Description
本申请涉及显示面板的技术领域,尤其涉及一种具有阵列基板栅极驱动电路的显示装置及其移位暂存电路。
近年来,液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)因其图像清晰精确、平面显示、厚度薄、重量轻、无辐射、低能耗、工作电压低等优点已被广泛的使用。传统的液晶显示器在进行栅极驱动时,主要采用栅极驱动芯片(Gate Driver 1C)来实现。由于栅极驱动芯片需要通过连接器与显示面板(Panel)连接,并且在一个液晶显示器中需要使用多个栅极驱动芯片,因此液晶显示器的制造成本仍然偏高。
随着新技术的开发,许多液晶显示面板已采用阵列基板栅极驱动(Gate Driver on Array,GOA)技术来取代外接的栅极驱动芯片。阵列基板栅极驱动技术,是透过曝光显影的制程,将栅极驱动集成电路直接制作在主动开关阵列基板表面,从而省掉外接的栅极驱动芯片。从材料成本和工艺步骤两个方面来看,阵列基板栅极驱动技术能大幅的降低产品的成本,并且还可使进一步降低液晶显示面板的功耗。
典型的阵列基板栅极驱动电路具有多级的移位暂存器,每一个移位暂存器在对栅极讯号线进行扫描驱动时,其栅极电压点将接收一个预充信号,对栅极电压点进行预充,使该点电压在时钟信号的作用下达到高电压准位,进而使得控制输出的薄膜晶体管(Thin-Film Transistor,TFT)打开,顺利的传递讯号,进而驱动面板栅极讯号线。因此,对于基板栅极驱动电路的移位暂存器来说,必需能稳定且精确的输出栅极驱动讯号,才不致于发生误动作造成噪声,从而影响了显示器的画质呈现。

所述子下拉控制模块21,电性耦接于所述移位暂存器2的所述低预设电位Vss及所述子下拉模块22,用于控制所述子下拉模块22于正确的时间进行操作。亦即,透过子下拉模块22,可消除增压节点BP与输出端O的噪声,确保电压信号Qn以及栅极扫描信号Gn,在非操作时 间内能持续维持于预设低电平Vss,避免发生误动作。
图2b为示例性的移位暂存电路中增压节点BP的电压信号Qn波形示意图。请同时搭配参考图2a,当图2a中前一级移位暂存器(n-1)的级传信号ST,传送至所述增压节点BP时,会对增压节点BP进行预充电,将电压信号Qn提高至一电平A,如图2b所示。随后,当时钟信号CK施加于第一开关T1的第一端T1b时,会产生电性耦合,使增压节点BP的电压信号Qn从预充后的电平A进一步提高至电平B,如图2b所示。耦合后的电压信号Qn施加于第一开关T1的控制端T1a,会使第一开关T1打开,将第一端T1a上的时钟信号CK传送至第二端T1b,并经由输出端O输出,而产生所述的栅极扫描信号Gn。随后,如图2b所示,随着时钟信号CK的结束,增压节点BP的电压信号Qn从耦和后的电平B降低至预充后的电平A。

在时段t1,由于接收了由前一级移位暂存器传送过来的级传信号ST,即第3级移位暂存器的级传信号ST,对增压节点BP进行预充电,因此电压信号Q4会提高至电平A。亦即,第二开关T2会跟随前二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-2)的脉冲,即图2c中时钟信号CK2的脉冲,输入所述级传信号ST至所述增压节点BP,以提高所述增压节点BP的电压信号Q4至所述电平A。
在时段t2,由于时钟信号CK4,与增压节点BP产生电性耦合,因此电压信号Q4从电平A耦合提高至电平B,并且使图2a中的第一开关T1打开,而导通时钟信号CK4,并输出栅极扫描信号。
随后,在时段t3,由于时钟信号CK4的脉冲结束,因此增压节点BP的电压信号Q4,会从电平B下拉至电平A。其后,跟随时钟信号CK8的脉冲,移位暂存器2会接收前述的反馈信号FB,对增压节点BP进行放电,将电压信号Q4从电平A下拉至预设低电平。

从上述的电路结构可以了解上拉模块32是受到前一级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n-1)控制而输出所述第一上拉信号Pu1,并且是受到后一级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n+1)控制而输出所 述第二上拉信号Pu2。
换言之,所述上拉模块32是根据前一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-1)输出所述第一上拉信号Pu1,将所述电压信号Qn由所述第一电平A’拉高至所述第二电平B’,并且根据后二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+2)输出所述第二上拉信号Pu2,使所述电压信号Qn维持于所述第二电平B’。

接着,根据时钟信号CK(n-1)的脉冲,上拉模块32将第一上拉信号Pu1传送至所述增压节点BP,使增压节点BP的电压信号Qn由第一电平A’上拉至第二电平B’。
随后,当时钟信号CKn施加于开关T11的第一端T11b时,会产生电性耦合,使增压节点BP的电压信号Qn从预充后的第二电平B’进一步提高至第三电平C’,如图3e所示。耦合后的电压信号Qn施加于开关T11的控制端T11a,会使开关T11打开,将第一端T11a上的时钟信号CKn传送至第二端T11b,并经由输出端O输出,而产生所述的栅极扫描信号Gn。
随后,如图3e所示,随着时钟信号CKn的结束,增压节点BP的电压信号Qn从耦和后的第三电平C’向下降。此时,根据时钟信号CK(n+2)的脉冲,上拉模块32将第二上拉信号Pu2传送至所述增压节点BP,使增压节点BP的电压信号能持续维持于第二电平B’。当时钟信号CK(n+1)的脉冲结束时,上拉模块会停止输出第二上拉信号Pu2,此时增压节点BP的电压信号Qn会从第二电平B’下拉至第一电平A’。
请配合参考图3a、图3b、图3e与图4,图4为本申請一实施例中的移位暂存电路的工作时序示意图,用于显示第4级(n=4)移位暂存器3的工作时序图,并且为了便于比对,也同时显示了上述第4级移位暂存器2的部分工作时序。
如图4所示,移位暂存电路使用了八组时钟信号CK1-CK8来控制操作。其中,移位暂存器3于增压节点BP处的电压信号Q4’,可以分为五个时段:t1’为级传信号ST进行预充电时间;t2’为第一上拉信号Pu1作用时间;t3’为输出栅极扫描信号Gn时间;t4’为第二上拉信号Pu2作用时间;t5’则为下拉栅极扫描信号Gn时间。
在时段t1’,根据时钟信号CK2,由前一级移位暂存器传送过来的级传信号ST,即第3级移位暂存器的级传信号ST,会对增压节点BP进行预充电,因此电压信号Q4’会提高至第一电平A’。亦即,开关T12会根据时钟信号CK2,输入所述级传信号ST至所述增压节点BP。
在时段t2’,根据时钟信号CK3,上拉模块32会输出所述第一上拉信号Pu1,将所述电压信号Q4’由所述第一电平A’拉高至所述第二电平B’,第一上拉信号Pu1的脉冲会跟随时钟信号CK2的脉冲结束。
在时段t3’,由于时钟信号CK4施加于开关T11的第一端T11b,并与增压节点BP产生电性耦合,因此电压信号Q4’从第二电平B’耦合提高至第三电平C’,并且使图3b中的开关T11打开,而导通时钟信号CK4,并输出栅极扫描信号。
随后,在时段t4’,时钟信号CK4的脉冲结束,导致增压节点BP的电压信号Q4’,会从第三电平C’下拉。但是,根据时钟信号CK6,上拉模块32会输出所述第二上拉信号Pu2,使所述电压信号Q4’可维持于所述第二电平B’。第二上拉信号Pu2的脉冲会跟随时钟信号CK5的脉冲同时结束。
在时段t5’,由于第二上拉信号Pu2的脉冲结束,所以电压信号Q4’会由所述第二电平B’下拉至第一电平A’。在时段t5’之后,伴随时钟信号CK8的脉冲,移位暂存器3会接收前述的反馈信号FB,对增压节点BP进行放电,将电压信号Q4’从第一电平A’下拉至预设低电平。
值得注意的是,所述上拉模块32除了以图3b中所显示的信号控制方式外,还能透过不同的信号控制方式,来产生所需的第一上拉信号Pu1与第二上拉信号Pu2。
例如,在图3b中,开关T15的控制端T15a电性耦接前一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-1),第一端T15b则是电性耦接前二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-2)。但是,在一实施例中,开关T15的控制端T15a亦可电性耦接前二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-2),至于第一端T15b则可电性耦接前一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-1)。其中,开关T15回应于所述前二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-2)而开启,导通所述开关T15的第一端T15b与第二端T15c,将所述前一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-1)传送至开关T15的第二端T15c。
此外,图3b中,开关T17的控制端T17a电性耦接后一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+1),第一端T17b则电性耦接后二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+2)。但是,在一实施例中,开关T17的控制端T17a亦可电性耦接后二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+2),至于第一端T17b则可电性耦接后一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+1)。如此,开关T17回应于所述后二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+2)而开启,导通所述开关T17的所述第一端T17b与第二端T17c,将所述后一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+1)传送至所述开关T17的第二端T17c。
在一实施例中,所述开关T16的一控制端T16a,亦可电性耦接前二级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n-2),并回应于前二级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n-2)而开启,输出所述第一上拉信号Pu1(n)至所述增压节点BP。

此外,从上述的电路结构可以了解耦合上拉模块42是受到前一级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n-1)控制而产生所述第一上拉信号Pu1,将所述电压信号Qn由所述第一电平A’耦合拉高至所述第二电平B’,并且是受到后一级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n+1)控制而产生所述第二上拉信号Pu2,电性耦合至所述增压节点,使所述电压信号Qn维持于所述第二电平。
换言之,所述耦合上拉模块42是根据前一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-1)产生所述第一上拉信号Pu1,将所述电压信号Qn由所述第一电平A’耦合拉高至所述第二电平B’,并且根据后二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+2)产生所述第二上拉信号Pu2,电性耦合至所述增压节点,使所述电压信号Qn维持于所述第二电平B’。
至于,所述输入模块41则是根据前二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-2)输入所述级传信号ST至所述增压节点BP,以提高所述增压节点BP的电压信号Qn至所述第一电平A’。
图3e为示例性的移位暂存电路中增压节点BP的电压信号Qn波形示意图。当图3d中前一级移位暂存器的级传信号ST,根据时钟信号CK(n-2)的脉冲,传送至所述增压节点BP时,会对增压节点BP进行预充电,将电压信号Qn提高至第一电平A’,如图3e所示。
接着,根据时钟信号CK(n-1)的脉冲,耦合上拉模块42产生第一上拉信号Pu1,并透过电性耦合,使增压节点BP的电压信号Qn由第一电平A’耦合上拉至第二电平B’。
随后,当时钟信号CKn施加于开关T21的第一端T21b时,会产生电性耦合,使增压节点BP的电压信号Qn从预充后的第二电平B’进一步提高至第三电平C’,如图3e所示。耦合后的电压信号Qn施加于开关T21的控制端T21a,会使开关T21打开,将第一端T21a上的时钟信号CKn传送至第二端T21b,并经由输出端O输出,产生所述的栅极扫描信号Gn。
随后,如图3e所示,随着时钟信号CKn的结束,增压节点BP的电压信号Qn从耦和后的第三电平C’向下降。此时,根据时钟信号CK(n+2)的脉冲,耦合上拉模块42会产生第二上拉信号Pu2,并透过电性耦合间接作用于增压节点BP,使增压节点BP的电压信号能持续维持于第二电平B’。当时钟信号CK(n+1)的脉冲结束时,耦合上拉模块会停止输出第二上拉信号Pu2,此时增压节点BP的电压信号Qn会从第二电平B’下拉至第一电平A’。
以下参照图3c、图3d、图3e与图4进行说明。
如图4所示,移位暂存电路使用了八组时钟信号CK1-CK8来控制操作。其中,移位暂存器4于增压节点BP处的电压信号Q4’,可以分为五个时段:t1’为级传信号ST进行预充电时间;t2’为第一上拉信号Pu1耦合作用时间;t3’为输出栅极扫描信号Gn时间;t4’为第二上拉信号Pu2耦合作用时间;t5’则为下拉栅极扫描信号Gn时间。
在时段t1’,根据时钟信号CK2,由前一级移位暂存器传送过来的级传信号ST,即第3级移位暂存器的级传信号ST,会对增压节点BP进行预充电,因此电压信号Q4’会提高至第一电平A’。亦即,开关T22会根据时钟信号CK2,输入所述级传信号ST至所述增压节点BP。
在时段t2’,根据时钟信号CK3,耦合上拉模块42会产生所述第一上拉信号Pu1,与增压节点BP产生电性耦合,将所述电压信号Q4’由所述第一电平A’耦合拉高至所述第二电平B’,第一上拉信号Pu1的脉冲会跟随时钟信号CK2的脉冲结束。
在时段t3’,由于时钟信号CK4施加于开关T21的第一端T21b,并与增压节点BP产生电性耦合,因此电压信号Q4’从第二电平B’耦合提高至第三电平C’,并且使图3d中的开关T21打开,而导通时钟信号CK4,并输出栅极扫描信号。
随后,在时段t4’,时钟信号CK4的脉冲结束,导致增压节点BP的电压信号Q4’,会从第三电平C’下拉。但是,根据时钟信号CK6,耦合上拉模块42会产生所述第二上拉信号Pu2,与 增压节点BP产生电性耦合,使所述电压信号Q4’可维持于所述第二电平B’。第二上拉信号Pu2的脉冲会跟随时钟信号CK5的脉冲同时结束。
在时段t5’,由于第二上拉信号Pu2的脉冲结束,所以电压信号Q4’会由所述第二电平B’下拉至第一电平A’。在时段t5’之后,伴随时钟信号CK8的脉冲,移位暂存器4会接收前述的反馈信号FB,对增压节点BP进行放电,将电压信号Q4’从第一电平A’下拉至预设低电平。
值得注意的是,所述耦合上拉模块42除了以图3d中所显示的信号控制方式外,还能透过不同的信号控制方式,来产生所需的第一上拉信号Pu1与第二上拉信号Pu2。
例如,在图3d中,开关T25的控制端T25a电性耦接前一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-1),第一端T25b则是电性耦接前二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-2)。但是,在一实施例中,开关T25的控制端T25a亦可电性耦接前二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-2),至于第一端T25b则可电性耦接前一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-1)。其中,开关T25回应于所述前二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-2)而开启,导通所述开关T25的第一端T25b与第二端T25c,将所述前一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n-1)传送至开关T25的第二端T25c。
此外,图3d中,开关T27的控制端T27a电性耦接后一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+1),第一端T27b则电性耦接后二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+2)。但是,在一实施例中,开关T27的控制端T27a亦可电性耦接后二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+2),至于第一端T27b则可电性耦接后一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+1)。如此,开关T27回应于所述后二级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+2)而开启,导通所述开关T27的所述第一端T27b与第二端T27c,将所述后一级移位暂存器的时钟信号CK(n+1)传送至所述开关T27的第二端T27c。
在一实施例中,所述开关T26的一控制端T26a,亦可电性耦接前二级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n-2),并回应于前二级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n-2)而开启,输出所述第一上拉信号Pu1(n)。
在另一实施例中,所述第八开关T28的一控制端T28a,亦可电性耦接后二级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n+2),并回应于所述后二级移位暂存器的电压信号Q(n+2)而开启,输出所述第二上拉信号Pu2(n)。
图5为本申请一实施例的显示装置示意图。请参照图5,所述显示装置12,包括一主动开关阵列基板121、一对向基板120与所述主动开关阵列基板121对向设置、以及一阵列基板栅极驱动电路122,其中阵列基板栅极驱动电路122以微影制程直接制作在主动开关阵列基板121的表面上。所述的阵列基板栅极驱动电路122包括了图3c与图3d中所显示的移位暂存电路。亦即,在所述阵列基板栅极驱动电路110中会具有多级的移位暂存器3或移位暂存器4。
本申请由于使用了一耦合上拉模块,输出第一上拉信号Pu1,透过电性耦合,间接作用于增压节点,而使增压节点的电压信号上拉至更高的电平。因此,当时钟信号与输出模块电性耦和时,能确保开关迅速的打开,使移位暂存器能准确且顺利的输出栅极扫描信号。其次,由于本申请的耦合上拉模块,在栅极扫描信号的脉冲结束时,还会输出第二上拉信号Pu2,透过电性耦合,间接作用于增压节点,来维持增压节点的电压信号于一高电平,因此可加速下拉栅极扫描信号,进而改善栅极扫描信号的拖尾现象,从而提升显示画面的品质。
以上所述,仅是本申请的具体实施例而已,并非对本申请作任何形式上的限制,虽然本申请已以具体实施例揭露如上,然而并非用以限定本申请,任何熟悉本专业的技术人员,在不脱离本申请技术方案范围内,当可利用上述揭示的方法及技术内容作出些许的更动或修饰为等同变化的等效实施例,但凡是未脱离本申请技术方案的内容,依据本申请的技术实质对以上实施例所作的任何简单修改、等同变化与修饰,均仍属于本申请技术方案的范围内。
