具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本公开实施例的附图,对本公开实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例是本公开的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本公开的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非另外定义,本公开使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本公开所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。同样,“一个”、“一”或者“该”等类似词语也不表示数量限制,而是表示存在至少一个。“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同,而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
在本公开的实施例中,例如,当各个电路实现为N型晶体管时,术语“上 拉”表示对一个节点或一个晶体管的一个电极进行充电,以使得该节点或该电极的电平的绝对值升高,从而实现相应晶体管的操作(例如导通);“下拉”表示对一个节点或一个晶体管的一个电极进行放电,以使得该节点或该电极的电平的绝对值降低,从而实现相应晶体管的操作(例如截止)。
又例如,当各个电路实现为P型晶体管时,术语“上拉”表示对一个节点或一个晶体管的一个电极进行放电,以使得该节点或该电极的电平的绝对值降低,从而实现相应晶体管的操作(例如导通);“下拉”表示对一个节点或一个晶体管的一个电极进行充电,以使得该节点或该电极的电平的绝对值升高,从而实现相应晶体管的操作(例如截止)。
并且,术语“上拉”、“下拉”的具体含义也将根据所采用的晶体管的具体类型而相应调整,只要能实现对于晶体管的控制以实现相应的开关功能。
目前用于OLED的栅极驱动电路通常要用三个子电路组合而成,即检测电路、显示电路和输出两者复合脉冲的连接电路(或门电路),这样的电路结构非常复杂,无法满足高分辨率窄边框的要求。
在对OLED显示面板中的子像素单元进行补偿时,除了在子像素单元中设置像素补偿电路进行内部补偿外,还可以通过设置感测晶体管进行外部补偿。在进行外部补偿时,由移位寄存器单元构成的栅极驱动电路需要向显示面板中的子像素单元分别提供用于扫描晶体管和感测晶体管的驱动信号,例如,在一帧的显示时段提供用于扫描晶体管的扫描驱动信号,在一帧的消隐时段提供用于感测晶体管的感测驱动信号。
在一种外部补偿方法中,栅极驱动电路输出的感测驱动信号是逐行顺序扫描的,例如,在第一帧的消隐时段输出用于显示面板中第一行的子像素单元的感测驱动信号,在第二帧的消隐时段输出用于显示面板中第二行的子像素单元的感测驱动信号,依次类推,以每帧输出对应一行子像素单元的感测驱动信号的频率逐行顺序输出,即完成对显示面板的逐行顺序补偿。
但是,在采用上述逐行顺序补偿的方法时,可能会产生以下显示不良问题:一是在进行多帧图像的扫描显示过程中有一条逐行移动的扫描线;二是由于进行外部补偿的时间点存在差异,从而可能会造成显示面板不同区域的亮度差异比较大,例如,在对显示面板的第100行的子像素单元进行外部补偿时,显示面板的第10行的子像素单元虽然已经进行过外部补偿了,但此时第10行的子像素单元的发光亮度可能已经发生变化,例如发光亮度降低, 从而会造成显示面板不同区域的亮度不均匀,在大尺寸的显示面板中这种问题会更加明显。
如上所述,在栅极驱动电路驱动一个显示面板时,如果要实现外部补偿,则需要该栅极驱动电路不仅可以输出用于显示时段的扫描驱动信号,同时还需要输出用于消隐时段的感测驱动信号,即需要专门用于消隐时段的消隐单元。在这种情形下,栅极驱动电路所占用的面积可能会比较大,从而使得采用该栅极驱动电路的显示装置的边框的尺寸较大。
针对上述问题,本公开的至少一实施例提供一种移位寄存器单元,该移位寄存器单元包括消隐单元、第一传输电路、第二传输电路、第一输入输出单元和第二输入输出单元。消隐单元被配置为响应于补偿选择控制信号对上拉控制节点进行充电并将消隐上拉信号输入到消隐上拉节点;第一输入输出单元包括第一上拉节点和第一输出端,第二输入输出单元包括第二上拉节点和第二输出端;第一传输电路和消隐上拉节点以及第一上拉节点电连接,且被配置为响应于第一传输信号利用消隐上拉信号对第一上拉节点进行充电;第二传输电路和消隐上拉节点以及第二上拉节点电连接,且被配置为响应于第二传输信号利用消隐上拉信号对第二上拉节点进行充电;第一输入输出单元被配置为响应于第一显示输入信号对第一上拉节点进行充电,并且被配置为在第一上拉节点的电平的控制下将复合输出信号输出至第一输出端;第二输入输出单元被配置为响应于第二显示输入信号对第二上拉节点进行充电,并且被配置为在第二上拉节点的电平的控制下将复合输出信号输出至第二输出端。
本公开的实施例还提供对应于上述移位寄存器单元的栅极驱动电路、显示装置及驱动方法。
本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器单元、栅极驱动电路、显示装置及驱动方法,可以共用消隐单元,从而使得采用该移位寄存器单元的显示装置可以减小边框尺寸,降低成本;同时,在兼顾逐行顺序补偿(例如在关机检测中需要进行逐行顺序补偿)的前提下,还可以实现随机补偿,从而可以避免由于逐行顺序补偿造成的扫描线以及显示亮度不均匀等显示不良问题。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,随机补偿指的是区别于逐行顺序补偿的一种外部补偿方法,采用随机补偿可以在某一帧的消隐时段随机输出对应于显示面板中任意一行的子像素单元的感测驱动信号,以下各实施例与 此相同,不再赘述。
另外,在本公开的实施例中,为了说明的目的,定义“一帧”、“每帧”或“某一帧”包括依次进行的显示时段和消隐时段,例如在显示时段中栅极驱动电路输出显示输出信号,该显示输出信号可以驱动显示面板从第一行到最后一行完成完整的一幅图像的扫描显示(即一帧图像的扫描显示),在消隐时段中栅极驱动电路输出消隐输出信号,该消隐输出信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的某一行子像素单元中的感测晶体管,以完成该行子像素单元的外部补偿。
下面结合附图对本公开的实施例及其示例进行详细说明。
本公开的至少一个实施例提供一种移位寄存器单元10,如图1所示,该移位寄存器单元10包括消隐单元100、第一传输电路210、第二传输电路220、第一输入输出单元310和第二输入输出单元320。第一输入输出单元310包括第一上拉节点Q1和第一输出端OP1,第二输入输出单元Q2包括第二上拉节点Q2和第二输出端OP2。多个该移位寄存器单元10可以级联构建本公开一实施例提供的栅极驱动电路。

第一传输电路210和消隐上拉节点N以及第一上拉节点Q1电连接,且被配置为响应于第一传输信号利用消隐上拉信号对第一上拉节点Q1进行充电。例如,第一传输电路210可以和第一传输信号端TS1连接以接收第一传输信号,第一传输电路210在第一传输信号的控制下而导通,从而可以利用消隐上拉节点N获得的消隐上拉信号对第一上拉节点Q1进行充电。例如,在一些实施例中,第一传输信号端TS1可以为第一时钟信号端CLKA,即第一传输信号为第一时钟信号端CLKA接收的第一时钟信号。
第二传输电路220和消隐上拉节点N以及第二上拉节点Q2电连接,且被配置为响应于第二传输信号利用消隐上拉信号对第二上拉节点Q2进行充电。例如,第二传输电路220可以和第二传输信号端TS2连接以接收第二传输信号,第二传输电路220在第二传输信号的控制下而导通,从而可以利用 消隐上拉节点N获得的消隐上拉信号对第二上拉节点Q2进行充电。例如,在一些实施例中,第二传输信号端TS2可以为第一时钟信号端CLKA,即第二传输信号为第一时钟信号端CLKA接收的第一时钟信号。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,对一个节点(例如上拉控制节点H、第一上拉节点Q1、第二上拉节点Q2等)进行充电表示例如将该节点与一个高电平的电压信号电连接,从而利用该高电平的电压信号以拉高该节点的电平;对一个节点进行放电(或复位)表示例如将该节点与一个低电平的电压信号电连接,从而利用该低电平的电压信号以拉低该节点的电平。例如,可以设置一个与该节点电连接的电容,对该节点进行充电或放电即表示对与该节点电连接的电容进行充电或放电。
第一输入输出单元310被配置为响应于第一显示输入信号对第一上拉节点Q1进行充电,并且被配置为在第一上拉节点Q1的电平的控制下将复合输出信号输出至第一输出端OP1。例如,在一帧的显示时段,第一输入输出单元310可以输出扫描驱动信号,该扫描驱动信号可以驱动显示面板中的某一行子像素单元进行扫描显示。又例如,在一帧的消隐时段,第一输入输出单元310可以输出感测驱动信号,该感测驱动信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的某一行子像素单元中的感测晶体管,以完成该行子像素单元的外部补偿。
第二输入输出单元320被配置为响应于第二显示输入信号对第二上拉节点Q2进行充电,并且被配置为在第二上拉节点Q2的电平的控制下将复合输出信号输出至第二输出端OP2。例如,在一帧的显示时段,第二输入输出单元320可以输出扫描驱动信号,该扫描驱动信号可以驱动显示面板中的某一行子像素单元进行扫描显示。又例如,在一帧的消隐时段,第二输入输出单元320可以输出感测驱动信号,该感测驱动信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的某一行子像素单元中的感测晶体管,以完成该行子像素单元的外部补偿。
例如,本公开的一些实施例还提供一种移位寄存器单元10,如图2所示,该移位寄存器单元10与图1中所示的移位寄存器单元10的区别在于还包括第三传输电路230以及与第三传输电路230电连接的第三输入输出单元330。
例如,第三传输电路230和消隐上拉节点N以及第三上拉节点Q3电连接,且被配置为响应于第三传输信号利用消隐上拉信号对第三上拉节点Q3进行充电。第三输入输出单元330被配置为响应于第三显示输入信号对第三上拉节点Q3进行充电,并且被配置为在第三上拉节点Q3的电平的控制下 将复合输出信号输出至第三输出端OP3。
本公开的一些实施例提供的移位寄存器单元10中的多个输入输出单元(第一输入输出单元310、第二输入输出单元320和第三输入输出单元330等)可以共用一个消隐单元100,从而可以简化电路结构,从而使得采用该移位寄存器单元10的显示装置可以减小边框尺寸,降低成本。
需要说明的是,图1和图2仅是本公开的两个示例,本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器单元10还可以包括更多个传输电路以及输入输出单元,传输电路和输入输出单元的个数可以根据实际情况进行设置,本公开的实施例对此不作限定。
如图3所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,消隐单元100包括消隐输入电路110和消隐上拉电路120。
该消隐输入电路110被配置为响应于补偿选择控制信号对上拉控制节点H进行充电并保持上拉控制节点H的电平。例如,在一些实施例中,消隐输入电路110可以和消隐输入信号端STU1以及补偿选择控制端OE连接,从而可以在补偿选择控制端OE输入的补偿选择控制信号的控制下,利用消隐输入信号端STU1输入的消隐输入信号对上拉控制节点H进行充电,并保持上拉控制节点H的电平。例如,消隐输入电路110可以在一帧的显示时段对上拉控制节点H进行充电,从而将上拉控制节点H的电平上拉至高电平,并可以将上拉控制节点H的高电平保持至该帧的消隐时段。
该消隐上拉电路120被配置为在上拉控制节点H的电平的控制下将消隐上拉信号输入到消隐上拉节点N。例如,在一些实施例中,消隐上拉电路120可以和第二电压端VDD连接以接收第二电压,并将第二电压作为消隐上拉信号;又例如,消隐上拉电路120还可以和第一时钟信号端CLKA连接以接收第一时钟信号,并将第一时钟信号作为消隐上拉信号。例如,在上拉控制节点H为高电平时,消隐上拉电路120导通,从而可以将消隐上拉信号输入到消隐上拉节点N。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中第二电压端VDD例如可以被配置为提供直流高电平信号,即第二电压为高电平,以下各实施例与此相同,不再赘述。
如图3所示,消隐单元100还可以包括消隐耦合电路130。该消隐耦合电路130与上拉控制节点H电连接,且被配置为对上拉控制节点H进行耦 合上拉。例如,在一些实施例中,消隐耦合电路130可以和第二电压端VDD连接以接收第二电压;又例如,消隐耦合电路130还可以和第一时钟信号端CLKA连接以接收第一时钟信号。例如,当上拉控制节点H为高电平时,该消隐耦合电路可以利用第二电压或第一时钟信号对上拉控制节点H耦合上拉,从而可以避免上拉控制节点H发生漏电。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,在移位寄存器单元中设置消隐单元(例如包括消隐输入电路、消隐上拉电路以及消隐耦合电路)是为了实现在一帧的消隐时段中可以输出消隐输出信号。消隐输入电路、消隐上拉电路以及消隐耦合电路中的“消隐”仅是表示这些电路和消隐时段有关,而并不限定这些电路仅工作在消隐时段中,以下各实施例与此相同,不再赘述。

需要说明的是,在图9所示的示例中,通过设置第三电容C3可以提高第一上拉节点Q1的电平的保持能力,当然,也可以不设置第三电容C3,本公开的实施例对此不作限定。
如图9所示,第十九晶体管M19的栅极和下拉节点QB连接,第十九晶体管M19的第一极和像素扫描信号输出端OUT2连接,第十九晶体管M19的第二极和第六电压端VGL3连接。例如,当下拉节点QB的电平为高电平时,第十九晶体管M19被导通,从而可以利用低电平的第六电压对像素扫描信号输出端OUT2的电平进行下拉复位。需要说明的是,第十九晶体管M19的第二极还可以被配置为和其它信号端连接,只要可以实现对像素扫描信号输出端OUT2下拉复位即可,本公开的实施例对此不作限定。
如前所述,在本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器单元10中,可以利用第一电容C1维持上拉控制节点H处的电平,利用第二电容C2维持第一上拉节点Q1处的电平。第一电容C1和/或第二电容C2可以是通过工艺制程制作的电容器件,例如通过制作专门的电容电极来实现电容器件,该电容的各个电极可以通过金属层、半导体层(例如掺杂多晶硅)等实现,或者在一些示例中,通过设计电路布线参数使得第一电容C1和/或第二电容C2也可以通过各个器件之间的寄生电容实现。第一电容C1和/或第二电容C2的连接方式不局限于上面描述的方式,也可以为其他适用的连接方式,只要能存储写入到上拉控制节点H或第一上拉节点Q1的电平即可。
当第一上拉节点Q1和/或上拉控制节点H的电平维持在高电平时,存在一些晶体管(例如第一晶体管M1、第十晶体管M10、第十五晶体管M15、第十六晶体管M16以及第一传输晶体管TM1)的第一极连接第一上拉节点Q1或上拉控制节点H,而第二极连接低电平信号。即使在这些晶体管的栅 极输入的是非导通信号的情况下,由于其第一极和第二极之间存在电压差,也可能出现漏电的情况,从而使得移位寄存器单元10中对于第一上拉节点Q1和/或上拉控制节点H的电平维持的效果变差。
例如,如图5所示,以上拉控制节点H为例,第一晶体管M1的第一极和消隐输入信号端STU1连接,第二极和上拉控制节点H连接。当上拉控制节点H的电平处于高电平,而消隐输入信号端STU1输入的信号为低电平时,上拉控制节点H可能会通过第一晶体管M1漏电。

类似地,如图7所示,对应于第一传输晶体管MT1和第二传输晶体管MT2,还可以分别设置晶体管MT1_b和晶体管MT2_b以实现防漏电结构。晶体管MT1_b以及晶体管MT2_b的栅极都和第一时钟信号端CLKA连接以接收第一时钟信号,第一传输晶体管MT1的第二极以及晶体管MT1_b的第一极和第一防漏电节点OF1连接,如图10所示,第一防漏电节点OF1和第一输入输出单元310中的晶体管M21电连接;第二传输晶体管MT2的第二极以及晶体管MT2_b的第一极和第二防漏电节点OF2连接,第二防漏电节点OF2例如可以和第二输入输出单元320中的晶体管电连接以实现防漏电功能。通过设置晶体管MT1_b可以防止第一上拉节点Q1发生漏电,设置晶体管MT2_b可以防止第二上拉节点Q2发生漏电。
类似地,如图10所示,晶体管M10_b、M15_b以及M16_b可以分别结合晶体管M21实现防漏电结构,从而可以防止第一上拉节点Q1发生漏电。例如,晶体管M21的第一极和第八电压端VC连接以接收高电平的第八电压。防止第一上拉节点Q1发生漏电的工作原理和上述防止上拉控制节点H发生漏电的工作原理相同,这里不再赘述。
如图11所示,本公开的另一些实施例还提供一种第一输入输出单元310,图11中所示的第一输入输出单元310和图10中所示的第一输入输出单元310相比,增加了第二下拉节点QB2;为了和第二下拉节点QB2配合工作,相应地增加了晶体管M22、M22_b、M9_b、M13_b、M17_b、M14_b、M11_b、M12_b以及M19_b。需要说明的是,第八晶体管M8的第二极不再和下拉节点QB连接,而是和第二下拉节点QB2连接;晶体管M22_b是为了防止第一上拉节点Q1发生漏电而设置的防漏电晶体管。
在图11所示的第一输入输出单元310中,晶体管M22、M22_b以及M9_b分别和晶体管M10、M10_b以及M9的工作原理类似;晶体管M13_b、M17_b以及M14_b分别和晶体管M13、M17以及M14的工作原理类似;晶体管M11_b、M12_b以及M19_b分别和晶体管M11、M12以及M19的工作原理类似,这里不再赘述。
在本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器单元10中,通过设置第二下拉节点QB2以及相应的晶体管,可以进一步提高该移位寄存器单元10的性能。例如,在对第一上拉节点Q1进行充电时,可以使得下拉节点QB的电平和第二下拉节点QB2的电平更好地处于低电平,从而不会影响第一上拉节点Q1的电平,使得对第一上拉节点Q1的充电更充分。又例如,在移位寄存器单元10不需要输出时,可以进一步降低第一上拉节点Q1和输出端(CR、OUT、OUT2)的噪声,避免发生输出异常。
图12示出了一种本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器单元10,第一传输晶体管MT1通过第一上拉节点Q1和第一输入输出单元310连接,第二传输晶体管MT2通过第二上拉节点Q2和第二输入输出单元320连接。例如,图12中的第一输入输出单元310可以采用本公开的实施例提供的任意一个第一输入输出单元,例如该第一输入输出单元310可以采用图8、图9、图10以及图11中所示的任一电路结构。需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中对第一输入输出单元310的电路结构进行了描述,第二输入输出单元320的电路 结构可以和第一输入输出单元310的电路结构相同。本公开的实施例包括但不限于此,例如,第二输入输出单元320的电路结构也可以和第一输入输出单元310的电路结构不同,只要可以实现相应的功能即可。
本公开的实施例中采用的晶体管均可以为薄膜晶体管或场效应晶体管或其他特性相同的开关器件,本公开的实施例中均以薄膜晶体管为例进行说明。这里采用的晶体管的源极、漏极在结构上可以是对称的,所以其源极、漏极在结构上可以是没有区别的。在本公开的实施例中,为了区分晶体管除栅极之外的两极,直接描述了其中一极为第一极,另一极为第二极。此外,按照晶体管的特性区分可以将晶体管分为N型和P型晶体管。当晶体管为P型晶体管时,开启电压为低电平电压(例如,0V、-5V、-10V或其他合适的电压),关闭电压为高电平电压(例如,5V、10V或其他合适的电压);当晶体管为N型晶体管时,开启电压为高电平电压(例如,5V、10V或其他合适的电压),关闭电压为低电平电压(例如,0V、-5V、-10V或其他合适的电压)。
另外,需要说明的是,本公开的实施例中提供的移位寄存器单元10中采用的晶体管均是以N型晶体管为例进行说明的,本公开的实施例包括但不限于此,例如移位寄存器单元10中的至少部分晶体管也可以采用P型晶体管。
本公开的至少一个实施例还提供一种栅极驱动电路20,如图13所示,该栅极驱动电路20包括多个级联的移位寄存器单元10,其中任意一个或多个移位寄存器单元10可以采用本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器单元10的结构或其变型。图13中的A1、A2、A3和A4表示输入输出单元,例如这四个输入输出单元均可以采用图9中的电路结构。需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,移位寄存器单元10的级联均表示移位寄存器单元10中的输入输出单元之间进行级联,而不同的移位寄存器单元10中的消隐单元之间不进行级联。
例如,如图13所示,每个移位寄存器单元10包括两个输入输出单元,当该栅极驱动电路20用于驱动一显示面板时,每个输入输出单元的输出端可以分别和显示面板中的一行子像素单元电连接。例如,输入输出单元A1、A2、A3以及A4可以分别和第一行、第二行、第三行以及第四行子像素单元电连接。
需要说明的是,在图13所示的栅极驱动电路20中,移位寄存器单元10中的两个输入输出单元是相邻的,即用于驱动显示面板中相邻行的子像素单元。本公开的实施例包括但不限于此,例如其中一个移位寄存器单元10可以包括输入输出单元A1和输入输出单元A3,而另一个移位寄存器单元10包括输入输出单元A2和输入输出单元A4,即移位寄存器单元10中包括的两个输入输出单元可以是不相邻的。
例如,在另一些实施例中,如图14所示,移位寄存器单元10还可以包括四个输入输出单元(A1、A2、A3和A4),该四个输入输出单元分别通过第一传输电路210、第二传输电路220、第三传输电路230以及第四传输电路240和消隐单元100电连接。
本公开的实施例提供的栅极驱动电路可以共用消隐单元,从而使得采用该栅极驱动电路的显示装置可以减小边框尺寸,降低成本。
下面以图14所示的栅极驱动电路20为例,对栅极驱动电路20中的信号线进行说明。
如图14所示,栅极驱动电路20还包括第一子时钟信号线CLK_1、第二子时钟信号线CLK_2、第三子时钟信号线CLK_3和第四子时钟信号线CLK_4。第4n-3级输入输出单元和第一子时钟信号线CLK_1连接以接收第二时钟信号,例如,第4n-3级输入输出单元通过第二时钟信号端CLKB和第一子时钟信号线CLK_1连接;第4n-2级输入输出单元和第二子时钟信号线CLK_2连接以接收第二时钟信号,例如,第4n-2级输入输出单元通过第二时钟信号端CLKB和第二子时钟信号线CLK_2连接;第4n-1级输入输出单元和第三子时钟信号线CLK_3连接以接收第二时钟信号,例如,第4n-1级输入输出单元通过第二时钟信号端CLKB和第三子时钟信号线CLK_3连接;第4n级输入输出单元和第四子时钟信号线CLK_4连接以接收第二时钟信号,例如,第4n级输入输出单元通过第二时钟信号端CLKB和第四子时钟信号线CLK_4连接;n为大于零的整数。
如上所述,本公开的实施例提供的栅极驱动电路可以采用4CLK的时钟信号,这样可以使得该栅极驱动电路中相邻的输入输出单元输出的信号波形有交叠,从而例如,可以增加预充电时间。本公开的实施例对采用的时钟信号的类型不作限定,例如还可以采用6CLK、8CLK等时钟信号。
如图14所示,栅极驱动电路20还可以包括第八子时钟信号线CLK_8、 第九子时钟信号线CLK_9、第十子时钟信号线CLK_10和第十一子时钟信号线CLK_11。在输入输出单元和第三时钟信号端CLKC连接的情形下,第4n-3级输入输出单元和第八子时钟信号线CLK_8连接以接收第三时钟信号,例如,第4n-3级输入输出单元通过第三时钟信号端CLKC和第八子时钟信号线CLK_8连接;第4n-2级输入输出单元和第九子时钟信号线CLK_9连接以接收第三时钟信号,例如,第4n-2级输入输出单元通过第三时钟信号端CLKC和第九子时钟信号线CLK_9连接;第4n-1级输入输出单元和第十子时钟信号线CLK_10连接以接收第三时钟信号,例如,第4n-1级输入输出单元通过第三时钟信号端CLKC和第十子时钟信号线CLK_10连接;第4n级输入输出单元和第十一子时钟信号线CLK_11连接以接收第三时钟信号,例如,第4n级输入输出单元通过第三时钟信号端CLKC和第十一子时钟信号线CLK_11连接;n为大于零的整数。
如图14所示,栅极驱动电路20还可以包括第五子时钟信号线CLK_5、第六子时钟信号线CLK_6和第七子时钟信号线CLK_7。栅极驱动电路20中的每一个消隐单元100和第五子时钟信号线CLK_5连接以接收补偿选择控制信号,例如,栅极驱动电路20中的每一个消隐单元100通过补偿选择控制端OE和第五子时钟信号线CLK_5连接;每一级输入输出单元和第六子时钟信号线CLK_6连接以接收全局复位信号,例如,每一级输入输出单元通过全局复位信号端TRST和第六子时钟信号线CLK_6连接;每一级输入输出单元和第七子时钟信号线CLK_7连接以接收第一时钟信号,例如,每一级输入输出单元通过第一时钟信号端CLKA和第七子时钟信号端CLK_7连接。
如图14所示,各级输入输出单元的显示输入信号端STU2和前两级输入输出单元的移位信号输出端CR连接,各级输入输出单元的显示复位信号端STD和后三级输入输出单元的移位信号输出端CR连接。
需要说明的是,图14中所示的级联关系仅是一种示例,根据本公开的描述,还可以根据实际情况采用其它级联方式。
例如,在一些实施例中,图14所示的栅极驱动电路20中的输入输出单元采用图9中所示的电路结构,栅极驱动电路20中的消隐单元100采用图6中所示的电路结构,在这种情形下,图15示出了图14所示的栅极驱动电路20工作时的信号时序图。
在图15中,H<5>表示栅极驱动电路20中和第五级输入输出单元电连接的消隐单元100中的上拉控制节点H,Q<1>、Q<5>、Q<6>、Q<7>以及Q<8>分别表示栅极驱动电路20中第一级、第五级、第六级、第七级以及第八级输入输出单元中的上拉节点Q(即图9中所示的第一上拉节点Q1)。OUT<1>(CR<1>)、OUT<7>(CR<7>)和OUT<8>(CR<8>)分别表示栅极驱动电路20中的第一级、第七级以及第八级输入输出单元中的像素扫描信号输出端OUT(移位信号输出端CR),OUT2<7>和OUT2<8>分别表示栅极驱动电路20中的第七级和第八级输入输出单元中的像素扫描信号输出端OUT2。1F表示第一帧,DS表示第一帧中的显示时段,BL表示第一帧中的消隐时段。需要说明的是,图15中的STU2表示第一级输入输出单元中的显示输入信号端。
另外,需要说明的是,在图15中是以第三电压端VDD_A输入低电平而第四电压端VDD_B输入高电平为例进行示意的,但本公开的实施例不限于此。图15所示的信号时序图中的信号电平只是示意性的,不代表真实电平值。
下面结合图15中的信号时序图,对图14中所示的栅极驱动电路20的工作原理进行说明。
在第一帧1F开始前,第五子时钟信号线CLK_5和第六子时钟信号线CLK_6提供高电平,由于每一个消隐单元100的补偿选择控制端OE均和第五子时钟信号线CLK_5连接,所以使得每一个消隐单元100中的第一晶体管M1被导通,由于此时消隐输入信号端STU1接入的为低电平,从而可以对每一个消隐单元100中的上拉控制节点H进行复位;由于每一级输入输出单元的全局复位信号端TRST均和第六子时钟信号线CLK_6连接,所以使得每一级输入输出单元中的第十六晶体管M16导通,从而可以对每一级输入输出单元中的上拉节点Q进行复位。
由于第四电压端VDD_B输入高电平,第八晶体管M8被导通,使得下拉节点QB的电平被充电至高电平。下拉节点QB的高电平使得第十晶体管M10被导通,从而可以进一步将上拉节点Q的电平下拉至低电平。
在第一帧1F的显示时段DS中,对第一级输入输出单元的工作过程描述如下。
在第一阶段P1中,第一级输入输出单元的显示输入信号端STU2输入 高电平,第四晶体管M4被导通,所以第二电压端VDD输入的高电平可以通过第四晶体管M4对上拉节点Q<1>进行充电,从而使得上拉节点Q<1>的电平被上拉至高电平,并且上拉节点Q<1>的高电平可以被第二电容C2保持。第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6在上拉节点Q<1>的电平的控制下被导通,但由于第二时钟信号端CLKB(与第一子时钟信号线CLK1连接)在第一阶段P1输入低电平信号,所以移位信号输出端CR<1>和像素扫描信号输出端OUT<1>均输出该低电平信号。在第一阶段P1,完成对上拉节点Q<1>的预充电。
在第二阶段P2中,第二时钟信号端CLKB输入高电平信号,上拉节点Q<1>的电平由于自举效应而进一步被拉高,所以第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6保持导通状态,从而移位信号输出端CR<1>和像素扫描信号输出端OUT<1>均输出该高电平信号。例如,从移位信号输出端CR<1>输出的高电平信号可以用于上下级移位寄存器单元(输入输出单元)的扫描移位,而从像素扫描信号输出端OUT<1>输出的高电平信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的子像素单元进行显示。
在第三阶段P3中,第二时钟信号端CLKB输入低电平信号,由于此时上拉节点Q<1>保持高电平,所以第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6继续保持导通状态,从而使得移位信号输出端CR<1>和像素扫描信号输出端OUT<1>均输出该低电平信号。由于第二电容C2的自举作用,所以上拉节点Q<1>的电平也会下降。
在第四阶段P4中,由于第一级输入输出单元的显示复位信号端STD和第四级输入输出单元的移位信号输出端连接,此时第四级输入输出单元的移位信号输出端输出高电平,所以第一极输入输出单元的显示复位信号端STD输入高电平,第十五晶体管M15被导通,上拉节点Q<1>的电平被下拉至低电平,从而完成对上拉节点Q<1>的复位。由于上拉节点Q<1>的电平为低电平,第九晶体管M9被截止,同时第四电压端VDD_B输入的高电平可以对下拉节点QB进行充电,下拉节点QB被充电至高电平,从而使得第十晶体管M10被导通,从而可以进一步对上拉节点Q<1>的电平进行复位。同时第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12也被导通,从而可以对移位信号输出端CR<1>的电平和像素扫描信号输出端OUT<1>的电平进一步下拉复位。
第一级输入输出单元驱动显示面板中的第一行子像素完成显示后,依次 类推,第二级、第三级等输入输出单元逐行驱动显示面板中的子像素单元完成一帧的显示驱动。至此,第一帧1F的显示时段DS结束。
同时在第一帧1F的显示时段DS中还对上拉控制节点H进行充电,例如,当第一帧1F中需要对第七行子像素单元进行补偿时,则在第一帧1F的显示时段DS中还进行如下操作。
在第五阶段P5中,使得第五子时钟信号线CLK_5提供和第五级输入输出单元的移位信号输出端相同的信号,则当第五级输入输出单元的移位信号输出端输出高电平时,消隐单元100的补偿选择控制端OE输入高电平,第一晶体管M1被导通(如图6所示);同时可以使消隐输入信号端STU1和第五级输入输出单元的移位信号输出端连接,从而使得消隐输入信号端STU1输入的高电平对上拉控制节点H<5>进行充电,从而将上拉控制节点H<5>的电平上拉至高电平。
需要说明的是,上述对上拉控制节点H<5>的充电过程仅是一种示例,本公开的实施例包括但不限于此。例如,消隐单元100的消隐输入信号端STU1还可以和第三级或第四级输入输出单元的移位信号输出端连接,同时使得提供至第五子时钟信号线CLK_5的信号和提供至消隐输入信号端STU1的信号时序相同即可。
上拉控制节点H<5>的高电平可以一直保持到第一帧1F的消隐时段BL中。当第一帧1F中需要对第七行子像素单元进行补偿时,则在第一帧1F的消隐时段BL中进行如下操作。
在第六阶段P6中,第七子时钟信号线CLK_7提供高电平,由于第一时钟信号端CLKA和第七子时钟信号线CLK_7连接,所以在此阶段第一时钟信号为高电平,所以图14中的四个传输电路均导通,从而高电平的第二电压可以同时对上拉节点Q<5>、Q<6>、Q<7>以及Q<8>进行充电,以将上拉节点Q<5>、Q<6>、Q<7>以及Q<8>的电平上拉至高电平。
需要说明的是,在第六阶段中,也可以仅使得和第七级输入输出单元的传输电路导通,从而仅将上拉节点Q<7>的电平上拉至高电平。
在第七阶段P7中,第七级输入输出单元中的第二时钟信号端CLKB(与第三子时钟信号线CLK_3连接)输入高电平信号,上拉节点Q<7>的电平由于自举作用而进一步被拉高,第七级输入输出单元中的第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6被导通,第七级输入输出单元中的第二时钟信号端CLKB输入 的高电平信号可以输出至移位信号输出端CR<7>和像素扫描信号输出端OUT<7>。例如,像素扫描信号输出端OUT<7>输出的信号可以用于驱动显示面板中的子像素单元中的感测晶体管,以实现外部补偿。同时第三时钟信号端CLKC输入的信号可以输出至像素扫描信号输出端OUT2<7>,如图15所示,OUT2<7>的信号可以和OUT<7>不同,从而可以提高栅极驱动电路的驱动能力,满足多样化的需求。
在第八阶段P8中,第七级输入输出单元中的第二时钟信号端CLKB(与第三子时钟信号线CLK_3连接)输入的信号的电平从高电平变为低电平,上拉节点Q<7>的电平由于自举作用而被下拉。
在第九阶段P9中,第五子时钟信号线CLK_5和第六子时钟信号线CLK_6提供高电平,由于每一个消隐单元100的补偿选择控制端OE均和第五子时钟信号线CLK_5连接,每一级输入输出单元的全局复位信号端TRST均和第六子时钟信号线CLK_6连接,所以可以对每一个消隐单元100中的上拉控制节点H的电平以及每一级输入输出单元中的上拉节点Q的电平进行复位。
至此,第一帧的驱动时序结束。后续在第二帧、第三帧等更多阶段中对栅极驱动电路的驱动可以参考上述描述,这里不再赘述。
需要说明是,在上述对随机补偿的工作原理进行描述时,是以第一帧的消隐时段输出对应于显示面板的第七行子像素单元的驱动信号为例进行说明的,本公开对此不作限定。例如,当在某一帧的消隐时段中需要输出对应于显示面板的第n行子像素单元的驱动信号时,则需要在该帧的消隐时段中将第n级输入输出单元中的上拉节点Q的电平上拉至高电平,同时在该帧的消隐时段中,通过第n级输入输出单元中的第二时钟信号端CLKB或第三时钟信号端CLKC输入高电平信号,n为大于零的整数。
另外,在本公开的实施例中,两个信号时序相同指的是位于高电平的时间同步,而不要求两个信号的幅值相同。

例如,该显示装置1还可以包括数据驱动电路30,该数据驱动电路30用于提供数据信号至像素阵列。例如,数据驱动电路30通过数据线DL与子像素单元410电连接。

步骤S100:在显示时段,使得消隐单元响应于补偿选择控制信号对上拉控制节点进行充电;
步骤S200:在消隐时段,使得第一传输电路响应于第一传输信号利用消隐上拉信号对第一上拉节点进行充电,以及使得第二传输电路响应于第二传输信号利用消隐上拉信号对第二上拉节点进行充电。
在另一些实施例提供的驱动方法中,第一传输信号和第二传输信号的时序相同。
需要说明的是,关于本公开的实施例提供的驱动方法的详细描述和技术效果可以参考本公开的实施例中对于移位寄存器单元10和栅极驱动电路20的工作原理的描述,这里不再赘述。
