Description

Background
Currently, an organic light emitting diode display of an active matrix is widely applied to a medium and small sized display panel, and gradually becomes a mainstream of display technology. Specifically, a hybrid transistor technology based on low-temperature polysilicon and metal oxide formation, i.e., a low-temperature polysilicon oxide technology, has begun to become a backlight technology for high-end display. The low-temperature polycrystalline oxide technology has the characteristics of high mobility, high driving capability and low leakage current, and can obviously reduce the leakage current and charge of the internal nodes of the organic light-emitting diode pixels of the active matrix, thereby obviously reducing the display driving power consumption in low-frame occasions.
However, most of the low-temperature poly-oxide transistor technology has been used to improve the performance of the organic light emitting diode pixel circuit of the active matrix, and little research has been done so far to build high-performance peripheral driving circuits, especially with respect to ESD protection circuits.
The existing ESD circuit not only needs to have a strong protection effect, but also needs to ensure that the leakage current is low in the normal working process of the I/O terminal. However, there is a contradiction between the two, and from the viewpoint of improving the ESD protection effect, the smaller the number of TFTs connected in series in the existing ESD circuit, the better, but this causes that a certain amount of high voltage is output from the I/O terminal in normal operation. Therefore, in the existing ESD circuit, because the structural parameters of the device are difficult to optimize and select, and are limited by the principle defects of the circuit, the existing ESD circuit is difficult to simultaneously consider the ESD protection effect, lower leakage, smaller circuit area, lower power consumption and other indexes no matter how the channel width and length of the TFT are selected.
Therefore, how to provide an ESD circuit, which can take into consideration the ESD protection effect, lower leakage, smaller circuit area, lower power consumption, etc. is a difficulty that the existing panel manufacturers need to strive to overcome.

Note that the amplifying module 106 includes not only the first buffer amplifier 1061 formed of the first amplifying transistor T3 and the second amplifying transistor T4, but also the second buffer amplifier 1062 formed of the third amplifying transistor T5 and the fourth amplifying transistor T6. The amplifying module 106 provided in this embodiment of the present application includes two stages of amplifying units, so that the voltage values of the normal working high voltage VGH, the reference high voltage VH, the reference low voltage VL, and the discharging voltage VSS need to be in a situation of sequentially decreasing, so that the amplifying function of the amplifying module 106 can be better implemented.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic circuit conduction diagram of the ESD protection circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application in a normal operating state. As shown in fig. 5, when the ESD protection circuit is in a state, the voltage of the I/O terminal P is the normal operation high voltage VGH of the first power line 101. Since the first detection transistor T1 and the second detection transistor T2 are in the diode state of the reverse connection, they are in the high-resistance state, and the voltage value of the first node a is k×vgh+vss, where K is the ratio of the channel width of the first detection transistor T1 to the channel width of the second detection transistor T2. At this time, the first discharge transistor T7 is turned on, the third amplification transistor T5 is turned off, and the voltage of the second node B is the reference high level VH. Further, the second amplifying transistor T4 is turned off, the fourth amplifying transistor T6 is turned on, and the potential of the third node C is fixed at the reference low level VL by being pulled down. Thus, the second discharge transistor T8 of the discharge module 107 is turned off, and the discharge module 107 is in a non-operating state.
The first amplifying transistor T3 and the second amplifying transistor T4 are p-type transistors, and the third amplifying transistor T5 and the fourth amplifying transistor T6 are n-type transistors. The p-type transistor is turned on when the grid electrode is at a low level, and turned off when the grid electrode is at a high level; the n-type transistor is turned on when the gate is high, and turned off when the gate is low.
In the normal operation state, the first detection transistor T1 and the second detection transistor T2 are in the reverse-connected diode state, so that the first detection transistor T1 and the second detection transistor T2 are in the high-resistance state, and the device sizes and parameters of the first detection transistor T1 and the second detection transistor T2 need to be properly selected. Specifically, the channel width of the second detection transistor T2 is a ratio of the channel width of the first detection transistor T1 to 9 to 11. The channel width of the second detection transistor T2 is 9, 10 or 11 as the ratio of the channel width of the first detection transistor T1. The specific ratio of the channel width of the second detection transistor T2 to the channel width of the first detection transistor T1 is determined by the specific requirements of the ESD protection circuit 10.
In addition, from the above operation, it can be derived that each voltage should satisfy the following conditions: vgh+vss-VL<Vth n ，VH-(K*VGH+VSS)<|Vth p |，VL-VSS<Vth n . From the above formula, the defined formula for VL can be derived as: VGH+VSS-Vth n <VL<Vth n +VSS。
Wherein Vth n Is the threshold voltage of an n-type transistor, vth p Is the threshold voltage of the p-type transistor.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic circuit conduction diagram of the ESD protection circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application in a high voltage protection state. As shown in fig. 6, when the ESD protection circuit is in the high voltage protection state, the voltage of the I/O terminal P is the voltage VGHH of the ESD abnormal charge. Since the first detection transistor T1 and the second detection transistor T2 are in the diode state of the reverse connection, they are in the high-resistance state, and the voltage value of the first node a is k×vghh+vss, where K is the ratio of the channel width of the first detection transistor T1 to the channel width of the second detection transistor T2. At this time, the first discharge transistor T7 is turned off and the third amplification transistor T5 is turned on, and the voltage of the second node B is the reference low level VL. Further, the second amplifying transistor T4 is turned on, the fourth amplifying transistor T6 is turned off, and the potential of the third node C is pulled up and fixed at the reference high level VH. Thus, the second discharge transistor T8 of the discharge module 107 is turned on, and the discharge module 107 is in an operating state, so as to release the ESD abnormal charge at the I/O terminal P more quickly.
From the above operation, it can be seen that the following conditions should be satisfied for each voltage: vghh+vss-VL>Vth n ，VH-(K*VGHH+VSS)<|Vth p |，VL-VSS>Vth n . From the above formula, the conditions for triggering protection of the ESD protection circuit 10 provided in the embodiments of the present application can be deduced as follows: VGHH+VSS-VL>(Vth n +VL-VSS)/K。
Wherein Vth n Is the threshold voltage of an n-type transistor, vth p Is the threshold voltage of the p-type transistor.
The ESD protection circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can better solve the contradiction in the existing ESD protection circuit, overcome the principle defect of the existing ESD protection circuit architecture, and better give consideration to the indexes of ESD protection effect, lower leakage, smaller circuit area, lower power consumption, and the like. The ESD protection circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can effectively reduce leakage power consumption of the ESD part in the normal working process by using the characteristic of small leakage current of the metal oxide transistor; meanwhile, the advantage of high response speed of the low-temperature polysilicon transistor is exerted, the low-temperature polysilicon transistor can rapidly respond after the occurrence of ESD abnormal charge, and the possible loss caused by the ESD abnormal charge is restrained.
