雙向掃描閘極驅動模組 Bidirectional scanning gate drive module

本發明係關於一種閘極驅動模組,尤其是關於一種雙向掃描閘極驅動模組。 The invention relates to a gate driving module, in particular to a bidirectional scanning gate driving module.

按,薄膜電晶體顯示器已成為現在顯示科技產品的主流,尤其應用於手機上有輕巧及方便攜帶等特點。在面板操作時,每個閘極驅動電路會接到各自的掃描線上,而掃描線會依序送出脈衝訊號,此脈衝會將掃描線上所有電晶體打開,以便將液晶電壓資料從資料驅動電路送入液晶電容。如此,控制液晶穿透度而達到不同亮度的顯示效果,此即為閘極驅動電路的功能。 According to the thin film transistor display, it has become the mainstream of current display technology products, especially for the light weight and convenient carrying of mobile phones. During the operation of the panel, each gate drive circuit is connected to its own scan line, and the scan line will sequentially send a pulse signal, which will turn on all the transistors on the scan line to send the liquid crystal voltage data from the data drive circuit. Into the liquid crystal capacitor. In this way, the liquid crystal transmittance is controlled to achieve a display effect of different brightness, which is the function of the gate driving circuit.

然而液晶電壓資料傳輸完成後,掃描線必須經由放電路徑放電,並將面板處的電晶體關閉,而為了達到需要的掃描線放電速度,放電路徑之電晶體的尺寸必須要大,此舉會造成閘極驅動電路的佈局面積增加。 However, after the liquid crystal voltage data transmission is completed, the scanning line must be discharged through the discharge path, and the transistor at the panel is turned off, and in order to achieve the required scanning line discharge speed, the size of the transistor of the discharge path must be large, which will result in The layout area of the gate drive circuit is increased.

再者,一般閘極驅動電路會具有一個隨時產生開啟電流的電晶體,所以此電晶體會提升整體功率的消耗。此外,於高解析度面板上,每一條掃描線的充電時間較短,所以必須降低對掃描線充電之充電路徑上的負載,以減少充電路徑上的負載對充放電時的上升時間與下降時間的提升。 Furthermore, the general gate drive circuit will have a transistor that generates an on-state current at any time, so the transistor will increase the overall power consumption. In addition, on the high-resolution panel, the charging time of each scanning line is short, so the load on the charging path for charging the scanning line must be reduced to reduce the rise time and fall time of the load on the charging path for charging and discharging. Improvement.

鑒於上述問題,本發明提出一種雙向掃描閘極驅動模組的技術。 In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a technique of bidirectional scanning gate driving module.

為使 貴審查委員對本發明之特徵及所達成之功效有更進一步之瞭解與認識,謹佐以實施例及配合圖式之說明,說明如後:請參閱第一A圖,其係為本發明之閘極驅動模組掃描時之一實施例的示意圖。如圖所示,本發明的雙向掃描閘極驅動模組具有多級閘極驅動電路1-3,且每一級閘極驅動電路1-3具有多個掃描電路並分別輸出兩個掃描訊號S1~S6。本發明的第一閘極驅動電路1接收一起始訊號S0、一第一時脈訊號CLK1與一第二時脈訊號CLK2而產生一第一掃描訊號S1與一第二掃描訊號S2,第一掃描訊號S1與第二掃描訊號S2透過複數掃描線控制複數像素,其中第二掃描訊號S2亦是一第二閘極驅動電路2的起始訊號,同理第二閘極驅動電路2輸出的掃描訊號S4亦是第三閘極驅動電路3的起始訊號。換言之,閘極驅動電路1若非第一級時,閘極驅動電路1同樣會接收前一級閘極驅動電路產生的掃描訊號作為起始訊號S0。 In order to enable the reviewing committee to have a better understanding and understanding of the features and functions of the present invention, the following is a description of the embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and the following is a description of the present invention. A schematic diagram of one embodiment of a gate drive module scanning. As shown in the figure, the bidirectional scanning gate driving module of the present invention has a multi-level gate driving circuit 1-3, and each stage gate driving circuit 1-3 has a plurality of scanning circuits and respectively outputs two scanning signals S1~ S6. The first gate driving circuit 1 of the present invention receives a start signal S0, a first clock signal CLK1 and a second clock signal CLK2 to generate a first scan signal S1 and a second scan signal S2, the first scan The signal S1 and the second scan signal S2 control the plurality of pixels through the plurality of scan lines, wherein the second scan signal S2 is also the start signal of the second gate drive circuit 2, and the scan signal output by the second gate drive circuit 2 is similarly S4 is also the start signal of the third gate driving circuit 3. In other words, if the gate driving circuit 1 is not the first stage, the gate driving circuit 1 similarly receives the scanning signal generated by the previous stage gate driving circuit as the starting signal S0.

請參閱第一B圖,其係為本發明之閘極驅動模組掃描時之另一實施例的示意圖。如圖所示,多級閘極驅動電路4-6串接且每一級閘極驅動電路4-6分別輸出兩個掃描訊號S7~S12,再者,閘極驅動電路4-6同樣會接受前一級閘極驅動電路的掃描訊號作為起始 訊號,以產生掃描訊號掃描複數畫素。然而,第一B圖實施例與第一A圖實施例差異在於閘極驅動電路輸出掃描訊號的順序不同,第一A圖實施例的輸出順序為從第一級閘極驅動電路1至第三級閘極驅動電路3,第一B圖實施例的輸出順序為從第六級閘極驅動電路6至第四級閘極驅動電路4,兩個實施例輸出掃描訊號的順序相反。換言之,本發明的閘極驅動模組可以對面板雙向掃描,其中第一A圖實施例可以稱為順向掃描,而第一B圖實施例稱為反向掃描。 Please refer to FIG. 1B, which is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the gate driving module of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the multi-level gate driving circuit 4-6 is connected in series and each stage of the gate driving circuit 4-6 outputs two scanning signals S7~S12, respectively, and the gate driving circuit 4-6 is also accepted before The scan signal of the first gate drive circuit is used as the start Signal to generate a scan signal to scan a complex pixel. However, the difference between the first B-picture embodiment and the first A-picture embodiment is that the order of the gate driving circuit outputting the scanning signals is different, and the output order of the first A-picture embodiment is from the first-stage gate driving circuit 1 to the third. The stage gate drive circuit 3, the output sequence of the first B embodiment is from the sixth stage gate drive circuit 6 to the fourth stage gate drive circuit 4, and the two embodiments output scan signals in reverse order. In other words, the gate drive module of the present invention can scan the panel bidirectionally, wherein the first A-picture embodiment can be referred to as a forward scan and the first B-picture embodiment is referred to as a reverse scan.

請參閱第二圖,其係為本發明第一A圖之閘極驅動電路之一實施例的電路圖。如圖所示,第一級閘極驅動電路1具有兩個掃描電路,一第一掃描電路包含一設定單元10與一驅動單元11,一第二掃描電路包含一設定單元12與一驅動單元13。設定單元10接收一順向訊號VDDF與一起始訊號S0,起始訊號S0控制設定單元10以使順向訊號VDDF進行充電而產生一控制訊號a1。驅動單元11耦接設定單元10並接收控制訊號a1與第一時脈訊號CLK1,控制訊號a1及第一時脈訊號CLK1控制驅動單元11產生一第一掃描訊號S1。換言之,第一掃描電路接收順向訊號VDDF與第一時脈訊號CLK1,並依據順向訊號VDDF與第一時脈訊號CLK1產生第一掃描訊號S1。 Please refer to the second figure, which is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the gate driving circuit of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the first stage gate driving circuit 1 has two scanning circuits. The first scanning circuit includes a setting unit 10 and a driving unit 11. The second scanning circuit includes a setting unit 12 and a driving unit 13. . The setting unit 10 receives a forward signal VDDF and a start signal S0. The start signal S0 controls the setting unit 10 to charge the forward signal VDDF to generate a control signal a1. The driving unit 11 is coupled to the setting unit 10 and receives the control signal a1 and the first clock signal CLK1. The control signal a1 and the first clock signal CLK1 control the driving unit 11 to generate a first scanning signal S1. In other words, the first scan circuit receives the forward signal VDDF and the first clock signal CLK1, and generates the first scan signal S1 according to the forward signal VDDF and the first clock signal CLK1.

第二掃描電路的設定單元12同樣會接收其他起始訊號A0與順向訊號VDDF而產生一控制訊號a2。驅動單元13耦接設定單元12,並接收控制訊號a2與第二時脈訊號CLK2,控制訊號a2控制驅動單元13依據第二時脈訊號CLK2產生一第二掃描訊號S2。換言之,第二掃描電路接收順向訊號VDDF與第二時脈訊號CLK2,並依據順向訊號VDDF與第二時脈訊號CLK2產生第二掃描訊號S2。如此本發明的第 一級閘極驅動電路1輸出第一掃描訊號S1與第二掃描訊號S2。 The setting unit 12 of the second scanning circuit also receives the other start signal A0 and the forward signal VDDF to generate a control signal a2. The driving unit 13 is coupled to the setting unit 12 and receives the control signal a2 and the second clock signal CLK2. The control signal a2 controls the driving unit 13 to generate a second scanning signal S2 according to the second clock signal CLK2. In other words, the second scan circuit receives the forward signal VDDF and the second clock signal CLK2, and generates the second scan signal S2 according to the forward signal VDDF and the second clock signal CLK2. So the first aspect of the invention The first gate driving circuit 1 outputs the first scanning signal S1 and the second scanning signal S2.

基於上述,順向訊號VDDF先對第一掃描電路充電以產生第一掃描訊號S1,爾後順向訊號VDDF再對第二掃描電路充電以產生第二掃描訊號S2,如此順向訊號VDDF的充電路徑中無須同時對第一掃描電路與第二掃描電路充電,而可以使充電速度提升。換言之,本發明未將第一掃描電路的充電點(產生控制訊號a1之處)與第二掃描電路的充電點(產生控制訊號a2之處)連接在一起,而降低順向訊號VDDF之充電路徑中的負載。第二級閘極驅動電路2與第三級閘極驅動電路3的運作方式與第一級閘極驅動電路1相同,於此不再複述。 Based on the above, the forward signal VDDF first charges the first scan circuit to generate the first scan signal S1, and then the forward signal VDDF charges the second scan circuit to generate the second scan signal S2, so that the charging path of the forward signal VDDF There is no need to charge the first scanning circuit and the second scanning circuit at the same time, and the charging speed can be increased. In other words, the present invention does not connect the charging point of the first scanning circuit (where the control signal a1 is generated) to the charging point of the second scanning circuit (where the control signal a2 is generated), and reduces the charging path of the forward signal VDDF. The load in . The second stage gate driving circuit 2 and the third stage gate driving circuit 3 operate in the same manner as the first stage gate driving circuit 1, and will not be described again here.

復參閱第二圖,第一掃描電路的設定單元10包含一第一設定元件M1與一第二設定元件M2,第一設定元件M1具有一輸入端、一控制端及一輸出端,輸入端接收順向訊號VDDF,控制端接收起始訊號S0,輸出端耦接驅動單元11,第一設定元件M1依據起始訊號S0及順向訊號VDDF產生控制訊號a1。第二設定元件M2具有一輸入端、一控制端及一輸出端,輸入端接收反向訊號VDDR,控制端接收一第二級閘極驅動電路2輸出的一第三掃描訊號S3,輸出端耦接驅動單元11,第二設定元件M2依據第三掃描訊號S3及反向訊號VDDR設定控制訊號a1。此外,順向訊號為一第一準位,反向訊號為一第二準位,第一準位高於第二準位。 Referring to the second figure, the setting unit 10 of the first scanning circuit includes a first setting component M1 and a second setting component M2. The first setting component M1 has an input terminal, a control terminal and an output terminal, and the input terminal receives The forward signal VDDF, the control terminal receives the start signal S0, the output terminal is coupled to the driving unit 11, and the first setting component M1 generates the control signal a1 according to the start signal S0 and the forward signal VDDF. The second setting component M2 has an input terminal, a control terminal and an output terminal. The input terminal receives the reverse signal VDDR, and the control terminal receives a third scan signal S3 outputted by the second-stage gate driving circuit 2, and the output terminal is coupled. Connected to the driving unit 11, the second setting component M2 sets the control signal a1 according to the third scanning signal S3 and the reverse signal VDDR. In addition, the forward signal is a first level, the reverse signal is a second level, and the first level is higher than the second level.

再者,第一掃描電路的驅動單元11包含一驅動元件M3與一電容器C1,驅動元件M3可以為一電晶體,其具有一輸入端、一控制端及一輸出端,輸入端接收第一時脈訊號CLK1,控制端耦接設定單元10,輸出端耦接第二級閘極驅動電路2的第一掃描電路,驅動元 件M3依據第一時脈訊號CLK1及控制訊號a1而產生第一掃描訊號S1。電容器C1耦接於驅動元件M3的控制端與輸出端之間,電容器C1依據控制訊號a1及第一時脈訊號CLK1提升第一掃描訊號S1的準位。 Furthermore, the driving unit 11 of the first scanning circuit comprises a driving component M3 and a capacitor C1. The driving component M3 can be a transistor having an input terminal, a control terminal and an output terminal. The signal signal CLK1, the control end is coupled to the setting unit 10, and the output end is coupled to the first scanning circuit of the second stage gate driving circuit 2, and the driving element The piece M3 generates the first scanning signal S1 according to the first clock signal CLK1 and the control signal a1. The capacitor C1 is coupled between the control terminal and the output terminal of the driving component M3. The capacitor C1 boosts the level of the first scanning signal S1 according to the control signal a1 and the first clock signal CLK1.

承接上述,當控制訊號a1未控制驅動元件M3導通時,電容器C1之一第一端的準位為控制訊號a1的準位;當控制訊號a1控制驅動元件M3導通時,電容器C1之一第二端的準位為第一時脈訊號CLK1的準位,而且電容器C1之第一端的準位改為控制訊號a1的準位加上第一時脈訊號CLK1的準位。如此,當第一時脈訊號CLK1為一高準位時,電容器C1的第一端為控制訊號a1的準位加上第一時脈訊號CLK1的準位,即電容器C1依據控制訊號a1及第一時脈訊號CLK1提升第一掃描訊號S1的準位。 In the above, when the control signal a1 is not controlled, the driving element M3 is turned on, the level of the first end of the capacitor C1 is the level of the control signal a1; when the control signal a1 controls the driving element M3 to be turned on, the capacitor C1 is the second one. The level of the terminal is the level of the first clock signal CLK1, and the level of the first end of the capacitor C1 is changed to the level of the control signal a1 plus the level of the first clock signal CLK1. Thus, when the first clock signal CLK1 is at a high level, the first end of the capacitor C1 is the level of the control signal a1 plus the level of the first clock signal CLK1, that is, the capacitor C1 is controlled according to the control signal a1 and the first The one-time signal CLK1 boosts the level of the first scanning signal S1.

換言之,本發明的驅動元件M3依據第一時脈訊號CLK1驅動第一掃描訊號S1提升至一第三準位,驅動元件M3依據第一時脈訊號CLK1驅動第一掃描訊號S1降低至一第四準位,其中第三準位高於第四準位。如此本發明皆是利用驅動元件M3來提升與降低掃描訊號S1的準位,無須額外設置降低掃描訊號之準位(放電)的電晶體,而可以降低閘極驅動電路佈局的面積。 In other words, the driving component M3 of the present invention drives the first scanning signal S1 to a third level according to the first clock signal CLK1, and the driving component M3 drives the first scanning signal S1 to a fourth according to the first clock signal CLK1. Level, wherein the third level is higher than the fourth level. Therefore, in the present invention, the driving element M3 is used to raise and lower the level of the scanning signal S1, and the transistor for lowering the level of the scanning signal (discharge) is not required, and the area of the gate driving circuit layout can be reduced.

The anti-noise circuit is coupled to the first scan circuit and the second scan circuit, and receives the first clock signal CLK1 or the second clock signal CLK2 to reduce noise of the first scan circuit and noise of the second scan circuit. The control unit 14 receives the first clock signal CLK1, the second clock signal CLK2, the control signal a1 generated by the first scanning circuit, and the control signal generated by the second scanning circuit. A2, and the control signal a1 generated by the first scanning circuit and the control signal a2 generated by the second scanning circuit control the anti-noise circuit to not enable anti-noise operation, and the first clock signal CLK1 and the first clock signal CLK2 control the anti-jamming The circuit is enabled for anti-noise operation.

再者,控制單元14更包含一保護單元M15,其具有一輸入端、一控制端及一輸出端,輸入端耦接第一電晶體M5、第二電晶體M4、第三電晶體M10與第四電晶體M9,控制端接收一第三時脈訊號 CLK3,輸出端耦接參考準位REF,保護單元M15依據第三時脈訊號CLK3而週期性的將第一電晶體M5、第二電晶體M4、第三電晶體M10與第四電晶體M9的控制端維持於參考準位REF。基於上述,本發明之第一閘極驅動電路1的設計未包含一個隨時產生開啟電流的電晶體,而可以減少功率消耗。 Furthermore, the control unit 14 further includes a protection unit M15 having an input end, a control end and an output end. The input end is coupled to the first transistor M5, the second transistor M4, the third transistor M10 and the first Four transistor M9, the control terminal receives a third clock signal CLK3, the output terminal is coupled to the reference level REF, and the protection unit M15 periodically periodically switches the first transistor M5, the second transistor M4, the third transistor M10, and the fourth transistor M9 according to the third clock signal CLK3. The control terminal is maintained at the reference level REF. Based on the above, the design of the first gate driving circuit 1 of the present invention does not include a transistor that generates an on-current at any time, and power consumption can be reduced.

承接上述,控制單元14包含複數電晶體M11~M14,控制訊號a1控制電晶體M13導通時,控制訊號C3為參考準位REF,因此抗雜訊電路未啟用抗雜訊工作,換言之,控制訊號a1控制抗雜訊電路未啟用抗雜訊工作。當控制訊號a1控制電晶體M13截止時,若第一時脈訊號CLK1控制電晶體M11導通,則控制訊號C3為第一時脈訊號CLK1的準位,如此抗雜訊電路啟用抗雜訊工作,換言之,控制訊號a1及第一時脈訊號CLK1控制抗雜訊電路啟用抗雜訊工作。此外,控制訊號a2與第二時脈訊號CLK2的運作方式與控制訊號a1及第一時脈訊號CLK1相同,於此不再複述。 In the above, the control unit 14 includes a plurality of transistors M11~M14. When the control signal a1 controls the transistor M13 to be turned on, the control signal C3 is the reference level REF. Therefore, the anti-noise circuit does not enable anti-noise operation, in other words, the control signal a1. Anti-noise operation is not enabled by the control anti-noise circuit. When the control signal a1 controls the transistor M13 to be turned off, if the first clock signal CLK1 controls the transistor M11 to be turned on, the control signal C3 is at the level of the first clock signal CLK1, so that the anti-noise circuit enables anti-noise operation. In other words, the control signal a1 and the first clock signal CLK1 control the anti-noise circuit to enable anti-noise operation. In addition, the control signal a2 and the second clock signal CLK2 operate in the same manner as the control signal a1 and the first clock signal CLK1, and are not repeated here.

基於上述,本發明的第一掃描電路與第二掃描電路共用一個抗雜訊電路,而減少抗雜訊電路的佈局面積。再者,本發明的抗雜訊電路會將驅動單元11、13的控制端與輸出端進行重置而維持於參考準位REF,如此雙向閘極驅動電路1可以減少重置元件的設置,而亦可以縮減佈局面積。換言之,本發明的抗雜訊電路同時做到抗雜訊與重置的功能。故,本發明可縮減閘極驅動電路之多處重置元件的佈局面積,即本發明同時將雙輸出閘極驅動電路所需的抗雜訊電路合併至一級閘極驅動電路內,而有效縮減抗雜訊電路所需要的元件。 Based on the above, the first scanning circuit and the second scanning circuit of the present invention share an anti-noise circuit to reduce the layout area of the anti-noise circuit. Furthermore, the anti-noise circuit of the present invention resets the control terminal and the output terminal of the driving units 11, 13 and maintains the reference level REF, so that the bidirectional gate driving circuit 1 can reduce the setting of the reset component. It is also possible to reduce the layout area. In other words, the anti-noise circuit of the present invention simultaneously performs the functions of anti-noise and reset. Therefore, the present invention can reduce the layout area of the plurality of reset components of the gate driving circuit, that is, the invention simultaneously combines the anti-noise circuit required for the dual output gate driving circuit into the first-level gate driving circuit, and effectively reduces The components required for anti-noise circuits.

請參閱第三圖,其係為本發明之順向掃描時閘極驅動電路之一實 施例的時序圖。此時序圖為本發明第三級閘極驅動電路3的時序圖,其餘第一級閘極驅動電路1與第二級閘極驅動電路2的操作時序對應第三級閘極驅動電路3的時序圖。 Please refer to the third figure, which is one of the gate driving circuits in the forward scanning of the present invention. Timing diagram of the example. The timing chart is a timing diagram of the third-stage gate driving circuit 3 of the present invention, and the operation timings of the remaining first-stage gate driving circuit 1 and the second-stage gate driving circuit 2 correspond to the timing of the third-stage gate driving circuit 3. Figure.

於第一區間T1,第三掃描訊號S3為高準位,且第三掃描訊號S3為第三級閘極驅動電路3的起始訊號,如此第一設定元件M1與電晶體M13為導通狀態;如此,控制訊號a1的準位因順向訊號VDDF的充電而逐漸上升,且因為第一時脈訊號CLK1與第二時脈訊號CLK2為參考準位REF,不會有耦合雜訊,所以控制訊號C3經由電晶體M13放電而為參考準位REF;此時抗雜訊電路未啟用,且第五掃描訊號S5與第一時脈訊號CLK1同樣為參考準位REF。於第二區間T2,控制訊號a1的準位被充電至順向訊號VDDF的準位,再者,第三級閘極驅動電路3的第二掃描電路接收第二級閘極驅動電路2的第四掃描訊號S4,如此控制訊號a2的準位會逐漸提升。 In the first interval T1, the third scanning signal S3 is at a high level, and the third scanning signal S3 is a start signal of the third-stage gate driving circuit 3, such that the first setting element M1 and the transistor M13 are in an on state; In this way, the level of the control signal a1 gradually rises due to the charging of the forward signal VDDF, and since the first clock signal CLK1 and the second clock signal CLK2 are reference levels REF, there is no coupling noise, so the control signal C3 is discharged via the transistor M13 to the reference level REF; at this time, the anti-noise circuit is not enabled, and the fifth scan signal S5 is also the reference level REF as the first clock signal CLK1. In the second interval T2, the level of the control signal a1 is charged to the level of the forward signal VDDF, and the second scanning circuit of the third stage gate driving circuit 3 receives the second stage of the gate driving circuit 2. The four scanning signals S4, such that the level of the control signal a2 will gradually increase.

於第三區間T3,第一時脈訊號CLK1改變為高準位,且經由電容器C1的充電而將控制訊號a1的準位提升為順向訊號VDDF的準位加上第一時脈訊號CLK1的準位,此時第五掃描訊號S5亦可以提升至高準位,第五掃描訊號S5並將掃描線充電至高準位;再者,第五掃描訊號S5會控制第四級閘極驅動電路第一掃描電路,則順向訊號VDDF可以對第四級閘極驅動電路4第一掃描電路充電,其餘運作方式與第三級閘極驅動電路3的第一掃描電路相同,不再複述;此外,控制訊號a2的準位提升至順向訊號VDDF的準位。 In the third interval T3, the first clock signal CLK1 is changed to a high level, and the level of the control signal a1 is raised to the level of the forward signal VDDF via the charging of the capacitor C1, and the first clock signal CLK1 is added. At the same time, the fifth scan signal S5 can also be raised to a high level, the fifth scan signal S5 and the scan line is charged to a high level; further, the fifth scan signal S5 controls the fourth stage gate drive circuit first In the scanning circuit, the forward signal VDDF can charge the first scanning circuit of the fourth-stage gate driving circuit 4, and the remaining operation modes are the same as the first scanning circuit of the third-stage gate driving circuit 3, and are not repeated; The level of the signal a2 is raised to the level of the forward signal VDDF.

於第四區間T4,第一時脈訊號CLK1降低至參考準位REF,則控制訊號a1的準位也降低至順向訊號VDDF的準位,且第五掃描訊號S5同樣降低為參考準位REF;第二時脈訊號CLK2由參考準位REF改變 為高準位,因此控制訊號a2的準位為順向訊號VDDF的準位加上第二時脈訊號CLK2的準位;此時第六掃描訊號S6亦可以提升至高準位並充電掃描線;同理,第六掃描訊號S6會控制下一級閘極驅動電路的第二掃描電路。於第五區間T5,第二時脈訊號CLK2降低為參考準位REF,控制訊號a2的準位亦降低至順向訊號VDDF的準位,且第六掃描訊號S6也降低為參考準位REF;再者,因第三時脈訊號CLK3為高準位,所以第四級閘極驅動電路4的第七掃描訊號S7提升至高準位;此外,第七掃描訊號S7更控制第三級閘極驅動電路3之第一掃描電路的第二設定元件M2,而將控制訊號a1的準位從順向訊號VDDF的準位降低至參考準位REF的準位。 In the fourth interval T4, the first clock signal CLK1 is lowered to the reference level REF, and the level of the control signal a1 is also lowered to the level of the forward signal VDDF, and the fifth scanning signal S5 is also lowered to the reference level REF. The second clock signal CLK2 is changed by the reference level REF The level of the control signal a2 is the level of the forward signal VDDF plus the level of the second clock signal CLK2; at this time, the sixth scanning signal S6 can also be raised to a high level and the scanning line is charged; Similarly, the sixth scanning signal S6 controls the second scanning circuit of the next-stage gate driving circuit. In the fifth interval T5, the second clock signal CLK2 is lowered to the reference level REF, the level of the control signal a2 is also lowered to the level of the forward signal VDDF, and the sixth scanning signal S6 is also lowered to the reference level REF; Furthermore, since the third clock signal CLK3 is at a high level, the seventh scan signal S7 of the fourth-stage gate driving circuit 4 is raised to a high level; in addition, the seventh scanning signal S7 controls the third-level gate driving. The second setting component M2 of the first scanning circuit of the circuit 3 reduces the level of the control signal a1 from the level of the forward signal VDDF to the level of the reference level REF.

於第六區間T6,第三級閘極驅動電路3內控制訊號a2的準位降低至參考準位REF,且第四級閘極驅動電路4的第七掃描訊號S7因第三時脈訊號CLK3降低至參考準位REF而降低至參考準位REF;而第四時脈訊號CLK4為高準位,並控制第四級閘極驅動電路4產生第八掃描訊號S8。於第七區間T7,此時第一時脈訊號CLK1週期性的又為高準位,並控制控制單元14的電晶體M11導通,如此控制訊號C3的準位為第一時脈訊號CLK1的準位;而且,由於第三級閘極驅動電路3目前不工作,所以為避免第一時脈訊號CLK1對掃描線有耦合雜訊,此區間不利用放電機制降低控制訊號C3的準位,而使控制訊號C3控制抗雜訊單元15、16啟用抗雜訊工作,如此可以使驅動單元11、13的控制端與輸出端為參考準位REF,而降低第一時脈訊號CLK1的耦合雜訊。 In the sixth interval T6, the level of the control signal a2 in the third-stage gate driving circuit 3 is lowered to the reference level REF, and the seventh scanning signal S7 of the fourth-stage gate driving circuit 4 is due to the third clock signal CLK3. The fourth clock signal CLK4 is at a high level, and the fourth stage gate driving circuit 4 is controlled to generate an eighth scanning signal S8. In the seventh interval T7, the first clock signal CLK1 is periodically at a high level, and the transistor M11 of the control unit 14 is turned on, so that the level of the control signal C3 is the first clock signal CLK1. In addition, since the third-stage gate driving circuit 3 does not currently operate, in order to prevent the first clock signal CLK1 from coupling noise to the scanning line, the interval does not use the discharging mechanism to lower the level of the control signal C3, thereby The control signal C3 controls the anti-noise unit 15, 16 to enable anti-noise operation, so that the control terminal and the output terminal of the driving units 11, 13 are reference level REF, and the coupling noise of the first clock signal CLK1 is reduced.

於第八區間T8,第一時脈訊號CLK1為低準位(例如:參考準位REF),則電晶體M11為截止狀態,又第二時脈訊號CLK2週期性的又 為高準位,且控制訊號C3的準位並未經由放電而降低,所以抗雜訊單元15、16仍執行抗雜訊工作中,如此第二時脈訊號CLK2也不會對掃描線有耦合雜訊。於第九區間T9,第三時脈訊號CLK3控制電晶體M15導通,而將控制訊號C3的準位降低至參考準位REF,則抗雜訊單元15、16停止執行抗雜訊工作;再者,因此區間內第一時脈訊號CLK1與第二時脈訊號CLK2為低準位,所以不會有耦合雜訊,而無須啟用抗雜訊工作。後續第十區間T10至第十二區間T12如前述第六區間T6至第八區間T8的說明,於此不再複述。 In the eighth interval T8, the first clock signal CLK1 is at a low level (for example, the reference level REF), the transistor M11 is in an off state, and the second clock signal CLK2 is periodically The level is high, and the level of the control signal C3 is not reduced by the discharge, so the anti-noise unit 15 and 16 still perform anti-noise operation, so that the second clock signal CLK2 is not coupled to the scan line. Noise. In the ninth interval T9, the third clock signal CLK3 controls the transistor M15 to be turned on, and the level of the control signal C3 is lowered to the reference level REF, and the anti-noise unit 15, 16 stops performing anti-noise operation; Therefore, the first clock signal CLK1 and the second clock signal CLK2 in the interval are at a low level, so there is no coupling noise, and no anti-noise operation is required. The description of the subsequent tenth interval T10 to the twelfth interval T12 as the aforementioned sixth interval T6 to eighth interval T8 will not be repeated herein.

由上述說明可以得知,高解析顯示器之多級閘極驅動電路,於運作時,第三時脈訊號CLK3同時控制第三級閘極驅動電路3放電與第四級閘極驅動電路4路充電,第一時脈訊號CLK1同時控制第四級閘極驅動電路4放電與第五級閘極驅動電路5充電。 It can be seen from the above description that the multi-stage gate driving circuit of the high-resolution display, during operation, the third clock signal CLK3 simultaneously controls the discharge of the third-stage gate driving circuit 3 and the four-stage gate driving circuit. The first clock signal CLK1 simultaneously controls the discharge of the fourth stage gate driving circuit 4 and the charging of the fifth stage gate driving circuit 5.

請參閱第四圖,其係為本發明第一B圖之閘極驅動電路之一實施例的電路圖。如圖所示,其為反向掃描時的第五級閘極驅動電路5,其與順向掃描時的第三級閘極驅動電路3不同的是,順向掃描時第三級閘極驅動電路3由第二級閘極驅動電路2控制充電而產生掃描訊號S5、S6,反向掃描時第五級閘極驅動電路5由第六級閘極驅動電路6控制充電產生第九掃描訊號S9與第十掃描訊號S10;順向掃描時第三級閘極驅動電路3由第四級閘極驅動電路4控制使控制訊號a1、a2放電,反向掃描時第五級閘極驅動電路5由第四級閘極驅動電路控制使控制訊號a1、a2放電。 Please refer to the fourth figure, which is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the gate driving circuit of the first B diagram of the present invention. As shown in the figure, it is the fifth-stage gate driving circuit 5 in the reverse scanning, which is different from the third-stage gate driving circuit 3 in the forward scanning, in the third-stage gate driving in the forward scanning. The circuit 3 is controlled by the second-stage gate driving circuit 2 to generate the scanning signals S5 and S6, and the fifth-stage gate driving circuit 5 is controlled by the sixth-stage gate driving circuit 6 to generate the ninth scanning signal S9 during the reverse scanning. And the tenth scanning signal S10; the third-stage gate driving circuit 3 is controlled by the fourth-stage gate driving circuit 4 to discharge the control signals a1 and a2 in the forward scanning, and the fifth-level gate driving circuit 5 is reverse-scanned in the reverse scanning The fourth stage gate drive circuit controls to discharge the control signals a1, a2.

承接上述,順向掃描時順向訊號VDDF為第一準位反向訊號VDDR為第二準位,反向掃描時順向訊號VDDF為第二準位反向訊號VDDR為第一準位,所以順向掃描時順向訊號VDDF使閘極驅動電路充電而 反向訊號VDDR使閘極驅動電路放電,反向掃描時反向訊號VDDR使閘極驅動電路充電而順向訊號VDDF使閘極驅動電路放電。而且反向掃描時的時序如第五圖所示,其係為本發明之反向掃描時閘極驅動電路之一實施例的時序圖。如圖所示,第五圖時序相反第三圖時序,並利用相反的時序使閘極驅動電路運作反向掃描。換言之,第一級閘極驅動電路1的第一掃描電路依據反向訊號VDDR與第一時脈訊號CLK1產生第一掃描訊號S1,而第一級閘極驅動電路1的第二掃描電路依據反向訊號VDDR與第二時脈訊號CLK2產生第一掃描訊號S2。因此本發明之閘極驅動模組可以對顯示器雙向掃描。 According to the above, in the forward scanning, the forward signal VDDF is the first level reverse signal VDDR is the second level, and the forward signal VDDF is the second level reverse signal VDDR is the first level in the reverse scanning, so The forward signal VDDF charges the gate drive circuit during forward scanning The reverse signal VDDR discharges the gate drive circuit. In the reverse scan, the reverse signal VDDR charges the gate drive circuit and the forward signal VDDF discharges the gate drive circuit. Moreover, the timing at the time of reverse scanning is as shown in the fifth figure, which is a timing chart of an embodiment of the gate driving circuit in the reverse scanning of the present invention. As shown, the fifth timing is opposite to the third timing, and the opposite timing is used to cause the gate drive circuit to operate in reverse scan. In other words, the first scanning circuit of the first stage gate driving circuit 1 generates the first scanning signal S1 according to the reverse signal VDDR and the first clock signal CLK1, and the second scanning circuit of the first stage gate driving circuit 1 is based on the opposite The first scan signal S2 is generated to the signal VDDR and the second clock signal CLK2. Therefore, the gate driving module of the present invention can scan the display in both directions.
