Description

顯示裝置及陣列上閘極驅動電路 Display device and gate drive circuit on array

本發明係有關於一種裝置及驅動電路,且特別是有關於一種顯示裝置及陣列上閘極驅動電路。 The present invention relates to a device and a driving circuit, and more particularly to a display device and an array of gate driving circuits.

為因應消費者對於電子產品的需求,薄型化已成為當前電子產品的趨勢,顯示面板產業亦跟隨當前趨勢,研發出陣列上閘極驅動電路(Gate driver on Array,GOA)以使面板更加薄型化。所謂GOA是將閘極驅動電路配置於陣列基板上,以取替由外接矽晶片製作之驅動晶片。由於GOA技術可直接配置在面板周圍,因而簡化製作程序,提高顯示面板的整合度,使得面板更加薄型化。 In order to respond to consumers' demand for electronic products, thinning has become the trend of current electronic products. The display panel industry has followed the current trend and developed gate driver on Array (GOA) to make the panel thinner. . The so-called GOA is to arrange the gate driving circuit on the array substrate to replace the driving wafer fabricated by the external germanium wafer. Since the GOA technology can be directly disposed around the panel, the production process is simplified, the integration of the display panel is improved, and the panel is made thinner.

隨著科技的進展,顯示面板產業更研發出雙驅GOA電路,此技術是將兩組GOA電路分別配置於面板之兩側。若顯示面板任一側之GOA電路的驅動信號線及輸出節點間發生短路,而導致操作異常,則可將發生短路之GOA電路的信號線截斷以修補此顯示面板。然而,因修補側的GOA電路產生浮接節點造成其穩壓電路異常形成漏電路徑,進而使得閘極線電壓準位下降,因此經修補過之顯示面板,尚存亮度不 均,甚至是GOA電路操作異常的狀況。 With the advancement of technology, the display panel industry has developed a dual-drive GOA circuit, which is to arrange two sets of GOA circuits on both sides of the panel. If a short circuit occurs between the driving signal line and the output node of the GOA circuit on either side of the display panel, and the operation is abnormal, the signal line of the short-circuited GOA circuit can be cut off to repair the display panel. However, due to the floating node of the GOA circuit on the repair side, the voltage stabilizing circuit abnormally forms a leakage path, and the voltage level of the gate line is lowered. Therefore, the repaired display panel still has no brightness. Both, even the GOA circuit is operating abnormally.

由此可見,上述現有的方式,顯然仍存在不便與缺陷,而有待改進。為了解決上述問題,相關領域莫不費盡心思來謀求解決之道,但長久以來仍未發展出適當的解決方案。 It can be seen that the above existing methods obviously have inconveniences and defects, and need to be improved. In order to solve the above problems, the relevant fields have not tried their best to find a solution, but for a long time, no suitable solution has been developed.

In addition, the singular noun used in this specification covers the plural of the noun in the case of no conflict with the context; the plural noun of the noun is also included in the plural noun used.

另外,關於本文中所使用之「耦接」,可指二或多個元件相互直接作實體或電性接觸,或是相互間接作實體或電性接觸,亦可指二或多個元件相互操作或動作。 In addition, the term "coupled" as used herein may mean that two or more elements are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other, or indirectly in physical or electrical contact with each other, or that two or more elements are interoperable. Or action.

當顯示面板採用雙驅陣列上閘極驅動電路(Gate driver on Array,GOA)的架構,亦即在掃描線的相對兩端分別設置有GOA驅動電路,若任一側之GOA電路的驅動信號線及輸出節點間發生短路,則可能導致GOA電路輸出多重脈衝(multi pulse)之驅動信號而導致操作異常,因此藉由雷射切割的方式將發生短路之GOA電路的信號線截斷以修補此顯示面板,避免GOA電路輸出多重脈衝之驅動信號,本發明所提供的GOA電路架構可以在修補過後仍能正常運作,沒有進行雷射切割的一側仍可以正常輸出掃描信號,且不會受到雷射修補側GOA電路所產生浮接節點的影響,維持GOA電路架構操作正常,更能進一步提升GOA電路的穩壓能力。 When the display panel adopts the structure of the gate driver on Array (GOA) on the dual-drive array, that is, the GOA drive circuit is respectively disposed at opposite ends of the scan line, and the drive signal line of the GOA circuit on either side A short circuit between the output nodes may cause the GOA circuit to output a multi-pulse driving signal to cause an abnormal operation. Therefore, the signal line of the short-circuited GOA circuit is cut by laser cutting to repair the display panel. The GOA circuit structure provided by the present invention can be operated normally after being repaired, and the scanning signal can still be output normally without being subjected to laser cutting without being repaired by the laser. The effect of the floating node generated by the side GOA circuit maintains the normal operation of the GOA circuit structure, and further improves the voltage regulation capability of the GOA circuit.

請參閱第1圖,其係依照本發明一實施例繪示一種第n級GOA電路的示意圖,若經雷射切割GOA電路的信號線HC(n)後,修補側的GOA穩壓電路130之節點Q會呈現浮接(floating)狀態。然而,即便在此狀況下,當正常側GOA電路(圖中未示)輸出掃描信號時,本實施例之修補側GOA電路不會因上述浮接狀態使得其穩壓電路130開啟,導致掃描線透過穩壓電路130產生了漏電路徑,進而拉低正常側及修補側GOA電路所輸出之掃描信號G(n)的準位。為改善傳統修補後之GOA電路所輸出之掃描信號G(n)準位降低的問題,本發明提出一種改良之GOA電路,不增加額外訊號線並且總電晶體數不增加的情況下改進傳統的穩壓機制,詳細改善手段說明如後。 Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an nth-level GOA circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. If the signal line HC(n) of the GOA circuit is laser-cut, the GOA voltage regulator circuit 130 on the repair side is Node Q will assume a floating state. However, even in this case, when the normal side GOA circuit (not shown) outputs a scan signal, the patch side GOA circuit of the present embodiment does not cause the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 to be turned on due to the floating state described above, resulting in a scan line. A leakage path is generated through the voltage stabilizing circuit 130, thereby lowering the level of the scanning signal G(n) outputted by the normal side and the repair side GOA circuit. In order to improve the problem that the scanning signal G(n) level output by the conventionally repaired GOA circuit is lowered, the present invention proposes an improved GOA circuit which improves the conventional one without adding additional signal lines and the total number of transistors is not increased. The voltage regulation mechanism, detailed improvement means as described later.

如第1圖所示,本實施例之第n級GOA電路100包含驅動電路110、控制電路120及穩壓電路130。於操作上,驅 動電路110用以產生掃描信號G(n),以驅動面板(圖中未示)。為避免經雷射切割GOA電路的信號線HC(n)後,傳統修補側的GOA電路之驅動電路110之節點Q會呈現浮接狀態並造成穩壓電路130異常,本發明實施例係配置控制電路120於GOA電路中,且穩壓電路130耦接於驅動電路110與控制電路120之控制節點Out之間,控制電路120用以根據前X級掃描信號G(n-X)及/或後Y級掃描信號G(n+Y)以輸出控制信號M給穩壓電路130,以避免傳統GOA電路的穩壓電路130因連接浮接狀態的節點Q所導致的缺失。再者,穩壓電路130可用以對掃描信號G(n)進行穩壓。 As shown in FIG. 1, the nth stage GOA circuit 100 of the present embodiment includes a driving circuit 110, a control circuit 120, and a voltage stabilizing circuit 130. In operation, drive The driving circuit 110 is configured to generate a scanning signal G(n) to drive a panel (not shown). In order to avoid the laser cutting of the signal line HC(n) of the GOA circuit, the node Q of the driving circuit 110 of the GOA circuit on the conventional repair side may assume a floating state and cause the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 to be abnormal. The circuit 120 is in the GOA circuit, and the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 is coupled between the driving circuit 110 and the control node Out of the control circuit 120. The control circuit 120 is configured to use the pre-X-level scanning signal G(nX) and/or the rear Y-level. The signal G(n+Y) is scanned to output a control signal M to the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 to avoid the loss of the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 of the conventional GOA circuit due to the node Q connected to the floating state. Furthermore, the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 can be used to regulate the scan signal G(n).

請參閱第1圖,控制電路120所接收之前X級掃描信號G(n-X)及後Y級掃描信號G(n+Y),是由GOA電路100的前X級GOA電路及後Y級GOA電路所提供,GOA電路100與上述前、後級電路之整體架構請參閱第2圖,在此,以前、後級電路與GOA電路100之間,各相差四級為例。如第2圖所示,GOA電路100屬於第n級電路,其可用以接收前4級的第(n-4)級電路所提供之前4級掃描信號G(n-4),亦可用以接收後4級的第(n+4)級電路所提供之後4級掃描信號G(n+4)。此外,第n級電路也可提供掃描信號G(n)給前4級第(n-4)級電路與後4級的第(n+4)級電路。 Referring to FIG. 1, the X-stage scan signal G(nX) and the post-Y-level scan signal G(n+Y) received by the control circuit 120 are the first X-stage GOA circuit and the Y-stage GOA circuit of the GOA circuit 100. For the overall structure of the GOA circuit 100 and the above-mentioned front and rear stage circuits, please refer to FIG. 2, where the difference between the front and rear stage circuits and the GOA circuit 100 is four. As shown in FIG. 2, the GOA circuit 100 belongs to an nth stage circuit, which can be used to receive the previous 4-level scan signal G(n-4) provided by the (n-4)th stage circuit of the first 4 stages, and can also be used for receiving.

為使第1圖所示之GOA電路100的操作易於理解,請參閱第3圖,其係依照本發明實施例繪示一種波形示意圖。如第1圖所示,控制電路120包含上拉單元T71及下拉單元T74,並具有輸出端Out。於操作上,請一併參閱第1圖與第3 圖,於期間P1,前X級掃描信號G(n-X)為高位準信號,而後Y級掃描信號G(n+Y)為低位準信號,此時,控制電路120之上拉單元T71用以根據高位準之前X級掃描信號G(n-X)輸出高位準之控制信號M至輸出端Out,用以上拉輸出端Out。穩壓電路130之開關T52、T54根據高位準之控制信號M而開啟,用以下拉節點N1。此時,節點N1輸出低位準之驅動信號P(n),穩壓電路130之開關T32、T42根據低位準之驅動信號P(n)而關閉。 In order to make the operation of the GOA circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1 easy to understand, please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a waveform according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the control circuit 120 includes a pull-up unit T71 and a pull-down unit T74, and has an output terminal Out. For operation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3. In the figure P1, the front X-stage scan signal G(nX) is a high level signal, and the Y-stage scan signal G(n+Y) is a low level signal. At this time, the control circuit 120 pull-up unit T71 is used according to Before the high level, the X-level scan signal G(nX) outputs the high level control signal M to the output terminal Out, and the output terminal Out is pulled up. The switches T52 and T54 of the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 are turned on according to the high level control signal M to pull down the node N1. At this time, the node N1 outputs the low level driving signal P(n), and the switches T32 and T42 of the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 are turned off according to the low level driving signal P(n).

於期間P2,前X級掃描信號G(n-X)轉換為低位準信號,而後Y級掃描信號G(n+Y)維持低位準信號,此時,輸出端Out仍持續維持高位準之狀態。穩壓電路130之開關T52、T54根據高位準之控制信號M而持續開啟,以下拉節點N1,此時,節點N1輸出低位準之驅動信號P(n),穩壓電路130之開關T32、T42根據低位準之驅動信號P(n)而關閉,避免電路透過之開關T32、T42產生漏電路徑,從而維持掃描信號G(n)之高準位。 During the period P2, the front X-level scan signal G(n-X) is converted into a low level signal, and the Y-stage scan signal G(n+Y) is maintained at a low level signal. At this time, the output end Out continues to maintain a high level state. The switches T52 and T54 of the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 are continuously turned on according to the high level control signal M, and the node N1 is pulled down. At this time, the node N1 outputs the low level driving signal P(n), and the voltage regulating circuit 130 switches T32 and T42.

Therefore, the output terminal Out outputs a low level control signal M. The switches T52 and T54 of the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 are turned off according to the low level control signal M. At this time, the node N1 can be pulled up to the high level according to the high level signal LC1, the node N1 outputs the high level driving signal P(n), and the switches T32 and T42 of the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 are driven according to the high level. The signal P(n) is turned on. It should be noted that The other voltage stabilizing structure shown in Figure 1 (including switches T33, T43 and T61~T64) operates in a similar manner to the above-mentioned voltage stabilizing structure (including switches T32, T42 and T51~T54), in order to simplify the description of the invention.

The capacitor C is coupled to the output terminal Out and used to pull up the voltage of the output terminal Out according to the scan signal G(n). The bit causes the output terminal Out to output a control signal M having a higher level.

為使第4圖所示之GOA電路100A的操作易於理解,請參閱第5圖,其係依照本發明另一實施例繪示一種波形示意圖。於期間P1,控制電路120根據高位準之前X級掃描信號G(n-X)以輸出第一高位準L1之控制信號M。於期間P2,電容C用以根據高位準之掃描信號G(z)而再次上拉輸出端Out,使得輸出端Out輸出第二高位準L2之控制信號M。如圖所示,上述第二高位準L2之控制信號M的位準高於第一高位準L1之控制信號M的位準。 In order to make the operation of the GOA circuit 100A shown in FIG. 4 easy to understand, please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of a waveform according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the level of the control signal M of the second high level L2 is higher than the level of the control signal M of the first high level L1.

總結而論,請參閱第4圖,除了GOA電路100的控制電路120之開關T71及T74可根據前X級掃描信號G(n-X)以及後Y級掃描信號G(n+Y)兩組訊號來產生控制信號M,以控制穩壓電路130內之穩壓控制電路(如開關T51~T54及T61~T64)外,另配置一個電容C接於輸出端Out及G(z)之間,其中G(z)代表時序介於前X級掃描信號G(n-X)與後Y級掃描信號G(n+Y)之間的任一閘極脈衝(Gate Pulse),亦即Z為介於n-X與n+Y之間的正整數。額外配置上述電容C之目的是為了藉由耦合以提高輸出端Out之電壓,使開關T52、T54、T62、T64的閘極端電壓提高以提高其下拉能力。如此一來,即可縮小其薄膜電晶體(Thin-Film Transistor,TFT)的設計尺寸。 In summary, please refer to FIG. 4, except that the switches T71 and T74 of the control circuit 120 of the GOA circuit 100 can be based on the first X-level scan signal G(nX) and the latter Y-level scan signal G(n+Y). A control signal M is generated to control the voltage stabilization control circuit (such as switches T51~T54 and T61~T64) in the voltage stabilization circuit 130, and another capacitor C is connected between the output terminals Out and G(z), wherein G (z) represents any gate pulse (Gate Pulse) between the pre-X scan signal G(nX) and the post Y scan signal G(n+Y), that is, Z is between nX and n A positive integer between +Y. The purpose of additionally configuring the capacitor C is to increase the voltage of the output terminal Out by coupling to increase the gate voltage of the switches T52, T54, T62, and T64 to improve the pull-down capability. In this way, the design size of the Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) can be reduced.

在另一實施例中,請繼續參閱第4圖,高位準的掃描信號G(z)是於高位準的前X級掃描信號G(n-X)之後產生,而高位準的後Y級掃描信號G(n+Y)是於高位準的掃描信號G(z)之後產生。換言之,掃描信號G(z)可為前X級掃描信號G(n-X)至後Y級掃描信號G(n+Y)區間內的掃描信號,例如本級掃描信號G(n)。 In another embodiment, please continue to refer to FIG. 4, the high-level scan signal G(z) is generated after the high-level pre-X-level scan signal G(nX), and the high-level post-Y-level scan signal G is generated. (n+Y) is generated after the high level of the scanning signal G(z).

在又一實施例中,控制電路120A更包含穩壓單元122,穩壓單元122耦接輸出端Out,其可用以根據穩壓電路130所提供之至少一驅動信號(如:驅動信號K(n)、P(n))以對輸出端Out輸出低位準之控制信號M。在本實施例中,穩壓單元包含開關T72、T73,上述開關T72、T73分別用以根據驅動信號K(n)及驅動信號P(n)以將輸出端Out接地,因而得以將輸出端Out所輸出之控制信號M穩定維持於低位準。 In another embodiment, the control circuit 120A further includes a voltage stabilizing unit 122 coupled to the output terminal Out, which can be used according to at least one driving signal provided by the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 (eg, the driving signal K(n) ), P(n)) outputs a low level control signal M to the output terminal Out.

為使第4圖所示之穩壓單元122的操作易於理解,請參閱第5圖,於期間P1之前或期間P2之後,輸出端Out所輸出的控制信號M為低位準信號,穩壓電路130之開關T52、T54或開關T62、T64根據低位準之控制信號M而關閉。此時,節點N1或N2分別根據信號源LC1或LC2而輸出高位準之驅動信號P(n)或K(n),開關T72或T73會根據高位準之驅動信號P(n)或K(n)而開啟以將輸出端Out接地,從而穩定維持控制信號M於低位準。如此一來,無論於任何階段,輸出端Out均可受到控制電路120A內部之元件的控制,因此得以確保輸出端Out不會有浮接狀況發生。 In order to make the operation of the voltage stabilizing unit 122 shown in FIG. 4 easy to understand, please refer to FIG. 5, before or after the period P1, the control signal M outputted by the output terminal Out is a low level signal, and the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 The switches T52, T54 or switches T62, T64 are turned off according to the low level control signal M.

在一實施例中,驅動信號P(n)、K(n)分別受到信 號源LC1、LC2之控制,且信號源LC1、LC2所提供之信號的相位相反。請參閱第5圖,於期間P1之前或期間P2之後,穩壓電路130之開關T52、T54或開關T62、T64根據低位準之控制信號M而關閉,此時,節點N1根據信號源LC1提供之高位準信號而輸出高位準之驅動信號P(n)。同時,信號源LC2提供與信號源LC1反向的低位準信號,節點N2根據信號源LC2提供之低位準信號而輸出低位準之驅動信號K(n)。因此,在期間P1之前或期間P2之後,驅動信號P(n)與驅動信號K(n)具有相反相位。 In an embodiment, the drive signals P(n), K(n) are respectively received by the letter The sources LC1, LC2 are controlled, and the signals provided by the signal sources LC1, LC2 are opposite in phase. Referring to FIG. 5, before or during the period P1, the switches T52, T54 or the switches T62 and T64 of the voltage stabilizing circuit 130 are turned off according to the low level control signal M. At this time, the node N1 is provided according to the signal source LC1. The high level signal outputs a high level of the drive signal P(n). At the same time, the signal source LC2 provides a low level signal opposite to the signal source LC1, and the node N2 outputs a low level drive signal K(n) according to the low level signal provided by the signal source LC2. Therefore, before or during the period P1, the drive signal P(n) has an opposite phase to the drive signal K(n).
