请参与图6,其为如图3-5所示显示面板11中扫描驱动电路103中处于扫描线130相对的左右两端两个相邻扫描线130对应的扫描驱动单元的工作时序图。其中,需要说明是,图6所示的扫描驱动单元SDn仅示出一帧图像显示中驱动二条相邻扫描线SDn、SDn+1上一个像素单元110进行图像显示的时序 图。另外,图中的符号STV_L,Reset,CT4_L、CT3_L、CT2_L、CT1_L、CC2_L、CC1_L、CK3_L、CK1_L表示左侧的一个扫描驱动单元驱动时序;STV_R,CT4_R、CT3_R、CT2_R、CT1_R、CC2_R、CC1_R、CK4_R、CK2_R表示右侧的一个扫描驱动单元驱动时序,前述符号所对应的电路波形图表示其输出信号的波形。当然,对应扫描驱动电路SDn的波形则包括STV_L、Reset,CT2_L、CT1_L、CC1_L、CK3_L、CK1_L。
由于两个扫描驱动单元的驱动方式相同,现以扫描线130左侧的其中一个扫描驱动单元SDn的驱动时序为例进行说明。
如图6所示,在复位时间段Tr,复位端Reset处于使能状态,使得扫描驱动电路103中的扫描驱动单元SDn的所有电路元件均处于初始工作状态。
进一步,在第一时间段t1,也即是启动触发阶段,作为启动触发信号的STV_L处于高电位状态,其中,针对扫描驱动单元SDn的启动触发信号STV_L即为扫描驱动单元SDn-1的扫描驱动信号Gn-2。同时,时钟信号CK1_L亦处于高电位状态。由此,一并参阅图5与图4可知,第一晶体管T1在启动出发信号STV_L的高电位驱动下处于导通状态,高压信号VGH则通过第一晶体管T1的源极传输至漏极,也即是传输至第一输出端103。当第一输出端103处于高电位时,稳压单元300将第一输出端103的高电位传输至输出控制点Q(N),输出控制点Q(N)经由第一电容C1保持高电位状态从而使得第四晶体管T4处于导通状态。相应地,时钟信号CT2、CT1以及CK3均为低电位状态,由此信号调节输出点C(N)输出低电位的调节信号至扫描信号输出端Gn。
同时,第二晶体管T2在第一输出端103高电位控制下处于导通状态,由此,时钟信号CK1_L经由第二晶体管T2的源极传输至第一下拉控制点P(N),以及第十一晶体管T11在高电位的时钟信号CK1_L控制下处于导通状态,亦将高压信号VGH同步传输至第一控制点P(N),第三电容用于维持第一下拉控制点P(N)的高电位状态。第十三晶体管T13在高电位的第一下拉控制点P(N)控制下处于导通状态,则低压信号VGL自第十三晶体管T13的源极传输至扫描信号输出端,保证了扫描信号Scn的稳定性。
另外,在高电位的STV_L的控制下,第十五晶体管T15处于导通状态,低电压VGL自第十五晶体管T15的源极传输至第一控制点H(N),从而使得第一控制点H(N)处于低电位。
对应下拉单元700中,在高电位的STV_L的控制下,第十七晶体管T17处于导通状态,高压信号VGH自第十七晶体管的源极传输至与漏极电性连接的第二下拉控制点T(N),第四电容C4维持第二下拉控制点T(N)的高电位状态。
在t2时间段,时钟信号CK1_L跳变为低电位,时钟信号STV_L保持高电位,从而使得输出控制点Q(N)保持高电位,导通的第二晶体管T2将低电位的时钟信号CK1_L传输至第一下拉控制点P(N),从而使得第一下拉控制点P(N)维持低电位。高压信号VGH通过导通的第十七晶体管T17使得下拉点T(N)维持高电位,进而使得扫描信号输出端Gn维持稳定的低电位状态,而不会出现悬空状态。
在第三时间段t3,启动触发信号STV_L触发完成,由高电位跳变为低电位,同时,时钟信号CK3_L处于触发状态,也即是高电位状态。第一晶体管T1处于截止状态,输出控制端Q(N)维持高电位状态。同时,第七晶体管T7处于导通状态并呈现内阻较小的电阻特性,从而将使得信号调节点C(N)输出高电位信号,并且通过第四晶体管T4传输至扫描信号输出端Gn,从而使得扫描线信号输出端Gn在第三时间段t3输出第一子扫描信号Sc1,所述第一子扫描线信号Sc1则用于驱动第一子像素Px1,也即是控制薄膜晶体管Ta处于导通状态,使得待显示数据电压Dm传输至第一子像素111。
由此,第三输出端103在输出控制端Q(N)控制处于高电位状态,低电位的时钟信号CK1_L自第二晶体管T2的源极传输至第一下拉控制点P(N)。与此同时,信号调节点C(N)输出高电位信号使得二极管连接的第十晶体管T10处于导通状态,从而使得第一控制点H(N)处于高电位状态。
对应下拉单元700,第十七晶体管T17在启动触发信号STV_L处于截止状态,第十六晶体管T16在时钟信号CK3_L控制处于导通状态,,低电压信号自第十六晶体管T16的源极传输至与其漏极电性连接的第二下拉控制点T(N),使得第二下拉控制点T(N)处于低电位,使得第十四晶体管14处于截止状态。
在第四时间段t4,时钟信号CK3_L跳变为低电位,时钟信号CC1_L处于使能状态,也即是时钟信号CC1_L跳变为高电位。扫描信号调节单元600中的第八晶体管T8处于导通状态,低电位VGL自第八晶体管T8的源极传输至与其漏极电性连接的调节信号输出端C(N)。由于输出控制点Q(N)一直维持在 高电位,也即是第四晶体管T4仍然处于导通状态,调节信号输出端C(N)的低电位则通过第四晶体管T4传输至扫描信号输出端Gn,从而使得扫描信号在此时间段输出低电位的缓冲扫描信号Sct,从而控制第一子像素Px1停止接收数据电压。其中,所述第四时间段t4作为前述的预定时间段。
在第五时间段t5,时钟信号CC1_L停止使能状态跳变为低电位,时钟信号CT1_L处于使能状态,也即是时钟信号CT1_L跳变为高电位。扫描信号调节单元600中的第六晶体管T6处于导通状态,因此,高电位的时钟信号CT1_L通过第六晶体管T6传输至调节信号输出端C(N),进而使得扫描线信号输出端Gn在第五时间段t5输出第二子扫描信号Sc2,所述第二子扫描线信号Sc2则用于驱动第二子像素Px2,也即是控制薄膜晶体管Tb处于导通状态,使得待显示数据电压Dm+1传输至第一子像素111。
较佳地,在第六时间段T6,时钟信号CT1_L停止使能状态跳变为低电位,时钟信号CT2_L处于使能状态,也即是时钟信号CT2_L跳变为高电位。扫描信号调节单元600中的第五晶体管T5处于导通状态,因此,高电位的时钟信号CT1_L通过第五晶体管T5再次传输至调节信号输出端C(N),进而使得扫描线信号输出端Gn在第六时间段t6仍然输出第二子扫描信号Sc2,使得第一子像素111接收显示数据电压Dm+1延长。
当然,第五时间段t5与第六时间段t6连续输出两个第二子扫描信号Sc2也以为作为一个持续时间是第一子扫描线信号Sc1两倍的另外一个子扫描信号。
最后,在第七时间段t7,时钟信号CK1再次处于使能状态,也即是跳变为高电位,第一下拉控制点P(N)通过处于导通状态的第二晶体管T2跳变为高电位,从而将低电压VGL通过导通的第十三晶体管T13传输至扫描信号输出端Gn,从而完成对一个像素单元110的一帧图像的驱动。其中,需要说明的,时间段t1-t7依次连续并无时间间隔,且在时间段t1-t7构成一个扫描周期内的完整扫描信号。
相较于现有技术,扫描驱动电路103通过至少两个二极管方式连接的晶体管调节扫描信号的波形,使其能够灵活、稳定地针对一个像素单元中的两个子像素进行扫描,使其间隔所述预定时间段的两个不同时间段内接收待显示的图像数据电压从而进行图像显示。
请参阅图7,其为本发明一变更实施例扫描驱动单元SDi的电路结构示意图,扫描驱动单元SDi的电路结构与扫描驱动单元SDn的电路结构基本相同,区别仅在于第一-第十七晶体管T1-T17均为P沟道金属氧化物半导体(P-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor,PMOS)。
可以理解,以上所揭露的仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已,当然不能以此来限定本发明之权利范围,本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述实施例的全部或部分流程,并依本发明权利要求所作的等同变化,仍属于发明所涵盖的范围。
