具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本公开一些实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开所提供的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非上下文另有要求,否则,在整个说明书和权利要求书中,术语“包 括(comprise)”及其其他形式例如第三人称单数形式“包括(comprises)”和现在分词形式“包括(comprising)”被解释为开放、包含的意思,即为“包含,但不限于”。在说明书的描述中,术语“一个实施例(one embodiment)”、“一些实施例(some embodiments)”、“示例性实施例(exemplary embodiments)”、“示例(example)”、“特定示例(specific example)”或“一些示例(some examples)”等旨在表明与该实施例或示例相关的特定特征、结构、材料或特性包括在本公开的至少一个实施例或示例中。上述术语的示意性表示不一定是指同一实施例或示例。此外,所述的特定特征、结构、材料或特点可以以任何适当方式包括在任何一个或多个实施例或示例中。

本公开实施例提供一种显示装置,该显示装置可以为电视、手机、台式电脑、笔记本电脑、平板电脑、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、车载电脑等。本公开实施例对上述显示装置的具体形式不做特殊限定。附图1以显示装置为手机为例进行示意。
本公开实施例提供的显示装置至少包括显示面板。该显示面板包括阵列基板、栅极驱动电路、源极驱动电路、时序控制电路(TCON)、印刷电路版(Printed Circuit Board,PCB)、柔性电路板(Flexible Printed Circuit Board,FPC)以及其他电子配件等。
上述显示面板可以为有机发光二极管(Organic Light Emitting Diode,OLED)显示面板、量子点发光二极管(Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes,QLED)显示面板或微发光二极管(Micro Light Emitting Diodes,Micro LED)显示面板等,本公开对此不做具体限定。
OLED显示面板因其具有自发光、轻薄、功耗低、高对比度、高色域、可实现柔性显示等优点,受到广泛的关注,OLED显示面板也被誉为新一代显示技术。为了方便说明,本公开以下实施例均是以上述显示面板为OLED显示面板为例,对本公开进行说明。
图2为本公开的一些实施例提供的一种显示面板的结构图。参考图2,该显示面板001包括:显示区(active area,称为AA区;也可称为有效显示区)1和位于显示区1外侧的周边区2。附图2以周边区2围绕显示区1设置一圈为例进行示意。
参考图2所示,上述显示面板001中设置有多条栅线(Gate Line)GL和多条数据线(Data Line)DL,并且多条栅线GL和多条数据线DL在显示区1交叉界定出多个亚像素(sub pixel)P。
上述位于显示区1的多个亚像素P至少包括:第一颜色亚像素、第二颜色亚像素和第三颜色亚像素。其中,第一颜色、第二颜色和第三颜色为三基色(例如红色、绿色和蓝色)。
为了方便说明,本申请中,上述多个亚像素P是以矩阵形式排列为例进行的说明。在此情况下,栅线GL沿水平方向X延伸,数据线DL沿竖直方向Y延伸;并将沿水平方向X排列成一排的亚像素P称为同一行亚像素;将沿竖直方向Y排列成一排的亚像素P称为同一列亚像素。
另外,如图2所示,每个亚像素P中均设置有像素电路S(也可称为像素驱动电路),该像素电路S包括驱动单元和发光单元。
上述驱动单元包括晶体管和电容,图2中仅是示意的以该像素电路S中的驱动单元为2T1C(即包括一个驱动晶体管Md、一个开关晶体管Ms和一个存储电容Cst)结构为例说明的,但本公开并不限制于此,在一些实施例中驱动单元还可以采用3T1C、4T1C等电路结构。
上述发光单元包括有机发光二极管OLED。参考图3所示,OLED包括阴极11和阳极12,以及位于阴极11和阳极12之间的发光功能层13。其中,发光功能层13可以包括有机发光层(Emission layer,EML),还可以包括位于有机发光层EML和阳极12之间的空穴传输层(Hole Transport Layer,HTL)和/或位于有机发光层EML和阴极11之间的电子传输层(Electron Transport Layer,ETL)。当然,根据需要,在一些实施例中,还可以在空穴传输层HTL和阳极12之间设置空穴注入层(Hole Injection Layer,HIL),和/或,在电子传输层ETL和阴极11之间设置电子注入层(Electron Injection Layer,EIL)等,本公开对此不做限定。
在显示时,通过控制施加在阴极11和阳极12上的电压,利用阳极12注入空穴,阴极11注入电子,所形成的电子和空穴在有机发光层EML相遇而产生激子,从而激发有机发光层EML发光;通过亚像素P的像素电路S中的驱动子电路控制阴极11和阳极12形成的电流通路中驱动电流的大小,进而使得有机发光层EML的发光亮度不同,以实现不同的灰阶显示。
在此基础上,如图2所示,显示面板001在周边区2还设置有与驱动信号线如栅线GL连接的栅极驱动电路(也可以称为GOA电路) 10(本公开实施例附图均以栅线GL与栅极驱动电路10连接为例示意),以及与数据线DL连接的数据驱动电路20。上述驱动信号线例如可以为栅线或发光控制线。
在一些实施例中,上述栅极驱动电路10可以设置在沿栅线GL的延伸方向上的周边区2,数据驱动电路20可以设置在沿数据线DL的延伸方向上的周边区2。通过栅极驱动电路10逐行开启像素电路S,并在一行像素电路S开启时,通过数据驱动电路20将像素数据电压写入至该行的各像素电路S中,以进行画面显示。
本公开的实施例中,为了窄化显示装置的边框宽度,降低制作成本,将上述栅极驱动电路10直接集成在显示面板001中的阵列基板上。
由于显示面板001中的阵列基板的结构图,与图2中示出的显示面板001的结构图基本一致(但不代表两者的结构相同),以下结合图2,对本公开中的阵列基板100以及位于阵列基板100的衬底基板上的GOA电路10的设置做进一步的说明。
对于本公开实施例提供的异型显示面板001(也可以是显示装置或阵列基板)而言,如图2所示,显示区1包括两条大致平行的第一侧边L1和两条大致平行的第二侧边L2,第一侧边L1和第二侧边L2大致垂直,且每条第一侧边L的至少一端通过圆弧边R(也可以称为圆角、倒圆角或R角)与第二侧边L2连接。也即本公开中显示面板001的显示区1至少设置有两个R角。
在一些实施例中,显示区1可以包括多个R角。
示例的,如图2所示,在一些实施例中,显示区1可以包括两条大致平行的第一侧边(L1和L1’),以及两条大致平行的第二侧边(L2和L2’),第一侧边L1和第二侧边L2大致垂直,每条第一侧边(L1和L1’)的两端与两条第二侧边(L2和L2’)分别通过R角连接。在此情况下,显示区1包括4个R角。
示例的,在另一些实施例中,显示区1可以包括两条大致平行的第一侧边(L1和L1’),以及两条大致平行的第二侧边(L2和L2’),第一侧边L1和第二侧边L2大致垂直,两条第一侧边(L1和L1’)与一条第二侧边(L2)分别通过R角连接。在此情况下,显示区1包括2个R角。
以下实施例均是以图2中示出的显示区1包括4个R角为例,对 本公开作进一步的说明。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,阵列基板100在显示区1位于栅线GL延伸方向上两侧的周边区2分别设置有GOA电路10。当然,在一些实施例中,也可以仅在显示区1位于沿栅线GL延伸方向上的一侧的周边区2设置GOA电路。
在此情况下,对于设置于阵列基板100的衬底基板上的单个GOA电路10而言,如图4A、图4B和图4C(图4A、图4B和图4C为图2中A1区域的局部放大图)所示,该GOA电路10包括:沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元以及沿与该圆弧边R连接的一条第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101;多个GOA单元包括至少一个有效GOA单元101和至少一个虚拟GOA单元102;每个有效GOA单元101被配置为给至少一个亚像素P提供驱动信号(即,扫描信号或发光控制信号),至少一个虚拟GOA单元102为多个GOA单元中除有效GOA单元101以外的GOA单元。
其中,沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中相邻两个GOA单元之间的间距和沿与该圆弧边R连接的一条第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101中相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间的间距大致相同。
需要说明的是,对于沿圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中有效GOA单元101和虚拟GOA单元102的数量不进行限定,可以根据周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处的空间大小选择设置的有效GOA单元101和虚拟GOA单元102的数量。
此处,虚拟GOA单元102可以给位于周边区2的至少一个虚拟亚像素提供驱动信号,当然,虚拟GOA单元102也可以不输出信号,即不给任何亚像素P提供信号。
在此基础上,对于沿圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中有效GOA单元101和虚拟GOA单元102的分布方式不做限定。以下提供两种具体的示例。本公开实施例包括但不限于以下两种示例。
示例一
如图4A和图4B所示,沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间设置至少一个虚拟GOA单元102。
此处,相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间可以设置一个虚拟GOA单元102;相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间也可以设置两个或两个以上虚拟GOA单元102,对此不做限定。可以根据相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间的间距选择设置的虚拟GOA单元102的数量。附图4A和图4B均以相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间设置一个虚拟GOA单元102为例进行示意。
此外,沿圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中位于两端的GOA单元可以如图4A所示均是有效GOA单元101;也可以如图4B所示均是虚拟GOA单元102;当然还可以是沿圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中的一端是有效GOA单元101,另一端是虚拟GOA单元102。
示例二
如图4C所示,沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中任一个有效GOA单元101相对于所有的虚拟GOA单元102靠近沿第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101。
此处,在沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元包括多个有效GOA单元101的情况下,多个有效GOA单元101连续设置(即相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间不设置虚拟GOA单元102),且多个有效GOA单元101相对于沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中的虚拟GOA单元102靠近沿第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101。在沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元包括多个虚拟GOA单元102的情况下,多个虚拟GOA单元102连续设置(即相邻两个虚拟GOA单元102之间不设置有效GOA单元101),多个虚拟GOA单元102相对于沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中的有效GOA单元101远离沿第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101。
本公开实施例中,由于有效GOA单元101被配置为给位于显示区1的亚像素P提供驱动信号,因而有效GOA单元101与显示区1的亚像素P之间需要设置信号线,而若沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中任一个有效GOA单元101相对于所有的虚拟GOA单元102靠近沿第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101,则可以减小信号线的长度,有利于布置走线。
对于上述显示面板1,由于显示区1的每条第一侧边L的至少一端 通过圆弧边R与第二侧边L2连接,因而周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处的空间会较大。相关技术中的GOA电路在设计时,GOA电路10包括沿一条第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101,若每相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间的间距大致相同,则周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处(即图5虚线圈所标示的位置)会空出的较大的空白区域(即不设置任何走线或器件)。这样一来,在构图过程中,刻蚀液在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处和周边区2中除靠近圆弧边R以外的其它位置处的浓度会明显不同,从而导致周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处的刻蚀均一性不好,例如周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处会出现过刻等问题,进而导致在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处设置的有效GOA电路101的电性能差(即电学稳定性差)。
为了解决上述问题,相关技术在改进GOA电路10的设计时,如图5所示,GOA电路10包括沿一条第一侧边L1和与其连接的至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101,在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处设置的相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间的间距a大于周边区2中除靠近圆弧边R以外的其它位置处设置的相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间的间距b。这样有效GOA单元101会占据周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处的部分空间,减小空白区域的面积,从而可以改善周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处的刻蚀均一性不好以及在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处设置的有效GOA电路101的电性能差的问题。
然而,由于在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处设置的相邻有效GOA单元101之间的间距a和在周边区2中除靠近圆弧边R以外的其它位置处设置的相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间的间距b不同,从而在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处设置的相邻有效GOA单元101之间的空白区域和在周边区2中除靠近圆弧边R以外的其它位置处设置的相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间的空白区域的大小就会不同,因而还是会存在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处刻蚀均一性不好以及在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处设置的有效GOA电路101的电性能差的问题。
本公开实施例提供一种阵列基板100,阵列基板100中的GOA电路10包括:沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元以及沿与 该圆弧边R连接的一条第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101;多个GOA单元包括至少一个有效GOA单元101和至少一个虚拟GOA单元102;沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中相邻两个GOA单元之间的间距和沿与该圆弧边R连接的一条第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101中相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间的间距大致相同。由于本公开实施例提供的GOA电路10不仅包括有效GOA单元101,还包括虚拟GOA单元102,而虚拟GOA单元102会占据周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处的部分空间,从而可以减小空白区域的面积。此外,由于沿至少一条圆弧边R依次分布的多个GOA单元中相邻两个GOA单元之间的间距和沿与该圆弧边R连接的一条第一侧边L1依次分布的多个有效GOA单元101中相邻两个有效GOA单元101之间的间距大致相同,因而任意相邻GOA单元101之间的空白区域的大小大致相同,这样一来,避免了周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置刻蚀均一性不好的问题,且避免了在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处设置的有效GOA电路101的电性能差的问题。
可以理解的是,无论对于有效GOA单元101,还是虚拟GOA单元102,其均主要由晶体管构成。对于有效GOA单元101和虚拟GOA单元102的具体设置不进行限定,以下提供几种可能的实现方式。
在第一种可能的实现方式中,有效GOA单元101中包括多个晶体管,至少一个虚拟GOA单元102包括多个晶体管;至少一个虚拟GOA单元102中晶体管的数量少于有效GOA单元101中晶体管的数量。
此处,可以是一个虚拟GOA单元102中晶体管的数量少于有效GOA单元101中晶体管的数量;也可以是多个虚拟GOA单元102中的部分虚拟GOA单元102中的每个虚拟GOA单元102中晶体管的数量少于有效GOA单元101中晶体管的数量;当然还可以是,多个虚拟GOA单元102中的每个虚拟GOA单元102中晶体管的数量均少于有效GOA单元101中晶体管的数量,对此不做限定。
综上所述,本公开中,通过设置至少一个虚拟GOA单元102中晶体管的数量少于有效GOA单元102中晶体管的数量,也就是说,相比于有效GOA单元101,本公开中通过减小至少一个虚拟GOA单元102中晶体管的数量,从而能够释放周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处的部分布图空间,因而有利于在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处设置 走线,避免了因空间较小导致的在周边区2中靠近圆弧边R的位置处设置的走线出现短路等问题。
以下对于上述至少一个虚拟GOA单元102中晶体管的数量少于有效GOA单元101中晶体管的数量的具体设置情况做进一步的说明。
在一些实施例中,如图6和图7所示,每个GOA单元所占区域包括:第一区域a1和第二区域a2;有效GOA单元101包括设置在有效GOA单元101的第一区域a1的第一子电路和设置于有效GOA单元102的第二区域a2的第二子电路,第一子电路包括多个晶体管,第二子电路包括至少一个晶体管;至少一个虚拟GOA单元102包括设置在每个虚拟GOA单元102的第一区域a1的第一子电路,且不包含第二子电路(即至少一个虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2不设置晶体管),虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2位于虚拟GOA单元102所占区域中的靠近周边区2的外边缘的一半区域。
需要说明的是,附图6和图7中的中心线M将虚拟GOA单元102所占区域分成面积相等的两个区域,中心线M以左为虚拟GOA单元102所占区域的一半区域,中心线M以右为虚拟GOA单元102所占区域的一半区域。附图6和图7中除标示的第二区域a2以外的其它区域都为第一区域a1。
此处,周边区2包括两个边缘,一个内边缘,一个外边缘。其中,内边缘与显示区2的边缘重叠。
基于上述可知,由于至少一个虚拟GOA单元102不包含第二子电路,因此至少一个虚拟GOA单元102相对于有效GOA单元101而言,去除了第二子电路包括的晶体管。
应当理解到,设置在有效GOA单元101的第一区域a1的第一子电路与设置在虚拟GOA单元102的第一区域a1的第一子电路的电路结构相同。
例如,参考图10所示,虚拟GOA单元102的第一区域a1设置的晶体管(晶体管M3~晶体管M7)的结构和连接关系,与有效GOA单元101的第一区域a1的设置的晶体管(晶体管M3~晶体管M7)的结构和连接关系相一致。
由于阵列基板100上的多条走线通常会经过GOA单元靠近周边区2的边缘的一侧,因而本公开实施例中,虚拟GOA单元102的第二区 域a2位于虚拟GOA单元102所占区域中的靠近周边区2的外边缘的一半区域,通过去除第二子电路,即去除虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域中的晶体管,因而可以释放周边区2中靠近周边区2外边缘的部分空间,从而有利于设置走线。
在此基础上,对于上述虚拟GOA单元102中第一区域a1的设置位置不进行限定。可以是如图6所示,上述虚拟GOA单元102中第一区域a1的至少部分也靠近周边区2的外边缘,即第一子电路中的至少部分晶体管靠近周边区2的外边缘。当然还可以是如图7所示,虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2相比于第一区域a1靠近周边区2的外边缘。
由于虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2不包括第二子电路,在虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2相比于第一区域a1靠近周边区2的外边缘的情况下,因此虚拟GOA单元102所占的区域中靠近周边区2的区域完全不设置晶体管,从而可以释放更大的布图空间,进而有利于布线。
对于上述有效GOA单元101和虚拟GOA单元102的具体结构不做限定。以下示例性地介绍一种有效GOA单元101的结构,本领域技术人员应该明白,本公开实施例包括但不限于下述介绍的有效GOA单元101的结构。

需要说明的是,本公开中的晶体管可以为增强型晶体管,也可以为耗尽型晶体管。另外,由于晶体管中的源极、漏极在结构和组成上通常是对称的,所以其源极、漏极是没有区别的。在本公开一些实施例中,为区分一个晶体管除栅极之外的两极,将其中一极称为源极,另一极称为漏极。基于此,可以是上述第一极为源极,第二极为漏极;也可以是上述第一极为漏极,第二极为源极。
基于上述,对于位于阵列基板100上的GOA电路的实际电路分布而言,在一些实施例中,在有效GOA单元101中,上述输入子电路201中的至少部分晶体管和/或上述下拉子电路202中的至少部分晶体管位于有效GOA单元101的第二区域。
由于有效GOA单元101包括设置于有效GOA单元101的第二区域的第二子电路,因此第二子电路包括上述输入子电路201中的至少部分晶体管和/或上述下拉子电路202中的至少部分晶体管。在上述至少一个虚拟GOA单元包括设置在每个虚拟GOA单元的第一区域的第一子电路,且不包含第二子电路的情况下,也就是说虚拟GOA单元不包括上述输入子电路201中的至少部分晶体管和/或上述下拉子电路202中的至少部分晶体管,也即虚拟GOA单元删除了上述输入子电路201中的至少部分晶体管和/或上述下拉子电路202中的至少部分晶体管,这样一来,可以释放部分空间,从而有利于布线。
示例的,相比于有效GOA单元101中的输入子电路201包括第一晶体管M1,下拉子电路202包括第二晶体管M2;输入子电路201和下拉子电路202均位于第二区域a2。参考图10,由于虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2不设置第二子电路,因此虚拟GOA单元102不包括第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2。即,虚拟GOA单元102相对于有效GOA单元101去除了第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2。
在一些示例中,参考图9所示,有效GOA单元101中的上拉控制子电路203可以包括:第一控制单元2031和第二控制单元2032。其中,第一控制单元2031与第二节点N2、第二电压端VGH、第二控制单元2032连接;第二控制单元2032还与第一节点N1和第一时钟信号端CK1连接。
示例的,在一些实施例中,如图9所示,第一控制单元2031包括第三晶体管M3,第二控制单元2032包括第四晶体管M4。
在一些实施例中,在上拉控制子电路203包括第一控制单元2031和第二控制单元2032的情况下,在有效GOA单元101中,上述第一控制单元2031中的至少部分晶体管和/或上述第二控制单元2032中的至少部分晶体管位于有效GOA单元101的第二区域。由于虚拟GOA单元101的第二区域a2不包括第二子电路,也就是说虚拟GOA单元101不包括上述第一控制单元2031中的至少部分晶体管和/或上述第二控制单元2032中的至少部分晶体管,也即虚拟GOA单元101删除了上述第一控制单元2031中的至少部分晶体管和/或上述第二控制单元2032中的至少部分晶体管。
在第二种可能的实现方式中,每个有效GOA单元101包括通过多个信号传输通路相耦接的多个晶体管;至少一个虚拟GOA单元102包括多个晶体管,每个虚拟GOA单元102中多个晶体管与有效GOA单元101中多个晶体管的位置对应;在至少一个虚拟GOA单元102中,与多个晶体管耦接的多个信号传输通路中的至少一个相比于有效GOA单元101的相应位置处的信号传输通路是断开的。
本公开实施例中,由于在至少一个虚拟GOA单元102中,与多个晶体管耦接的多个信号传输通路中的至少一个相比于所述有效GOA单元的相应位置处的信号传输通路是断开的,而断开的信号传输通路因没有电流流通是不发热的,因此提高了散热效果。
此处,“每个虚拟GOA单元102中多个晶体管与有效GOA单元101中多个晶体管的位置对应”指的是若虚拟GOA单元102中的第一晶体管M1位于虚拟GOA单元102所占区域的左上角,则有效GOA单元101中的第一晶体管M1也位于有效GOA单元101所占区域的左上角。
应当理解到,每个有效GOA单元101中的多个晶体管都是通过多个信号传输通路相耦接在一起的。以有效GOA单元101的结构为如图9所示的结构为例,例如,第二晶体管M2和第三晶体管M3通过信号传输通路bc相耦接。又例如,第二晶体管M2和第五晶体管M5通过信号传输通路bd相耦接。再例如,第一晶体管M1和第六晶体管M6通过信号传输通路ef相耦接。
另外,对于一个虚拟GOA单元102,对于信号传输通路的断开位置不进行限定。以有效GOA单元101的结构为图9所示的结构为例,相对于图9,如图12所示,例如,可以将第二晶体管M2和第三晶体管M3之间的信号传输通路bc断开。又例如,可以将第二晶体管M2和第五晶体管M5之间的信号传输通路bd断开。再例如,可以将第一晶体管M1和第六晶体管M6之间的信号传输通路ef。
在一些实施例中,每个GOA单元所占区域包括:第一区域a1和第二区域a2;GOA单元包括设置于第一区域a1的至少一个晶体管和设置于第二区域a2的至少一个晶体管;至少一个虚拟GOA单元102中,与位于第二区域a2的晶体管耦接的信号传输通路中的至少一个相比于有效GOA单元101的相应位置处的信号传输通路是断开的;虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域位于虚拟GOA单元102所占区域中的靠近周边区2的外边缘的一半区域。
应当理解到,虚拟GOA单元102的第一区域a1的结构和连接关系与有效GOA单元101的第一区域a1的结构和连接关系是一致的。
例如,参考图12所示,虚拟GOA单元102的第一区域a1设置的晶体管(晶体管M3~晶体管M7)的结构和连接关系,与有效GOA单元101的第一区域a1的设置的晶体管(晶体管M3~晶体管M7)的结构和连接关系相一致。
上述至少一个虚拟GOA单元102中,与位于第二区域a2的晶体管耦接的信号传输通路中的至少一个相比于有效GOA单元101的相应位置处的信号传输通路是断开的,也即,断开的信号传输通路位于虚拟GOA单元102所占区域中的靠近周边区2的外边缘的一半区域。
以有效GOA单元101的结构为如图8和图9所示的结构为例,在有效GOA单元101中,输入子电路201中的至少部分晶体管和/或下拉子电路202中的至少部分晶体管位于有效GOA单元101的第二区域a2。 由于每个虚拟GOA单元102中多个晶体管与有效GOA单元101中多个晶体管的位置对应,因而虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2包括输入子电路201中的至少部分晶体管和/或下拉子电路202中的至少部分晶体管,而与位于第二区域a2的晶体管耦接的信号传输通路中的至少一个相比于有效GOA单元101的相应位置处的信号传输通路是断开的,因此如图11所示,与输入子电路201和/或与上拉子电路202耦接的信号传输通路断开,也即,与输入子电路201中的至少部分晶体管和/或与上拉子电路202中的至少部分晶体管耦接的信号传输通路断开。如图12所示,输入子电路201包括第一晶体管M1,上拉子电路202包括第二晶体管M2,与第一晶体管M1耦接的信号传输通路ef断开,和/或与第二晶体管M2耦接的信号传输通路bd和信号传输通路bc断开。
在此基础上,在上拉控制子电路203包括第一控制单元2031和第二控制单元2032的情况下,上述第一控制单元2031中的至少部分晶体管和/或上述第二控制单元2032中的至少部分晶体管位于有效GOA单元101的第二区域a2,由于每个虚拟GOA单元102中多个晶体管与有效GOA单元101中多个晶体管的位置对应,因而虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2包括第一控制单元2031中的至少部分晶体管和/或上述第二控制单元2032中的至少部分晶体管,而与位于第二区域a2的晶体管耦接的信号传输通路中的至少一个相比于有效GOA单元101的相应位置处的信号传输通路是断开的,因此如图11所示,与第一控制单元2031和/或第二控制单元2032耦接的信号传输通路断开,也即,如图12所示,与第一控制单元2031中的至少部分晶体管,和/或,与上述第二控制单元2032中的至少部分晶体管耦接的信号传输通路断开。
示例的,如图12所示,与第三晶体管M3耦接的信号传输通路和与第四晶体管M4耦接的信号传输通路断开。
由于阵列基板100上的多条走线通常会经过GOA单元靠近周边区2的外边缘的一侧,而本公开实施例中,断开的信号传输通路位于虚拟GOA单元102所占区域中的靠近周边区2的外边缘的一半区域,因而可以降低因信号传输通路电流流通产生的热量,提高散热效果,从而避免了对设置在GOA单元靠近周边区2外边缘的一侧的走线的影响。
在一些实施例中,虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2相比于第一 区域a1靠近周边区2的外边缘。
由于虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2相比于第一区域a1靠近周边区2的外边缘,因此信号传输通路断开的位置靠近周边区2的外边缘,而阵列基板100上的走线通常会经过GOA单元靠近周边区2的外边缘的一侧,因此可以进一步避免对设置在GOA单元靠近周边区2外边缘的一侧的走线产生影响。
在第三种可能的实现方式中,虚拟GOA单元102包括多个晶体管,有效GOA单元101包括多个晶体管,每个虚拟GOA单元102中多个晶体管与有效GOA单元101中多个晶体管的位置对应,且位置对应的晶体管的连接关系相同。
在此基础上,在一些实施例中,可以向虚拟GOA单元102中的至少一个晶体管的栅极输入选通信号,以使至少一个晶体管一直处于截止状态。例如,在虚拟GOA单元102中的至少一个晶体管为N型晶体管的情况下,可以向该N型晶体管的栅极输入高电平信号,以使该N型晶体管处于截止状态。或者,可以向虚拟GOA单元102中的至少一个晶体管的栅极不输入选通信号,以使至少一个晶体管一直处于截止状态。例如,虚拟GOA单元102的结构和有效GOA单元101的结构相同,都是如图9所示的结构,可以将第一时钟信号端CK1和第二时钟信号端CK2均不与时钟信号线连接,这样一来,栅极与第一时钟信号端CK1和第二时钟信号端CK2连接的晶体管,由于其栅极不输入选通信号,因而会一直处于截止状态。参考图9,若第一时钟信号端CK1和第二时钟信号端CK2均不与时钟信号线连接,则第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2以及第四晶体管M4会一直处于截止状态。
由于处于截止状态的晶体管中不会有电流经过,因而可以降低发热,提高散热效果。
此外,每个GOA单元所占区域包括:第一区域a1和第二区域a2。有效GOA单元101在工作时,对于虚拟GOA单元102,设置于虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2的晶体管处于截止状态。虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2相比于第一区域a1靠近周边区2的外边缘。进一步地,在一些实施例中,虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2相比于第一区域a1靠近周边区2的外边缘。
由于虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2的晶体管处于截止状态, 因而虚拟GOA单元102的第二区域a2不发热,从而可以提高散热效果。
另外,还需要说明的是,阵列基板100上除了设置前述的虚拟GOA单元102和有效GOA单元101以外,还设置有其他相关的信号线,例如时钟信号线CLK、电源电压信号线VDD等等,可以参考相关技术,此处不再一一赘述。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
