Description

移位寄存器、栅极驱动电路、显示面板的驱动方法、显示装置 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤指一种移位寄存器、栅极驱动电路、显示面板及其驱动方法、以及显示装置。
背景技术
在科技发展日新月异的现今时代中,液晶显示器已经广泛地应用在电子显示产品上,如电视机、计算机、手机及个人数字助理装置等。液晶显示器包括数据驱动装置(Source Driver)、栅极驱动装置(Gate Driver)及液晶显示面板等。在液晶显示面板中布置有像素阵列,而栅极驱动装置用以依序开启像素阵列中的各像素行,以将数据驱动器输出的像素数据传输至当前开启的像素行中的各像素,进而显示待显示图像。
目前,栅极驱动装置一般通过阵列工艺形成在液晶显示器的阵列基板上,即阵列基板行驱动(Gate Driver on Array,GOA)工艺,这种集成工艺不仅节省了成本,而且可以做到液晶面板(Panel)两边对称的美观设计,同时,也省去了栅极集成电路(IC,Integrated Circuit)的绑定(Bonding)区域以及扇出(Fan-out)区域的布线空间,从而可以实现窄边框的设计;并且,这种集成工艺还可以省去栅极扫描线方向的绑定工艺,从而提高了产能和良率。
栅极驱动装置通常由多个级联的移位寄存器构成,这样将各级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端分别对应于各条栅线,用于沿扫描方向依次向各条栅线输出扫描信号。具体移位寄存器的结构如图1所示,包括:输入单元01、复位单元02、节点控制单元03、上拉单元04、下拉单元05、输入信号端Input、复位信号端Reset、第一时钟信号端ck和参考信号端Vref;其中,输入单元01的输出端、复位单元02的输出端、节点控制单元03的第一端、以及上拉单元04的控制端均与第一节点PU相连,节点控制单元03的第二端和下拉单元05的控制端均与第二节点PD相连;上拉单元04的输出端和下拉单元05的输出端均与移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端Out相连。在如图1所示的移位寄存器中,输入单元01用于在输入信号端Input的控制下控制第一节点PU的电位,复位单元02用于在复位信号端Reset的控制下控制第一节点PU的电位,节点控制单元03用于控制第一节点PU和第二节点PD的电位,上拉 单元04用于在第一节点PU的控制下将第一时钟信号端ck的信号提供给驱动信号输出端Out,下拉单元05用于在第二节点PD的控制下,将参考信号端Vref的信号提供给驱动信号输出端Out。
目前,显示面板中的栅极驱动装置的各级移位寄存器一般均如图1所示,显示面板通过各级移位寄存器沿扫描方向依次向各栅线输出扫描信号。但是随着显示产品分辨率越来越高,显示面板的功耗也随着分辨率的增大而增大,导致待机时间大大减小。因此,如何降低显示产品的功耗,以提高待机时间是本领域技术人员亟需解决的技术问题。

由于第一电容C1的作用,第二节点PD的电位仍保持为高电位,第十二开关晶体管T12导通,驱动信号输出端Out的电位为低电位。由于第二节点PD的电位为高电位,第八开关晶体管T8导通,第一节点PU的电位为低电位。由于EN=1,第一开关晶体管T1和第二开关晶体管T2导通,第四节点B的电位为高电位,第四开关晶体管T4导通,选择驱动输出端Output的电位为低电位。
在第五阶段t5,Input=0,ck1=0,ckb1=1,Reset=0,EN=1。
由于ckb1=1,第七开关晶体管T7导通,第二节点PD的电位为高电位,第十二开关晶体管T12导通,驱动信号输出端Out的电位为低电位。由于第二节点PD的电位为高电位,第八开关晶体管T8导通,第一节点PU的电位为低电位。由于EN=1,第一开关晶体管T1和第二开关晶体管T2导通,第四节点B的电位为高电位,第四开关晶体管T4导通,选择驱动输出端Output的电位为低电位。
之后,移位寄存器一直重复第四阶段和第五阶段,直至输入信号端Input的电位再次变为高电位。
需要说明的是本发明上述实施例中提到的开关晶体管可以是薄膜晶体管(TFT,Thin Film Transistor),也可以是金属氧化物半导体场效应管(MOS,Metal Oxide Semiconductor),在此不做限定。在具体实施中,这些开关晶体管的源极和漏极根据晶体管类型以及输入信号的不同,其功能可以互换,在此不做具体区分。
基于同一发明构思,本发明实施例还提供了一种栅极驱动电路,如图6所示,包括级联的多个上述移位寄存器:SR(1)、SR(2)、……、SR(N-1)、SR(N) (共N个移位寄存器)。
除最后一级移位寄存器SR(N)之外,其余每一级移位寄存器SR(m)的驱动信号输出端OUT_m(1≤m≤N)分别与与其相邻的下一级移位寄存器SR(m+1)的输入信号端Input相连。
第一级移位寄存器SR(1)的信号输入端Input用于接收触发信号;除第一级移位寄存器SR(1)之外,其余每一级移位寄存器SR(m)的驱动信号输出端OUT_m分别与与其相邻的上一级移位寄存器SR(m-1)的复位信号端Reset相连。
各级移位寄存器SR(m)的选择驱动输出端Output_m用于与栅线相连。
上述栅极驱动电路通过各级移位寄存器SR(m)的选择驱动输出端Output_m与对应的栅线gatem连接,用于顺序地向对应的栅线输出扫描信号。
进一步地,在本发明实施例提供的上述栅极驱动电路中,如图6所示,一般奇数级移位寄存器的第一时钟信号端ck1与偶数级移位寄存器的第二时钟信号端ckb1用于接收同一时钟信号(图中表示为CK1),奇数级移位寄存器的第二时钟信号端ckb1与偶数级移位寄存器的第一时钟信号端ck1用于接收同一时钟信号(图中表示为CKB1)。
基于同一发明构思,本发明实施例还提供了一种显示面板,如图7所示,包括N条栅线(gate1、gate2、gate3…),分别位于显示面板两侧且均与N条栅线连接的第一栅极驱动电路GOA1和第二栅极驱动电路GOA2,其中,第一栅极驱动电路GOA1和第二栅极驱动电路GOA2均为本发明实施例提供的上述栅极驱动电路;且各栅极驱动电路中的移位寄存器SR(m)的选择驱动输出端Output_m与对应的栅线连接。
显示面板还包括驱动控制电路10,该驱动控制电路10与第一和第二栅极驱动电路(GOA1和GOA2)连接,至少用于向第一和第二栅极驱动电路(GOA1和GOA2)输出选择控制信号,向第一栅极驱动电路GOA1输出第一组时序控制信号(至少包括第一触发信号STV1、第一时钟信号CK1和第二时钟信号CKB1),向第二栅极驱动电路输出第二组时序控制信号(至少包括第二触发信号STV2、第三时钟信号CK2和第四时钟信号CKB2);其中,各组时序控制信号至少包括触发信号和时钟信号,且各组时序控制信号中触发信号的宽度相同,各栅极驱动电路(GOA1和GOA2)用于在接收的对应组时序控制信号的控制下依次由驱动信号输出端Out输出扫描信号。
下面以第一栅极驱动电路GOA1为例,具体说明一组时序控制信号对一个栅极驱动电路的控制。第一栅极驱动电路GOA1如图6所示,驱动控制电路向第一级移位寄存器SR(1)输入第一触发信号STV1,分别向奇数级移位寄存器的第一时钟信号端ck1和偶数级移位寄存器的第二时钟信号端ckb1输入第一时钟信号CK1,向奇数级移位寄存器的第二时钟信号端ckb1和偶数级移位寄存器的第一时钟信号端ck1输入第二时钟信号CKB1。
当第一级移位寄存器SR(1)收到第一触发信号STV1后,当第一时钟信号端ck1第一次接收到第一时钟信号CK1时驱动信号输出端Out_1输出扫描信号,此时若对应的输出控制单元处于导通状态,则选择驱动输出端Output_1向第1条栅线gate1输出扫描信号,第一级移位寄存器SR(1)的驱动信号输出端Out_1输出的扫描信号提供给第二级移位寄存器SR(2)的输入信号端Input;当第二级移位寄存器SR(2)收到第一级移位寄存器SR(1)输出的扫描信号后,当其第一时钟信号端ck1第一次接收到第二时钟信号CKB1时驱动信号输出端Out_2输出扫描信号,此时若对应的输出控制单元处于导通状态,则选择驱动输出端Output_2向第2条栅线gate2输出扫描信号,第二级移位寄存器SR(2)的驱动信号输出端Out_2输出的扫描信号提供给第三级移位寄存器SR(3)的输入信号端Input;当第三级移位寄存器SR(3)收到第二级移位寄存器SR(2)输出的扫描信号后,当其第一时钟信号端ck1接收到第一时钟信号CK1时驱动信号输出端Out_3输出扫描信号,此时若对应的输出控制单元处于导通状态,则选择驱动输出端Output_3向第3条栅线gate3输出扫描信号,第三级移位寄存器SR(3)的驱动信号输出端Out_3输出的扫描信号提供给第四级移位寄存器SR(4)的输入信号端Input,依次类推,各级移位寄存器依次向对应的栅线输出扫描信号。具体第一栅极驱动电路GOA1对应的输入输出时序图如图8所示。
此外,驱动控制电路10向第二栅极驱动电路GOA2的第一级移位寄存器输入第二触发信号,分别向奇数级移位寄存器的第一时钟信号端和偶数级移位寄存器的第二时钟信号端输入第三时钟信号,向奇数级移位寄存器的第二时钟信号端和偶数级移位寄存器的第一时钟信号端输入第四时钟信号。第二栅极驱动电路的具体工作原理与第一栅极驱动电路的工作原理相同,在此不作赘述。
较佳地,在本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板中,如图9a所示,还包括: 与驱动控制电路10连接的模式切换电路20。
模式切换电路20在接收到第一模式控制信号时,控制驱动控制电路10,使得第一组时序控制信号(至少包括第一触发信号STV1、第一时钟信号CK1和第二时钟信号CKB1)中各信号的时序比第二组时序控制信号(至少包括第二触发信号STV2、第三时钟信号CK2和第四时钟信号CKB2)中对应信号的时序延迟一个触发信号宽度。具体两组时序控制信号的时序图如图9b所示;由此,使各级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端依次有扫描信号输出;并且当第一驱动控制电路的第n级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端输出扫描信号时,第二驱动控制电路的第n+1级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端也输出扫描信号。
在此情况下,模式切换电路20还控制驱动控制电路10向第一栅极驱动电路GOA1中与奇数条栅线(gate1、gate3、gate5…)连接的移位寄存器(SR(1)、SR(3)、SR(5)…)的选择控制信号端均输出选择控制信号,向第二栅极驱动电路GOA2中与偶数条栅线(gate2、gate4、gate6…)连接的移位寄存器(SR(2)、SR(4)、SR(4)…)的选择控制信号端均输出选择控制信号。由此,使第一栅极驱动电路仅向奇数条栅线依次输出扫描信号,使第二栅极驱动电路仅向偶数条栅线依次输出扫描信号,从而实现沿扫描方向以相邻的两条栅线为一栅线组,各栅线组依次接收扫描信号,即显示面板是以两条栅线同时扫描的,显示面板的分辨率降低为1/2分辨率。
具体地,在图9a中,栅线起始端为黑点表示栅极驱动电路中的该移位寄存器的选择控制信号端是有选择控制信号的,对应的选择驱动输出端是可以输出扫描信号的,栅线起始端为圆圈表示栅极驱动电路中的该移位寄存器的选择控制信号端是没有选择控制信号的,对应的选择驱动输出端是不输出扫描信号的。
具体地,本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板,当模式切换电路20接收到第一模式控制信号时,显示面板上沿扫描方向各栅线上扫描信号的时序图如图9c所示。
较佳地,在本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板中,如图10a和图10d所示,还包括:分别连接在第一栅极驱动电路GOA1的第3n-2级移位寄存器的第三节点A与第3n级移位寄存器的第三节点A之间的第一开关器件30(具体结构图10a中未示出,参见图10d),以及分别连接在第一栅极驱动电路 GOA1的第3n-2级移位寄存器的第四节点B与第3n级移位寄存器的第四节点B之间的第二开关器件40(具体结构图10a中未示出,参见图10d,图10d为图10a中虚线框的局部具体结构示意图);其中n为大于1的整数。
模式切换电路20还在接收到第二模式控制信号时,控制所有第一开关器件30和所有第二开关器件40处于导通状态;使得第一栅极驱动电路GOA1的第3n-2级移位寄存器的第三节点A与第3n级移位寄存器的第三节点A的电位相同,以及使第一栅极驱动电路GOA1的第3n-2级移位寄存器的第四节点B与第3n级移位寄存器的第四节点B的电位相同,从而使第一栅极驱动电路GOA1的第3n-2级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端Output的电位与第3n级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端Output的电位相同,其中n为大于1的整数。
在此情况下,模式切换电路20还控制驱动控制电路10使得第二组时序控制信号(至少包括第二触发信号STV2、第三时钟信号CK2和第四时钟信号CKB2)中各信号的时序比第一组时序控制信号(至少包括第一触发信号STV1、第一时钟信号CK1和第二时钟信号CKB1)中对应信号的时序延迟一个触发信号宽度;具体两组时序控制信号的时序图如图10b所示。由此,使各级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端依次有扫描信号输出;并且当第二驱动控制电路GOA2的第j级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端输出扫描信号时,第一驱动控制电路GOA1的第j+1级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端也输出扫描信号,其中j为大于等于1的整数。
在此情况下,模式切换电路20还控制驱动控制电路10向第一栅极驱动电路GOA1中与第3n条栅线连接的移位寄存器的选择控制信号端均输出选择控制信号,向第二栅极驱动电路GOA2中与第3n-1条栅线连接的移位寄存器的选择控制信号端均输出选择控制信号。由此,使第一栅极驱动电路GOA1仅向第3n条栅线依次输出扫描信号,使第二栅极驱动电路GOA2仅向第3n-1条栅线依次输出扫描信号,从而实现沿扫描方向以相邻的三条栅线为一栅线组,各栅线组依次接收扫描信号,即显示面板是以三条栅线同时扫描的,显示面板的分辨率降低为1/3分辨率。
具体地,在图10a中,栅线起始端为黑点表示栅极驱动电路中的该移位寄存器的选择控制信号端是有选择控制信号的,对应的选择驱动输出端是可以输出扫描信号的,栅线起始端为圆圈表示栅极驱动电路中的该移位寄存器的选择控制信号端是没有选择控制信号的,对应的选择驱动输出端是不输出 扫描信号的,然而由于第一栅极驱动电路GOA1中的所有第一开关器件30和所有第二开关器件40均处于导通状态,因此第一栅极驱动电路GOA1中第3n-2级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端与第3n级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端输出相同的扫描信号。
具体地,本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板,当模式切换电路接收到第二模式控制信号时,显示面板上沿扫描方向各栅线上扫描信号的时序图如图10c所示。
较佳地,在本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板中,如图11a所示,还包括:分别连接在第一栅极驱动电路GOA1的第4n-1级移位寄存器的第三节点A与第4n-3级移位寄存器的第三节点A之间的第三开关器件50,分别连接在第一栅极驱动电路GOA1的第4n-1级移位寄存器的第四节点B与第4n-3级移位寄存器的第四节点B之间的第四开关器件60,分别连接在第二栅极驱动电路GOA2的第4n级移位寄存器的第三节点A与第4n-2级移位寄存器的第三节点A之间的第五开关器件70,以及分别连接在第二栅极驱动电路GOA2的第4n级移位寄存器的第四节点B与第4n-2级移位寄存器的第四节点B之间的第六开关器件80,其中n为大于等于1的整数。
模式切换电路20在接收到第三模式控制信号时,控制所有的第一开关器件30和所有第二开关器件40处于关闭状态;控制所有的第三开关器件50、所有第四开关器件60、所有第五开关器件70和所有第六开关器件80处于导通状态。由此,使第一栅极驱动电路的第4n-1级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端的电位与第4n-3级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端的电位相同;使第二栅极驱动电路的第4n级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端的电位与第4n-2级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端的电位相同。
在此情况下,所述模式切换电路20还控制驱动控制电路10使得第一组时序控制信号中各信号的时序比第二组时序控制信号中对应信号的时序延迟一个触发信号宽度。由此,不仅使各级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端依次有扫描信号输出;而且当第一驱动控制电路的第j级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端输出扫描信号时,第二驱动控制电路的第j+1级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端也输出扫描信号。
在此情况下,所述模式切换电路20还控制驱动控制电路10向第一栅极驱动电路GOA1中与第4n-1条栅线连接的移位寄存器的选择控制信号端均输 出选择控制信号,向第二栅极驱动电路中与第4n条栅线连接的移位寄存器的选择控制信号端均输出选择控制信号。此时,如上所述,第一栅极驱动电路GOA1的第4n-1级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端的电位与第4n-3级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端的电位相同;第二栅极驱动电路GOA2的第4n级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端的电位与第4n-2级移位寄存器的选择驱动输出端的电位相同。由此,第一栅极驱动电路GOA1同时向第4n-1条和第4n-3条栅线输出扫描信号,第二栅极驱动电路GOA2同时向第4n条和第4n-2条栅线输出扫描信号,从而实现沿扫描方向以相邻的四条栅线为一栅线组,各栅线组依次接收扫描信号,即显示面板是以四条栅线同时扫描的,显示面板的分辨率降低为1/4分辨率。
具体地,本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板,当模式切换电路接收到第三模式控制信号时,显示面板上沿扫描方向各栅线上扫描信号的时序图如图11b所示。
较佳地,在本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板中,模式切换电路20还用于,在接收到第四模式控制信号时:控制所有的开关器件处于关闭状态,以保证各栅线的信号之间互相不影响;
在此情况下,所述模式切换电路20还控制驱动控制电路10使第二组时序控制信号中各信号的时序与第一组时序控制信号中对应信号的时序相同;由此,使当第一驱动控制电路GOA1的第n级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端输出扫描信号时,第二驱动控制电路GOA2的第n级移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端也输出扫描信号。
在此情况下,所述模式切换电路20还控制驱动控制电路10向所有移位寄存器的选择控制信号端均输出选择控制信号。由此,使第一栅极驱动电路向N条栅线依次输出扫描信号,使第二栅极驱动电路向N条栅线依次输出扫描信号,从而实现沿扫描方向逐行扫描的功能,即显示面板具有较高的分辨率。这样本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板,不仅可以在需要省电的时候实现低分辨率显示,并且可以在不需要省电的时候实现高分辨率显示。
具体地,本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板,当模式切换电路20接收到第四模式控制信号时,显示面板上沿扫描方向各栅线上扫描信号的时序图如图12所示。
需要说明的是,在本发明实施例提供的显示面板中,第一模式控制信号、 第二模式控制信号、第三模式控制信号和第四模式控制信号中,各模式控制信号的维持时长是扫描N条栅线所用的时长的整数倍,且任意两个模式控制信号之间的切换点与扫描栅线的起始点同步。
进一步地,本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板,开关器件可以是开关晶体管,也可以是其它电子开关控制模块,在此不作限定。
具体地,本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板,通过在移位寄存器中设置输出控制单元、第二上拉单元、第二下拉单元,在移位寄存器之间增加开关器件,以及控制两组时序控制信号的时序达到降低分辨率的目的,虽然本发明实施例只是给出了四种情况,但是基于上述思想得到的实现1/5分辨、1/6分辨等的显示面板也属于本发明的保护范围。
在具体实施时,在本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板,使用者可以根据实际需求通过该显示面板的操作界面向模式切换电路发送模式控制信号,在此不作限定。
进一步地,本发明实施例提供的上述显示面板,既可以是液晶显示面板,也可以是有机电致发光显示面板,在此不作限定。
基于同一发明构思,本发明实施例还提供了一种显示装置,包括本发明实施例提供的上述任一种显示面板。该显示装置可以为:手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。该显示装置的实施可以参见上述显示面板的实施例,重复之处不再赘述。
基于同一发明构思,本发明实施例还提供了上述显示面板的驱动方法,包括:
