技术领域
本公开涉及显示技术领域,特别涉及一种移位寄存器、其驱动方法、栅极驱动电路及显示装置。
背景技术
随着显示技术的飞速发展,显示面板越来越向着高集成度和低成本的方向发展。阵列基板行驱动(Gate Driver on Array,GOA)技术将薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)控制极开关电路集成在显示面板的阵列基板上以实现对显示面板的扫描驱动,从而可以省去控制极集成电路(Integrated Circuit,IC)的键合(Bonding)区域以及扇出(Fan-out)区域的布线空间。因此,GOA技术不仅可以在材料成本和制备工艺两方面降低产品成本,而且可以使显示面板实现两边对称和窄边框的美观设计。此外,这种集成工艺还可以省去控制极扫描线方向的键合工艺,从而提高产能和良率。
一般的栅极驱动电路由多个级联的移位寄存器组成。通过各级移位寄存器依次向显示面板上的各行栅线输入扫描信号。目前,在各级移位寄存器输出扫描信号的有效脉冲信号之后,当移位寄存器的驱动信号输出端处于低电位维持阶段时,下拉晶体管在下拉节点的信号的控制下将低电位的参考信号提供给驱动信号输出端,以使驱动信号输出端处于低电位的输出状态。然而在低电位维持阶段,下拉晶体管的控制极的电位会出现泄漏,即下拉节点的信号的电位会发生变化,导致下拉晶体管不能完全开启,甚至可能会导致下拉晶体管截止,从而造成驱动信号输出端不能维持低电位的情况。这样的情况可能降低移位寄存器的稳定性,进而可能会造成显示出现异常。

由于Input=1,因此第一晶体管M1和第三晶体管M3均截止。由于Reset=0,因此第二晶体管M2和第四晶体管M4均导通。由于第四晶体管M4导通而将低电位的复位信号端Reset的信号提供给第二节点 B,因此第二节点B为低电位,从而对第一电容器C1充电。由于CS=0,因此第九晶体管M9导通。由于第九晶体管M9导通而将低电位的节点稳定控制信号端CS的信号提供给第二节点B,因此进一步保证第二节点B为低电位。由于第二节点B为低电位,因此第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8均导通。由于第七晶体管M7导通而将高电位的参考信号端VSS的信号提供给驱动信号输出端Output,因此驱动信号输出端Output为高电位,即输出高电位的扫描信号。由于第二晶体管M2导通而将高电位的参考信号端VSS的信号提供给第一节点A,因此第一节点A的电位为高电位,并且使得第二电容器C2放电。由于第八晶体管M8导通而将高电位的参考信号端VSS的信号提供给第一节点A,因此进一步保证第一节点A为高电位。由于第一节点A的电位为高电位,因此第六晶体管M6截止。
在第五阶段T5中,在前半阶段,Input=1,Reset=1,CLK=1,CS=1。
由于Input=1,因此第一晶体管M1和第三晶体管M3均截止。由于CS=1,因此第九晶体管M9截止。由于Reset=1,因此第二晶体管M2和第四晶体管M4均截止,并且第二节点B处于浮接状态。由于第二节点B处于浮接状态,因此第二节点B的电位保持为低电位,使得第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8均导通。由于第七晶体管M7导通而将高电位的参考信号端VSS的信号提供给驱动信号输出端Output,因此驱动信号输出端Output为高电位,即输出高电位的扫描信号。由于第八晶体管M8导通而将高电位的参考信号端VSS的信号提供给第一节点A,因此进一步保证第一节点A为高电位。由于第一节点A的电位为高电位,因此第六晶体管M6截止。
在第五阶段T5中,在后半阶段,Input=1,Reset=1,CLK=0,CS=1。
由于Input=1,因此第一晶体管M1和第三晶体管M3均截止。由于CS=1,因此第九晶体管M9截止。由于Reset=1,因此第二晶体管M2和第四晶体管M4均截止,并且第二节点B处于浮接状态。由于第二节点B处于浮接状态,CLK=0并且第一电容器C1连接于第二节点B和时钟信号端CLK之间,因此第二节点B的电位通过第一电容器C1的自举作用而被进一步拉低,使得第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8完全导通。由于第七晶体管M7完全导通而将高电位的参考信号端VSS的信号无电压损失地提供给驱动信号输出端Output,因此驱动信号输 出端Output为高电位,即输出高电位的扫描信号。由于第八晶体管M8完全导通而将高电位的参考信号端VSS的信号无电压损失地提供给第一节点A,因此进一步保证第一节点A为高电位。由于第一节点A的电位为高电位,因此第六晶体管M6截止。
在本公开实施例提供的上述移位寄存器中,在第五阶段之后,一直重复执行第五阶段的工作过程,直至下一帧开始。
在本公开实施例提供的上述移位寄存器中,在第五阶段及第五阶段之后,由于第一电容器的自举作用,可以使第二节点的电位保持为低电位的状态,以保证第七晶体管始终导通,从而将高电位的参考信号端的信号提供给驱动信号输出端,进而保持驱动信号输出端始终为高电位的状态。因此,移位寄存器的稳定性被提供。当该移位寄存器应用于显示装置时,可以提高显示装置的显示稳定性。
本公开实施例还提供了一种本公开实施例提供的上述任一种移位寄存器的驱动方法。所述驱动方法包括第一阶段、第二阶段、第三阶段、第四阶段以及第五阶段。

在步骤S502处,在第二阶段中,第一输出模块在第一节点处于浮接状态时,保持第一节点与驱动信号输出端之间的电压差稳定,以及在第一节点的信号的控制下将时钟信号端的信号提供给驱动信号输出端;节点控制模块在驱动信号输出端的信号的控制下将参考信号端的信号提供给第二节点。
在步骤S503处,在第三阶段中,第一输出模块在第一节点处于浮接状态时,保持第一节点与驱动信号输出端之间的电压差稳定,以及在第一节点的信号的控制下将时钟信号端的信号提供给驱动信号输出端;电位维持模块在第二节点处于浮接状态时,保持时钟信号端与第二节点之间的电压差稳定。

具体地,上述栅极驱动电路中的每个移位寄存器的具体结构与本公开上述移位寄存器在功能和结构上均相同,重复之处不再赘述。
在一些示例性实施例中,为了减少信号线的数量,每级移位寄存器中的节点稳定控制信号端与输入信号端可以为同一信号端。
