Specifically, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a prior art panel circuit; referring to fig. 2, the panel circuit includes a GOA circuit and a Source IC and a Pixel TFT corresponding to each Pixel. The GOA circuit comprises a plurality of cascaded GOA units (G1, G2, G3 … Gn-1 and Gn). Each GOA cell is used to drive a row of Pixel TFTs. The Source IC includes a plurality of Source cells (S1, S2, S3 … Sn-1 and Sn). Each source cell is used to supply power to the Pixel TFTs of a column.
From the imaging principle of the liquid crystal panel, the operation of the liquid crystal panel is commonly controlled by the gate and source voltages. The grid voltage is responsible for turning on and turning off the TFT transistor below a specific pixel point, so that the on and off of the pixel point are influenced. And then, the source voltage charges a liquid crystal area where the pixel point is located, the rotation angle of liquid crystal molecules is influenced, and the gray level of the pixel point is further influenced.
The main functional module of the Gate On Array (GOA) is to design an S/R circuit by using the TFT process of the panel, so that the panel can provide the capability of scanning sequentially. The Pixel TFT uses the signal provided by GOA circuit and Source IC to make the corresponding Sub Pixel possess correct voltage, and then drives LC inversion to generate color picture acceptable to human eye.
Touch Technology (Touch Panel Technology) can be divided into three modes, namely Out-cell, On-cell and In-cell, according to the position of a Touch sensor (Touch sensor). The In-cell technology not only further reduces the thickness of the whole machine, but also can be manufactured together with the LCD, and the visibility of the LCD In a bright environment is not influenced. The GOA circuit can be widely applied to the In-cell technology integrating the touch panel function and the liquid crystal panel.
The pull-up and pull-down control module 100 is controlled by the m-2 level clock signal line Ck (m-2) to turn on or off, and the GSP signal or the output signal of the signal output terminal G (n-2) of the n-2 level GOA unit is used to control the capacitor module 400 at the first node to be charged and drive the pull-up and pull-down module 200 to be turned on. When the pull-up module 200 is turned on, if the clock signal output from the m-th level clock signal line Ckm changes from low level to high level, the output Gout of the n-th level GOA unit also changes to high level synchronously and is input to the panel AA area, and the corresponding Pixel TFT (thin film transistor corresponding to the Pixel) is driven to turn on, so that the Pixel charges the correct source voltage.
After the Pixel TFT in the AA area receives the source signal, the output Gout of the n-th-level GOA unit needs to be synchronously changed into low level, so that the Pixel TFT can be effectively closed, and the related source voltage can be effectively locked by driving. Therefore, the voltage at the first node keeps high, driving the pull-up/pull-down module 200 to pull down the output voltage of Gout.
After the nth GOA unit finishes operating, the pull-down maintaining module 300 in this embodiment is used to maintain the low voltage of Gout in order to continuously input the low voltage Gout to the Pixel TFT.
In addition, in order to reduce the driving defects during the startup, the present embodiment effectively drives the first clearing module 500 by using the GSP signal to clear the first node voltage, so as to reduce the risk of abnormal lighting pictures caused by the defects during the initial driving of the GOA.
In the Touch stage, the Touch function adjusting module 600 utilizes the Touch scan signal Tp to match the coupled first low level signal, so that Gout outputs an AC signal identical to that of a Touch Sensor module (Touch Sensor module, not shown in this application), thereby reducing loading of the Touch Sensor module, improving sensitivity of the Touch Sensor module, and maintaining a dark screen wake-up function.
The present embodiment utilizes the GSP signal during the startup to effectively control the first clearing module 500 to clear the voltage of the first node, so as to reduce the defects during the initial driving of the GOA and reduce the risk of abnormal startup lighting pictures. The upper and lower pull-up control module 100 is controlled by the periodic clock signal and the output signal of the previous stage to charge the capacitor module 400 of the first node, the upper and lower pull-up module 200 is controlled to be turned on or off by the periodic clock signal and the voltage of the first node, and the output Gout of the GOA is synchronously made to be a high potential when the periodic clock signal is changed to be the high potential, so that the corresponding Pixel TFT is effectively turned on. The pull-down maintaining module 300 is utilized to enable the output voltage Gout of the GOA to maintain the low level of Gout so that the corresponding Pixel TFT can be effectively turned off. According to the GOA circuit, the wiring quantity and the circuit layout area in the GOA circuit are effectively reduced by utilizing the collocation of the periodic clock signals and the TFTs. The GOA circuit is suitable for the panel requirement of the narrow frame. The touch function adjusting module 600 is further utilized to match the touch scanning signal Tp and the first low-level signal to reduce the loading of the touch sensor module, so that the sensitivity of the touch sensor module is improved, and the dark screen awakening function is maintained.
Fig. 3 is a circuit diagram of a pull-up and pull-down control module 100 according to an embodiment of the present application; referring to fig. 3, if the nth level GOA cell is the GOA cells in the previous two levels, the first end of the first sub-tft T1A included in the corresponding pull-up and pull-down control module 100 is connected to the GSP signal, and if the nth level GOA cell is the GOA cell after the previous two levels, the first end of the first sub-tft T1A included in the corresponding pull-up and pull-down control module 100 is connected to the signal output terminal G (n-2) of the nth-2 level GOA cell;
the gate of the first sub-thin film transistor T1A and the gate of the second sub-thin film transistor T1B included in the pull-up and pull-down control module 100 are both connected to the m-2 th-stage clock signal line Ck (m-2);
the second end of the first sub thin film transistor T1A and the first end of the second sub thin film transistor T1B are both connected to the sixth node;
the gate of the fourth sub-tft T2B included in the pull-up/down control module 100 is connected to the first node q (n), and the first node is connected to the sixth node;
the gate and the second terminal of the third sub-tft T2A included in the pull-up/down control module 100 both contact the control scan signal Tp and the second terminal of the first sub-tft T2B.
Specifically, the first sub thin film transistor T1A, the second sub thin film transistor T1B, the third sub thin film transistor T2A, and the fourth sub thin film transistor T2B are all thin film transistors TFT.
When the G (n-2) or GSP start signal and the clock signal provided by the m-2 th clock signal line Ck (m-2) both change from low level to high level, the first node is charged through the capacitor module 400, and Gout outputs the clock signal provided by the m-th clock signal line Ckm as low level.
The clock signal provided by the mth stage clock signal line Ckm changes from low level to high level, the first node stops charging through the capacitance block 400, and the Gout output changes from low level to high level to effectively turn on the corresponding Pixel TFT.
When the clock signal provided by the mth stage clock signal line Ckm changes from high level to low level, the first node still maintains high level, so the Gout output changes from high level to low level, and at this time, the Gout maintains low level due to the action of the pull-down maintaining module 300, so as to effectively turn off the corresponding Pixel TFT.
In this embodiment, in the pit stopping area at the Touch stage: when the first node q (n) of the nth level GOA unit is at a high voltage level, the touch scan signal Tp is transmitted to the Drain terminal of T1B through T12A and T12B, and both ends (source S and Drain D) of T1B are at a high voltage level, so Vgs is much smaller than Vth, and the risk of leakage of the first node q (n) can be reduced. Non-pit-stopping area: point q (n) is low, and T12B is off, so the touch scan signal Tp cannot be transmitted into T1B, and normal operation of the circuit is not affected; and recovering the conventional GOA circuit driving after the Touch stage is finished.
In the embodiment, the T1A, T1B, T12A, T12B and the Touch scan signal Tp in the pull-up and pull-down control module are used to drive Vgs < Vth of T1B, so that the risk of leakage of the first node q (n) of the GOA unit in the Touch phase can be reduced.
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of a pull-up/pull-down control module according to another embodiment of the present application; referring to fig. 4, if the nth level GOA cell is the GOA cells in the previous two levels, the first end of the first thin film transistor T1 included in the corresponding pull-up and pull-down control module 100 is connected to the GSP signal, and if the nth level GOA cell is the GOA cell following the previous two levels, the first end of the first thin film transistor T1 included in the corresponding pull-up and pull-down control module 100 is connected to the signal output terminal G (n-2) of the nth-2 level GOA cell;
the gate of the first thin film transistor T1 is connected to the m-2 th stage clock signal line Ck (m-2), and the second terminal is connected to the first node q (n).
Specifically, the first thin film transistor T1 is driven by the clock signal of the m-2 th stage clock signal line Ck (m-2), and when T1 is turned on, the first terminal of T1 charges the first node q (n) through T1, driving T7 to turn on.
In the case where T7 is turned on, if the voltage of the clock signal of the mth stage clock signal line Ckm changes from the low potential to the high potential, the second terminal of T7, i.e., the output terminal Gout, changes to the high potential in synchronization. Gout is input to the panel in AA area to drive the corresponding Pixel TFT to be opened, so that the Pixel is charged with the correct source voltage.
Since the first node q (n) is kept at the high voltage level by the first capacitor, the output of the second terminal Gout of T7 in the pull-up/down module 200 can be driven to the low voltage level, so as to effectively pull down the Gout voltage. Since Gout is connected to the first low level signal through the pull-down maintaining module 300, the pull-down maintaining module 300 can continuously pull down the potential of Gout at other time after the GOA unit finishes operating, so that Gout can effectively keep the low potential.

Referring to fig. 5 to 8, the gate of the seventh thin film transistor T7 included in the pull-up/down module 200 is connected to the first node, the first terminal thereof is connected to the mth stage clock signal line Ckm, and the second terminal thereof is connected to the second node;

Specifically, the pull-up and pull-down module 200 includes a seventh thin film transistor T7, the first clear module 500 includes a sixth thin film transistor T6, and the capacitor module 400 includes a first capacitor C1.

The second node is a common node of the second terminal of the first capacitor C1, the second terminal of the seventh tft T7, and the pull-down sustain module 300.
The third node is a common node of the second terminal of the sixth thin film transistor T6 and the pull-down sustain module 300.
T1A and T1B are driven by the clock signal of the (m-2) th stage clock signal line Ck (m-2), and when T1A and T1B are turned on, the first node Q (n) is charged by the first capacitor C1, driving to turn on T7.
In the case where T7 is turned on, if the voltage of the clock signal of the mth stage clock signal line Ckm changes from the low potential to the high potential, the second terminal of T7, i.e., the output terminal Gout, changes to the high potential in synchronization. Gout is input to the panel in AA area to drive the corresponding Pixel TFT to be opened, so that the Pixel is charged with the correct source voltage.
Since the first node q (n) is kept at the high voltage level by the first capacitor C1, the output of the second terminal Gout of T7 in the pull-up/down module 200 can be driven to the low voltage level, so as to effectively pull down the Gout voltage level.
Since Gout is connected to the first low level signal through the pull-down maintaining module 300, the pull-down maintaining module 300 can continuously pull down Gout after the GOA unit is operated, so that Gout is effectively kept at a low level.
In one embodiment, the pull-down sustain module 300 includes a third thin film transistor and a fifth thin film transistor, wherein gates of the third thin film transistor and the fifth thin film transistor are connected to the first node, a first terminal of the third thin film transistor is connected to the fourth node, a second terminal of the third thin film transistor is connected to the third node, a first terminal of the fifth thin film transistor is connected to the fifth node, and a second terminal of the fifth thin film transistor is connected to the third node;

The fifth node is a common node of the second terminal of the fourth thin film transistor T4, the first terminal of the fifth thin film transistor T5, and the gate of the eighth thin film transistor T8.
In the process of the clock signal from high level to low level to high level provided by the m-2 th level clock signal line Ck (m-2), the potential of the first node q (n) is in three stages of charge-sustain-discharge, and the discharge loop is that the first node q (n) pulls down the charge of the first node q (n) to low level through T1B, T1A and T8 of the previous level GOA unit.
After the GOA unit finishes working, the low potential must be continuously input to the Pixel TFT, so the circuit uses the pull-down maintaining module 300 to continuously maintain the low potential of Gout. At this time, the working principle mainly utilizes the periodic clock signal and the coupling capacitor to drive the fourth thin film transistor T4 to generate the switching signal, which can effectively transmit the clock signal of the mth clock signal line Ckm to the fifth node p (n), and at the same time, because the fifth node discharge path is only provided with the fifth thin film transistor T5, except that the first node is pulled to the low potential when the GOA unit normally works, the first node is pulled to the high potential, the high potential can be effectively maintained in the rest of the time, so the Gout potential can be continuously pulled down through the eighth thin film transistor T8, and at the same time, the first node can also be continuously maintained at the low potential through the T1A, the T1B and the eighth thin film transistor T8.
The number of GOA TFTs and the number of busline are reduced by the combination of the TFT functional modules, and the layout space of the GOA circuit is effectively reduced. The noise elimination circuit is designed by using the periodic clock signal CK and the capacitive coupling effect, so that the TFT Stress can be effectively reduced, and the reliability of the panel is improved.

The working principle of the present application is illustrated by taking fig. 8 as an example:
in the non-Touch (Touch screen) phase:
the G (n-2) or GSP signal and the clock signal provided by the m-2 th clock signal line Ck (m-2) are simultaneously changed from low level to high level, at this time, the G (n-2) or GSP signal charges the first node q (n) through the first capacitor C1, at this time, T3 and T5 are also turned on, the fifth node p (n) is low level, and at this time, the touch scan signal Tp is a low level signal, so T12A and T50 are both in off state, T7 is turned on, and the output of Gout is the low level clock signal provided by the m-2 th clock signal line Ckm.
The first node q (n) stops charging, and when the clock signal supplied from the m-th stage clock signal line Ckm changes from low level to high level, the Gout output also changes from low level to high level.
When the clock signal provided by the mth stage clock signal line Ckm changes from high level to low level, the first node q (n) still maintains high level, so the Gout output changes from high level to low level, and the Gout pull-down (i.e. output low level) can be maintained by using the thin film transistors T3, T4, T5, T8 and the second capacitor C2 in the pull-down maintaining module and the clock signal provided by the mth stage clock signal line Ckm.
In the process of the clock signal provided by the m-2 stage clock signal line Ck (m-2) from the high level to the low level to the high level, the potential of the first node q (n) is in three stages of charging, maintaining and discharging. The discharging loop pulls the charge at the first node q (n) to a low level through T1B, T1A, and T8 of the previous GOA cell.
In the non-Touch stage, the Touch scan signal Tp is at a low level.
In Touch stage:
when the panel Touch sensor is started, the Touch scanning signal Tp changes from low level to high level, the thin film transistor T50 is turned on, the low level signal of Gout changes from DC signal to AC signal same as Touch, and Gout outputs AC signal with same period as Touch. By using the T50 and TP signal in combination with VGL coupling signal, the same AC signal as Touch sensor is outputted, so that Touch sensor Loading can be reduced and Touch sensitivity can be increased.
Stopping the pit area: the first node q (n) of the GOA is at a high voltage, the touch scan signal Tp is transmitted to the Drain terminal of T1B via T12A and T12B, and both ends (source and Drain) of T1B are at a high voltage, so Vgs is much smaller than Vth, thereby reducing the risk of leakage at the first node q (n).
Non-pit-stopping area: the first node q (n) is low, and T12B is turned off, so the touch scan signal Tp cannot be transmitted into T1B, and the normal operation of the circuit is not affected.
And recovering the conventional GOA circuit driving after the Touch stage is finished.
The special GOA circuit for the Incell utilizes T50 and a VGL coupling signal matched with a TP signal to drive a panel to keep the same coupling with a Touch Sensor in the Gout output of a Touch stage, and Touch Sensor Loading is reduced.
The pull-down control module is driven by a periodic clock signal to have the pull-down and pull-down maintaining functions of the first node q (n), and the pull-down and pull-down maintaining functions of the first node q (n) are compatible by the T8.
The GOA circuits designed by the prior art are all required by large-size panels, so that the GOA circuits have more TFTs, the common circuits have 18 to 20 TFTs, and the unipolar GOA circuits have more TFTs, so that the circuit design layout space is larger, and the requirements of small and medium-sized narrow frames cannot be met. The GOA circuit successfully and effectively reduces the number of Busline wires and the number of TFTs (thin film transistors) by utilizing the collocation of the periodic CLK clock signal and the TFT device required by the original design and reducing two DC signal lines (LC1 and LC2) and one VSS signal line, thereby successfully achieving the purpose of reducing the circuit layout area and being suitable for narrow-frame panels.
Driving Vgs < Vth with the pull-up and pull-down control modules T1A, T1B, T12A, T12B reduces the risk of leakage at the first node q (n) of the GOA cell in Touch phase.
The application also provides a display panel, which comprises a display module and the GOA circuit of any one of the display module and the GOA circuit; the GOA circuit is electrically connected with the display module and used for driving the display module to emit light.
