Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
In the using process of the OLED panel, the temperature of the screen body is increased due to the current heating effect, so that the device is aged, and the phenomenon of display brightness attenuation of the screen body occurs.
The conventional driving design scheme is shown in fig. 4, the pixel switches of one stage are controlled in cascade by the left and right groups of gate driving circuits, and the progressive light emission of the pixels is realized through the progressive transmission of the GOA signals.
According to the conventional design scheme, after the GOA circuit is manufactured, the resistance on a Clock (CK) signal line is a fixed value; the GOA circuit controls the timing of the pixel emission without having an adaptive compensation for the pixel emission intensity.
The simulation shows that, as shown in fig. 5, the load size on the Clock (CK) signal line (r_ck is the equivalent resistance of the clock CK signal line) affects the Delay time (Pscan Delay) of the GOA output signal (such as the data writing control signal Pscan), and the Delay of the GOA signal affects the current of the pixel circuit, and as the Delay (Pscan Delay) of the GOA output signal increases, the current on the OLED also increases, so that the current flowing through the light emitting device can be controlled by changing the load on the CK signal line, thereby realizing the control of the light emitting intensity. The Delay time (e.g., pscan Delay) of the GOA output signal may be the time when the GOA output signal changes from Δv by 10% to Δv by 90%, where VGH is high, VGL is low, and Δv is the voltage difference of the high VGH minus the low VGL.
The OLED product has a major problem of lifetime, that is, as the lighting time of the screen increases, the brightness of the screen gradually decays, which affects the user experience. OLED lifetime is an important index for evaluating products; the lifetime is defined as the time required for the initial 95% reduction in brightness. The Pscan Delay can be increased by increasing the resistance on the CK signal line, so that the brightness of the display screen body is improved.
Further research shows that the grid driving circuit controls the pixel luminous time sequence and has a certain influence on the pixel luminous intensity, namely, the pixel luminous intensity can be changed to a certain extent by adjusting the grid driving circuit.
The embodiment of the application provides a gate driving circuit, as shown in fig. 1, which is applied to an OLED display panel 1000, wherein the gate driving circuit comprises a wire inlet unit 102 and a plurality of cascaded GOA driving units 10, and each stage of GOA driving unit 10 comprises a Pscan signal control circuit 101;
the incoming line unit 102 is arranged with a first clock signal line unit, and the first clock signal line unit comprises at least one clock signal line;
the Pscan signal control circuit 101 is connected to the first clock signal line unit, and is configured to receive the data write control signal Pscan transmitted by the previous-stage GOA driving unit 10, output the data write control signal Pscan of the present stage, and input the data write control signal Pscan of the present stage to the next-stage GOA driving unit 10 under control of the first clock signal;
the first clock signal line unit is provided with a first load adjusting portion, and the first load adjusting portion is configured to adjust a first load of the first clock signal line unit, where the first load and a temperature of a screen of the OLED display panel 1000 are in a positive correlation.
According to the gate driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the application, the delay time of the data writing control signal Pscan of each stage of GOA driving unit 10 is regulated according to the first load positive correlation, so that brightness compensation is realized.

In a specific embodiment, the thermistor used is a positive temperature system thermistor, and the resistance of the first thermistor 11 and the second thermistor 12 increases with the height of the temperature.
According to the grid driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the application, the delay of the data writing control signal Pscan can be increased under the conditions of increasing the lighting time and increasing the temperature of the screen body, so that the brightness of the display screen body is improved, and automatic brightness compensation is realized.
In some embodiments, in order to equalize the loads of the first clock signal line CK1 and the second clock signal line CK2, the resistance value of the first thermistor 11 and the resistance value of the second thermistor 12 are the same, and preferably, the performance parameters of both the thermistors are the same.
In a specific embodiment, the resistance of the thermistor can be selected through simulation. If the influence of Pscan Delay on the brightness is within 5%, the Pscan Delay variation amplitude is 0.05us, and the resistance value of the thermistor is determined by considering the self capacitance of the first clock signal line CK1 and the second clock signal line CK2, the material parameters of the first clock signal line CK1 and the second clock signal line CK2, the temperature variation amplitude and the Pscan Delay variation amplitude. In some embodiments, the resistance of the first thermistor 11 and the resistance of the second thermistor 12 range from 100 Ω to 200 Ω.
In some embodiments, the first and second clock signal lines CK1 and CK2 are connected between the display driving chip 30 and each stage GOA driving unit 10, and the first and second clock signal lines CK1 and CK2 are connected to each GOA driving unit 10 via the first and second thermistors 11 and 12, respectively.
As shown in fig. 2, the incoming unit 102 is arranged with a second clock signal line unit, the second clock signal line unit is connected to each stage of GOA driving units 10, each GOA driving unit 10 further includes an Nscan signal control circuit 103, and the Nscan signal control circuit 103 is connected to the second clock signal line unit for outputting a row scanning signal Nscan.

The third thermistor R13 and the fourth thermistor R14 are negative temperature coefficient thermistors, that is, the thermistors decrease in resistance as the temperature of the panel increases.
In some embodiments, a schematic diagram of the control circuit of the row scan signal Nscan in the gate driving circuit is shown in fig. 13.
Under long-time operation, as shown in fig. 13, the gate Q of the transistor T9 is negative, the threshold voltage Vth of the transistor T9 is negative, vgs (voltage drop between the gate and the source of the transistor) is negative, the threshold voltage Vth is negative, so that the VGL output device out is poor, the transistor T9 is turned on and poor, the output is raised, the step voltage of the row scan signal Nscan is raised, the voltage of the Q point (the gate of the driving transistor T1) in the pixel driving circuit is raised, that is, vq is raised, the driving transistor T1 in the pixel driving circuit is turned on and poor, the brightness is reduced, and the service life of the screen is poor.
