A control method of the shift register unit according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to fig. 5 and 6.
Fig. 5 schematically shows a signal timing diagram of a shift register unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 6 schematically shows a simulation diagram of signal timing of a shift register cell of an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The signal timing of fig. 5 and 6 will be described in detail below in conjunction with the shift register circuit of fig. 3.
As shown in fig. 5, the first clock signal, the second clock signal, the first control signal, the second control signal and the third control signal are applied to the first clock signal terminal XCK, the second clock signal terminal CK, the first control signal terminal SC1, the second control signal terminal SC2 and the third control signal terminal SC3 of the shift register unit, respectively, the power signal and the reference signal are applied to the power signal terminal VGH and the reference signal terminal VGL of the shift register unit, respectively, and the input signal is applied to the input signal terminal STU of the shift register unit. The signals at the first clock signal terminal XCK, the second clock signal terminal CK, the first control signal terminal SC1, the second control signal terminal SC2, and the third control signal terminal SC3 may be ac signals, for example, the signals at the first clock signal terminal XCK and the second clock signal terminal CK are periodic signals and are opposite in phase, and the signals at the first control signal terminal SCl, the second control signal terminal SC2, the third control signal terminal SC3, and the input signal terminal STU are pulse signals. The signals at the power signal terminal VGH and the reference signal terminal VGL may be dc signals, for example, the power signal terminal VGH is at a constant high level, and the reference signal terminal VGL is at a constant low level.
The first stage includes period (1) to period (5).
In the period (1), as shown in fig. 5, the first control signal terminal SC1 is at a high level, the second control signal terminal SC2 and the third control signal terminal SC3 are at a low level, the input signal terminal STU is at a high level, the second clock signal terminal CK is at a low level, and the first clock signal terminal XCK is at a high level. The high level of the first control signal terminal SC1 turns on the sixteenth transistor T16 to charge the pull-up node Q to a high level. The tenth transistor T10 is turned on by the high level of the pull-up node Q, and the high level of the power signal terminal VGH is supplied to the node G, thereby outputting the high level at the output signal terminal OUT. The high level of the input signal terminal STU turns on the sixth transistor T6, so that the M point is pulled to the low level of the second clock signal terminal CK. The low level of the point M causes the seventh transistor T7 to be turned off. At this time, although the eighth transistor T8 is turned on by the high level of the first clock signal terminal XCK, the seventh transistor T7 is turned off, so that the power signal terminal VGH is electrically isolated from the pull-down node QB, thereby preventing the low level of the pull-down node QB from being affected. The high level of the pull-up node Q also turns on the twenty first and twenty second transistors T21 and T22, thereby pulling the pull-down node QB point to a low level. The low level of the pull-down node QB turns off the eleventh transistor T11 so as not to affect the high level of the output signal terminal OUT. Because of the voltage division of the resistors, the voltage rise of the output signal terminal OUT is slower than that of the pull-up node Q point, so that the output signal terminal OUT and the pull-up node Q point generate bootstrap in the charging process, the potential of the pull-up node Q point is higher than that of the power supply signal terminal VGH, and the lossless output of the output signal terminal OUT is further ensured.
In the period (2), the second clock signal terminal CK becomes the high level, the first clock signal terminal XCK becomes the low level, and the input signal terminal STU maintains the high level. The second clock signal terminal CK becomes a high level to turn on the fifth transistor T5, and the high level of the input signal terminal STU turns on the sixth transistor T6, thereby bringing the point M to a high level. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on by the high level of the point M, the eighth transistor T8 is turned off by the low level of the first clock signal terminal XCK, and the power signal terminal VGH can be electrically isolated from the pull-down node QB, so that the pull-down node QB is maintained at the low level. The presence of the first capacitor C1 keeps the pull-up node Q point at a high level, and the output signal terminal OUT continues to output a high level.
In the period (3), the second clock signal terminal CK becomes the low level, the first clock signal terminal XCK becomes the high level, and the input signal terminal STU maintains the high level. The high level of the input signal terminal STU turns on the sixth transistor T6, thereby pulling down the M point to the low level of the second clock signal terminal CK. The fifth transistor T5 is turned off by the low level of the second clock signal terminal CK, the seventh transistor T7 is turned off by the low level of the M-point, and the eighth transistor T8 is turned on by the high level of the first clock signal terminal XCK. This allows the high level of the power signal terminal VGH to remain electrically isolated from the pull-down node QB, so that the pull-down node QB can keep at a low level. The first capacitor C1 keeps the pull-up node Q at a high level, so that the output signal terminal OUT continuously outputs a high level.
In the period (4), the operations of the period (2) and the period (3) are repeated, the pull-up node Q continues to be at the high level, and the pull-down node QB continues to be at the low level, thereby causing the output signal terminal OUT to continuously output the high level.
In the period (5), the second control signal terminal SC2 is at the high level, and the input signal terminal STU becomes the low level. The high level of the second control signal terminal SC2 turns on the fifteenth transistor T15, thereby supplying the high level of the power supply signal terminal VGH to the pull-down node QB. The high level of the pull-down node QB turns on the eighteenth and nineteenth transistors T18 and T19, thereby discharging the pull-up node Q point to the low level of the reference signal terminal VGL. The low level of the pull-up node Q turns off the twenty first and twenty second transistors T21 and T22. The tenth transistor T10 is also turned off by the low level of the pull-up node Q, and the eleventh transistor T11 is turned on by the high level of the pull-down node QB, so that the node G is pulled down to the low level of the reference signal terminal VGL, and the output signal terminal OUT is pulled down to the low level.
After the operations from the time period (1) to the time period (5) are performed, the full screen reset and compensation time period is finished, and it can be seen from the function that the full screen reset and compensation time is adjustable through the second control signal terminal SC2, and through the arrangement of the thirteenth transistor T13, the fourteenth transistor T14, the eighteenth transistor T18, the nineteenth transistor T19 and the seventh transistor T7, the anti-creeping design is realized. The high potential of the pull-up node Q point needs to be kept for a long time from the time period (1) to the time period (5), and the leakage of the pull-up node Q can be prevented through the leakage-proof design, so that the condition that the output of the circuit is abnormal due to unstable voltage of the pull-up node Q can be relieved.
The second phase may include period (6) through period (R).
In the period (6), the second clock signal terminal CK and the third control signal terminal SC3 are at a high level, and the first clock signal terminal XCK and the input signal terminal STU are at a low level. The high level of the third control signal terminal SC3 turns on the second transistor T2. At this time, since the first clock signal terminal XCK is at a low level, the first transistor T1 is turned off, and the pull-up node Q remains at a low level. The high level of the second clock signal terminal CK turns on the fifth transistor T5, thereby supplying the high level of the power signal terminal VGH to the point M, thereby turning on the seventh transistor T7. Although the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the eighth transistor T8 is turned off by the low level of the first clock signal terminal XCK, and thus the pull-down node QB is maintained at the high level. The high level of the pull-down node QB turns on the twenty-first and twenty-second transistors T21 and T22, thereby maintaining the pull-up node Q at a low level. The eleventh transistor T11 is turned on by the high level of the pull-down node QB, and the tenth transistor T10 is turned off by the low level of the pull-up node Q, so that the output signal terminal OUT continues to be at the low level.
In the period (7), the second clock signal terminal CK is at a low level, the first clock signal terminal XCK is at a high level, and the third control signal terminal SC3 and the input signal terminal STU are at a high level. The high levels of the third control signal terminal SC3 and the first clock signal terminal XCK turn on the first and second transistors T1 and T2, thereby charging the pull-up node Q to a high level. The high level of the pull-up node Q turns on the tenth transistor T10, thereby causing the output signal terminal OUT to output a high level. The high level of the pull-up node Q also discharges the pull-down node QB to a low level through the twenty-first transistor T21 and the twenty-second transistor T22, and the output signal terminal OUT outputs a high level, which is a gate precharge stage. In this process, the low levels of the input signal terminal STU and the second clock signal terminal CK turn off both the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6, thereby discharging the M-point to a low level. The seventh transistor T7 is turned off by the low level of the point M, and the eighth transistor T8 is turned on by the high level of the first clock signal terminal XCK so as not to affect the voltage level of the pull-down node QB.
In the period (8), the second clock terminal CK is at a high level, the first clock terminal XCK is at a low level, and the third control signal terminal SC3 maintains at a high level. Since both the third control signal terminal SC3 and the pull-up node Q are at a high level, the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are in an on state, thereby supplying the high level of the second clock signal terminal CK to the node a. At this time, due to the bootstrap effect of the first capacitor C1, the potential of the pull-up node Q is further raised, and due to the bootstrap effect of the third capacitor C3, the potential of the node G is further raised, and the output signal terminal OUT generates lossless output.
In the period (9), the second clock terminal CK is at a low level, the first clock terminal XCK is at a high level, and the input signal terminal STU is at a low level. The presence of the second capacitor C2 makes the point M still high, so that the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and the pull-down node QB is charged to the high level of the first clock terminal XCK. The high level of the pull-down node QB turns on the eighteenth and nineteenth transistors T18 and T19, and the pull-up node Q point is pulled down to a low level through the eighteenth and nineteenth transistors T18 and T19. Since the pull-up node Q is at a low level and the pull-down node Q is at a high level, the tenth transistor T10 is turned off, the eleventh transistor T11 is turned on, and the output signal terminal OUT is discharged to a low level.
In period (r), the second clock terminal CK is received at a high level and the first clock terminal XCK is received at a low level. The eighth transistor T8 is turned off, so that the pull-down node QB is maintained at a high level, the pull-up node Q is maintained at a low level, and the output signal terminal OUT continues to be maintained at a low level.
Then, the operation of period (9) and the operation in the area in the cavity are repeated, and the output signal terminal OUT is continuously maintained in the low level state.
As shown in fig. 6, in the first phase, i.e. the reset and compensation phase, in response to the first control signal terminal SCl being at a high level, the shift register unit generates an output signal at a continuously high level and outputs the output signal at the output signal terminal OUT; in response to the high level of the second control signal terminal SC2, the first reset circuit of the shift register unit resets the pull-down node QB to the high level and resets the pull-up node Q to the low level, thereby changing the output signal of the output signal terminal OUT to the low level. In this way, the shift register unit generates gate driving signals for compensation and reset in the first stage.
In the second phase, i.e., the data writing phase, the high level of the third control signal terminal SC3, the shift register unit pulls up the pull-up node Q to the high level based on the input signal of the input signal terminal STU, thereby generating the output signal of the high level at the output signal terminal OUT. In response to the first arrival of the high level of the first clock signal XCK and the low level of the second clock signal CK, the second reset circuit of the shift register unit resets the pull-down node QB to the high level, and the control circuit pulls down the pull-up node Q to the low level, thereby generating an output signal of the low level at the output signal terminal OUT. In this way, the shift register unit generates a gate driving signal for data writing in the second stage. It can be seen that the waveform of the gate driving signal generated in the second stage is different from the waveform of the gate driving signal generated in the first stage.
Fig. 7 schematically shows a simulation diagram of signal timing of a gate driving circuit of an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The timing chart is applicable to the gate driver circuit of any of the embodiments described above.
The signal timing of fig. 7 will be described in detail with reference to the gate driving circuit of fig. 4. For convenience of description, only the output signals OUT <1>, OUT <2>, OUT <3>, OUT <28>, OUT <29>, OUT <30>, OUT <52>, OUT <53> and OUT <54> of the first to third shift registers, the 28 to 30 shift registers and the 52 to 54 shift registers are shown in fig. 7.
As shown in fig. 7, in the first stage, the shift registers of the respective stages perform the operation of the first stage as described above under the control of the first control signal and the second control signal. For example, the first stage of the shift register unit GOA1 generates the output signal OUT <1> by using the signal timing of the first stage as shown in fig. 5. Since the input signal terminal STU of the next-stage shift register unit GOA _2 is connected to the output signal terminal OUT of the next-stage shift register unit GOA _1 and the clock signals of the two clock signal terminals are in anti-phase with the shift register unit GOA _1, the output signal OUT <1> of the previous-stage output signal terminal OUT is used as the input signal of the next-stage input signal terminal STU, and the second-stage output signal OUT <2> having the same waveform as the first-stage output signal OUT <1> is generated. By analogy, each stage of shift register unit generates synchronous output signals in the first stage. As shown in the first stage of fig. 7, the outputs OUT <1>, OUT <2>, OUT <3> … … OUT <28>, OUT <29>, OUT <30> … … OUT <52>, OUT <53>, OUT <54> continue high for the same period.
In the second stage, the shift registers of the respective stages perform the second-stage operation as described above under the control of the first control signal and the second control signal. For example, the first stage of shift register unit GOA _1 generates the output signal OUT <1> with the signal timing of the first stage as shown in fig. 5. Since the input signal terminal STU of the next-stage shift register unit GOA _2 is connected to the output signal terminal OUT of the next-stage shift register unit GOA _1 and the clock signals of the two clock signal terminals are in anti-phase with the shift register unit GOA _1, the output signal OUT <1> of the previous-stage output signal terminal OUT is used as the input signal of the next-stage input signal terminal STU, and the second-stage output signal OUT <2> shifted with respect to the first-stage output signal OUT <1> is generated. By analogy, each stage of shift register unit generates output signals which are sequentially shifted in the first stage. As shown in the second stage of FIG. 7, the outputs OUT <1>, OUT <2>, OUT <3> … … OUT <28>, OUT <29>, OUT <30> … … OUT <52>, OUT <53>, OUT <54> are sequentially shifted pulse signals.
Fig. 8 schematically illustrates a driving effect diagram of a gate driving circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 8, each frame includes a reset compensation phase, a data writing phase, and a light emitting phase. In the reset compensation stage, output signals of all stages of shift registers in the gate driving circuit are all high level and are kept for a period of time at the high level, so that the functions of reset and compensation are completed. After the reset compensation stage is finished, a data writing stage is started, each cascaded shift register generates output signals shifted in sequence, and therefore pixels of the display area are scanned step by step so that data writing can be conducted on the pixels. And entering a light-emitting stage after data writing, and driving the pixels of the display area to emit light so as to finish the display of one frame.
