Description

Technical Field

Background
In the conventional gate driving circuit (as shown in fig. 1), the capacitor C3 is often used To maintain the gate potential of the pull-down output transistor To 2. However, when the pull-down output transistor To2 is a P-type transistor, the voltage difference between the source and the gate is smaller than the threshold voltage, so that the voltage loss is caused when the conventional gate driving circuit outputs the gate control signal Scan. That is, when the gate potential of the pull-down output transistor To2 is l+|vth|, and the drain potential is low, the source (i.e., the signal output terminal OUT) of the pull-down output transistor To2 outputs a potential l+2|vth| that satisfies the conduction condition of Vgs < Vth, so that the pull-down output transistor To2 is turned on, and thus the voltage loss of 2|vth| is output and the voltage corresponding To VGL cannot be directly output (i.e., as shown in fig. 2, the output waveform corresponds To the tail with l+2|vth|, and the output waveform can output the voltage corresponding To VGL only when the clock signal XCK is low).

The reset transistor Tin is turned off according To the reset control signal Rst, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off according To the first clock signal CK, and the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the double gate seventh transistor T7, the thirteenth transistor T13, the fourteenth transistor T14, and the pull-down output transistor To2 remain turned off.
Third stage t3: the first clock signal CK and the pull-down control signal In are low, and the second clock signal XCK and the reset control signal Rst are high.
The first transistor T1, the third transistor T3 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and the pull-down control signal In is transmitted To the control terminals of the pull-down output transistor To2, the thirteenth transistor T13 and the fourteenth transistor T14 through the first transistor T1, so that the potential of the control terminal of the pull-down output transistor To2 becomes the sum of the first voltage and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 (i.e., l+|vth_t3|). The third transistor T3 is turned on to turn on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6, and the potential of the control terminal of the fifth transistor T5 becomes the sum of the first voltage and the threshold voltage of the fourth transistor T4. Since the P-type transistor needs To be turned on under the condition that the gate-source voltage difference is smaller than the threshold voltage, when the potential of the control terminal of the pull-down output transistor To2 is the sum of the first voltage and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, the potential of the signal output terminal Out needs To be 2 times the sum of the first voltage and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 (i.e., l+2|vth_t3|). The signal output Out is thus changed from the second voltage of the second phase t2 to l+2|vth_t3| of the third phase t3, so that the signal output Out has a voltage variation of l+2|vth_t3| -H. The signal output terminal Out has a voltage variation amount coupled To the control terminal of the pull-down output transistor To2 through parasitic capacitance between the gate and source of the pull-down output transistor To2, so that the potential of the control terminal of the pull-down output transistor To2 is pulled down To a lower potential from l+|vth_t3|, thereby making the pull-down output transistor To2 fully turned on, and the first voltage can be output To the signal output terminal Out through the pull-down output transistor To2, so that the gate control signal Scan output by the gate driving circuit bypasses the voltage loss of 2|vth| when being converted from the second voltage To the output of the first voltage. The fourteenth transistor T14 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, so that the tenth transistor T10 and the twelfth transistor T12 are turned on. The twelfth transistor T12 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on such that the seventh transistor T7 is turned off. The thirteenth transistor T13 is turned on such that the second voltage is transmitted To the control terminal of the pull-up output transistor To1 To control the pull-up output transistor To1 To be turned off. Where H represents a voltage value corresponding to the first voltage, L represents a voltage value corresponding to the second voltage, and vth_t3 represents a threshold voltage of the third transistor T3.
Fourth stage t4: the pull-down control signal In is low, and the first clock signal CK, the second clock signal XCK, and the reset control signal Rst are high.
The first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off according to the first clock signal CK, and the eleventh transistor T11 is turned off according to the second clock signal XCK. The first capacitor C1 maintains the pull-up output transistor To1 To be turned off, the thirteenth transistor T13 and the pull-down output transistor To2 To be turned on, the first voltage is transmitted To the signal output terminal Out, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the tenth transistor T10, the fourteenth transistor T14 To be turned on, the first clock signal CK charges the second capacitor C2 To raise the potentials of the control terminals of the tenth transistor T10 and the twelfth transistor T12, and the second clock signal XCK is transmitted To the control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 via the sixth transistor T6 To turn off the seventh transistor T7. The reset transistor Tin is turned off according to the reset control signal Rst.
In the fifth stage t5, the second clock signal XCK and the pull-down control signal In are low, and the first clock signal CK and the reset control signal Rst are high.
The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are kept on (i.e., the potential of the control terminal of the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 is the sum l+|vth_t4|) of the first voltage and the threshold voltage of the fourth transistor T4), so the second clock signal XCK makes the potential of the control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 become l+2|vth_t4| through the sixth transistor T6, and thus the voltage variation amount of the control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 generated by the high level H1 of the fourth stage T4 becomes l+|vth_t4| of the fifth stage T5 becomes l+2|vth_t4| -H1. The voltage variation of the control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 couples the potentials of the control terminals of the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 through the gate-source parasitic capacitance and the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the seventh transistor T7, so that the potentials of the control terminals of the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are changed from the original l+|vth_t4 to a lower potential, and then the potential of the control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is further reduced from l+2|vth_t4|, and then the potentials of the control terminals of the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are further reduced again through the coupling of the gate-source parasitic capacitance and the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the seventh transistor T7. Since the control terminal and the input terminal of the fifth transistor are shorted, the control terminal and the input terminal of the fifth transistor T5 are equipotential, and the potential of the control terminal of the pull-down output transistor To2 can be coupled through the gate-source parasitic capacitance and the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the fifth transistor T5, so that the potential of the control terminal of the pull-down output transistor To2 is further reduced, thereby ensuring that the signal output terminal Out can stably output a low level for a long time.
