针对驱动晶体管的阈值电压漂移的情况,一种AMOLED(Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode,有源矩阵有机发光二极管)像素电路可以采用两个子像素电路,来降低驱动管的阈值电压漂移,每个子像素电路包括两个薄膜晶体管(驱动晶体管和数据写入晶体管)和一个电容。在相邻帧,两个子像素电路中的驱动晶体管轮流开启,从而,降低每个驱动晶体管的偏压时间,降低驱动晶体管的阈值电压漂移。但是,现有栅极驱动电路无法实现该像素电路所需驱动时序。
下面先简单介绍AMOLED像素电路。
如图1所示,AMOLED像素电路可以采用两个子像素电路来降低驱动管的阈值电压漂移,两个子像素电路分别为第一子像素电路和第二子像素电路,第一子像素电路包括第一驱动晶体管T2、第一数据写入晶体管T1和第一存储电容C1,第二子像素电路包括第二驱动晶体管T2'、第二数据写入晶体管T1'和第二存储电容C1'。在多帧时间内,第一子像素电路和第二子像素电路交替工作,即在一帧时间内,第一子像素电路工作,即图1中的第一驱动晶体管T2、第一数据写入晶体管T1和第一存储电容C1工作,这时第二子像素电路则不工作,即图1中的第二驱动晶体管T2'、第二数据写入晶体管T1'和第二存储电容C1'不工作。在另外一帧时间内,第二子像素电路工作,即图1中的第二驱动晶体管T2'、第二数据写入晶体管T1'和第二存储电容C1'工作,第一子像素电路不工作,即图1中的第一驱动晶体管T2、第一数据写入晶体管T1和第一存储电容C1不工作。
图1中像素电路的驱动时序可如图2所示,在第N帧的T1时间段,第一扫描信号Vscan_a和第一数据信号Vdata_a为高电平,由此,第一数据写入晶体管T1开启,第一数据信号Vdata_a被写入第一驱动晶体管T2的栅极;此时第二扫描信号Vscan_b和第二数据信号Vdata_b为低电平,由此,第二数据写入晶体管T1'关闭;因此在第N帧的后续时间段,第一驱动晶体管T2开启,第二驱动晶体管T2'关断并处于阈值电压恢复期。在第N+1帧的T1'时间段,第二扫描信号Vscan_b和第二数据信号Vdata_b为高电平,由此,第二数据写入晶体管T1'开启,第二数据信号Vdata_b被写入第二驱动晶体管T2'的栅极;此时第一扫描信号Vscan_a和第一数据信号Vdata_a为低电平,由此,第一数据写入晶体管T1关闭;因此在第N+1帧时间的后续时间段,第二驱动晶体管T2'开启,第一驱动晶体管T2关断并且处于阈值电压恢复期。如此,在相邻帧,第一驱动管T2和第二驱动晶体管T2'轮流开启,将大大降低驱动晶体管的偏压时间,从而极大的降低了驱动晶体管的阈值电压漂移。
栅极驱动电路GOA(Gate Driver On Array)除了能够省略栅极驱动集成电路(IC)以及对应的绑定(Bonding)工序外,还可实现显示面板的窄边框设计,因此GOA在显示面板的设计和生产中得到越来越广泛的应用。
基于此,本公开提出了一种移位寄存器及其控制方法、栅极驱动电路和显示装置,使得在不同帧时,不同的驱动晶体管交替开启,降低驱动晶体管的阈 值电压漂移,且能够实现优化驱动时序的要求,整体上使用的晶体管的数目较少,使得该移位寄存器实现起来更加简单,同时能够降低成本。
例如,在本公开中,第一晶体管至第十八晶体管等可以为场效应晶体管。按照场效应晶体管的特性,场效应晶体管可以分为N型晶体管和P型晶体管,为了清楚起见,本公开的实施例以场效应晶体管为N型晶体管(例如,N型MOS晶体管(NMOS))为例详细阐述了本公开的技术方案,然而本公开的实施例的场效应晶体管不限于N型晶体管,本领域技术人员还可以根据实际需要利用P型晶体管(例如,P型MOS晶体管(PMOS))实现本公开的实施例中的一个或多个场效应晶体管的功能。
需要说明的是,本公开的实施例中采用的场效应晶体管可以为薄膜晶体管等场效应晶体管或其他特性相同的开关器件,薄膜晶体管可以包括氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管、非晶硅薄膜晶体管或多晶硅薄膜晶体管等。场效应晶体管的源极、漏极在结构上可以是对称的,所以其源极、漏极在物理结构上可以是没有区别的。在本公开的实施例中,为了区分场效应晶体管,除作为控制极的栅极,直接描述了其中一极为第一极,另一极为第二极,所以本公开的实施例中全部或部分场效应晶体管的第一极和第二极根据需要是可以互换的。
下面参考附图描述本公开实施例的显示装置、栅极驱动电路、移位寄存器及其控制方法。
图3A是根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种移位寄存器的方框示意图,图3B是根据本公开一些实施例提供的另一种移位寄存器的方框示意图。如图3A所示,移位寄存器100包括第一移位寄存单元101和第二移位寄存单元102。第一移位寄存器单元101与第一节点pu、第一信号输入端input_a、第一时钟信号端clk和第一信号输出端output_a电连接,第二移位寄存单元102与第一节点pu、第二信号输入端input_b、第二时钟信号端clkb和第二信号输出端output_b电连接。
例如,第一移位寄存器单元101被配置为在第一信号输入端input_a提供的第一输入信号的控制下将第一控制信号写入第一节点pu,并在第一节点pu的电压的控制下将第一时钟信号端clk提供的第一时钟信号写入第一信号输出端output_a。第二移位寄存单元102被配置为在第二信号输入端input_b提供的第二输入信号的控制下将第二控制信号写入第一节点pu,并在第一节点pu的电压的控制下将第二时钟信号端clkb提供的第二时钟信号写入第二信号输出 端output_b。
例如,任意两个相邻帧包括第一帧和第二帧,在第一帧时间内,第一时钟信号和第一输入信号为脉冲信号,第二时钟信号和第二输入信号为直流信号;在第二帧时间内,第一时钟信号和第一输入信号为直流信号,第二时钟信号和第二输入信号为脉冲信号。也就是说,在多帧时间中,第一时钟信号端clk交替输出脉冲信号和直流信号,第一信号输入端input_a交替输出脉冲信号和直流信号,相应地,第二时钟信号端clkb也交替输出直流信号和脉冲信号,第二信号输入端input_b也交替输出直流信号和脉冲信号。例如,在第2m帧(偶数帧)中,第一时钟信号端clk输出脉冲信号,第一信号输入端input_a输出脉冲信号,第二时钟信号端clkb输出直流信号,第二信号输入端input_b输出直流信号;在第(2m-1)帧(奇数帧)中,第一时钟信号端clk输出直流信号,第一信号输入端input_a输出直流信号,第二时钟信号端clkb输出脉冲信号,第二信号输入端input_b输出信号,其中,m为正整数。
例如,直流信号可以为低电平直流信号。
例如,如图3B所示,在一些实施例中,第一移位寄存单元101包括第一输入电路11、第一输出电路12和第一控制电路13,第一输入电路11分别与第一信号输入端input_a和第一节点pu相连,第一输入电路11用于在第一信号输入端input_a提供的第一输入信号的控制下将第一控制信号写入第一节点pu;第一输出电路12分别与第一节点pu、第一时钟信号端clk和第一信号输出端output_a相连,第一输出电路12用于在第一节点pu的电压的控制下将第一时钟信号端clk提供的第一时钟信号写入第一信号输出端output_a;第一控制电路13分别与第一电源端vdd1、第一节点pu、第一复位信号端rst_a、第三电源端vss和第一信号输出端output_a相连,第一控制电路13用于在第一电源端vdd1提供的第一控制电压和第一复位信号端rst_a提供的第一复位电压的控制下对第一信号输出端output_a和第一节点pu的电压进行控制。
例如,第二移位寄存单元102包括第二输入电路21、第二输出电路22和第二控制电路23。第二输入电路21分别与第二信号输入端input_b和第一节点pu相连,第二输入电路21用于在第二信号输入端input_b提供的第二输入信号的控制下将第二控制信号写入第一节点pu;第二输出电路22分别与第一节点pu、第二时钟信号端clkb和第二信号输出端output_b相连,第二输出电路22用于在第一节点pu的电压的控制下将第二时钟信号端clkb提供的第二时钟信 号写入第二信号输出端output_b;第二控制电路23分别与第二电源端vdd2、第一节点pu、第二复位信号端rst_b、第三电源端vss和第二信号输出端output_b相连,第二控制电路23用于在第二电源端vdd2提供的第二控制电压和第二复位信号端rst_b提供的第二复位电压的控制下对第二信号输出端output_b和第一节点pu的电压进行控制。
例如,在第一帧时间内,第一控制信号为脉冲信号,第二控制信号为直流信号;在第二帧时间内,第一控制信号为直流信号,第二控制信号则为脉冲信号。当第一控制信号为脉冲信号时,第一控制信号的相位、周期等与第一输入信号相同,从而例如第一控制信号可以为第一输入信号。当第二控制信号为脉冲信号时,第二控制信号的相位、周期等与第二输入信号相同,从而第二控制信号可以为第二输入信号。需要说明的是,本公开不限于此,在第一帧时间内,第一控制信号可以为高电平直流信号,第二控制信号可以为低电平直流信号;在第一帧时间内,第一控制信号可以为低电平直流信号,第二控制信号可以为高电平直流信号。在本公开的实施例中,对于第一控制信号,只要在第一输入信号控制第一输入电路11开启时,可以将第一控制信号写入第一节点pu以对第一节点pu进行充电即可,即在第一输入信号控制第一输入电路11开启时,可以通过第一控制信号上拉第一节点pu。另外,对于第二控制信号,只要在第二输入信号控制第二输入电路21开启时,可以将第二控制信号写入第一节点pu以对第一节点pu进行充电即可,即在第二输入信号控制第二输入电路21开启时,可以通过第二控制信号上拉第一节点pu。
例如,在第一帧时间内,第一电源端vdd1输出第一控制电压,在第二帧时间内,第二电源端vdd2输出第二控制电压。在第一帧时间内,第二电源端vdd2输出低电平的电压信号;在第二帧时间内,第一电源端vdd1输出低电平的电压信号。
需要说明的是,第一控制电压和第二控制电压可均为高电平,脉冲信号可为存在高低电平的方波信号,例如,脉冲信号可以是在时刻t1由低电平变为高电平且在t时间后的时刻t2(即时刻t1和时刻t2的间隔t时间)再由高电平变为低电平的信号。
还需说明的是,本文中的“高电平”和“低电平”分别指的是某一位置处由电位高度范围代表的两种逻辑状态。举例来说,高电平可以具体可指代高于公共端电压的电位,低电平可以具体指代低于公共端电压的电位,同时,不同 位置的“高电平”电位可不相同,且不同位置的“低电平”电位也可不相同。可以理解的是,具体的电位高度范围可以在具体应用场景下根据需要进行设置,本公开对此不做限制。
例如,在第一电源端vdd和第二电源端vdd2电平设置上,可以在一帧时间内,第一电源端vdd1输出的第一控制电压的电平设置为高电平,同时第二电源端vdd2输出的第二控制电压的电平设置为低电平,此时将对第一节点pu和第一信号输出端output_a进行放电,在相邻的下一帧时间内,将第一电源端vdd1输出的第一控制电压的电平设置为低电平,同时第二电源端vdd2输出的第二控制电压的电平设置为高电平,此时,将对第一节点pu和第二信号输出端output_b进行放电。
图3C是根据本公开一些实施例提供的又一种移位寄存器的方框示意图。
例如,如图3C所示,在另一些实施例中,第一移位寄存器单元101还包括第一输入电路11、第一输出电路12和第一控制电路31,第一输入电路11分别与第一信号输入端input_a和第一节点pu相连,第一输入电路11用于在第一信号输入端input_a提供的第一输入信号的控制下将第一控制信号写入第一节点pu;第一输出电路12分别与第一节点pu、第一时钟信号端clk和第一信号输出端output_a相连,第一输出电路12用于在第一节点pu的电压的控制下将第一时钟信号端clk提供的第一时钟信号写入第一信号输出端output_a;第一控制电路31分别与第一电源端vdd1、第一节点pu、第一复位信号端rst_a、第三电源端vss和第一信号输出端output_a相连,第一控制电路31用于在第一电源端vdd1提供的第一控制电压和第一复位信号端rst_a提供的第一复位电压的控制下对第一信号输出端output_a和第一节点pu的电压进行控制。
例如,第二移位寄存单元102包括第二输入电路21、第二输出电路22和第二控制电路32。第二输入电路21分别与第二信号输入端input_b和第一节点pu相连,第二输入电路21用于在第二信号输入端input_b提供的第二输入信号的控制下将第二控制信号写入第一节点pu;第二输出电路22分别与第一节点pu、第二时钟信号端clkb和第二信号输出端output_b相连,第二输出电路22用于在第一节点pu的电压的控制下将第二时钟信号端clkb提供的第二时钟信号写入第二信号输出端output_b;第二控制电路32分别与第一电源端vdd1、第一节点pu、第二复位信号端rst_b、第三电源端vss和第二信号输出端output_b相连,第二控制电路32用于在第一电源端vdd1提供的第一控制电压和第二复 位信号端rst_b提供的第二复位电压的控制下对第二信号输出端output_b和第一节点pu的电压进行控制。
例如,在第一帧时间和第二帧时间内,第一电源端vdd1均输出第一控制电压,第一控制电压可为高电平。
另外,在第一时钟信号端clk和第二时钟信号端clkb的电平设置上,可以在一帧时间内,将第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号设置为有高低脉冲的方波信号,同时将第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号设置为低电平直流信号,在相邻的下一帧时间内,将第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号设置为有高低脉冲的方波信号,同时将第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号设置为低电平直流信号。
由此,在驱动像素时,第一信号输出端output_a的信号和第二信号输出端output_b的信号可分别对应提供至图1中的第一扫描信号Vscan_a和第二扫描信号Vscan_b,即第一信号输出端output_a的信号对应图1中的第一扫描信号Vscan_a,第二信号输出端output_b的信号对应图1中的第二扫描信号Vscan_b。在一帧时间(例如,第一帧时间)内,第一输出电路12将第一时钟信号端clk的电压写入第一信号输出端output_a,在第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号为高电平时,第一信号输出端output_a输出的信号为高电平,从而可以驱动例如图1中第一子像素电路(即第一数据写入晶体管T1、第一驱动晶体管T2和第一电容C1)工作,而第二输出电路22将第二时钟信号端clkb的电压写入第二信号输出端output_b,由于第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号为低电平,由此第二信号输出端output_b始终输出低电平的信号,从而无法进行像素驱动,例如不能驱动图1中第二子像素电路(即第二数据写入晶体管T1'、第二驱动晶体管T2'和第二电容C1')进行工作,即第二子像素电路不工作,综上,可实现图2中第N帧的驱动时序以驱动图1所示的像素电路。
在相邻的下一帧时间(例如,第二帧时间)内,第二输出电路22将第二时钟信号端clkb的电压写入第二信号输出端output_b,在第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号为高电平时,第二信号输出端output_b输出的信号为高电平,从而可以驱动例如图1中第二子像素电路(即第二数据写入晶体管T1'、第二驱动晶体管T2'和第二电容C1')工作,而第一输出电路12将第一时钟信号端clk的电压写入第一信号输出端output_a,由于第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号为低电平,由此第一信号输出端output_a始终输出低电平的信号, 从而无法进行像素驱动,例如不能驱动图1中第一子像素电路(即第一数据写入晶体管T1、第一驱动晶体管T2和第一电容C1)进行工作,即第一子像素电路不工作,综上,可实现图2中第(N+1)帧的驱动时序以驱动图1所示的像素电路。
由此,第一移位寄存单元101与第二移位寄存单元102能够交替进行像素驱动,实现采用两套驱动设计的像素电路所需的驱动时序,并且易于实现。
图4A是根据本公开另一些实施例提供的一种移位寄存器的方框示意图,图4A所示的移位寄存器为图3B所示的移位寄存器的一个示例。
例如,如图4A所示,在一些实施例中,第一控制电路13包括第一复位电路14、第一下拉控制电路15和第一下拉电路16。
例如,第一复位电路14用于在第一复位信号端rst_a的控制下,对第一节点pu进行复位。如图4A所示,第一复位电路14分别与第一复位信号端rst_a、第三电源端vss和第一节点pu相连,第一复位电路14用于在第一复位信号端rst_a提供的第一复位电压的控制下将第三电源端vss的电压写入第一节点pu。
第一下拉控制电路15分别与第一节点pu和第二节点pd1相连,且被配置为在第一节点pu的电压的控制下,对第二节点pd1的电平进行控制。如图4A所示,第一下拉控制电路15还分别与第一电源端vdd1和第三电源端vss相连,第一下拉控制电路15用于在第一电源端vdd1提供的第一控制电压的控制下将第一控制电压写入第二节点pd1,并在第一节点pu的电压的控制下将第三电源端vss的电压写入第二节点pd1。

例如,任意两个相邻帧中的第一帧时间包括第一输入阶段、第一输出阶段和第一放电阶段,任意两个相邻帧中的第二帧时间包括第二输入阶段、第二输出阶段和第二放电阶段。
下面以图4A所示的移位寄存器为例详细说明移位寄存器的具体电路结构和工作过程。
例如,在一些实施例中,移位寄存器100的工作过程如下:
在任意两个相邻帧中的第一帧时间内,在第一输入阶段,第一信号输入端input_a输出第一输入信号,第一输入电路11在第一输入信号的控制下,向第一节点pu写入第一输入信号。
在第一输出阶段,第一时钟信号端clk输出第一时钟信号,且此时第一时钟信号具有第一电平,第一输出电路12在第一节点pu的电压的控制下,向第一信号输出端output_a输出第一时钟信号。需要说明的是,此时,第一节点pu的电压信号大于第一输入信号。
在第一放电阶段,第一复位信号端rst_a输出第一复位电压,第一电源端vdd1输出第一控制电压,第一控制电路13的第一复位电路14在第一复位电压的控制下向第一节点pu输出来自第三电源端vss的电压,第一控制电路13的第一下拉控制电路15在第一控制电压的控制下,向第二节点pd1输出第一控制电压,第一控制电路13的第一下拉电路16在第二节点pd1的控制下,分别向第一节点pu和第一信号输出端output_a输出来自第三电源端vss的电压。
在任意两个相邻帧的第二帧时间内,在第二输入阶段,第二信号输入端input_b输出第二输入信号,第二输入电路21在第二输入信号的控制下,向第一节点pu写入第二输入信号。
在第二输出阶段,第二时钟信号端clkb输出第二时钟信号,且此时第二时钟信号具有第一电平,第二输出电路22在第一节点pu的电压的控制下,向第二信号输出端input_b输出第二时钟信号。需要说明的是,此时,第一节点pu的电压信号大于第二输入信号。
在第二放电阶段,第二复位信号端rst_b输出第二复位电压,第二电源端vdd2输出第二控制电压,第二控制电路23的第二复位电路24在第二复位电压的控制下向第一节点pu输出来自第三电源端vss的电压,第二控制电路23的第二下拉控制电路25在第二控制电压的控制下,向第三节点pd2输出第二控制电压,第二控制电路23的第二下拉电路26在第三节点pd2的控制下,分别向第一节点pu和第二信号输出端output_b输出来自第三电源端vss的电压。
另外,第一帧时间包括第一中间阶段,第一中间阶段在第一输出阶段与第一放电阶段之间。在第一中间阶段,第一时钟信号端clk输出第一时钟信号, 且此时第一时钟信号具有第二电平,第一节点pu保持第一输入信号,第一输出电路12在第一节点pu的控制下,向第一信号输出端input_a输出具有第二电平的第一时钟信号。第二帧时间包括第二中间阶段,第二中间阶段在第二输出阶段与第二放电阶段之间。在第二中间阶段,第二时钟信号端clkb输出第二时钟信号,且此时第二时钟信号具有第二电平,第一节点pu保持第二输入信号,第二输出电路22在第一节点pu的控制下,向第二信号输出端input_b输出具有第二电平的第二时钟信号。
在本公开的一些具体示例中,第一电平、第一输入信号的电平、第二输入信号的电平、第一复位电压的电平、第二复位电压的电平、第一控制电压的电平和第二控制电压的电平均可为高电平,第三电源端vss的电压的电平和第二电平可为低电平。
例如,假设在一帧时间(例如,第N帧时间)内,第一控制电压的电平为高电平,第二控制电压的电平为低电平,第一时钟信号为脉冲信号,第二时钟信号为低电平直流信号,由此,在第N帧时间内,移位寄存器100的工作过程可以包括:
在第一输入阶段,第一信号输入端input_a输出的第一输入信号具有高电平,第一输入电路11开启,第一输入信号被写入第一节点pu,第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22在第一节点pu的控制下导通,因此,第一信号输出端output_a输出第一时钟信号,第二信号输出端output_b输出第二时钟信号,因第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号和第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号均具有低电平,也就是说,第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b输出具有低电平的信号。此时,第二信号输入端input_b输出的第二输入信号具有低电平,因此第二输入电路21关断。因第一节点pu的电平为高电平,在第一节点pu的控制下,第一下拉控制电路15将第三电源端vss的电压写入第二节点pd1,第二下拉控制电路25将第三电源端vss的电压写入第三节点pd2。第一复位信号端rst_a输出的第一复位电压和第二复位信号端rst_b输出的第二复位电压均为例如低电平电压,因此,第一复位电路14和第二复位电路24关断。由此,在第一输入阶段,第一节点pu充电至高电平(例如,第一输入信号),第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b输出具有低电平的信号。
在第一输出阶段,第一信号输入端input_a输出的第一输入信号和第二信 号输入端input_b输出的第二输入信号例如均具有低电平,此时第一输入电路11和第二输入电路21关断,但是由于第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22的电容保持作用,第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22继续开启,第一输出电路12输出第一时钟信号至第一信号输出端output_a,即第一信号输出端output_a输出第一时钟信号,因第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号具有高电平,因此,第一信号输出端output_a输出具有高电平的信号。同时,由于第二输出电路22开启,第二输出电路22输出第二时钟信号至第二信号输出端output_b,即第二信号输出端output_b输出第二时钟信号,第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号具有低电平,因此第二信号输出端output_b输出具有低电平的信号。由于第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22的电容自举作用,第一节点pu的电压进一步升高,即此时第一节点pu处的电压信号大于第一输入信号,由此在第一节点pu控制下,第一下拉控制电路15将第三电源端vss的电压写入第二节点pd1,第二下拉控制电路25将第三电源端vss的电压写入第三节点pd2。并且,第一复位信号端rst_a输出的第一复位电压和第二复位信号端rst_b输出的第二复位电压均为低电平电压,因此,第一复位电路14和第二复位电路24关断。
在第一中间阶段,第一信号输入端input_a输出的第一输入信号和第二信号输入端input_b输出的第二输入信号均具有例如低电平,此时第一输入电路11和第二输入电路21关断,但是由于第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22的电容保持作用,第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22继续开启,因第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号和第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号均具有低电平,由于第一信号输出端output_a输出第一时钟信号,第二信号输出端output_b输出第二时钟信号,也就是说,第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b均输出具有低电平的信号。由于第一节点pu点仍为高电平(例如,第一输入信号),因此第二节点pd1和第三节点pd2仍保持为第三电源端vss的电压。第一复位信号端rst_a输出的第一复位电压和第二复位信号端rst_b输出的第二复位电压均为低电平电压,因此,第一复位电路14和第二复位电路24关断。
在第一放电阶段,第一复位信号端rst_a输出的第一复位电压具有高电平,第一复位电路14开启,第一节点pu被放电至低电平,即第一节点pu的电压被下拉至第三电源端vss的电压,因此第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22关 断,由于第一控制电压具有高电平,第一下拉控制电路15将第一控制电压写入第二节点pd1,也就是说,第二节点pd1被写入高电平电压,第一下拉电路16导通,使得第一节点pu、第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b放电至低电平,即第一节点pu、第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b被下拉至第三电源端vss的电压。因第二控制电压具有低电平,因此第三节点pd2的电位仍为低电平,第二下拉电路26关断。第二复位信号端rst_b输出的第二复位电压为低电平电压,第二复位电路24关断。
又例如,在相邻的下一帧时间(例如,第N+1帧时间)内,第一控制电压的电平为低电平,第二控制电压的电平为高电平,第一时钟信号为低电平直流信号,第二时钟信号为脉冲信号,由此,在第N+1帧时间内,移位寄存器100的工作过程可以包括:
在第二输入阶段,第二信号输入端input_b输出的第二输入信号具有高电平,第二输入电路21开启,第二输入信号被写入第一节点pu,第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22在第一节点pu的控制下导通,因此,第一信号输出端output_a输出第一时钟信号,第二信号输出端output_b输出第二时钟信号,因第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号和第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号均具有低电平,也就是说,第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b输出具有低电平的信号。此时,第一信号输入端input_a输出的第一输入信号具有低电平,因此第一输入电路11关断。因第一节点pu的电平为高电平,在第一节点pu的控制下,第一下拉控制电路15将第三电源端vss的电压写入第二节点pd1,第二下拉控制电路25将第三电源端vss的电压写入第三节点pd2。第一复位信号端rst_a输出的第一复位电压和第二复位信号端rst_b输出的第二复位电压均为例如低电平电压,因此,第一复位电路14和第二复位电路24关断。由此,在第二输入阶段,第一节点pu充电至高电平(例如,第二输入信号),第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b输出具有低电平的信号。
在第二输出阶段,第一信号输入端input_a输出的第一输入信号和第二信号输入端input_b输出的第二输入信号例如均具有低电平,此时第一输入电路11和第二输入电路21关断,但是由于第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22的电容保持作用,第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22继续开启,第二输出电路22输出第二时钟信号至第二信号输出端output_b,即第二信号输出端output_b 输出第二时钟信号,因第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号具有高电平,因此,第二信号输出端output_b输出具有高电平的信号。同时,由于第一输出电路12开启,第一输出电路12输出第一时钟信号至第一信号输出端output_a,即第一信号输出端output_a输出第一时钟信号,且第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号具有低电平,因此第一信号输出端output_a输出具有低电平的信号。由于第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22的电容自举作用,第一节点pu的电压进一步升高,即此时第一节点pu处的电压信号大于第一输入信号,由此在第一节点pu控制下,第一下拉控制电路15将第三电源端vss的电压写入第二节点pd1,第二下拉控制电路25将第三电源端vss的电压写入第三节点pd2。第一复位信号端rst_a输出的第一复位电压和第二复位信号端rst_b输出的第二复位电压均为低电平电压,因此,第一复位电路14和第二复位电路24关断。
在第二中间阶段,第一信号输入端input_a输出的第一输入信号和第二信号输入端input_b输出的第二输入信号均具有低电平,此时第一输入电路11和第二输入电路21关断,但是由于第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22的电容保持作用,第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22继续开启,因第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号和第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号均具有低电平,由于第一信号输出端output_a输出第一时钟信号,第二信号输出端output_b输出第二时钟信号,也就是说,第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b均输出具有低电平的信号。由于第一节点pu点仍为高电平(例如,第二输入信号),因此第二节点pd1和第三节点pd2仍保持为第三电源端vss的电压。第一复位信号端rst_a输出的第一复位电压和第二复位信号端rst_b输出的第二复位电压均为低电平电压,因此,第一复位电路14和第二复位电路24关断。
在第二放电阶段,第二复位信号端rst_b输出的第一复位电压具有高电平,第二复位电路24开启,第一节点pu被放电至低电平,即第一节点pu的电压被下拉至第三电源端vss的电压,因此第一输出电路12和第二输出电路22关断,由于第二控制电压具有高电平,第二下拉控制电路25将第二控制电压写入第三节点pd2,也就是说,第三节点pd2被写入高电平电压,第二下拉电路26导通,使得第一节点pu、第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b放电至低电平,即第一节点pu、第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端 output_b被下拉至第三电源端vss的电压。因第一控制电压具有低电平,因此第二节点pd1仍为低电平,第一下拉电路16关断。第一复位信号端rst_a输出的第一复位电压为低电平电压,第一复位电路14关断。
因此,在第一控制电压、第二控制电压在不同帧交替为高电平电压,同时配合第一时钟信号和第二时钟信号在不同帧交替为脉冲信号时,能够使得第一移位寄存单元101与第二移位寄存单元102在不同帧交替进行像素驱动,进而实现图2中的像素驱动时序。

假设在一帧时间内,第一控制电压为高电平电压,第二控制电压为低电平电压,第一时钟信号为脉冲信号,第二时钟信号为低电平直流信号,下面结合图6的时序图详细描述图5A所示的移位寄存器的工作过程。在图6中以及下面的描述中,vdd1、vdd2、input_a、input_b、clk、clkb、rst_a、rst_b等既用于表示相应的信号端,也用于表示相应的信号。以下各实施例与此相同,不再赘述。
由于第一控制电压vdd1为高电平电压,因此第七晶体管M7在一帧时间内始终开启,而第二控制电压vdd2为低电平电压,因此第九晶体管M9在一帧时间内始终关闭。
例如,如图5A和图6所示,t1时间段对应第一输入阶段,在t1时间段,第一输入信号input_a具有高电平,第二输入信号input_b、第一时钟信号clk、第二时钟信号clkb、第一复位电压rst_a、第二复位电压rst_b均具有低电平,因第一输入信号input_a具有高电平,因此第一晶体管M1开启,第一输入信号input_a被写入第一节点pu、第一电容C11和第二电容C22,因此,第三晶 体管M3和第四晶体管M4开启,从而第一信号输出端output_a输出第一时钟信号clk,第二信号输出端output_b输出第二时钟信号clkb,由于第一时钟信号clk、第二时钟信号clkb均为低电平信号,因此第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b输出低电平信号。因第二输入信号input_b具有低电平,因此第二晶体管M2关断。另外,因为第一节点pu为高电平,因此第八晶体管M8和第十晶体管M10开启,第二节点pd1被拉至低电平电压(即第三电源端vss的电压),第三节点pd2被拉至低电平电压(即第三电源端vss的电压)。由于第二节点pd1和第三节点pd2被拉至第三电源端vss的电压,因此,第十一晶体管M11至第十八晶体管M18均关断。另外,由于第一复位电压rst_a、第二复位电压rst_b均为低电平电压,因此第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6关断。由此,在第一输入阶段,可实现将第一节点pu充电至第一输入信号,第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4开启,且第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b输出具有低电平的信号。
可以理解的是,在t1时间段,第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8均开启,由于第七晶体管M7对第二节点pd1进行充电,第八晶体管M8对第二节点pd1进行放电,为了使第二节点pd1能被拉至低电平电压,可通过适当设置第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8的沟道宽度比值实现。例如,可适当设置第七晶体管M7和第八晶体管M8的沟道宽度比值,使得W(M8)>>W(M7)(例如W(M7):W(M8)=1:5),即第八晶体管M8的沟道宽度W(M8)远大于第七晶体管M7的沟道宽度W(M7),这样第八晶体管M8开启时对第二节点pd1的放电速度远大于第七晶体管M7开启时对第二节点pd1的充电速度,故无论第七晶体管M7是否开启,只要第八晶体管M8开启,第二节点pd1即可被拉至低电平电压。同理,可以对第九晶体管M9和第十晶体管M10的沟道宽度比值做类似设置,使得W(M10)>>W(M9)(例如W(M9):W(M10)=1:5),即第十晶体管M10的沟道宽度W(M10)远大于第九晶体管M9的沟道宽度W(M9),使得第十晶体管M10开启时对第三节点pd2的放电速度远大于第九晶体管M9开启时对第三节点pd2点的充电速度,故无论第九晶体管M9是否开启,只要第十晶体管M10开启,第三节点pd2即被拉至低电平电压。
例如,如图5A和图6所示,t2时间段对应第一输出阶段,在t2时间段,第一时钟信号clk具有高电平,第一输入信号input_a、第二输入信号input_b、第二时钟信clkb、第一复位电压rst_a、第二复位电压rst_b均具有低电平。此 时,由于第一输入信号input_a和第二输入信号input_b为低电平,因此第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2关断,但是由于第一电容C11和第二电容C22的保持作用,第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4继续开启,因第一时钟信号clk具有高电平,因此第三晶体管M3输出高电平信号至第一信号输出端output_a,即第一信号输出端output_a输出高电平信号,由于第一电容C11的自举作用,因此第一节点pu的电位进一步被拉高,此时第一节点pu的电位峰值近似变为原来的2倍值。同时,由于第四晶体管M4开启,且第二时钟信号clkb仍具有低电平,因此第二信号输出端output_b仍输出低电平信号。因第八晶体管M8的放电速度远大于第七晶体管M7的放电速度,因此第二节点pd1的电位仍为低电平。第十晶体管M10开启,第二控制电压vdd2具有低电平,故第三节点pd2的电位仍为低电平。由于第二节点pd1和第三节点pd2的电位均为低电平,因此,第十一晶体管M11至第十八晶体管M18均关断。由于第一复位电压rst_a、第二复位电压rst_b均为低电平电压,因此,第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6均关断。
例如,如图5A和图6所示,t3时间段对应第一中间阶段(或者称第一信号输出端output_a复位阶段)。在t3时间段,第一时钟信号clk、第一输入信号input_a、第二输入信号input_b、第二时钟信号clkb、第一复位电压rst_a、第二复位电压rst_b均具有低电平。此时第一输入信号input_a和第二输入信号input_b具有低电平,因此第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2关断。由于第一电容C11和第二电容C22的保持作用,第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4继续开启,因第一时钟信号clk和第二时钟信号clkb均具有低电平,此时,由于第三晶体管M3的反向放电将第一信号输出端output_a的电位放电至低电平,同时第四晶体管M4开启,第二时钟信号clkb仍被写入第二信号输出端output_b,使得第二信号输出端output_b维持低电平。此时,在第一电容C11的自举作用下,第一节点pu的电位将下降到原来高电平的水平,即第一节点pu处的信号变约为第一输入信号。第一节点pu的电位仍为高电平,从而第二节点pd1和第三节点pd2的电位仍保持为低电平,因此,第十一晶体管M11至第十八晶体管M18均关断。由于第一复位电压rst_a、第二复位电压rst_b均为低电平电压,因此,第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6关断。
例如,如图5A和图6所示,t4时间段对应第一放电阶段。在t4时间段,第一复位电压rst_a具有高电平,第一时钟信号clk、第一输入信号input_a、 第二输入信号input_b、第二时钟信号clkb、第二复位电压rst_b均具有低电平。由于第一复位电压rst_a具有高电平,因此第五晶体管M5开启,故第一节点pu被放电至低电平,即第一节点pu的电压被下拉至第三电源端vss的电压,因此第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4关断,第八晶体管M8和第十晶体管M10关断。第七晶体管M7的控制极(即栅极)和第一极(即源极)均与第一电源端vdd1相连,第一电源端vdd1输出的第一控制电压vdd1具有高电平,因此,第七晶体管M7开启,第二节点pd1被写入高电平,即第一控制电压vdd1,故第十一晶体管M11、第十二晶体管M12、第十五晶体管M15和第十六晶体管M16开启,使得第一节点pu、第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b放电至低电平。因第二控制电压vdd2具有低电平,第三节点pd2的电位仍为低电平,因此第十三晶体管M13、第十四晶体管M14、第十七晶体管M17和第十八晶体管M18保持关断。此时,第一输入信号input_a和第二输入信号input_b均具有低电平,因此第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2关断。第二复位电压rst_b为低电平电压,因此第六晶体管M6关断。
由以上4个时间段(即t1时间段至t4时间段)的时序分析知道,图6的驱动时序在第一控制电压vdd1具有高电平,且第一时钟信号clk为脉冲时信号时,可以实现图2中第N帧时间的驱动时序;同理分析可以得到,在第二控制电压vdd2具有高电平,且第二时钟信号clkb为脉冲信号时,可以实现图2中第N+1帧时间的驱动时序。由此,在第一控制电压vdd1、第二控制电压vdd2在不同帧交替为高电平,同时配合第一时钟信号clk、第二时钟信号clkb在不同帧交替为脉冲信号时,能够实现图2中的像素驱动时序。
基于上述实施例,在不同帧时,第一时钟信号交替为脉冲信号和低电平直流信号,对应地,第二时钟信号交替为低电平直流信号和脉冲信号,能够实现第一移位寄存单元与第二移位寄存单元交替进行像素驱动,满足图2的驱动时序要求。另外,该移位寄存器整体上使用的晶体管数目较少,使得实现起来更加简单。
综上,根据本公开一些实施例提供的移位寄存器,在任意两个相邻帧的其中一帧时间(例如,第一帧时间)内,第一电源端输出第一控制电压,第一时钟信号和第一输入信号为脉冲信号,以使第一移位寄存单元工作,在任意两个相邻帧的另一帧时间(例如,第二帧时间)内,第二电源端输出第二控制电压,第二时钟信号和第二输入信号为脉冲信号,以使第二移位寄存单元工作,从而 第一移位寄存单元与第二移位寄存单元交替进行像素驱动,实现采用两套驱动设计的像素电路所需的驱动时序,并且易于实现。
本公开一些实施例还提供一种栅极驱动电路。图7是根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种栅极驱动电路的结构原理图,图8为根据本公开一些实施例提供的图7所示的栅极驱动电路的工作时序的示意图。
例如,如图7所示,栅极驱动电路包括多个移位寄存器(例如,图7所示的SR1、SR2、SR3和SR4),多个移位寄存器级联连接。每个移位寄存器均为上述任一实施例所述的移位寄存器。下面以每个移位寄存器为图4A所示的移位寄存器为例说明栅极驱动电路。
根据本公开的一些实施例,多个级联的移位寄存器组成多个栅极驱动电路组,每个栅极驱动电路组包括2P个移位寄存器,每组栅极驱动电路组中的2P个移位寄存器与2P个时钟信号组对应,每个时钟信号组中的两个时钟信号分别提供至相应移位寄存器的第一时钟信号端clk和第二时钟信号端clkb,P为正整数。也就是说,每个移位寄存器对应一个时钟信号组,即一个时钟信号组中的两个时钟信号传输至对应图3-6所示的移位寄存器的第一时钟信号端clk和第二时钟信号端clkb,也就是说,一个时钟信号组包括一个第一时钟信号和一个第二时钟信号。例如,P为正整数。
例如,在第N帧时间内,第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号为脉冲信号,且第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号为低电平直流信号,每组栅极驱动电路组包括2P个第一时钟信号端clk,且2P个第一时钟信号端clk输出的2P个第一时钟信号均为脉冲信号,假设脉冲信号的周期为T,那么,在2P个第一时钟信号中,第i+1个第一时钟信号的相位比第i个第一时钟信号的相位晚(T/2P)个周期。在相邻的第N+1帧时间内,第二时钟信号端clkb输出的第二时钟信号为脉冲信号,第一时钟信号端clk输出的第一时钟信号为低电平直流信号,每组栅极驱动电路组包括2P个第二时钟信号端clkb,且2P个第二时钟信号端clkb输出的2P个第一时钟信号为脉冲信号,假设脉冲信号的周期为T,那么,在2P个第二时钟信号中,第i+1个第二时钟信号的相位比第i个第二时钟信号的相位晚(T/2P)个周期。i为正整数。
当P=1时,每级移位寄存器的第一信号输入端连接前1级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端,每级移位寄存器的第二信号输入端连接前1级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端,每级移位寄存器的第一复位信号端连接后1级移位寄存器的第 一信号输出端,每级移位寄存器的第二复位信号端连接后1级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端。
需要说明的是,前1级移位寄存器是指当前级移位寄存器的前1级移位寄存器,后1级移位寄存器是指当前级移位寄存器的后1级栅极驱动电路,以第j级作为当前级为例,第j级移位寄存器的前1级移位寄存器为第(j-1)级移位寄存器,第j级移位寄存器的后1级移位寄存器为第(j+1)级移位寄存器。也就是说,第j级移位寄存器的第一信号输入端连接第(j-1)级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端,第j级移位寄存器的第二信号输入端连接第(j-1)级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端,第j级移位寄存器的第一复位信号端连接第(j+1)级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端,第j级移位寄存器的第二复位信号端连接第(j+1)级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端。
当P大于1时,每级移位寄存器的第一信号输入端连接前P级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端,每级移位寄存器的第二信号输入端连接前P级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端,每级移位寄存器的第一复位信号端连接后(P+1)级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端,每级移位寄存器的第二复位信号端连接后(P+1)级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端。
需要说明的是,前P级移位寄存器是指当前级移位寄存器的前P级移位寄存器,后(P+1)级移位寄存器是指当前级移位寄存器的后(P+1)级移位寄存器,以第j级作为当前级为例,第j级移位寄存器的前P级移位寄存器为第(j-P)级移位寄存器,第j级移位寄存器的后(P+1)级移位寄存器为第(j+P+1)级移位寄存器。也就是说,第j级移位寄存器的第一信号输入端连接第(j-P)级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端,第j级移位寄存器的第二信号输入端连接第(j-P)级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端,第j级移位寄存器的第一复位信号端连接第(j+P+1)级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端,第j级移位寄存器的第二复位信号端连接第(j+P+1)级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端。
例如,j为大于P的整数。
可以理解的是,如图7所示,当前级移位寄存器不存在前P级移位寄存器或前1级移位寄存器时,可将当前级移位寄存器的第一信号输入端和第二信号输入端连接预设控制信号端STV。当前级移位寄存器不存在后(P+1)级移位寄存器或后1级移位寄存器时,可将当前级移位寄存器的第一复位信号端和第二复位信号端连接预设复位信号端。
下面结合图7和图8以4个时钟信号组为例进行详细说明,即P=2。
如图7所示,栅极驱动电路包括第一级移位寄存器SR1、第二级移位寄存器SR2、第三级移位寄存器SR3和第四级移位寄存器SR4,其中,每级移位寄存器有第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b,在驱动像素时,第一信号输出端output_a和第二信号输出端output_b输出的信号可分别对应图2中的第一扫描信号Vscan_a和第二扫描信号Vscan_b。
例如,如图7所示,栅极驱动电路还包括第一时钟信号线clk1、第二时钟信号线clk2、第三时钟信号线clk3和第四时钟信号线clk4。各级移位寄存器与上述各时钟信号线的连接方式如下并以此类推。第4n-3级移位寄存器(例如,第一级移位寄存器SR1)的第一时钟信号端clk和第一时钟信号线clk1连接,第4n-2级移位寄存器(例如,第二级移位寄存器SR2)的第一时钟信号端clk和第二时钟信号线clk2连接,第4n-1级移位寄存器单元(例如,第三级移位寄存器SR3)的第一时钟信号端clk和第三时钟信号线clk3连接,第4n级移位寄存器单元(例如,第四级移位寄存器SR4)的第一时钟信号端clk和第四时钟信号线clk4连接。这里,n为大于0的整数。
例如,如图7所示,栅极驱动电路还包括第五时钟信号线clkb1、第六时钟信号线clkb2、第七时钟信号线clkb3和第八时钟信号线clkb4。各级移位寄存器与上述各时钟信号线的连接方式如下并以此类推。第4n-3级移位寄存器(例如,第一级移位寄存器SR1)的第二时钟信号端clkb和第五时钟信号线clkb1连接,第4n-2级移位寄存器(例如,第二级移位寄存器SR2)的第二时钟信号端clkb和第六时钟信号线clkb2连接,第4n-1级移位寄存器单元(例如,第三级移位寄存器SR3)的第二时钟信号端clkb和第七时钟信号线clkb3连接,第4n级移位寄存器单元(例如,第四级移位寄存器SR4)的第二时钟信号端clkb和第八时钟信号线clkb4连接。
例如,如图7所示,栅极驱动电路还包括第一电源线vdd1、第二电源线vdd2和第三电源线vss,每级移位寄存器的第一电源端vdd1与第一电源线vdd1连接,每级移位寄存器的第二电源端vdd2与第二电源线vdd2连接,每级移位寄存器的第三电源端vss与第三电源线vss连接。
并且,如图7所示,第一级移位寄存器SR1的第一信号输出端output1_a和第二信号输出端output1_b分别连接第三级移位寄存器SR3的第一信号输入端input3_a和第二信号输入端input3_b,第二级移位寄存器SR2的第一信号输 出端output2_a和第二信号输出端output2_b分别连接第四级移位寄存器SR4的第一信号输入端input4_a和第二信号输入端input4_b;第四级移位寄存器SR4的输出第一信号输出端output4_a和第二信号输出端output4_b分别连接到第一级移位寄存器SR1的第一复位信号端rst_a和第二复位信号端rst_b。
如图8所示,在第一时钟信号线clk1、第二时钟信号线clk2、第三时钟信号线clk3和第四时钟信号线clk4输出的信号均为脉冲信号,第五时钟信号线clkb1、第六时钟信号线clkb2、第七时钟信号线clkb3和第八时钟信号线clkb4输出的信号均为低电平直流信号时,第一级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端output1_a至第四级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端output4_a依次输出行驱动信号,而第一级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端output1_b至第四级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端output4_b则始终输出低电平信号。同理,在第五时钟信号线clkb1、第六时钟信号线clkb2、第七时钟信号线clkb3和第八时钟信号线clkb4输出的信号均为脉冲信号,第一时钟信号线clk1、第二时钟信号线clk2、第三时钟信号线clk3和第四时钟信号线clk4输出的信号均为低电平直流信号时,第一级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端output1_b至第四级移位寄存器的第二信号输出端output4_b依次输出行驱动信号,而第一级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端output1_a至第四级移位寄存器的第一信号输出端output4_a则始终输出低电平信号。
由此,通过上述移位寄存器的级联结构,在不同帧时,每级移位寄存器的第一时钟信号交替为脉冲信号和低电平直流信号,对应地,每级移位寄存器的第二时钟信号交替为低电平直流信号和脉冲信号,能够实现每级移位寄存器的第一移位寄存单元与第二移位寄存单元交替进行像素驱动的驱动时序,且整体上使用的晶体管数目较少,使得栅极驱动电路实现起来更加简单。
综上,根据本公开一些实施例提供的栅极驱动电路,通过多级移位寄存器的第一移位寄存单元与第二移位寄存单元交替进行像素驱动,实现采用两套驱动设计的像素电路所需的驱动时序,且易于实现。
本公开一些实施例还提供一种显示装置。图9是根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种显示装置的方框示意图。例如,如图9所示,显示装置30包括栅极驱动电路20,栅极驱动电路20为本公开上面任一实施例所述的栅极驱动电路。
