Description

閘極驅動電路 Gate drive circuit

本發明是有關於一種驅動電路,尤其是有關於一種閘極驅動電路。 The present invention relates to a driving circuit, and more particularly to a gate driving circuit.

習知的閘極驅動電路架構通常是以4個電晶體搭配1個電容(4T1C)來實現。圖1為習知的一種閘極驅動電路的電路圖。如圖1所示,閘極驅動電路100包括電晶體10、電晶體20、電晶體30、電晶體40以及電容50。電晶體10的其中一端以及控制端共同接收起始訊號ST,而電晶體10的另一端將起始訊號ST輸入至節點Q,電晶體30的一端接收時脈訊號CK,電晶體30的另一端依據時脈訊號CK而輸出閘極訊號G[N]。電晶體20以及電晶體40的控制端共同接收下一級的閘極訊號G[N+1],電晶體40依據下一級的閘極訊號G[N+1]而重置節點Q以及電晶體30輸出閘極訊號G[N]的一端的電位。 The conventional gate drive circuit architecture is usually implemented with four transistors and one capacitor (4T1C). 1 is a circuit diagram of a conventional gate drive circuit. As shown in FIG. 1, the gate driving circuit 100 includes a transistor 10, a transistor 20, a transistor 30, a transistor 40, and a capacitor 50. One end of the transistor 10 and the control terminal jointly receive the start signal ST, and the other end of the transistor 10 inputs the start signal ST to the node Q. One end of the transistor 30 receives the clock signal CK, and the other end of the transistor 30 The gate signal G [N] is output according to the clock signal CK. The transistor 20 and the control terminal of the transistor 40 collectively receive the gate signal G [N+1] of the next stage, and the transistor 40 resets the node Q and the transistor 30 according to the gate signal G [N+1] of the next stage. The potential of one end of the output gate signal G [N] .

上述的4T1C的閘極驅動電路100,在顯示器(圖未示)顯示一個畫面的期間內,一般只會接收一個起始訊號,而對應地輸出一個閘極訊號至顯示器的其中一條掃描線(圖未示)。具體而言,由於當下一級的閘極訊號G[N+1]產生時,節點Q的電位會被電晶體40重置而使得電晶體30無法被導 通,因此在這個時間點,電晶體30無法再一次輸出閘極訊號G[N]The gate driving circuit 100 of the 4T1C described above generally receives only one start signal during the display of a screen (not shown), and correspondingly outputs a gate signal to one of the scan lines of the display (Fig. Not shown). Specifically, since the potential of the node Q is reset by the transistor 40 and the transistor 30 cannot be turned on when the gate signal G [N+1] of the next stage is generated, the transistor 30 cannot be turned on at this point of time. The gate signal G [N] is output again.

此外,由於閘極驅動電路100不具有穩壓的功能,因此當電晶體30輸出閘極訊號G[N]之後,節點Q以及閘極訊號G[N]的輸出端實質上處於浮接的狀態,因此其電位有可能會受到時脈訊號CK的影響而呈現不穩定的狀態,導致輸出訊號G[N]的波型不穩定。 In addition, since the gate driving circuit 100 does not have a voltage stabilizing function, after the transistor 30 outputs the gate signal G [N] , the output terminals of the node Q and the gate signal G [N] are substantially in a floating state. Therefore, the potential may be unstable due to the influence of the clock signal CK, resulting in unstable waveform of the output signal G [N] .

另外,為了能夠快速且有效地輸出閘極訊號G[N],因此電晶體30的尺寸一般來說會較大,而為了能夠在下一級的閘極訊號G[N+1]產生時,快速地重置節點Q以及閘極訊號G[N]輸出端的電位,因此電晶體40的尺寸必須對應於電晶體30,這會造成在同一個閘極驅動電路100當中必須同時使用兩個尺寸較大的電晶體,使得電路的面積難以縮小。 In addition, in order to be able to output the gate signal G [N] quickly and efficiently, the size of the transistor 30 is generally large, and in order to be able to be generated in the next stage of the gate signal G [N+1] , The potential of the node Q and the output of the gate signal G [N] is reset, so the size of the transistor 40 must correspond to the transistor 30, which causes two large-sized electrodes to be used simultaneously in the same gate driving circuit 100. The crystal makes it difficult to reduce the area of the circuit.

特別一提的是,上述的第一時序訊號CK1以及第二時序訊號CK2互為反相且兩者的致能期間互不重疊,且較佳地,第一時序訊號CK1以及第二時序訊號之工作週期CK2實質上小於50%,例如是介於10%至50%之間,也就是說,當該第一時序訊號CK1被禁能且經過一段預設時間之後,第二時序訊號CK2才被致能。此外,本實施例的閘極驅動電路300係以P型電晶體來實現,但本發明並不以此為限,本領域的技術人員亦可以藉由N型電晶體來實現本發明的閘極驅動電路300。 In particular, the first timing signal CK1 and the second timing signal CK2 are mutually inverted and the enabling periods of the two do not overlap each other, and preferably, the first timing signal CK1 and the second timing are The duty cycle CK2 of the signal is substantially less than 50%, for example, between 10% and 50%, that is, after the first timing signal CK1 is disabled and a predetermined period of time elapses, the second timing signal CK2 was only enabled. In addition, the gate driving circuit 300 of the present embodiment is implemented by a P-type transistor, but the invention is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can also implement the gate of the present invention by using an N-type transistor. Drive circuit 300.

圖4為本發明一實施例之閘極驅動電路的時序圖。如圖4所示,在本實施例中的第一時序訊號CK1以及CK2的工作週期小於50%且兩者的致能期間互不重疊,然而本發明並不以此為限,第一時序訊號CK1以及第二時序訊號CK2在實際上應用時亦可以採用50%的工作週期,理由將在後面詳述。請參照圖3以及圖4,當閘極訊號產生電路201在顯示器顯示一幀(一個畫面)的期間內接收二次起始訊號ST,並對應地輸出二次閘極訊號時G[N],閘極驅動電路201 係依序操作於第一起始時期T1、第一充電時期T2、第一放電時期T3、第二起始時期T4、第二充電時期T5、第二放電時期T6以及穩壓時期T7。當操作於第一起始時期T1,第一電晶體21、第二電晶體22、第三電晶體23以及第四電晶體24被導通,第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體26被截止,此時第二電晶體22之控制端22-3的電位具有第一準位。具體而言,在第一起始時期T1的期間內,第一時序訊號CK1導通第一電晶體21以及第四電晶體24。第一電晶體21被導通而因此將起始訊號ST傳遞至節點A,節點A的電位實質上與第二電晶體22的控制端22-3的電位相同,因此可以藉由節點A的電位而導通第二電晶體22以及第三電晶體23。由於第三電晶體23以及第四電晶體24被導通,此時穩壓控制訊號P[N]處於禁能,因此第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體26處於截止。 4 is a timing diagram of a gate driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the duty cycles of the first timing signals CK1 and CK2 in this embodiment are less than 50%, and the enabling periods of the two do not overlap each other. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The sequence signal CK1 and the second timing signal CK2 can also adopt a 50% duty cycle when actually applied, for reasons which will be described later. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when the gate signal generating circuit 201 receives the second start signal ST during the display of one frame (one screen), and correspondingly outputs the secondary gate signal G [N] , The gate driving circuit 201 sequentially operates in the first start period T1, the first charging period T2, the first discharging period T3, the second starting period T4, the second charging period T5, the second discharging period T6, and the voltage stabilization period. T7. When operating in the first initial period T1, the first transistor 21, the second transistor 22, the third transistor 23, and the fourth transistor 24 are turned on, and the fifth transistor 25 and the sixth transistor 26 are turned off. The potential of the control terminal 22-3 of the second transistor 22 has a first level. Specifically, during the first start period T1, the first timing signal CK1 turns on the first transistor 21 and the fourth transistor 24. The first transistor 21 is turned on and thus transmits the start signal ST to the node A. The potential of the node A is substantially the same as the potential of the control terminal 22-3 of the second transistor 22, and thus can be grounded by the potential of the node A. The second transistor 22 and the third transistor 23 are turned on. Since the third transistor 23 and the fourth transistor 24 are turned on, the voltage regulation control signal P [N] is disabled at this time, and thus the fifth transistor 25 and the sixth transistor 26 are turned off.

當操作於第一充電時期T2,第一電晶體21、第四電晶體24、第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體26被截止,第二電晶體22以及第三電晶體23被導通,此時第二電晶體22之控制端22-3的電位藉由電容27的耦合作用而轉換至第二準位,並使第二電晶體22之第一端22-1輸出閘極訊號G[N]。具體而言,當操作於第一充電時期T2的期間內,由於第二電晶體22被導通,因此第二電晶體22的第二端22-2所接收的第二時序訊號CK2的電位會被傳遞至第二電晶體22的第一端22-1,接著藉由電容27的耦合作用而使得節點A的電位由第一準位轉換至第二準位,如此一來會使得第二電晶體22的通道加大而讓第二電晶體22的第一端22-1的電位完全充電至第二時序訊號CK2,並藉由第二電晶體22的第一端 22-1輸出閘極訊號G[N]When operating in the first charging period T2, the first transistor 21, the fourth transistor 24, the fifth transistor 25, and the sixth transistor 26 are turned off, and the second transistor 22 and the third transistor 23 are turned on. The potential of the control terminal 22-3 of the second transistor 22 is switched to the second level by the coupling of the capacitor 27, and the first terminal 22-1 of the second transistor 22 outputs the gate signal G [N ] . Specifically, during the period of the first charging period T2, since the second transistor 22 is turned on, the potential of the second timing signal CK2 received by the second terminal 22-2 of the second transistor 22 is Passing to the first end 22-1 of the second transistor 22, and then the coupling of the capacitor 27 causes the potential of the node A to be switched from the first level to the second level, thus causing the second transistor The channel of 22 is enlarged to fully charge the potential of the first terminal 22-1 of the second transistor 22 to the second timing signal CK2, and the gate signal G is outputted through the first terminal 22-1 of the second transistor 22. [N] .

當操作於第一放電時期T3,第二電晶體22之第一端22-1停止輸出閘極訊號G[N],並藉由27電容的耦合作用而使第二電晶體22之控制端22-3的電位回復至第一準位。具體而言,當操作於第一放電時期T3的期間內,第二時序訊號CK2處於禁能而使得第二電晶體22的第一端22-1不再充電,且在此期間內,第一時序訊號CK1尚未致能,因此節點A的電位會藉由電容27的耦合作用而由第二準位回復至第一準位。值得注意的是,由於本實施例採用的第一時序訊號CK1以及第二時序訊號CK2的工作週期小於50%且致能期間互不重疊,因此可以在第一放電時期T3的期間內使第二電晶體22的第一端22-1快速地放電而停止輸出閘極訊號G[N]。然而,第一時序訊號CK1以及第二時序訊號CK2亦可以是工作週期為50%,但致能期間依然互不重疊。 When operating in the first discharge period T3, the first end 22-1 of the second transistor 22 stops outputting the gate signal G [N] , and the control terminal 22 of the second transistor 22 is coupled by the coupling of 27 capacitors. The potential of -3 returns to the first level. Specifically, during the period of the first discharge period T3, the second timing signal CK2 is disabled so that the first end 22-1 of the second transistor 22 is no longer charged, and during this period, the first The timing signal CK1 is not yet enabled, so the potential of the node A is restored from the second level to the first level by the coupling of the capacitor 27. It should be noted that, since the duty ratios of the first timing signal CK1 and the second timing signal CK2 used in this embodiment are less than 50% and the enabling periods do not overlap each other, the first discharging period T3 can be made during the first discharging period T3. The first end 22-1 of the second transistor 22 is rapidly discharged to stop the output gate signal G [N] . However, the first timing signal CK1 and the second timing signal CK2 may also have a duty cycle of 50%, but the enabling periods still do not overlap each other.

當操作於第二起始時期T4,第一電晶體21、第二電晶體22、第三電晶體33以及第四電晶體24被導通,第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體被截止,此時第二電晶體22之控制端22-3的電位維持在第一準位。與第一起始時期T1相同,在第二起始時期T2的期間內,第一時序訊號CK1導通第一電晶體21以及第四電晶體24。第一電晶體21被導通而因此將起始訊號ST傳遞至節點A,節點A的電位實質上與第二電晶體22的控制端22-3的電位相同,因此可以藉由節點A的電位而導通第二電晶體22以及第三電晶體23。由於第三電晶體23以及第四電晶體24被導通,此時穩壓控制訊號P[N]處於禁能,因此第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體26處於截止。 When operating in the second initial period T4, the first transistor 21, the second transistor 22, the third transistor 33, and the fourth transistor 24 are turned on, and the fifth transistor 25 and the sixth transistor are turned off. The potential of the control terminal 22-3 of the second transistor 22 is maintained at the first level. The first timing signal CK1 turns on the first transistor 21 and the fourth transistor 24 during the second start period T2, as in the first start period T1. The first transistor 21 is turned on and thus transmits the start signal ST to the node A. The potential of the node A is substantially the same as the potential of the control terminal 22-3 of the second transistor 22, and thus can be grounded by the potential of the node A. The second transistor 22 and the third transistor 23 are turned on. Since the third transistor 23 and the fourth transistor 24 are turned on, the voltage regulation control signal P [N] is disabled at this time, and thus the fifth transistor 25 and the sixth transistor 26 are turned off.

當操作於第二充電時期T5,第一電晶體21、第四電晶體24、第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體26被截止,第二電晶體22以及第三電晶體23被導通,此時第二電晶體22之控制端22-3的電位藉由電容27的耦合作用而轉換至第二準位,並使第二電晶體22之第一端22-1再次輸出閘極訊號G[N]。與第一充電時期T2相同,當操作於第二充電時期T5的期間內,由於第二電晶體22被導通,因此第二電晶體22的第二端22-2所接收的第二時序訊號CK2的電位會被傳遞至第二電晶體22的第一端22-1,接著藉由電容27的耦合作用而使得節點A的電位由第一準位轉換至第二準位,如此一來會使得第二電晶體22的通道加大而讓第二電晶體22的第一端22-1的電位完全充電至第二時序訊號CK2,並藉由第二電晶體22的第一端22-1而再次輸出閘極訊號G[N]When operating in the second charging period T5, the first transistor 21, the fourth transistor 24, the fifth transistor 25, and the sixth transistor 26 are turned off, and the second transistor 22 and the third transistor 23 are turned on. The potential of the control terminal 22-3 of the second transistor 22 is switched to the second level by the coupling of the capacitor 27, and the first terminal 22-1 of the second transistor 22 is again outputting the gate signal G [ N] . Same as the first charging period T2, during the period of the second charging period T5, since the second transistor 22 is turned on, the second timing signal CK2 received by the second terminal 22-2 of the second transistor 22 The potential is transferred to the first end 22-1 of the second transistor 22, and then the potential of the node A is switched from the first level to the second level by the coupling of the capacitor 27, thus The channel of the second transistor 22 is enlarged to fully charge the potential of the first terminal 22-1 of the second transistor 22 to the second timing signal CK2, and by the first end 22-1 of the second transistor 22. The gate signal G [N] is output again.

當操作於第二放電時期T6,第二電晶體22之第一端22-1停止輸出閘極訊號G[N],並藉由電容27的耦合作用而使第二電晶體22之控制端22-3的電位回復至第一準位。與第一放電時期T3相同,當操作於第二放電時期T6的期間內,第二時序訊號CK2被禁能而使得第二電晶體22的第一端22-1不再充電,且在此期間內,第一時序訊號CK1尚未致能,因此節點A的電位會藉由電容27的耦合作用而由第二準位回復至第一準位。值得注意的是,由於本實施例採用的第一時序訊號CK1以及第二時序訊號CK2的工作週期小於50%且致能期間互不重疊,因此可以在第二放電時期T6的期間內使第二電晶體22的第一端22-1快速地放電而停止輸出閘極訊號G[N]。然而,第一時序訊號CK1以及第二時序訊號CK2亦可以是工作週期為50%,但致能期間依然互不 重疊,只是在這種情況之下,則第二電晶體22的尺寸可能必須增加,才能夠較快地進行放電。 When operating in the second discharge period T6, the first terminal 22-1 of the second transistor 22 stops outputting the gate signal G [N] , and the control terminal 22 of the second transistor 22 is coupled by the coupling of the capacitor 27. The potential of -3 returns to the first level. Same as the first discharge period T3, during the period of operation of the second discharge period T6, the second timing signal CK2 is disabled such that the first end 22-1 of the second transistor 22 is no longer charged, and during this period The first timing signal CK1 is not yet enabled, so the potential of the node A is restored from the second level to the first level by the coupling of the capacitor 27. It should be noted that, since the duty ratios of the first timing signal CK1 and the second timing signal CK2 used in this embodiment are less than 50% and the enabling periods do not overlap each other, the second discharging period T6 can be made during the second discharging period T6. The first end 22-1 of the second transistor 22 is rapidly discharged to stop the output gate signal G [N] . However, the first timing signal CK1 and the second timing signal CK2 may also have a duty cycle of 50%, but the enabling periods still do not overlap each other, but in this case, the size of the second transistor 22 may have to be Increased to enable faster discharge.

當操作於穩壓時期T7,第一電晶體21、第四電晶體24、第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體26被導通,第二電晶體22以及第三電晶體23被截止,此時第二電晶體22不輸出閘極訊號G[N],且第二電晶體22之控制端22-3以及第一端22-1接收穩壓訊號Q[N]而處於穩壓狀態。具體而言,當操作於穩壓時期T7的期間內,第一時序訊號CK1導通第一電晶體21以及第四電晶體24,且在此期間內,起始訊號ST處於禁能,因此節點A的電位無法導通第二電晶體22以及第三電晶體23,如此一來會使得第四電晶體24的第一端24-1依據第四電晶體24的第二端24-2所接收的第二電位VL而輸出穩壓控制訊號P[N]並導通第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體26。當第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體26被導通時,第五電晶體25以及第六電晶體26的第一端26-1會依據所接收的第一電位VH而分別輸出穩壓訊號Q[N]至第二電晶體22的控制端22-3以及第二電晶體22的第一端22-1,以確保第二電晶體22的控制端22-3以及第一端22-1不處於浮接狀態,因此即使第一時序訊號CK1以及第二時序訊號CK2不停地在電位上做改變,也不會影響電晶體22的第一端22-1的電位,而使得第二電晶體22的第一端22-1處於穩壓狀態。 When operating in the voltage stabilization period T7, the first transistor 21, the fourth transistor 24, the fifth transistor 25, and the sixth transistor 26 are turned on, and the second transistor 22 and the third transistor 23 are turned off. The second transistor 22 does not output the gate signal G [N] , and the control terminal 22-3 of the second transistor 22 and the first terminal 22-1 receive the voltage stabilization signal Q [N] and are in a regulated state. Specifically, during the period of the voltage stabilization period T7, the first timing signal CK1 turns on the first transistor 21 and the fourth transistor 24, and during this period, the start signal ST is disabled, so the node The potential of A cannot turn on the second transistor 22 and the third transistor 23, so that the first end 24-1 of the fourth transistor 24 is received according to the second end 24-2 of the fourth transistor 24. The second potential V L outputs a voltage stabilizing control signal P[N] and turns on the fifth transistor 25 and the sixth transistor 26. When the fifth transistor 25 and the sixth transistor 26 are turned on, the first transistor 26-1 of the fifth transistor 25 and the sixth transistor 26 respectively output a voltage stabilization signal according to the received first potential V H . Q [N] to the control terminal 22-3 of the second transistor 22 and the first terminal 22-1 of the second transistor 22 to ensure the control terminal 22-3 of the second transistor 22 and the first terminal 22-1 It is not in the floating state, so even if the first timing signal CK1 and the second timing signal CK2 are continuously changed in potential, the potential of the first end 22-1 of the transistor 22 is not affected, and the second is made. The first end 22-1 of the transistor 22 is in a regulated state.

上述實施例係為閘極驅動電路300在顯示器(圖未示)顯示一個畫面的期間內接收兩個起始訊號ST而對應地輸出兩個閘極訊號G[N]至顯示器的其中一條閘極線的說明,然而本領域通常知識者亦可知,當閘極驅動電路300在顯示器顯示一個畫面的期間內僅接收一個起始訊號ST時,則閘 極驅動電路300的操作順序在圖4中的時序會是第一起始時期T1、第一充電時期T2、第一放電時期T3接著便是穩壓時期T7。當然,也可以是由第二起始時期T4做為第一個操作期間,接著是第二充電時期T5、第二放電時期T6以及穩壓時期T7,操作的方法均與前述相同,僅是在顯示器顯示一個畫面的期間內,閘極驅動電路300所接收的起始訊號ST的次數不同而已。 In the above embodiment, the gate driving circuit 300 receives two start signals ST and correspondingly outputs two gate signals G [N] to one of the gates of the display while the display (not shown) displays one screen. The description of the line, however, it is also known to those skilled in the art that when the gate driving circuit 300 receives only one start signal ST during the display of one picture, the operation sequence of the gate driving circuit 300 is as shown in FIG. The timing will be the first start period T1, the first charging period T2, and the first discharge period T3 followed by the voltage stabilization period T7. Of course, the second start period T4 may be used as the first operation period, followed by the second charging period T5, the second discharge period T6, and the voltage stabilization period T7, and the methods of operation are the same as described above, only in the The number of times the start signal ST received by the gate driving circuit 300 is different during the period in which the display displays one screen.

圖5為本發明另一實施例之閘極驅動電路的時序圖。圖5與圖4的差異僅在於,閘極驅動電路300在不同的時間點接收第二個起始訊號ST而對應地輸出閘極訊號G[N],且所輸出的兩個掃描訊號G[N]的時間間距可藉由所接收的兩個起始訊號ST的時間間距做調整,其餘的操作方法都與圖4相同,因此不再於此贅述。雖然在本發明中,僅列舉了閘極驅動電路300在顯示器顯示一個畫面的期間內接收一個與兩個起始訊號ST的實施例,但本發明並不以此為限,所接收的起始訊號ST的數目以及間距當可由本領域技術人員自行依照需求而做調整,且均屬於本發明所保護的範疇之內。 FIG. 5 is a timing diagram of a gate driving circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention. 5 is different from FIG. 4 only in that the gate driving circuit 300 receives the second start signal ST at different time points and correspondingly outputs the gate signal G [N] , and outputs two scanning signals G [ The time interval of N] can be adjusted by the time interval of the two received start signals ST, and the rest of the operation methods are the same as those of FIG. 4, and therefore will not be described again. Although in the present invention, only the embodiment in which the gate driving circuit 300 receives one start signal and two start signals ST during the display of one picture is shown, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the received start The number and spacing of the signals ST can be adjusted by those skilled in the art as needed, and are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

綜上所述,本發明係藉由6T1C的電路結構來實現一種閘極驅動電路,並搭配工作週期小於50%且致能期間互不重疊的兩個時序訊號來進行操作,並藉此使本發明的閘極驅動電路可以在顯示器顯示一個畫面的期間內,依據多個起始訊號而產生對應的閘極訊號至顯示器的其中一條閘極線,並且僅藉由一個尺寸較大的電晶體即可對閘極訊號的輸出端進行快速的充電以及放電,且所輸出的多個掃描訊號的時間間距可藉由所接收的多個起始訊號的時間間距做調整, 在應用層面上較習知的4T1C閘極驅動電路更為廣泛。 In summary, the present invention implements a gate driving circuit by using a circuit structure of 6T1C, and operates with two timing signals whose duty cycles are less than 50% and do not overlap each other during the enabling period, thereby making the present The gate driving circuit of the invention can generate a corresponding gate signal to one of the gate lines of the display according to a plurality of initial signals during a period in which the display displays a picture, and only by a larger-sized transistor The output of the gate signal can be quickly charged and discharged, and the time interval of the outputted plurality of scan signals can be adjusted by the time interval of the received multiple start signals. The 4T1C gate drive circuit is more widely used at the application level.
