下面将结合附图详细描述本公开的实施例。
图1是根据本公开实施例的移位寄存器单元电路100的框图。参考图1,移位寄存器单元电路100包括第一节点控制电路110、第二节点控制电路120、和至少两个输出电路。为了图示和描述的方便,在图1中仅示出了第一输出电路130和第二输出电路140。
第一节点控制电路110被配置成响应于来自输入端IN的输入脉冲有效而将来自第一扫描电平端CN的有效电位供应到第一节点N1。第一节点控制电路110还被配置成响应于来自复位端RST的复位脉冲有效而将来自第二扫描电平端CNB的无效电位供应到所述第一节点N1。第一节点控制电路110还被配置成响应于第二节点N2处于有效电位而将来自第一参考电平端VGL的无效电位供应到所述第一节点N1。
第二节点控制电路120被配置成响应于所述第一节点N1处于有效电位而将来自所述第一参考电平端VGL的无效电位供应到所述第二节点N2。第二节点控制电路120还被配置成响应于所述第一节点N1处于无效电位且来自复位维持端CKB的复位维持信号有效而将第二节点N2设定处于有效电位。
第一输出电路130连接到内部节点ND1(图1中未示出)、时钟端CLK1和输出端OUT1。内部节点ND1电连接到所述第一节点N1。第一输出电路130被配置成响应于内部节点ND1处于有效电位而将来自所述时钟端CLK1的时钟信号供应到所述输出端OUT1。第一输出电路130还被配置成响应于所述第二节点N2处于有效电位而将来自所述第一参考电平端VGL的无效电位供应到所述输出端OUT1。第一输出电路130还被配置成响应于所述输出端OUT1的电位的变化而引起所述内部节点ND1的电位的变化。
第二输出电路140连接到内部节点ND2(图1中未示出)、时钟端CLK2和输出端OUT2。第二输出电路140被配置成与第一输出电路130类似地工作,其描述为了简单起见在此被省略。
如本文使用的术语“有效电位”是指所涉及的电路元件(例如,晶体 管)被启用所处的电位。相反,术语“无效电位”是指所涉及的电路元件被禁用所处的电位。对于n型晶体管而言,有效电位是高电位,并且无效电位是低电位。对于p型晶体管而言,有效电位是低电位,并且无效电位是高电位。
图2是如图1所示的移位寄存器单元电路100的示例电路100A的电路图。下面结合图2描述移位寄存器单元电路100的示例配置。
第一节点控制电路110包括第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2以及第三晶体管M3。第一晶体管M1具有连接到所述输入端IN的栅极、连接到所述第一节点N1的第一电极、以及连接到所述第一扫描电平端CN的第二电极。第二晶体管M2具有连接到所述复位端RST的栅极、连接到所述第二扫描电平端CNB的第一电极、以及连接到所述第一节点N1的第二电极。第三晶体管M3具有连接到所述第二节点N2的栅极、连接到所述第一节点N1的第一电极、以及连接到所述第一参考电平端VGL的第二电极。
第二节点控制电路120包括第四晶体管M4、第五晶体管M5以及第一电容器C1。第四晶体管M4具有连接到所述第一节点N1的栅极、连接到所述第一参考电平端VGL的第一电极、以及连接到所述第二节点N2的第二电极。第五晶体管M5具有连接到所述复位维持端CKB的栅极、连接到所述复位维持端CKB的第一电极、以及连接到所述第二节点N2的第二电极。第一电容器C1连接在所述第二节点N2与所述第一参考电平端VGL之间。
第一输出电路130包括其自己的第一传送晶体管MT11、第二传送晶体管MT12和输出电容器OC1。第一传送晶体管MT11具有连接到内部节点ND1的栅极、连接到输出端OUT1的第一电极、以及连接到时钟端CLK1的第二电极。第二传送晶体管MT12具有连接到所述第二节点N2的栅极、连接到所述第一参考电平端VGL的第一电极、以及连接到所述输出端OUT1的第二电极。输出电容器OC1连接在所述内部节点ND1与所述输出端OUT1之间。
第二输出电路140具有与第一输出电路130相同的配置。具体地,如图2所示,第一输出电路130包括其自己的第一传送晶体管MT21、第二传送晶体管MT22和输出电容器OC2。
在示例电路100A中,第一和第二输出电路130和140的内部节点 ND1和ND2直接连接到第一节点N1。因此,各内部节点ND1和ND2的电位在任何时候都等于第一节点N1的电位。
图3是如图1所示的移位寄存器单元电路100的另一示例电路100B的电路图。在示例电路100B中,第一节点控制电路110、第二节点控制电路120、第一输出电路130和第二输出电路140的配置与上面关于图2描述的那些相同,并且为了简单起见在此被省略。
示例电路100B与图2的示例电路100A的不同之处在于,第一和第二输出电路130和140的内部节点ND1和ND2现在通过各自的第三传送晶体管MT13和MT23连接到第一节点N1。如图3所示,第三传送晶体管MT13具有连接到用于供应有效电位的第二参考电平端VGH的栅极、连接到所述第一节点N1的第一电极、以及连接到内部节点ND1的第二电极。类似地,第三传送晶体管MT23具有连接到用于供应有效电位的第二参考电平端VGH的栅极、连接到所述第一节点N1的第一电极、以及连接到内部节点ND2的第二电极。
第三传送晶体管MT13和MT23的添加可以是有利的。具体地,当输出端OUT1和OUT2的电位从无效电位(在图3的示例中,低电平)被改变到有效电位(在图3的示例中,高电平)时,内部节点ND1和ND2的电位由于输出电容器OC1和OC2的自举效应而升高,并且第一节点N1的电位由于最初开启的第三传送晶体管MT13和MT23的原因也相应地升高。当第一节点N1的电位升高到等于第二参考电平端VGH所供应的有效电位时,第三传送晶体管MT13和MT23被关断,使得第一节点N1的电位的升高被限制。这可以避免从第一节点N1通过第二晶体管M2流到第二扫描电平端CNB的漏电流的潜在的增大。进一步地,由于使得第一节点N1与内部节点ND1和ND2不导通,由于漏电流所致的第一节点N1的电位的下降不会影响内部节点ND1和ND2的电位,从而保证从输出端OUT1和OUT2输出的栅极驱动信号不会恶化。这在其中漏电流显著增大的高温场景下尤为有利。
图4是如图3所示的示例电路100B在第一工作模式下的时序图。下面参考图4描述图3的示例电路100B的操作。在下文中,以1表示高电平,并且以0表示低电平。还假定:第一扫描电平端CN和第二参考电平端供应高电平电压,并且第二扫描电平端CNB和第一参考电平端VGL供应低电平电压。
如图4所示,在第一工作模式下,供应到N个输出电路(在该示例中,N=2)的N个时钟端CLK1和CLK2的时钟信号具有相同周期和1/2N的占空比,并且第n个时钟信号相对于第n-1个时钟信号被延迟1/2N个周期,其中n为整数且1<n≤N。
在阶段P1,IN=1,CLK1=0,CLK2=0,CKB=0,RST=0。第一晶体管M1开启,并且将来自第一扫描电平端CN的高电平电压传送到第一节点N1,使得第一节点N1被设定处于有效电位(在该示例中,高电平)。开启的第三传送晶体管MT13和MT23将第一节点N1的有效电位传送到内部节点ND1和ND2,使得第一传送晶体管MT11和MT21开启。无效的时钟信号分别通过第一传送晶体管MT11和MT21被传送到输出端OUT1和OUT2,使得输出端OUT1和OUT2处于无效电位(在该示例中,低电平)。
在阶段P2,IN=0,CLK1=1,CLK2=0,CKB=0,RST=0。输出电容器OC1和OC2保持内部节点ND1和ND2处于有效电位,使得第一传送晶体管MT11和MT21保持开启。有效的时钟信号从时钟端CLK1被传送到输出端OUT1,使得输出端OUT1处于有效电位。无效的时钟信号从时钟端CLK2被传送到输出端OUT2,使得输出端OUT2处于无效电位。由于输出电容器OC1的自举效应,内部节点ND1和第一节点N1的电位被进一步拉高。如上所述,当第一节点N1的电位升高到等于第三传送晶体管MT13的栅极电压VGH时,第三传送晶体管MT13被关断,使得第一节点N1和内部节点ND1不导通。
在阶段P3,IN=0,CLK1=0,CLK2=1,CKB=0,RST=0。无效的时钟信号通过开启的第一传送晶体管MT11从时钟端CLK1被传送到输出端OUT1,使得输出端OUT1处于无效电位。由于输出电容器OC1的自举效应,内部节点ND1的电位被拉低但是仍然处于有效电位。有效的时钟信号从时钟端CLK2通过开启的第一传送晶体管MT21被传送到输出端OUT2,使得输出端OUT2处于有效电位。由于输出电容器OC2的自举效应,内部节点ND2和第一节点N1的电位被进一步拉高。如上所述,当第一节点N1的电位升高到等于第三传送晶体管MT23的栅极电压VGH时,第三传送晶体管MT23被关断,使得第一节点N1和内部节点ND2不导通。
在阶段P4,IN=0,CLK1=0,CLK2=0,CKB=1,RST=1。第二晶 体管T2被开启,并且将来自第二扫描电平端CNB的低电平电压传送到第一节点N1,使得第一节点N1被设定处于无效电位。第五晶体管M5被开启,并且将来自复位维持端CKB的有效电位传送到第二节点N2,使得第二传送晶体管MT12和MT22被开启并且第一电容器C1被充电。来自第一参考电平端VGL的低电平电压被传送到输出端OUT1和OUT2,使得输出端OUT1和OUT2处于无效电位。
此后,来自复位维持端CKB的复位维持信号周期性地对第一电容器C1充电,从而保持第二节点N2处于有效电位。第二传送晶体管MT12和MT22被保持开启,并且将来自第一参考电平端VGL的无效电位传送到输出端OUT1和OUT2。因此,输出端OUT1和OUT2保持处于无效电位。
图5是如图3所示的示例电路100B在第二工作模式下的时序图。下面参考图5描述图3的示例电路100B的操作。
如图5所示,在第二工作模式下,供应到N个输出电路(在该示例中,N=2)的N个时钟端CLK1和CLK2的时钟信号完全相同(identical)。
在阶段P1′,IN=1,CLK1=0,CLK2=0,CKB=0,RST=0。第一晶体管M1开启,并且将来自第一扫描电平端CN的高电平电压传送到第一节点N1,使得第一节点N1被设定处于有效电位。开启的第三传送晶体管MT13和MT23将第一节点N1的有效电位传送到内部节点ND1和ND2,使得第一传送晶体管MT11和MT21开启。无效的时钟信号分别通过第一传送晶体管MT11和MT21被传送到输出端OUT1和OUT2,使得输出端OUT1和OUT2处于无效电位。
在阶段P2′,IN=0,CLK1=1,CLK2=1,CKB=0,RST=0。输出电容器OC1和OC2保持内部节点ND1和ND2处于有效电位,使得第一传送晶体管MT11和MT21保持开启。有效的时钟信号从时钟端CLK1被传送到输出端OUT1,使得输出端OUT1处于有效电位。有效的时钟信号从时钟端CLK2被传送到输出端OUT2,使得输出端OUT2处于有效电位。由于输出电容器OC1和OC2的自举效应,内部节点ND1和ND2(以及第一节点N1)的电位被进一步拉高。当第一节点N1的电位升高到等于第三传送晶体管MT13和MT23的栅极电压VGH时,第三传送晶体管MT13和MT23被关断,使得第一节点N1和内部节点 ND1和ND2不导通。
在阶段P3′,IN=0,CLK1=0,CLK2=0,CKB=1,RST=1。第二晶体管T2被开启,并且将来自第二扫描电平端CNB的低电平电压传送到第一节点N1,使得第一节点N1被设定处于无效电位。第五晶体管M5被开启,并且将来自复位维持端CKB的有效电位传送到第二节点N2,使得第二传送晶体管MT12和MT22被开启并且第一电容器C1被充电。来自第一参考电平端VGL的低电平电压被传送到输出端OUT1和OUT2,使得输出端OUT1和OUT2处于无效电位。
此后,来自复位维持端CKB的复位维持信号周期性地对第一电容器C1充电,从而保持第二节点N2处于有效电位。第二传送晶体管MT12和MT22被保持开启,并且将来自第一参考电平端VGL的无效电位传送到输出端OUT1和OUT2。因此,输出端OUT1和OUT2保持处于无效电位。
图6是根据本公开实施例的栅极驱动电路600的框图。参考图6,栅极驱动电路600包括多个级联的移位寄存器单元电路S1、S2、S3、S4...S4K-1、S4K(K为正整数),并且每个移位寄存器单元电路被图示为具有两个时钟端CLK1和CLK2和两个输出端OUT1和OUT2。移位寄存器单元电路S1、S2、S3、S4...S4K-1、S4K一起工作以便向栅线G[1]、G[2]、G[3]、G[4]、G[5]、G[6]、G[7]、G[8]...G[8K-3]、G[8K-2]、G[8K-1]、G[8K]提供各自的栅极驱动信号。这些移位寄存器单元电路中的每一个可以是如上所述的移位寄存器单元电路100。更一般地,每个移位寄存器单元电路可以被描述为具有N个时钟端和N个输出端(N为大于或等于2的整数)。
如图6所示,除移位寄存器单元电路S1之外,所述多个移位寄存器单元电路中的每一个的输入端IN连接到相邻上一个移位寄存器单元电路的N个输出端中的最后一个(在图6的示例中,OUT2)。除移位寄存器单元电路S4K之外,所述多个移位寄存器单元电路中每一个的复位端RST连接到相邻下一个移位寄存器单元电路的N个输出端中的第一个(在图6的示例中,OUT1)。所述多个移位寄存器单元电路中的第2k-1个(k为正整数)的N个时钟端被配置成从包括N条时钟线的第一组时钟线(在图6的示例中,clk3和clk4)接收各自的时钟信号。所述多个移位寄存器单元电路中的第2k个的N个时钟端被配置成 从包括N条时钟线的第二组时钟线(在图6的示例中,clk1和clk2)接收各自的时钟信号。另外,第4k-3个、第4k-2个、第4k-1个和第4k个移位寄存器单元电路的复位维持端CKB分别从复位维持信号线clkr1、clkl1、clkr2和clkl2接收复位维持信号。
在图6的示例中,栅极驱动电路600被配置为工作在正向扫描模式下,其中起始脉冲STV被施加到第一个移位寄存器单元电路S1。虽然未图示,栅极驱动电路600也可以被配置为工作在反向扫描模式下,其中起始脉冲被施加到最后一个移位寄存器单元电路S4K。将理解的是,取决于扫描方向,移位寄存器单元电路的输入端IN和复位端RST可互换地使用,并且第一扫描电平端CN和第二扫描电平端CNB可互换地使用。在正向扫描模式下,第一扫描电平端CN供应有效电平电压,第二扫描电平端CNB供应无效电平电压,并且输入端IN和复位端RST被正常地使用。在反向扫描模式下,第一扫描电平端CN供应无效电平电压,并且第二扫描电平端CNB供应有效电平电压。在这种情况下,输入端IN充当“复位端”,并且复位端RST充当“输入端”。
另外,虽然栅极驱动电路600被图示为包括4的整数倍个移位寄存器单元电路,并且每个移位寄存器单元电路被图示为具有两个时钟端和两个输出端,但是本公开不限于此。
图7是如图6所示的栅极驱动电路600在第一工作模式下的时序图。在第一工作模式下,施加到每一个移位寄存器单元电路的N个时钟端接收的N个时钟信号具有1/2N的占空比(在该示例中,N=2),并且该N个时钟信号中的第n个(例如,clk4或clk2)相对于该N个时钟信号中的第n-1个(例如,clk3或clk1)被延迟1/2N个周期(n为整数且1<n≤N)。
如图7所示,第一组时钟信号(clk3和clk4)和第二组时钟信号(clk1和clk2)具有相同的周期,并且第二组时钟信号中的每一个相对于第一组时钟信号中的对应一个被延迟1/N个周期。例如,clk1相对于clk3被延迟1/N个周期,并且clk2相对于clk4被延迟1/N个周期。各个移位寄存器单元电路的操作与上面关于图4描述的那些相同,并且为了简单起见在此被省略。结果得到的栅极驱动信号如图7所示。为了图示的方便,在图7中仅示出了前四个移位寄存器单元电路生成的栅极驱动信号G[1]、G[2]、G[3]、G[4]、G[5]、G[6]、G[7]、G[8]。
图8是如图6所示的栅极驱动电路600在第二工作模式下的时序图。在第二工作模式下,施加到每一个移位寄存器单元电路的N个(在该示例中,N=2)时钟端接收的N个时钟信号完全相同。
如图8所示,第一组时钟信号(clk3和clk4)和第二组时钟信号(clk1和clk2)具有相同的周期,并且第二组时钟信号中的每一个相对于第一组时钟信号中的对应一个被延迟1/N个周期。例如,clk1相对于clk3被延迟1/N个周期,并且clk2相对于clk4被延迟1/N个周期。各个移位寄存器单元电路的操作与上面关于图5描述的那些相同,并且为了简单起见在此被省略。结果得到的栅极驱动信号如图8所示。为了图示的方便,在图8中仅示出了前四个移位寄存器单元电路生成的栅极驱动信号G[1]、G[2]、G[3]、G[4]、G[5]、G[6]、G[7]、G[8]。
第二工作模式可以是有利的,因为每个移位寄存器单元电路生成的N个栅极驱动信号是同步的,如图8中所示的,这意味着N行像素可以被同时扫描到(被供应数据信号),并且因此提供更高的刷新速率。这可以导致改进的显示效果。
图9是根据本公开实施例的显示装置900的框图。参考图9,显示装置900包括显示面板910、时序控制器920、栅极驱动电路930和数据驱动电路940。栅极驱动电路930可以是上面关于图6所述的栅极驱动电路600。
显示面板910连接至多个栅极线GL和多个数据线DL。显示面板910基于输出图像数据RGBD’显示具有多个灰度的图像。栅极线GL可在第一方向D1延伸,并且数据线DL可在与第一方向D1交叉(例如,基本垂直)的第二方向D2延伸。显示面板910可包括以矩阵形式排列的多个像素(未示出)。每个像素可电连接至栅极线GL的对应一个栅极线和数据线DL的对应一个数据线。显示面板910可以是液晶显示面板、有机发光二极管(OLED)显示面板或其他合适类型的显示面板。
时序控制器920控制显示面板910、栅极驱动电路930和数据驱动电路940的操作。时序控制器920从外部设备(例如,主机)接收输入图像数据RGBD和输入控制信号CONT。输入图像数据RGBD可包括用于多个像素的多个输入像素数据。每个输入像素数据可包括用于多个像素中的对应一个的红色灰度数据R、绿色灰度数据G和蓝色灰度数据B。输入控制信号CONT可包括主时钟信号、数据使能信号、 垂直同步信号、水平同步信号等。时序控制器920基于输入图像数据RGBD和输入控制信号CONT生成输出图像数据RGBD’、第一控制信号CONT1和第二控制信号CONT2。
栅极驱动电路930从时序控制器920接收第一控制信号CONT1。栅极驱动电路930基于第一控制信号CONT1生成用于驱动栅极线GL的多个栅极信号。栅极驱动电路930可顺序地将多个栅极信号施加至栅极线GL。
数据驱动电路940从时序控制器920接收第二控制信号CONT2和输出图像数据RGBD’。数据驱动电路940基于第二控制信号CONT2和输出图像数据RGBD’(例如,数字图像数据)生成多个数据电压(例如,模拟数据电压)。数据驱动电路940可将多个数据电压施加至数据线DL。
在一些示例性实施例中,栅极驱动电路930和/或数据驱动电路940可被设置(例如,直接安装)在显示面板910上,或者可以借助例如带式载体封装(Tape Carrier Package,TCP)连接至显示面板910。在一些实施例中,栅极驱动电路930和/或数据驱动电路940可被集成在显示面板910中。
显示装置900的示例包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪。
将理解的是,在各实施例中,虽然各晶体管被图示和描述为n型晶体管,但是p型晶体管是可能的。在p型晶体管的情况下,栅极开启电压具有低电平,并且栅极关闭电压具有高电平。在各实施例中,各晶体管可以例如是薄膜晶体管,其典型地被制作使得它们的第一电极和第二电极可互换地使用。还设想了其他实施例。
以上所述是本公开的优选实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本公开所述原理的前提下,还可以作出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也应视为本公开的保护范围。
