Description

GOA电路及显示装置 技术领域
本发明涉及显示领域,特别是有涉及一种可用于液晶显示技术的GOA电路及显示装置。
背景技术
目前,液晶显示装置(Liquid Crystal Display)已广泛应用于各种电子产品,在液晶显示装置中的一个重要组成部分是GOA(Gate Driver on Array)电路,GOA电路主要利用薄膜晶体管(TFT)液晶显示器的Array制程,将栅极(Gate)行扫描驱动信号电路制作于在Array基板上,以实现对像素晶体管的栅极逐行扫描的驱动方式。
在显示面板技术中,基于低温多晶硅(LTPS)的技术根据面板内采用的薄膜晶体管类型,可区分为NMOS型、PMOS型以及含有NMOS和PMOS的CMOS型。类似地,GOA电路也可区分为NMOS电路、PMOS电路及CMOS电路。其中,由于NMOS电路与CMOS电路相比可省去P型掺杂的光罩及工序,对于提高良率及降低成本皆有助益,所以开发稳定的NMOS电路具有产业需求性。
但是,由于NMOS型TFT的载流子为电子,电子的迁移率较高于空穴,因此,NMOS元件比PMOS元件(载流子为空穴)容易损伤,表现在面板上就是产品的高温信赖度不足,容易出现GOA电路失效,使面板出现分屏现象,尤其是In-cell Touch Panel(ITP),在TP暂停级更容易出现分屏现象,这是因为TFT并非理想开关器件,即使在关态(OFF)情况下,依然会存在一定的漏电流,如TP暂停级需要维持高电位的时间较长,将会降低GOA的级传稳定性。以往虽有GOA电路阻绝电泄途径而试图解决上述问题,但仍有待改善。
有鉴于此,有必要提供一种新的GOA电路及显示装置,以解决现有技术所存在的问题。
技术问题
本发明的一目的在于提供一种GOA电路,可避免晶体管的漏电流造成GOA电路失效,以提高级传稳定性。
本发明的另一目的在于提供一种显示装置,可提高GOA电路的级传稳定性,以提高产品信赖度。

以下举例说明上述GOA电路运作时的态样,以ITP的面板为例,需要在一帧画面的显示时间内插入若干个触控期(TP Term),在所述显示时间内,可经由所述正扫控端U2D及负扫控端D2U输入的信号控制逐行扫描顺序,配合所述第(n-2)级扫描端G(n-2)、第(n+2)级扫描端G(n+2)、第(n+1)级时钟端CK(n+1)、第n级时钟端CK(n)、第(n-1)级时钟端CK(n-1)、可控端GAS2、高位端VGH及低位端VGL输入工作所需的信号,可于所述第n级扫描端G(n)输出第n级扫描信号,用于逐行扫描;在所述触控期内,所述第一节点Q可以维持电路运作所需的电位,以确保电路工作正常。以下特别说明所述GOA电路设有所述上拉补充模块3所能达成的特点。
首先,观察还未设置所述上拉补充模块的GOA电路(如图3所示),其中GAS1信号(位于第十一开关管T11栅极的信号)在正常工作情况为常态低电位(Low),所述可控端GAS2在触控期由常态显示(Normal Display)时的常态低电位(Low)跳变为高电位(High)。通常,当前ITP的面板需要在一帧画面显示时间内插入若干个TP Term,用于实现Touch功能,此时,NMOS的GOA电路须通过第一储能件25维持(Holding)级传(cascaded)所需要的高电位(High),但是,由于NMOS TFT并不是理想开关器件,即使在关闭状态(OFF)的情况下,依然会存在一定的漏电流(leakage current),如TP Term持续时间较长,则TP暂停级需要维持高电位的时间就会很长,所述漏电流将会降低GOA的级传稳定性。
另一方面,在GOA电路设置上述上拉补充模块3后,以第一实施例为例,如图1所示,所述漏路开关管4的第一端电性连接所述辅助开关管Tb的第一端,当第一节点Q处于高电位(High)的级传Holding状态时,尤其是处于TP Term的Holding状态时,所述漏路开关管4是关态(OFF),所述漏路开关管4虽会存在一定的漏电流(由第一节点Q到低位端VGL),以使第一节点Q降低电位,但需注意的是,此时,所述补充开关管Ta也是处于关闭状态,也会存在一定的漏电流(由高位端VGH到第一节点Q),以使第一节点Q提高电位,因而减缓所述漏路开关管4漏电对所述第一节点Q电位的影响,进而增大电路在TP Term的边际范围(Margin),使电路正常工作,提高电路可靠度。
此外,所述辅助开关管Tb工作为常开型TFT,但是即使是开态(ON),TFT的电阻也可以达到兆欧级别,能够辅助所述漏路开关管4的漏电流部分地降低。另外,如图1所示,所述辅助开关管Tb左侧的电位理论上要稍高于右边,所述辅助开关管Tb左侧电压,又是所述补充开关管Ta的控制端(栅极)电压,有利于所述补充开关管Ta往所述第一节点Q漏电,使所述第一节点Q维持高电位,以确保电路正常工作。
需被注意的是,所述漏路开关管4虽仍存在漏电流而会降低第一节点Q电位,但是,本发明与现有技术的GOA电路阻绝电泄途径方式不同的是,所述漏路开关管4的电泄途径并未被阻绝,替代地,所述上拉补充模块3利用所述补充开关管Ta的漏电流特性,对第一储能件25即时性地补充电能,以减缓所述漏路开关管4漏电的影响,进而大致地维持第一节点Q的电位,以确保电路工作正常,避免显示装置的面板出现分屏现象。
此外,如图2所示,本发明第二实施例的GOA电路也设有上述上拉补充模块3(如所述漏路开关管4的第一端电性连接所述辅助开关管Tb的第二端),相较于第一实施例,此实施例的好处在于更有利于级传的进行,在进行级传时,所述第一开关管T1可以迅速的提升所述第六开关管T6的控制端(栅极)的电压,进而迅速关闭所述漏路开关管4,完成级传的功能,相应的对所述第一开关管T1的控制端(栅极)的电位要求会比第一实施例低一些,使得GOA电路即使经历TP term仍然保持正常的功能,避免显示装置的面板出现分屏现象。
应被理解的是,上述GOA电路的驱动架构可以采用交错式(Interlace)或者双驱式;所述GOA电路的相阶(Phase)数可以使用4CK,也可以是6CK或8CK。以4CK为例,以两个GOA电路为一个循环,可以采用两个相同的上述GOA电路作为一第一GOA电路及一第二GOA电路,并将四个时钟信号(CK1、CK2、CK3、CK4)输入到所述GOA电路及一第二GOA电路。例如:如图1及图2所示,可将CK1输入到所述第一GOA电路的所述第n级时钟端CK(n),另将CK2、CK4分别输入到所述第一GOA电路及所述第二GOA电路的所述第(n+1)级时钟端CK(n+1)、所述第(n-1)级时钟端CK(n-1),另将CK3输入到所述第二GOA电路的所述第n级时钟端CK(n),这是本领域技术人员可以理解的,不再赘述于此。
本发明的另一方面提供一种显示装置,包括一阵列基板及如上所述的GOA电路,所述GOA电路设置于所述阵列基板上。所述显示装置可以被配置成以下项目中的其中一种:液晶面板、电子纸、OLED面板、手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相机、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件,所述显示装置能与上述GOA电路解决同样的问题及产生同样的效果。
本发明已由上述相关实施例加以描述,然而上述实施例仅为实施本发明的范例。必需指出的是,已公开的实施例并未限制本发明的范围。相反地,包含于权利要求书的精神及范围的修改及均等设置均包括于本发明的范围内。
