实施例一
图1是本发明的实施例中具有H个扫描时钟的GOA驱动电路的结构示意图,其中H为GOA驱动电路200中扫描时钟的个数,且H为大于0的整数。如图1所示,该驱动电路200包括多个GOA驱动单元210,所有GOA驱动单元210依次连接。具体地,上一级GOA驱动单元210的输出信号作为下一级GOA驱动单元210的触发信号,且第一级GOA驱动单元210的触发信号由一触发时钟控制生成。下面结合图1详细地说明该驱动电路200的具体结构。
首先,对第一级GOA驱动单元210的结构进行说明,第一级GOA驱动单元210的主要结构包括触发单元211、输出单元212和下拉单元213。
触发单元211主要用于控制输出单元212的开启时间,实现液晶显示面板的逐行扫描。具体地,触发单元211由第一薄膜晶体管T11和第二薄膜晶体管T21构成。其中,T11用于将开启信号STV输出为触发信号。T11的栅极连接触发时钟,漏极连接开启信号STV,其源极生成触发信号。并且T11的源极与T21的栅极和漏极相连。T21用于输出第一行的扫描控制信号Q(1)。T21的栅极和漏极连接在一起,用于接收T11的源极生成的触发信号,其源极生成第一行的扫描控制信号Q(1)。T21的源极与输出单元212的控制端相连。
输出单元212主要用于将第一个扫描时钟信号CK(1)输出为第一行的扫描信号G(1)。具体地,输出单元212由第六薄膜晶体管T61和自举电容C构成。其中,T61的栅极作为输出单元212的控制端接收由触发单元211生成的第一行的扫描控制信号Q(1)。T61的漏极作为输出单元212的输入端接收第一个扫描时钟信号CK(1)。T61的源极作为输出单元212的输出端,连接第一行的扫描线G(1),用于生成并输出第一行的扫描信号G(1)。自举电容C的一端与T61的栅极相连,另一端与T61的源极相连。其中,自举电容C的作用是在Q(1)为高电平时,存储T61栅源端的电压(栅源端的电压即栅极和源极的电压差),并且当G(1)输出第一行的扫描信号G(1)后,二次抬升T61栅极的电压(即CK(1)为高电平时,第一行的扫描控制信号Q(1)点的电位受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升),以保证T61能够可靠地被开启并输出第一行的扫描信号G(1)。
在本实施例中,T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟被配置为:在输出单元212的输入端接收到的扫描时钟信号CK(1)为高电位时,控制触发单元211关闭。具体而言,在扫描时钟信号CK(1)由低电位变为高电位之前的一段时间内,触发时钟要控制触发单元211处于开启状态,而在扫描时钟信号CK(1)由低电位变为并保持在高电位期间,触发时钟要控制触发单元211处于关闭状态。
进一步地讲,在扫描时钟信号CK(1)由低电位变为高电位之前的一段时间内,触发时钟要控制T11处于开启状态,而在扫描时钟信号CK(1)由低电位变为并保持在高电位期间,触发时钟要控制T11处于关闭状态。
在本实施例中,T11和T21优选地为N型薄膜晶体管。则,首先在扫描时钟信号CK(1)由低电位变为高电位之前的一段时间内,触发时钟要保持高电平以使T11开启并生 成触发信号,进而使T21在其栅极和漏极接收到该触发信号后能够开启并生成第一行的扫描控制信号Q(1)。然后在扫描时钟CK(1)由低电位变为并保持在高电位期间,触发时钟要保持低电平以使T11关闭,从而使Q(1)点的电位能够受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升。因此,相比于现有技术,本实施例能够通过增加由触发时钟控制的第一薄膜晶体管T11来避免第一行的扫描线G(1)因STV未及时关闭而产生的充电不良。
本实施例为了使控制简单方便,优选地将T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟设定为,H个扫描时钟中除去第一个扫描时钟CK(1)后剩余的扫描时钟中的任意一个。换句话说,本实施例中T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟可以为除去CK(1)后的其余H-1个扫描时钟中的任意一个。进一步地,本实施例中T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟为第二个扫描时钟CK(2)。当然,也可以单独的设定一个时钟信号作为T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟,只要该时钟信号在输出单元212的扫描时钟CK(1)由低电位变为高电位的前一段时间内,能够控制触发单元211处于开启状态,并且在输出单元212的扫描时钟CK(1)由低电位变为并维持在高电位期间,能够控制触发单元211处于关闭状态即可。因此,在具体实施过程中,本领域技术人员可以根据实际需求来设定T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟。
下拉单元213用于即时将第六薄膜晶体管T61的源极电位和栅极电位拉低为低电位,即关闭第一行的扫描信号G(1)。具体地,下拉单元213由第七薄膜晶体管T71和第八薄膜晶体管T81构成。其中,T81用于下拉第一行的扫描信号G(1)的电位,T81的漏极与输出单元212的输出端连接,即作用于第一行的扫描线G(1)。T71用于下拉第一行的扫描控制信号Q(1),以便关闭第六薄膜晶体管T61。T71的漏极与输出单元212的控制端连接。T71的栅极与T81的栅极连接在一起,并与第二行的扫描线G(2)相连,即接收第二行的扫描线信号G(2),由有效的第二行的扫描线信号G(2)控制第一行的扫描信号G(1)关闭,实现逐行扫描。T71的源极与T81的源极共同连接于直流低电平VSS。
其次,由于第一级之后的所有GOA驱动单元210的结构相同,因此下面以第w级GOA驱动单元210的结构为例,来对第一级之后的GOA驱动单元210的结构进行说明,其中w为满足1<w≤M的整数,且M为GOA驱动单元的个数。第w级GOA驱动单元210的主要结构包括触发单元211、输出单元212和下拉单元213。
触发单元211主要用于控制输出单元212的开启时间,实现液晶显示面板的逐行扫描。具体地,触发单元211由第五薄膜晶体管T51构成,用于输出第w行的扫描控制信号Q(w)。T51的栅极和漏极连接在一起,用于接收前一级GOA驱动单元输出的第w-1行 的扫描信号G(w-1),其源极生成第w行的扫描控制信号Q(w)。T51的源极与输出单元212的控制端相连。
输出单元212主要用于将第q个扫描时钟信号CK(q)输出为第w行的扫描信号G(w),其中q=mod(w,H),mod函数是一个求余函数即返回两数相除的余数,w为被除数,H为除数。在此需要说明的是,在本实施例中当w能够整除H时,令q=H,即此时输出单元212用于将第H个扫描时钟信号CK(H)输出为第w行的扫描信号G(w)。具体地,输出单元212由第六薄膜晶体管T61和自举电容C构成。其中,T61的栅极作为输出单元212的控制端接收由触发单元211生成的第w行的扫描控制信号Q(w)。T61的漏极作为输出单元212的输入端接收第q个扫描时钟信号CK(q)。T61的源极作为输出单元212的输出端,连接第w行的扫描线G(w),用于生成并输出第w行的扫描信号G(w)。自举电容C的一端与T61的栅极相连,另一端与T61的源极相连。其中,自举电容C的作用是在Q(w)为高电平时,存储T61栅源端的电压,并且当G(w)输出第w行的扫描信号G(w)后,二次抬升T61栅极的电压(即该级的扫描时钟CK(q)为高电平时,第w行的扫描控制信号Q(w)点的电位受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升),以保证T61能够可靠地被开启并输出第w行的扫描信号G(w)。
下拉单元213用于即时将第六薄膜晶体管T61的源极电位和栅极电位拉低为低电位,即关闭第w行的扫描信号G(w)。具体地,下拉单元213由第七薄膜晶体管T71和第八薄膜晶体管T81构成。其中,T81用于下拉第w行的扫描信号G(w)的电位,T81的漏极与输出单元212的输出端连接,即作用于第w行的扫描线G(w)。T71用于下拉第w行的扫描控制信号Q(w),以便关闭第六薄膜晶体管T61。T71的漏极与输出单元212的控制端连接。T71的栅极与T81的栅极连接在一起,并与第w+1行的扫描线G(w+1)相连,即接收第w+1行的扫描线信号G(w+1),由有效的第w+1行的扫描线信号G(w+1)控制第w行的扫描信号G(w)的关闭,实现逐行扫描。T71的源极与T81的源极共同连接于直流低电平VSS。
综上,在第一个扫描时钟CK(1)为高电位时,应用本实施例所述的GOA驱动电路200能够使第一行的扫描控制信号Q(1)点的电位受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升,从而可以避免第一行的扫描线G(1)因开启信号STV未及时关闭而产生的充电不良。应用本实施例所述的GOA驱动电路200能够改善第一行的扫描线G(1)充电不良的状况,进而提高显示画面的质量。
实施例二
针对现有技术中的GOA驱动电路在GOA驱动单元级联过多时会出现输出信号明显衰减的问题,本实施例对GOA驱动电路的结构进行了改进,如图2所示。图2为本实施例中的GOA驱动电路300的结构示意图,其具有N个扫描时钟信号,其中N为大于0的整数。该GOA驱动电路300包括多个GOA驱动单元310,其中前N/2个GOA驱动单元310的触发单元311均由开启信号STV触发,且第m个GOA驱动单元310的输出信号作为第m+N/2个驱动单元310的触发信号。其中,m为满足0<m≤M的整数,M为GOA驱动单元的个数。上述GOA驱动电路300能够解决因GOA驱动单元级联过多导致的输出信号明显衰减问题。然而,在上述GOA驱动电路300中,由于当前N/2-1个扫描时钟为高电位时,开启信号STV一直处于高电位,使得前N/2-1个GOA驱动单元310中的扫描控制信号Q点(即前N/2-1个触发单元311输出的扫描控制信号)的电位无法受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升,只能保持和开启信号STV相同的电位,从而造成前N/2-1条扫描线(即前N/2-1个输出单元312的输出信号)充电不良,影响显示画面的质量。因此,本发明的GOA驱动电路400基于图2中的GOA驱动电路300的结构进行了进一步完善,从而来改善前N/2-1条扫描线充电不良的状况,提高显示画面的质量。
图3是本发明的实施例中具有N个扫描时钟的GOA驱动电路400的结构示意图。如图3所示,该驱动电路400包括多个GOA驱动单元410。具体地,前N/2-1个GOA驱动单元410的触发信号由触发时钟控制生成,第N/2个GOA驱动单元410的触发信号为开启信号STV,且第m个GOA驱动单元410的输出信号为第m+N/2个GOA驱动单元410的触发信号。下面结合图3详细地说明该驱动电路400的具体结构。
首先,由于前K个GOA驱动单元410的结构相同,因此下面以第k个GOA驱动单元410的结构为例,来对前K个GOA驱动单元410的结构进行说明,其中K为大于0的整数,k为满足0<k≤K的整数,且K=N/2-1。第k个GOA驱动单元410的主要结构包括触发单元411、输出单元412和下拉单元413。
触发单元411主要用于控制输出单元412的开启时间,实现液晶显示面板的逐行扫描。具体地,触发单元411包括第一薄膜晶体管T11和第二薄膜晶体管T21。其中,T11用于将开启信号STV输出为触发信号。T11的栅极连接触发时钟,漏极连接开启信号STV,其源极生成触发信号。并且T11的源极与T21的栅极和漏极相连。T21用于输出第k行的扫描控制信号Q(k)。T21的栅极和漏极连接在一起,用于接收T11的源极生成的触发信号,其源极生成第k行的扫描控制信号Q(k)。T21的源极与输出单元412的控制 端相连。
输出单元412主要用于将第k个扫描时钟信号CK(k)输出为第k行的扫描信号G(k)。具体地,输出单元412由第六薄膜晶体管T61和自举电容C构成。其中,T61的栅极作为输出单元412的控制端接收由触发单元411生成的第k行的扫描控制信号Q(k)。T61的漏极作为输出单元412的输入端接收第k个扫描时钟信号CK(k)。T61的源极作为输出单元412的输出端,连接第k行的扫描线G(k),用于生成并输出第k行的扫描信号G(k)。自举电容C的一端与T61的栅极相连,另一端与T61的源极相连。其中,自举电容C的作用是在Q(k)为高电平时,存储T61栅源端的电压,并且当G(k)输出第k行的扫描信号G(k)后,二次抬升T61栅极的电压(即CK(k)为高电平时,第k行的扫描控制信号Q(k)点的电位受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升),以保证T61能够可靠地被开启并输出第k行的扫描信号G(k)。
在本实施例中,T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟被配置为:在输出单元412的输入端接收到的扫描时钟信号CK(k)为高电位时,控制触发单元411关闭。具体而言,在扫描时钟信号CK(k)由低电位变为高电位之前的一段时间内,触发时钟要控制触发单元411处于开启状态,而在扫描时钟信号CK(k)由低电位变为并保持在高电位期间,触发时钟要控制触发单元411处于关闭状态。
进一步地讲,在扫描时钟信号CK(k)由低电位变为高电位之前的一段时间内,触发时钟要控制T11处于开启状态,而在扫描时钟信号CK(k)由低电位变为并保持在高电位期间,触发时钟要控制T11处于关闭状态。
在本实施例中,T11和T21优选地为N型薄膜晶体管。则,首先在扫描时钟信号CK(k)由低电位变为高电位之前的一段时间内,触发时钟要保持高电平以使T11开启并生成触发信号,进而使T21在其栅极和漏极接收到该触发信号后能够开启并生成第k行的扫描控制信号Q(k)。然后在扫描时钟CK(k)由低电位变为并保持在高电位期间,触发时钟要保持低电平以使T11关闭,从而使Q(k)点的电位在CK(k)为高电位时能够受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升。因此,本实施例能够通过增加由触发时钟控制的第一薄膜晶体管T11来避免第k行的扫描线G(k)因STV未及时关闭而产生的充电不良。
本实施例为了使控制简单方便,优选地将T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟设定为第k+N/2个扫描时钟CK(k+N/2)。当然,也可以单独的设定一个时钟信号作为T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟,只要该时钟信号在输出单元412的扫描时钟CK(k)由低电位变为高电位的前一段时间内,能够控制触发单元411处于开启状态,并且在输出单元412 的扫描时钟CK(k)由低电位变为并维持高电位期间,能够控制触发单元411处于关闭状态即可。因此,在具体实施过程中,本领域技术人员可以根据实际需求来设定T11的栅极所连接的触发时钟。

在t4到t5时间段内:其一,CK(3)和Q(3)为高电平,第三个GOA驱动单元510中的T61被开启并输出第三行的扫描信号G(3)。同时由于CK(7)为低电平,第三个GOA驱动单元510中的T11被关闭,因此第三行的扫描控制信号Q(3)的电位能够受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升,使得第三行的扫描信号G(3)充分充电。并且,当输出第三行的扫描信号G(3)后:一方面,第二个GOA驱动单元510中的T71和T81被开启,进而将G(2)和Q(2)拉低为低电平,关闭第二行像素的扫描线G(2);另一方面,第七个GOA驱动单元510中的T41被开启并输出第七行的扫描控制信号Q(7)。其二,STV为高电平,第四个GOA驱动单元510中的T31仍处于开启状态并输出第四行的扫描控制信号Q(4)。
在t5到t6时间段内:CK(4)和Q(4)为高电平,第四个GOA驱动单元510中的T61被开启并输出第四行的扫描信号G(4)。同时由于STV为低电平,第四个GOA驱动单元510中的T31被关闭,因此第四行的扫描控制信号Q(4)的电位能够受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升,使得第四行的扫描信号G(4)充分充电。并且,当输出第四行的扫描信号G(4)后:一方面,第三个GOA驱动单元510中的T71和T81被开启,进而将G(3)和Q(3)拉低为低电平,关闭第三行像素的扫描线G(3);另一方面,第八个GOA驱动单元510中的T41被开启并输出第八行的扫描控制信号Q(8)。
在t6到t7时间段内:CK(5)和Q(5)为高电平,第五个GOA驱动单元510中的T61被开启并输出第五行的扫描信号G(5)。并且,当输出第五行的扫描信号G(5)后:一方面,第四个GOA驱动单元510中的T71和T81被开启,进而将G(4)和Q(4)拉低为低电平,关闭第四行像素的扫描线G(4);另一方面,第九个GOA驱动单元510中的T41被开启并输出第九行的扫描控制信号Q(9)。
在t7到t8时间段内:CK(6)和Q(6)为高电平,第六个GOA驱动单元510中的T61被开启并输出第六行的扫描信号G(6)。并且,当输出第六行的扫描信号G(6)后:一方面,第五个GOA驱动单元510中的T71和T81被开启,进而将G(5)和Q(5)拉低为低电平,关闭第五行像素的扫描线G(5);另一方面,第十个GOA驱动单元510中的T41被开启并输出第十行的扫描控制信号Q(10)。
接下来各行扫描线的驱动方式与上述t7到t8时间段内的驱动方式类似,为了减少冗余,在此不做赘述。因此,本实施例中的GOA驱动电路500实现了逐行扫描,并且避免了前三行的扫描线因开启信号STV未及时关闭而产生的充电不良。
综上,在前三个扫描时钟为高电平时,应用本实施例所述的GOA驱动电路500能够使前三行的扫描控制信号Q点的电位受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升,从而可以避免前三行的扫描线因开启信号STV未及时关闭而产生的充电不良。应用本实施例所述的GOA驱动电路500能够改善前三行扫描线充电不良的状况,进而提高显示画面的质量。
实施例四
本发明还提供了一种液晶显示面板。本实施例的液晶显示面板包括实施例一所述的GOA驱动电路200。
综上,在第一个扫描时钟CK(1)为高电位时,应用本实施例所述的液晶显示面板能够使第一行的扫描控制信号Q(1)点的电位受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升,从而可以避免第一行的扫描线G(1)因开启信号STV未及时关闭而产生的充电不良。应用本实施例所述的液晶显示面板能够改善第一行的扫描线G(1)充电不良的状况,进而提高显示画面的质量。
实施例五
本发明还提供了一种液晶显示面板。本实施例的液晶显示面板包括实施例二所述的GOA驱动电路400或实施例三所述的GOA驱动电路500。
综上,在前N/2-1个扫描时钟为高电位时,应用本实施例所述的液晶显示面板能够使前N/2-1行的扫描控制信号Q点的电位受自举电容C的耦合效应作用被抬升,从而可以避免前N/2-1行的扫描线因开启信号STV未及时关闭而产生的充电不良。应用本实施例所述的液晶显示面板能够改善前N/2-1行扫描线充电不良的状况,进而提高显示画面的质 量。
以上所述,仅为本发明的具体实施案例,本发明的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术的技术人员在本发明所述的技术规范内,对本发明的修改或替换,都应在本发明的保护范围之内。
