Description

移位暫存裝置及其電壓調整裝置 Shift register device and voltage adjusting device thereof

本發明是有關於一種移位暫存裝置及其電壓調整裝置,且特別是有關於一種可降低漏電流的移位暫存裝置及其電壓調整裝置。 The present invention relates to a shift register device and a voltage adjusting device thereof, and more particularly to a shift register device capable of reducing leakage current and a voltage adjusting device thereof.

目前閘極驅動電路結構(gate driver on array;GOA)顯示器多由薄膜電晶體(thin film transistor;TFT)所構成。其中,閘極驅動電路結構等效上為移位暫存器。 At present, the gate driver on array (GOA) display is mostly composed of a thin film transistor (TFT). The gate driving circuit structure is equivalent to a shift register.

由於薄膜電晶體的元件特性,當薄膜電晶體的汲極與源極間受到較大偏壓VDS時,漏電流將對應增加,而可能導致閘極驅動電路結構的輸出發生異常。為了改善此現象,習知的閘極驅動電路使用雙閘薄膜電晶體(double-gate thin-film transistor)中串接的兩個薄膜電晶體來均分電路運作時可能承受的較大偏壓VDS,藉以減少漏電流。其中,這兩個薄膜電晶體的控制端彼此相連,且其中一個薄膜電晶體以其源極與另一個薄膜電晶體的汲極相連,而此連接點(以下以第三端稱之)在雙閘薄膜電晶體關 閉時為浮接。然而,由於第三端的電壓準位往往為未知,故從圖1可看出,第三端的波形F1明顯低於驅動端的波形Q1。換言之,習知的閘極驅動電路其抑制漏電流的效果仍有限。 Due to the element characteristics of the thin film transistor, when the drain and the source of the thin film transistor are subjected to a large bias voltage VDS, the leakage current will increase correspondingly, which may cause an abnormality in the output of the gate driving circuit structure. In order to improve this phenomenon, the conventional gate driving circuit uses two thin film transistors connected in series in a double-gate thin-film transistor to share a large bias VDS which may be subjected to operation of the circuit. In order to reduce leakage current. Wherein the control ends of the two thin film transistors are connected to each other, and one of the thin film transistors has its source connected to the drain of the other thin film transistor, and the connection point (hereinafter referred to as the third end) is in the double Gate thin film transistor When it is closed, it is floating. However, since the voltage level of the third terminal is often unknown, it can be seen from FIG. 1 that the waveform F1 of the third end is significantly lower than the waveform Q1 of the driving end. In other words, the conventional gate drive circuit has a limited effect of suppressing leakage current.
