Abstract

A level shifter and a signal conversion method. The level shifter comprises a clock signal output unit (10), an inverter (20), a single-pole double-throw switch (K) and a start signal output unit. When working, an input start signal (STV) is used to pull up the potential of an output start signal (STVOUT), so that when a rising edge of the input start signal (STV) arrives, a rising edge of the output start signal (STVOUT) arrives. An (N/2)th (N is a positive even number) output clock signal (CLKOUT-N/2) is used to pull down the potential of the output start signal (STVOUT), so that when a rising edge of the (N/2)th output clock signal (CLKOUT-N/2) arrives, a falling edge of the output start signal (STVOUT) arrives. The present invention enables the high-level width of the output start signal (STVOUT) to meet timing requirements, and may guarantee the normal operation of a GOA circuit when applied to the GOA circuit.

Description

电平转换模块及信号转换方法Level conversion module and signal conversion method 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种电平转换模块及信号转换方法。The invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a level conversion module and a signal conversion method.
背景技术Background technique
随着显示技术的发展,液晶显示装置(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)等平面显示装置因具有高画质、省电、机身薄及应用范围广等优点,而被广泛地应用于手机、电视、个人数字助理、数字相机、笔记本电脑、台式计算机等各种消费性电子产品,成为显示装置中的主流。With the development of display technology, liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD) and other flat display devices are widely used in mobile phones, TVs, etc. due to their advantages of high image quality, power saving, thin body and wide range of applications. Various consumer electronic products such as personal digital assistants, digital cameras, notebook computers, and desktop computers have become the mainstream in display devices.
主动式液晶显示装置中,每个像素电性连接一个薄膜晶体管(TFT),薄膜晶体管的栅极(Gate)连接至水平扫描线,源极(Source)连接至垂直方向的数据线,漏极(Drain)则连接至像素电极。在水平扫描线上施加足够的电压,会使得电性连接至该条水平扫描线上的所有TFT打开,从而数据线上的信号电压能够写入像素,控制液晶的不同透光度进而达到控制色彩与亮度的效果。In an active liquid crystal display device, each pixel is electrically connected to a thin film transistor (TFT), the gate of the thin film transistor is connected to the horizontal scanning line, and the source is connected to the vertical data line and the drain ( Drain) is connected to the pixel electrode. Applying sufficient voltage on the horizontal scanning line will turn on all the TFTs electrically connected to the horizontal scanning line, so that the signal voltage on the data line can be written to the pixels, control the different transmittance of the liquid crystal and thus control the color With brightness effect.
目前主动式液晶显示面板水平扫描线的驱动主要由外接的集成电路板(Integrated Circuit,IC)来完成,外接的IC可以控制各级水平扫描线的逐级充电和放电。而GOA技术(Gate Driver on Array)即阵列基板行驱动技术,是可以运用液晶显示面板的阵列制程将栅极驱动电路制作在TFT阵列基板上,实现对栅极逐行扫描的驱动方式。GOA电路中一般需要接入若干时钟信号及起始信号,以实现其栅极逐行扫描的功能。现有技术中,通常利用时序控制器(Tcon)输出原始时钟信号及原始起始信号并传输至电平转换模块 (level shifter),由电平转换模块进行升压产生输出时钟信号及输出起始信号并输出至液晶显示面板的GOA电路中。At present, the driving of the horizontal scanning lines of the active liquid crystal display panel is mainly completed by an external integrated circuit (Integrated Circuit, IC). The external IC can control the charging and discharging of the horizontal scanning lines at all levels. The GOA technology (Gate Driver on Array) is the array substrate row driving technology, which can use the array manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display panel to make the gate driving circuit on the TFT array substrate to realize the progressive scanning of the gate. The GOA circuit generally needs to access several clock signals and start signals in order to realize the function of progressive scanning of its gate. In the prior art, a timing controller (Tcon) is usually used to output an original clock signal and an original start signal and transmit it to a level shifter, and the level shifter performs boosting to generate an output clock signal and an output start The signal is output to the GOA circuit of the liquid crystal display panel.
目前的电平转换单元输出的输出起始信号的上升沿之后经预设的时长开始依次输出多个输出时钟信号,并且一般需要满足输出起始信号的下降沿与第n/2个输出时钟信号的上升沿同时发生,n为正偶数。请参阅图1,以四条输出时钟信号为例,输出起始信号STVout的上升沿后经过1/2倍的输出起始信号STVout的高电平时长后第一输出时钟信号CLKout1、第二输出时钟信号CLKout2、第三输出时钟信号CLKout3及第四输出时钟信号CLKout4的第一个上升沿依次产生,第一输出时钟信号CLKout1、第二输出时钟信号CLKout2、第三输出时钟信号CLKout3及第四输出时钟信号CLKout4的第一个上升沿之间相差1/2倍的输出起始信号STVout的高电平时长,在第二输出时钟信号CLKout2的第一个上升沿到来时输出起始信号STVout的下降沿到来。由于电平转换模块所输出的输出起始信号的宽度跟随时序控制器传输的原始起始信号的宽度,当需要提供数量较多的输出时钟信号时,原始起始信号存在宽度严重不足的情况,导致输出起始信号的宽度严重不足,无法满足其下降沿与第N/2个输出时钟信号的上升沿同时发生,会导致GOA失效,出现信赖性的问题。After the rising edge of the output start signal output by the current level conversion unit starts to output multiple output clock signals in sequence after a preset duration, and generally needs to satisfy the falling edge of the output start signal and the n/2th output clock signal The rising edges occur simultaneously, n is a positive even number. Please refer to FIG. 1, taking four output clock signals as an example, the first output clock signal CLKout1, the second output clock after the rising edge of the output start signal STVout passes 1/2 times the high level duration of the output start signal STVout The first rising edge of the signal CLKout2, the third output clock signal CLKout3 and the fourth output clock signal CLKout4 are generated in sequence, the first output clock signal CLKout1, the second output clock signal CLKout2, the third output clock signal CLKout3 and the fourth output clock The first rising edge of the signal CLKout4 differs by 1/2 times the high-level duration of the output start signal STVout, and the falling edge of the output start signal STVout when the first rising edge of the second output clock signal CLKout2 arrives arrival. Since the width of the output start signal output by the level conversion module follows the width of the original start signal transmitted by the timing controller, when a large number of output clock signals need to be provided, the original start signal has a serious shortage of width. As a result, the width of the output start signal is seriously insufficient, and the falling edge of the output signal cannot be satisfied to occur at the same time as the rising edge of the N/2th output clock signal, which will cause the GOA to fail and cause reliability problems.
