitor, and the number preceding "C" represents the number of storage capacitors.
Here, during the use of the display panel 1000, the stability of the transistors and the light emitting devices in the pixel driving circuit may be reduced (e.g. the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is shifted), which may affect the display effect of the display panel 1000, and thus the sub-pixel P needs to be compensated.
The compensation method for the sub-pixel P can include various methods, and the arrangement can be selected according to actual needs. For example, a pixel compensation circuit may be provided in the sub-pixel P to internally compensate the sub-pixel P with the pixel compensation circuit. For another example, the driving transistor or the light emitting device may be sensed by a transistor inside the sub-pixel P, and the sensed data is transmitted to the external sensing circuit, so as to calculate a driving voltage value to be compensated by using the external sensing circuit and perform feedback, thereby implementing external compensation on the sub-pixel P.
The present disclosure schematically illustrates the structure and operation process of the sub-pixel P by taking the external compensation method (sensing the driving transistor) and the pixel driving circuit adopting the structure of "3T 1C" as an example.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, the pixel driving circuit may include: a switching transistor T1, a driving transistor T2, a sensing transistor T3, and a storage capacitor Cst.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the control electrode of the switching transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal G1, the first electrode of the switching transistor T1 is electrically connected to the Data signal terminal Data, and the second electrode of the switching transistor T1 is electrically connected to the second node G. Wherein the switching transistor T1 is configured to transmit the Data signal received at the Data signal terminal Data to the second node G in response to the first scan signal received at the first scan signal terminal G1.
Here, the data signal may include, for example, a detection data signal, a display data signal, and a black insertion data signal. Wherein the detection data signal is used in a blanking period, the display data signal is used in a display period, and the black insertion data signal is used in a black insertion writing phase. Regarding the black insertion writing phase, the display period, and the blank period, reference may be made to the following description in some embodiments, which is not repeated herein.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the control electrode of the driving transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second node G, the first electrode of the driving transistor T2 is electrically connected to the fourth voltage signal terminal ELVDD, and the second electrode of the driving transistor T2 is electrically connected to the third node S. Wherein the driving transistor T2 is configured to transmit the fourth voltage signal received at the fourth voltage signal terminal ELVDD to the third node S under the control of the voltage of the second node G.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, a first terminal of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the second node G, and a second terminal of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the third node S. Wherein the switching transistor T1 charges the storage capacitor Cst at the same time as the second node G is charged.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the anode of the light emitting device is electrically connected to the third node S, and the cathode of the light emitting device is electrically connected to the fifth voltage signal terminal ELVSS. The light emitting device is configured to emit light under the cooperation of the fourth voltage signal from the third node S and the fifth voltage signal transmitted from the fifth voltage signal terminal ELVSS.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the control electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second scan signal terminal G2, the first electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is electrically connected to the third node S, and the second electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is electrically connected to the sensing signal terminal Sense. Wherein the sensing transistor T3 is configured to detect an electrical characteristic of the driving transistor T2 in response to the second scan signal received at the second scan signal terminal G2 to achieve external compensation. The electrical characteristics include, for example, the threshold voltage and/or the carrier mobility of the driving transistor T2.
Here, the sensing signal terminal Sense may provide a reset signal for resetting the third node S or a sensing signal for sensing a threshold voltage of the driving transistor T2.
Based on the structure of the pixel driving circuit, as shown in fig. 2, a plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of sub-pixels P may be electrically connected to two gate lines GL (i.e., a first gate line and a second gate line). For example, each of the first scan signal terminals G1 may be electrically connected to a first gate line and receive a first scan signal transmitted by the first gate line; each of the second scan signal terminals G2 may be electrically connected to the second gate line and receive the second scan signal transmitted by the second gate line.
Note that one frame period may include, for example, a display period, a black insertion period, and a blanking period, which are performed in this order. In the display period, the sub shift register 10 may drive the corresponding sub pixel P for image display; in the black insertion period, the sub-shift register 10 may drive the corresponding sub-pixel P to display a black picture; in the blanking period, the sub-shift register 10 may drive the corresponding sub-pixel P for external compensation. Only the display period therein will be schematically described below.
In the display period, as shown in fig. 5, the operation process of the sub-pixel P may include, for example, a reset phase P1, a data write phase P2, and a light emission phase P3.
In the reset phase P1, the level of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal G2 is high, and the Sense signal terminal Sense provides a reset signal (the level of which is, for example, low). The sensing transistor T3 is turned on under the control of the second scan signal, receives a reset signal, and transmits the reset signal to the third node S, resetting the third node S.
In the Data writing phase P2, the level of the first scan signal provided by the first scan signal terminal G1 is at a high level, and the level of the display Data signal provided by the Data signal terminal Data is at a high level. The switching transistor T1 is turned on under the control of the first scan signal, receives the display data signal, and transmits the display data signal to the second node G while charging the storage capacitor Cst.
In the light emitting period P3, the level of the first scan signal provided by the first scan signal terminal G1 is at a low level, the level of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal G2 is at a low level, and the level of the fourth voltage signal provided by the fourth voltage signal terminal ELVDD is at a high level. The switching transistor T1 is turned off under the control of the first scan signal, and the sensing transistor T3 is turned off under the control of the second scan signal. The storage capacitor Cst starts discharging so that the voltage of the second node G is maintained at a high level. The driving transistor T2 is turned on under the control of the voltage of the second node G, receives the fourth voltage signal, and transmits the fourth voltage signal to the third node S, so that the light emitting device emits light under the cooperation of the fourth voltage signal and the fifth voltage signal transmitted from the fifth voltage signal terminal ELVSS.
In some embodiments, the scan driving circuit 100 and the plurality of sub-pixels P are located on the same side of the substrate 200. The scan driving circuit 100 may include a plurality of shift registers 1 cascaded, and one shift register 1 may be electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in at least one row of the sub-pixels P. Illustratively, one shift register 1 includes a plurality of sub-shift registers 10, and each sub-shift register 10 is electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in a row of sub-pixels P.
It should be noted that the first scan signal transmitted by the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal transmitted by the second scan signal terminal G2 are both provided by the scan driving circuit 100. That is, each sub-shift register 10 in the scan driving circuit 100 may be electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal G1 through a first gate line through which a first scan signal is transmitted to the first scan signal terminal G1, and electrically connected to the second scan signal terminal G2 through a second gate line through which a second scan signal is transmitted to the second scan signal terminal G2.
Of course, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of sub-pixels P may also be electrically connected to the same gate line GL. In this case, the first scan signal and the second scan signal are the same. In the scan driving circuit 100, each sub-shift register 10 is electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal terminal G2 through a corresponding gate line GL, and transmits signals to the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal terminal G2 through the gate line GL.
In the related art, during the display of the display panel 1000, an image smear phenomenon occurs during the process of switching the dynamic image, that is, when the display panel 1000 switches from one frame of image to another frame of image, the viewer may feel the image smear (also called dynamic image smear) of the previous frame, thereby affecting the image display effect.
Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a driving method of shift registers, as shown in fig. 7, each shift register 1 includes a plurality of sub shift registers 10. Each sub-shift register 10 electrically connects a plurality of pixel driving circuits in one row of sub-pixels P (see fig. 2 and 3), and in conjunction with fig. 18 and 22, each sub-shift register 10 corresponds to one row scanning period in one frame period, each row scanning period including a scanning phase P6 and a black insertion phase P7.
It should be noted that, the scanning phase P6 in one row scanning period corresponding to each sub shift register 10 corresponds to the reset phase P1 and the data writing phase P2 of the plurality of pixel driving circuits electrically connected to one row of sub pixels P; for the description of the reset phase P1 and the data write phase P2, reference is made to the above description, which is not repeated herein. The black insertion phase P7 in a row scanning period corresponding to each sub-shift register 10 corresponds to the black insertion writing phase P4 electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in a row of sub-pixels P, and the following description of the black insertion writing phase P4 can be referred to, which is not repeated herein.
In some embodiments, the plurality of line scan periods corresponding to the plurality of sub-shift registers 10 includes at least M line scan period groups, each line scan period group includes N line scan periods, and the timings of the scan phases P6 of the N line scan periods are the same; m is more than or equal to 1, N is more than or equal to 2, and M and N are integers. In this case, in the shift register 1, each group of the row scanning periods can save at least a reference time difference of times at which two scanning stages start in the case where N-1 adjacent two row scanning periods output scanning signals row by row. For example, each group of row scanning periods may save the duration of the data writing phase P2 for N-1 subpixels P. In this way, in one frame period, the M groups of row scanning periods in the shift register 1 can save at least the duration of the data writing phase P2 of the M × (N-1) sub-pixel P. Fig. 18 illustrates an example in which one row scanning period group 20 includes two row scanning periods, and fig. 22 illustrates an example in which two row scanning period groups 20 include two row scanning periods, respectively.
Wherein, the black insertion phase P7 of the row scanning period starts at a time after the scanning phase P6 of the last row scanning period of the plurality of row scanning periods, and the duration of each black insertion phase P7 is less than or equal to the reference time difference of the start times of two scanning phases P6 in the case that the scanning signals are output row by row in the adjacent two row scanning periods. For example, the duration of each black insertion phase P7 is less than or equal to the duration of the data writing phase P2 of the adjacent subpixel P. Further, the black insertion phase P7 of the plurality of row scanning periods includes M × (N-1) kinds of timings at most. That is, the black insertion phase P7 in the shift register 1 occupies at most the duration of the data writing phase P2 of the M × (N-1) subpixel P in one frame period.
As can be seen from the above description, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a driving method of a shift register, in one frame period, to make the timings of the scan phases P6 of at least two line scan periods the same, so as to save idle time, and perform black insertion by using the saved idle time. Therefore, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a driving method of a shift register, which can increase the Time of the black insertion phase P7, that is, insert a black Picture during the process of emitting light to perform normal image display of the sub-pixel P, on the basis of not compressing the Time of each scan phase P6, under the condition that the refresh frequency is constant, thereby increasing the MPRT (Motion Picture Response Time), improving the phenomenon of Motion Picture smear, and improving the image display effect.
In some embodiments, in each shift register 1, referring to fig. 18 and 20, the timing of the black insertion phase P7 of the plurality of row scanning periods is the same.
Illustratively, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, and the eight sub-shift registers 10 correspond to eight line scanning periods in one frame period, respectively. Here, as shown in fig. 18 and 20, the eight row scanning periods include one row scanning period group, each of the row scanning period groups includes two row scanning periods, and the timings of the eight black insertion phases P7 of the eight row scanning periods are the same.
In other embodiments, in each shift register 1, referring to fig. 22, the black insertion phase P7 of the plurality of row scanning periods includes at least two timings, and the black insertion phase P7 of the relatively earlier row scanning period is earlier in time than the black insertion phase P7 of the relatively later row scanning period.
Illustratively, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, and the eight sub-shift registers 10 correspond to eight line scanning periods in one frame period, respectively. Here, as shown in fig. 22, eight line scanning periods include two line scanning period groups, each of which includes two line scanning periods. The eight black insertion phases P7 of the eight row scanning periods include two timings, the timing of the black insertion phase P7 of the first four row scanning periods is the same, the timing of the black insertion phase P7 of the last four row scanning periods is the same, and the timing of the black insertion phase P7 of the first four row scanning periods is earlier than the timing of the black insertion phase P7 of the last four row scanning periods.
In still other embodiments, referring to fig. 24, the black insertion phase P7 of the plurality of row scan periods includes at least two timings, and the timings of the black insertion phase P7 of at least two row scan periods are the same.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 24, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, and the eight sub-shift registers 10 correspond to eight line scanning periods in one frame period, respectively. The eight line scanning periods comprise four line scanning period groups, and each line scanning period group comprises two line scanning periods; the eight black insertion phases P7 of the eight row scanning periods include four timings, and the timings of the black insertion phases P7 of each row scanning period group are the same.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a shift register 1, configured to perform the driving method of the shift register according to any one of the above embodiments. As shown in fig. 7 and 8, each shift register 1 includes a plurality of sub shift registers 10. Each sub shift register 10 electrically connects a plurality of pixel driving circuits in one row of sub pixels P (see fig. 2 and 3). The sub shift register 10 includes an input circuit 11 and an output circuit 12.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the Input circuit 11 is coupled to an Input signal terminal Input (abbreviated as Iput in the figures and below) and a first node N1. Wherein the input circuit 11 is configured to transmit the scan-in signal to the first node N1 in response to the scan-in signal received at the input signal terminal Iput; and transmitting the black inserted input signal to the first node N1 in response to the black inserted input signal received at the input signal terminal Iput.
For example, in a case where the level of the input signal terminal Iput is a high level, the input circuit 11 may be turned on by the scan input signal or the black insertion input signal and transmit the scan input signal or the black insertion input signal to the first node N1, charging the first node N1, and causing the voltage of the first node N1 to rise.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scan input signal and the black insertion input signal are respectively transmitted to the input circuit 11 at different times.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the Output circuit 12 is coupled to the first node N1, the first clock signal terminal CLKE, and the first Output signal terminal Output1 (abbreviated as Oput1 in the drawings and below). Wherein the output circuit 12 is configured to transmit the scan clock signal received at the first clock signal terminal CLKE to the first output signal terminal Oput1 in case that the scan input signal is transmitted to the first node, so that the first output signal terminal Oput1 outputs the scan signal; and, in case that the black inserted input signal is transmitted to the first node N1, the black inserted clock signal received at the first clock signal terminal CLKE is transmitted to the first output signal terminal Oput1, so that the first output signal terminal Oput1 outputs the black inserted signal.
For example, in the case where the voltage of the first node N1 is at a high level, the output circuit 12 may be turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node N1 to output the first clock signal received at the first clock signal terminal CLKE as a scan signal from the first output signal terminal Oput 1. And, in case that the voltage of the first node N1 is a high level, the output circuit 12 may be turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node N1 to output the first clock signal received at the first clock signal terminal CLKE as a black inserted signal from the first output signal terminal Oput 1.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scan signal and the black insertion signal are respectively output from the first output signal terminal Oput1 at different times.
In this case, the plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of the sub-pixels P are electrically connected to the same gate line GL. The first output signal terminal Oput1 of one sub-shift register 10 can be electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal terminal G2 of the plurality of pixel driving circuits in the corresponding row of sub-pixels P through the gate line GL, and the scan signal and the black insertion signal outputted from the first output signal terminal Oput1 can also be transmitted to the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal terminal G2 of the plurality of pixel driving circuits through the gate line GL.
In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7, the shift register 1 includes M sub-shift register groups 20, M ≧ 1, and M is an integer. Each sub-shift register group 20 comprises N adjacent sub-shift registers 10, wherein N is more than or equal to 2, and N is an integer. Among them, the N sub-shift registers 10 are configured to receive scan clock signals with the same timing to output scan signals with the same timing (see fig. 18).
In addition, the black insertion signal starts to be output after the pixel driving circuit of the row of sub-pixels P connected to the last sub-shift register 10 in the X sub-shift registers 10 completes writing of the data signal, so as to avoid interference between the black insertion signal and the scan signal.
The beneficial effects of the shift register provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure are the same as the beneficial effects of the driving method of the shift register provided in the above technical solution, and are not described herein again.
As shown in fig. 3, the first scanning signal terminal G1 and the second scanning signal terminal G2 of the plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of sub-pixels P are electrically connected to the same gate line GL.
As described above, the pixel drive circuit in the sub-pixel P, as shown in fig. 6, may include, for example, a display period, a black insertion period, and a blanking period, which are sequentially performed. The black insertion period includes a black insertion writing phase P4 and a black insertion maintaining phase P5.
In the display period, the voltage of the first node N1 is first raised by the input circuit 11. In response to the scan input signal received at the input signal terminal Iput, the input circuit 11 is turned on and charges the first node N1, and the output circuit 12 may be turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node N1 to output the first clock signal as the scan signal from the first output signal terminal Oput 1.
In the reset phase P1 and the data write phase P2, the input circuit 11 is turned off, the voltage of the first node N1 is maintained at a high level, the output circuit 12 maintains an on state by the voltage of the first node N1, and the level of the first clock signal output from the first output signal terminal Oput1 is at a high level. In the light emitting period P3, the voltage of the first node N1 is at a low level, the output circuit 12 is turned off, the level of the signal output from the first output signal terminal Oput1 is at a low level, and the driving transistor T2 is turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node G, driving the light emitting device to emit light.
At a certain time during the light emitting process of the light emitting device (i.e., at a time when the light emitting period P3 and the black insertion writing period P4 alternate in fig. 6), after the input circuit 11 is turned on and charges the first node N1 in response to the black insertion input signal received at the input signal terminal Iput, the output circuit 12 may be turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node N1 to output the first clock signal as the black insertion signal from the first output signal terminal Oput 1.
At this time, the black insertion signal is transmitted to the first and second scan signal terminals G1 and G2 of the corresponding pixel driving circuit. The level of the black insertion signal is high, the switching transistor T1 is turned on under the control of the black insertion signal, and a data signal of low level or lower level (which may also be referred to as a black insertion data signal) is transmitted to the second node G; the sensing transistor T3 is turned on under the control of the black insertion signal, and transmits a reset signal of a low level to the third node S. At this time Vgs (i.e., the voltage difference between the second node G and the third node S) is less than Vth (i.e., the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T2), the sub-pixel P stops emitting light and switches to a black picture. In the black insertion holding period t5, the sub-pixel P continues to be displayed as a black screen.
That is, the present disclosure may insert a black frame in the process of emitting light to perform normal image display of the subpixel P, so that the MPRT (Motion Picture Response Time) may be increased without increasing the refresh frequency, thereby improving the phenomenon of Motion Picture smear and improving the image display effect.
In addition, by controlling the writing time of the black insertion signal and the black insertion data signal, the ratio of the time length of the sub-pixel P for normally emitting light to the time length of keeping the sub-pixel P as a black picture can be controlled, so that the MPRT can be conveniently adjusted, the phenomenon of smear of a dynamic image can be improved, and the image display effect can be improved.
In the case where the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, and the eight line scanning periods include one line scanning period group, each line scanning period group includes two line scanning periods, and the timings of the eight black insertion phases P7 of the eight line scanning periods are the same, as shown in fig. 7 and 18, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, the eight sub-shift registers 10 includes one sub-shift register group 20, each sub-shift register group 20 includes two adjacent sub-shift registers 10, and the timings of the eight black insertion signals output by the eight sub-shift registers 10 are the same.
In the case where the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, and the eight black insertion phases P7 of the eight row scanning periods include two timings, the timings of the black insertion phases P7 of the first four row scanning periods are the same, and the timings of the black insertion phases P7 of the last four row scanning periods are the same, referring to fig. 7 and 22, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, the eight sub-shift registers 10 include two sub-shift register groups 20, each sub-shift register group 20 includes two adjacent sub-shift registers 10, and the eight black insertion signals output by the eight sub-shift registers 10 include two timings. The time sequences of four black insertion signals output by the eight sub shift registers 10 and the first four sub shift registers 10 are the same; the time sequences of the four black insertion signals output by the last four sub-shift registers 10 are the same, and the time of the black insertion signal output by the first four sub-shift registers 10 is earlier than the time of the black insertion signal output by the last four sub-shift registers 10.
The shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, and the eight line scanning periods include four line scanning period groups, each of which includes two line scanning periods; in the case where the eight black insertion phases P7 of the eight row scanning periods include four timings, and the timings of the black insertion phases P7 of each row scanning period group are the same, referring to fig. 7 and 24, the shift register 1 includes eight sub shift registers 10, the eight sub shift registers 10 include four sub shift register groups 20, and the eight black insertion signals output by the eight sub shift registers 10 include four timings. In the eight sub shift registers 10, each sub shift register group 20 includes two black insertion signals output by two adjacent sub shift registers 10, and the time for outputting the black insertion signal by the sub shift register group 20 relatively ahead is earlier than the time for outputting the black insertion signal by the sub shift register group 20 relatively behind.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the output circuit 12 is further coupled to the second clock signal terminal CLKD and the cascade signal terminal CR. Wherein, the output circuit 12 is further configured to transmit the second clock signal received at the second clock signal terminal CLKD to the cascade signal terminal CR in a case where the scan input signal is transmitted to the first node N1, so that the cascade signal terminal CR outputs the scan cascade signal.
For example, in a case where the voltage of the first node N1 is at a high level, the output circuit 12 may be turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node N1 to output the second clock signal received at the second clock signal terminal CLKD as a scanning cascade signal from the cascade signal terminal CR.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the input circuit 11 described above includes a scan input circuit 111 and a black insertion input circuit 112.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the scan-in circuit 111 is coupled to a scan-in signal terminal GI and a first node N1. Therein, the scan-in circuit 111 is configured to transmit a scan-in signal to the first node N1 in response to a scan-in signal received at a scan-in signal terminal GI.
For example, in a case where the level of the scan input signal terminal GI is a high level, the scan input circuit 11 may be turned on by the scan input signal and transmit the scan input signal to the first node N1, and charge the first node N1, so that the voltage of the first node N1 is raised.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the black insertion input circuit 112 is coupled to the black insertion input signal terminal BI and the first node N1. Wherein the black insertion input circuit 112 is configured to transmit the black insertion input signal to the first node N1 in response to the black insertion input signal received at the black insertion input signal terminal BI.
For example, in a case where the level of the black insertion input signal terminal BI is a high level, the black insertion input circuit 112 may be turned on by the scan input signal and transmit the scan input signal to the first node N1 to charge the first node N1, so that the voltage of the first node N1 is raised.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scan input circuit 111 and the black insertion input circuit 112 are turned on at different times.
In the shift register 1, in the case where 1 ≦ L, and L is an integer, the scan input signal terminal GI of the preceding L-stage sub-shift register 10 is configured to be coupled to the scan initialization signal line STV2 (see fig. 15); the scan input signal terminal GI of the remaining sub-shift registers 10 is coupled to the cascade signal terminal CR of the previous sub-shift register 10, so that the scan cascade signal output by each sub-shift register 10 can be used as the scan input signal of the next sub-shift register 10, thereby implementing cascade display.
Accordingly, in the shift register 1, in the case where 1 ≦ S and S is an integer, the black insertion input signal terminal BI of the previous S-stage sub-shift register 10 is configured to be coupled to the black insertion initialization signal line STV1 (see fig. 15); the black insertion input signal terminals BI of the remaining sub-shift registers 10 are coupled to the first node N1 of the previous sub-shift register 10, so that the high level received at the first node N1 of each sub-shift register 10 can be used as the black insertion input signal of the next sub-shift register 10.
Note that, the cascade signal output at the cascade signal end CR is used as the black insertion input signal of a certain sub shift register 10; alternatively, the high level received at the first node N1 may be used as the black insertion input signal of a subsequent sub shift register 10, and the disclosure is not limited in this respect.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a driving method of a scan driving circuit, which is applied to the scan driving circuit 100 described in any of the above embodiments.
In the scan drive circuit 100, in conjunction with fig. 18 and 24, each frame period includes a plurality of row scan periods, each including a scan phase P6 and a black insertion phase P7. Each sub shift register 10 of each shift register 1 of the scan drive circuit 100 (see fig. 14) is used to perform one row scan period.
In the scan phase, the sub-shift register 10 receives a scan input signal and a scan clock signal, and outputs a scan signal. At this time, the Data signal terminal Data of the pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel P electrically connected to the sub-shift register 10 receives a display Data signal, so that the driving transistor T2 is turned on to control the sub-pixel P of one row electrically connected to the sub-shift register 10 to emit light.
The scan clock signal is a first clock signal output from the first clock signal terminal CLKE of the output circuit 12 of the sub-shift register 10 when the input circuit 11 of the sub-shift register 10 receives the scan input signal.
In the black insertion phase P7, the sub shift register 10 receives the black insertion input signal and the black insertion clock signal, and outputs a black insertion signal. At this time, the Data signal terminal Data of the pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel P electrically connected to the sub-shift register 10 receives the black insertion Data signal, so that the driving transistor T2 is turned off to control the sub-pixels P of one row electrically connected to the sub-shift register 10 to stop emitting light. Wherein the voltage of the black insertion data signal is less than the voltage of the display data signal.
The black insertion clock signal is a first clock signal output from the first clock signal terminal CLKE of the output circuit 12 of the sub-shift register 10 when the input circuit 11 of the sub-shift register 10 receives the black insertion input signal.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 22 and 24, the black insertion phase P7 of the row scanning period performed by any one of the sub shift registers 10 follows the scanning phase P6 of the row scanning period performed by the last sub shift register 10 in the cascaded plurality of shift registers 1.
That is, the black insertion signal outputted from any shift register 1 is after the scanning signal is outputted from the last sub-shift register 10 in the cascaded shift registers 1. That is, after all the sub shift registers 10 output the scanning signal to cause the sub pixels electrically connected to the sub shift registers 10 to emit light, black insertion is sequentially performed for all the sub shift registers 10.
In this case, in the input circuit 11 of the sub shift register 10, the scan input signal and the black insertion input signal are transmitted at different times, respectively, and the scan input signal and the black insertion input signal can be multiplexed by one circuit. For example, the scan input signal terminal GI of the scan input circuit 111 mentioned above can also receive a black insertion input signal, so that black insertion can be achieved without providing the black insertion input circuit 112, the structure of the scan driving circuit 100 is simplified, and the yield of the scan driving circuit 100 and the display panel 1000 and the display device 2000 applied thereto is improved.
In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 18 and 20, the black insertion phase P7 of the row scanning period executed by each sub-shift register 10 of the shift register 1 is after the scanning phase P6 of the plurality of row scanning periods executed by the plurality of sub-shift registers 10 of the shift register 1 and before the data signal writing of one row of sub-pixels P corresponding to the row scanning period executed by one sub-shift register 10 of the other shift registers 1, i.e., before the data writing phase P2 in fig. 5.
That is, the sub-shift registers 10 of the shift register 1 include the black insertion input circuit 112, and the black insertion signal outputted by each shift register 1 is after the last sub-shift register 10 in the shift register 1 outputs the scan signal and before the data signal of the sub-pixel P in one row corresponding to one sub-shift register 10 in the other shift register 1 is written, i.e., before the data writing stage P2 in fig. 5.
Illustratively, the black insertion signal outputted by each shift register 1 except the last shift register 1 is after the last sub-shift register 10 in the shift register 1 outputs the scan signal and before the data signal writing of the sub-pixel P in one row corresponding to the first sub-shift register 10 in the next shift register 1.
It should be noted that the black insertion signal output by the last shift register 1 may be after the last sub-shift register 10 in the last shift register 1 outputs the scan signal and before the data signal of the sub-pixel P in one row corresponding to the first sub-shift register 10 in the first shift register 1 is written.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a driving method of the shift register 1, as shown in fig. 9, 10 and 16, the shift register 1 (see fig. 15) includes a plurality of sub-shift registers 10, each sub-shift register 10 corresponds to one line scanning period in one frame period, and the line scanning period includes a scanning phase P6 and a black insertion phase P7.
The black insertion phase P7 starts at the same time as the data signal writing of the sub-pixels P in one row driven by the set row scanning period starts, and the ratio of the duration of the black insertion phase P7 to the duration of the data signal writing of the sub-pixels P in one row driven by the set row scanning period is less than or equal to 1/2. Setting the line scanning time interval as the line scanning time interval corresponding to one sub-shift register 10 of other shift registers 1; for example, except for the last shift register 1, the line scanning period is set as the next stage line scanning period; the set line scanning period corresponding to the last shift register 1 may be a line scanning period corresponding to the first shift register 1.
That is, each shift register 1 in the scan driving circuit 100 uses one sub-shift register 10 in the other shift register 1, and the first half of the time period for writing the data signal of the connected row of sub-pixels P is black-inserted, i.e. the first half of the data writing phase P2 in fig. 5; that is, in the sub-shift register 10 which is performing the black insertion phase P7 in the row scanning period, the Data signal terminal Data of the pixel driving circuit in the one row of the sub-pixels P to which the electric connection is made is written at most, and in the sub-shift register 10 which is performing the scanning phase P6 in the row scanning period, the first half of the display Data signal received by the Data signal terminal Data of the pixel driving circuit in the one row of the sub-pixels P to which the electric connection is made. The voltage of the display Data signal transmitted by the Data signal terminal Data gradually rises from low to high, and when the voltage of the first node G is the peak voltage corresponding to the first half of the display Data signal, Vgs is still smaller than Vth. In this way, when the sub-shift register 10 in the black insertion phase P7 is being performed, the voltage at the first node G in the pixel driving circuit in the electrically connected sub-pixel P in one row is pulled low, Vgs is smaller than Vth, and the driving transistor T2 is turned off, so that the sub-pixel P stops emitting light and is switched to a black screen.
That is, the driving method of the shift register 1 according to the present disclosure can increase the black insertion data writing Time on the basis of the Time of not compressing the data writing when the refresh frequency is constant, and insert the black Picture in the process of emitting light to perform normal image display of the sub-pixel P, thereby increasing the MPRT (Motion Picture Response Time), improving the phenomenon of Motion Picture smear, and improving the image display effect.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a shift register 1 for implementing the driving method of the shift register described in the above embodiments. Referring to fig. 7 and 9, the shift register 1 includes a plurality of sub-shift registers 10, and each sub-shift register 10 electrically connects a plurality of pixel driving circuits in one row of sub-pixels P (see fig. 2). The sub shift register 10 includes a scan input circuit 111, a black insertion input circuit 112, and an output circuit 12.
It should be noted that, the scan input circuit 111, the black insertion input circuit 112, and the output circuit 12 may specifically refer to the descriptions in some embodiments, and are not described herein again.
Here, referring to fig. 16, the timing at which the black insertion signal starts to be output is the same as the timing at which the data signal writing starts for the one row of sub-pixels P connected to the setting sub-shift register 10, that is, the timing at which the data writing phase P2 starts in fig. 5. Also, the ratio of the duration of the black insertion signal to the duration of the data signal writing for the sub-pixel P of one row to which the sub-shift register 10 is set is less than or equal to 1/2, i.e., the ratio of the duration of the data writing phase P2 (see fig. 5) for the sub-pixel P of one row to which the sub-shift register 10 is set is less than or equal to 1/2. The sub shift register 10 is set as one sub shift register 10 of the other shift registers 1. For example, except for the last shift register 1, the sub-shift register 10 is set as the first sub-shift register 10 in the next stage of shift register 1; the setting sub-shift register 10 corresponding to the last shift register 1 may be the first sub-shift register 10 in the first shift register 1.
