Description

基于低温多晶硅半导体薄膜晶体管的GOA电路 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种基于低温多晶硅半导体薄膜晶体管的GOA电路。
背景技术
GOA(Gate Drive On Array),是利用薄膜晶体管(thin film transistor,TFT)液晶显示器阵列(Array)制程将栅极驱动器制作在薄膜晶体管阵列基板上,以实现逐行扫描的驱动方式。
通常,GOA电路主要由上拉部分(Pull-up part)、上拉控制部分(Pull-up control part)、下传部分(Transfer part)、下拉部分(Pull-down part)、下拉维持电路部分(Pull-down Holding part)、以及负责电位抬升的上升部分(Boost part)组成,上升部分一般由一自举电容构成。
上拉部分主要负责将输入的时钟信号(Clock)输出至薄膜晶体管的栅极,作为液晶显示器的驱动信号。上拉控制部分主要负责控制上拉部分的打开,一般是由上级GOA电路传递来的信号作用。下拉部分主要负责在输出扫描信号后,快速地将扫描信号(亦即薄膜晶体管的栅极的电位)拉低为低电平。下拉维持电路部分则主要负责将扫描信号和上拉部分的信号保持在关闭状态(即设定的负电位)。上升部分则主要负责对上拉部分的电位进行二次抬升,确保上拉部分的正常输出。
随着低温多晶硅(Low Temperature Poly-silicon,LTPS)半导体薄膜晶体管的发展,LTPS-TFT液晶显示器也越来越受关注,LTPS-TFT液晶显示器具有高分辨率、反应速度快、高亮度、高开口率等优点。由于低温多晶硅较非晶硅(a-Si)的排列有次序,低温多晶硅半导体本身具有超高的电子迁移率,比非晶硅半导体相对高100倍以上,可以采用GOA技术将栅极驱动器制作在薄膜晶体管阵列基板上,达到系统整合的目标、节省空间及驱动IC的成本。然而,现有技术中针对低温多晶硅半导体薄膜晶体管的GOA电路的开发较少,尤其需要克服很多由于低温多晶硅半导体薄膜晶体管电性本身带来的问题。例如:传统的非晶硅半导体薄膜晶体管的电学特性中阈值电压一般大于0V,而且亚阈值区域的电压相对于电流的摆幅较大,但是低温多晶硅半导体薄膜晶体管的阈值电压值较低(一般约为0V左右),而且亚阈值区域的摆幅较小,而GOA电路在关态时很多元件操作与阈值电 压接近,甚至高于阈值电压,这样就会由于电路中TFT的漏电和工作电流的漂移,增加LTPS GOA电路设计的难度,很多适用于非晶硅半导体的扫描驱动电路,不能轻易的应用到低温多晶硅半导体的行扫描驱动电路中,会存在一些功能性问题,这样将会直接导致LTPS GOA电路无法工作,所以在设计电路时必须要考虑到低温多晶硅半导体薄膜晶体管的自身特性对GOA电路的影响。
