实施例一Embodiment 1
参阅图1和图2所示,本申请提供一种栅极驱动电路,本申请的栅极驱动电路包括:输出模块10、耦合电容C、预充模块20和升压模块30。输出模块10设置有输出端120,输出模块10用于输出栅极驱动信号Gn,栅极驱动信号Gn经过输出端120传输向像素驱动电路。Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , this application provides a gate drive circuit. The gate drive circuit of this application includes: an output module 10 , a coupling capacitor C, a precharge module 20 and a boost module 30 . The output module 10 is provided with an output terminal 120. The output module 10 is used to output the gate driving signal Gn. The gate driving signal Gn is transmitted to the pixel driving circuit through the output terminal 120.
耦合电容C的第一端连接输出模块10;耦合电容C设置有两个电极板,第一电极板C1和第二电极板C2,第一电极板C1和第二电极板C2相对设置。第一电极板C1为耦合电容C的第一端,第二电极板C2为耦合电容C的第二端。The first end of the coupling capacitor C is connected to the output module 10; the coupling capacitor C is provided with two electrode plates, a first electrode plate C1 and a second electrode plate C2. The first electrode plate C1 and the second electrode plate C2 are arranged oppositely. The first electrode plate C1 is the first terminal of the coupling capacitor C, and the second electrode plate C2 is the second terminal of the coupling capacitor C.
预充模块20连接耦合电容C的第一端,预充模块20用于向耦合电容C的第一端提供第一电压Vdd,输出模块10响应第一电压Vdd以输出栅极驱动信号Gn;第一电压Vdd大于输出模块10的阈值电压,第一电压Vdd加载至耦合电容C的第一端,相当于加载至输出模块10的控制端,输出模块10的控制端接收到第一电压Vdd后,输出模块10的输出端120输出栅极驱动信号Gn。The precharge module 20 is connected to the first end of the coupling capacitor C. The precharge module 20 is used to provide the first voltage Vdd to the first end of the coupling capacitor C. The output module 10 responds to the first voltage Vdd to output the gate driving signal Gn; A voltage Vdd is greater than the threshold voltage of the output module 10. The first voltage Vdd is loaded to the first end of the coupling capacitor C, which is equivalent to being loaded to the control end of the output module 10. After the control end of the output module 10 receives the first voltage Vdd, The output terminal 120 of the output module 10 outputs the gate driving signal Gn.
第一电压Vdd已经能够保证输出模块10输出栅极驱动信号Gn,但是为了保证输出模块10能够更加充分的发挥作用,需要提高第一电压Vdd的电压值。为此,升压模块30连接耦合电容C的第二端,升压模块30用于向耦合电容C的第二端提供第二电压,在耦合电容C的第二端的加载了第二电压后,耦合电容C的第二端的电压得以升高,通过耦合电容C的电容耦合作用,将第二端升高的电压差值,耦合至第一端,以耦合升高第一电压Vdd。即,将耦合电容C的第一端同样升高相同的电压差值。The first voltage Vdd can already ensure that the output module 10 outputs the gate drive signal Gn. However, in order to ensure that the output module 10 can function more fully, the voltage value of the first voltage Vdd needs to be increased. To this end, the boost module 30 is connected to the second terminal of the coupling capacitor C. The boost module 30 is used to provide a second voltage to the second terminal of the coupling capacitor C. After the second terminal of the coupling capacitor C is loaded with the second voltage, The voltage at the second end of the coupling capacitor C is increased, and through the capacitive coupling effect of the coupling capacitor C, the increased voltage difference at the second end is coupled to the first end to couple to increase the first voltage Vdd. That is, the first terminal of the coupling capacitor C is also raised by the same voltage difference.
本实施例中,预充模块20向耦合电容C的第一端输出第一电压Vdd,升压模块30向耦合电容C的第二端输出第二电压。在耦合电容C的第二端加载第二电压,升高了耦合电容C的第二端的电压。通过电容耦合作用,耦合电容C第一端的电压随着第二端的电压升高而升高。保证输出模块10能够更加顺利的输出栅极驱动信号Gn。这其中,耦合电容C的第一端和第二端的信号来源避开了输出模块10的输出端120,即不需要通过输出模块10的输出端120提供加载信号来提升第二端的电压,输出模块10中的TFT开关老化就不会影响到耦合电容C的耦合作用。如此耦合电容C能够顺利的进行耦合作用,保证显示面板50的显示效果。In this embodiment, the precharge module 20 outputs the first voltage Vdd to the first terminal of the coupling capacitor C, and the boost module 30 outputs the second voltage to the second terminal of the coupling capacitor C. Loading a second voltage on the second end of the coupling capacitor C increases the voltage on the second end of the coupling capacitor C. Through capacitive coupling, the voltage at the first terminal of the coupling capacitor C increases as the voltage at the second terminal increases. This ensures that the output module 10 can output the gate driving signal Gn more smoothly. Among them, the signal sources of the first end and the second end of the coupling capacitor C avoid the output end 120 of the output module 10, that is, there is no need to provide a loading signal through the output end 120 of the output module 10 to increase the voltage of the second end. The output module The aging of the TFT switch in 10 will not affect the coupling effect of the coupling capacitor C. In this way, the coupling capacitor C can perform the coupling function smoothly and ensure the display effect of the display panel 50 .

TFT switches have the advantages of fast response speed. The control end of the driving switch T0 is connected to the first end of the coupling capacitor C, and the control end of the driving switch T0 is used to respond to the first voltage Vdd; the control end of the output module 10 is the control end of the driving switch T0, and the first voltage Vdd is greater than the driving switch The threshold voltage of T0, after the control terminal of the driving switch T0 receives the first voltage Vdd, the first terminal and the second terminal of the driving switch T0 are turned on.

According to the capacitive coupling effect of the coupling capacitor C, the voltage at the first terminal of the coupling capacitor C also increases, and the increased voltage value is equal to the voltage difference between the second voltage and the pull-down voltage Vgl.
通过耦合电容C的第一端的电压升高,在第一电压Vdd的基础上增加了第二电压和下拉电压Vgl之间的电压差,随着耦合电容C的第一端的电压升高,驱动开关T0的第一端和第二端开启的更加充分,从而使输出模块10的栅极驱动信号Gn充分的输出至像素驱动电路。By the voltage at the first terminal of the coupling capacitor C rising, the voltage difference between the second voltage and the pull-down voltage Vgl is increased based on the first voltage Vdd.
