图3是相关技术中提供的子像素与栅极驱动模块的连接示意图;在相关技术中,栅极驱动模块GM包括第一子栅极驱动单元gm1、第二子栅极驱动单元gm2和第三子栅极驱动单元gm3,第一子栅极驱动单元gm1包括多个级联的第一子栅极驱动电路ga1,第二子栅极驱动单元gm2包括多个级联的第二子栅极驱动电路ga2,第三子栅极驱动单元gm3包括多个级联的第三子栅极驱动电路ga3。多个第一子栅极驱动电路ga1被配置为向多个子像素Spi的复位晶体管Tr和补偿晶体管Tc提供栅极控制信号,多个第二子栅极驱动电路ga2被配置为向多个子像素Spi的第二初始晶体管Ti2提供栅极控制信号,多个第三子栅极驱动电路ga3被配置为向多个子像素Spi的第一发光控制晶体管Te1和第二发光控制晶体管Te2提供发光控制信号。数据晶体管Tda可受控于第一子栅极驱动单元gm1输出的栅极控制信号,也可受控于其他栅极驱动单元输出的栅极控制信号。第一初始晶体管Ti1可与数据晶体管Tda共用同一栅极驱动单元提供的栅极控制信号,也可由第三子栅极驱动单元gm3提供对应的栅极控制信号。其中,同一子像素Spi中,补偿晶体管Tc的控制端接收的栅极控制信号与复位晶体管Tr的控制端接收的栅极控制信号由不同级的第一子驱动电路生成。如显示面板DP中第n行子像素Spi的复位晶体管Tr的控制端接收的栅极控制信号由第n-2级第一子栅极驱动电路生成,第n行子像素Spi的补偿晶体管Tc的控制端接收的栅极控制信号由第n级第一子栅极驱动电路生成。第一子栅极驱动单元gm1采用双边驱动的设计形式。
图4A~图4B是相关技术中提供的子像素Spi对应的时序图。其中,Pscan对应为第一初始晶体管Ti1的控制端、第二初始晶体管Ti2的控制端接收的栅极控制信号,Pscan_T2对应为数据晶体管Tda的控制端接收的栅极控制信号,Nscan_T3对应为补偿晶体管Tc的控制端接收的栅极控制信号,Nscan_T4对应为复位晶体管Tr的控制端接收的栅极控制信号, EM对应为第一发光控制晶体管Te1和第二发光控制晶体管Te2的控制端接收的栅极控制信号。
其中,子像素Spi采用图4A所示的时序图进行显示时,因复位晶体管Tr和补偿晶体管Tc对应的栅极控制信号具有两次有效脉冲,显示面板DP应用图4A所示的时序无法实现分区分频显示。在子像素Spi采用图4B所示的时序图进行显示时,即使复位晶体管Tr和补偿晶体管Tc对应的栅极控制信号具有一次有效脉冲,但由于同一子像素Spi中,补偿晶体管Tc的控制端接收的栅极控制信号与复位晶体管Tr的控制端接收的栅极控制信号由不同级的第一子栅极驱动电路ga1提供,且复位晶体管Tr会先于补偿晶体管Tc导通,因而,在对应显示面板DP分频位置附近的部分行,子像素Spi中的复位晶体管Tr会根据对应的栅极控制信号导通,使驱动晶体管Tdr的控制端的电位的得以复位,而补偿晶体管Tc会因对应的栅极控制信号为变为低频而保持截止,从而使得子像素Spi中无新数据信息被存储至驱动晶体管Tdr的控制端,也无原数据信号被保留在驱动晶体管Tdr的控制端,导致子像素Spi出现显示异常。
为使显示面板DP可以实现分区分频显示,且改善显示面板DP对应分频位置的部分行的子像素Spi出现显示异常的问题,本申请提供一种显示装置。
请继续参阅图1A~图1B,栅极驱动模块GM包括多条分频控制线FL、第一栅极驱动单元GM1和第二栅极驱动单元GM2。

其中,第一栅极驱动电路GA1和第二栅极驱动电路GA2均包括第一输出端O1,第一栅极驱动电路GA1的第一输出端O1输出第一栅极控制信号Nscan1,第二栅极驱动电路GA2的第一输出端O1输出第二栅极控制信号Nscan2。
可选地,多个第一栅极驱动电路GA1的第一输出端O1通过多条第一扫描线GL1与多个子像素Spi电性连接,多个第二栅极驱动电路GA2的第一输出端O1通过多条第二扫描线GL2与多个子像素Spi电性连接。
请继续参阅图1A~图1B和图2A~图2B,多个子像素Spi的补偿晶体管Tc的控制端与多级第一栅极驱动电路GA1的第一输出端O1对应电性连接,多个子像素Spi的复位晶体管Tr的控制端与多级第二栅极驱动电路GA2的第一输出端O1对应电性连接,以使复位晶体管Tr和补偿晶体管Tc不再受控于同一栅极驱动单元生成的栅极控制信号,而是使得补偿晶体管Tc和复位晶体管Tr受控于不同栅极驱动单元生成的栅极控制信号,从而使得一子像素Spi的复位晶体管Tr和另一子像素Spi的补偿晶体管Tc不再因受控于同一栅极控制信号而具有同步的工作状态,而是使不同子像素Spi的复位晶体管Tr和补偿晶体管Tc之间的工作状态得以独立。并且,因第一栅极驱动电路GA1可根据第一分频控制信号NF1实现第一栅极控制信号Nscan1的电平控制,第二栅极驱动电路GA2可根据第二分频控制信号NF2实现第二栅极控制信号Nscan2的电平控制,因而,通过第一分频控制信号NF1和第二分频控制信号NF2,可使同一子像素Spi中,复位晶体管Tr接收的第二栅极控制信号Nscan2的频率与补偿晶体管Tc接收的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1的频率相同,从而使同一子像素Spi中复位晶体管Tr和补偿晶体管Tc的导通频率相同,继而改善显示面板DP中对应分频位置的部分子像素Spi因补偿晶体管Tc所用的栅极控制信号为低频,而复位晶体管Tr所用栅极控制信号仍为高频,导致子像素Spi出现显示异常的问题。
可选地,请继续参阅图1A~图1B,显示面板DP包括显示区AA和位于显示区AA相对两侧的第一非显示区DA1和第二非显示区DA2。其中,多个子像素Spi位于显示区AA,第一栅极驱动单元GM1位于第一非显示区DA1,第二栅极驱动单元GM2位于第二非显示区DA2。通过使第一栅极驱动单元GM1和第二栅极驱动单元GM2分设于第一非显示区DA1和第二显示区DA2,以使显示面板DP的边框尺寸可以被降低。
相应地,因多个子像素Spi的补偿晶体管Tc的控制端与多级第一栅极驱动电路GA1的第一输出端O1对应电性连接,多个子像素Spi的复位晶体管Tr的控制端与多级第二栅极驱动电路GA2的第一输出端O1对应电性连接,因而,对应对多个子像素Spi的补偿晶体管Tc实现了单边驱动设计,对应对多个子像素Spi的复位晶体管Tr实现了单边驱动设计,即多级所述第一栅极驱动电路GA1通过单边驱动的方式电性连接于多个所述子像素Spi的所述补偿晶体管Tc的控制端,多级所述第二栅极驱动电路GA2通过单边驱动的方式电性连接于多个所述子像素Spi的所述复位晶体管Tr的控制端。有利于降低显示面板DP的边框尺寸。
可选地,为节省功耗及缩减显示面板DP的边框尺寸,单个栅极驱动电路可设置成同时输出多个栅极控制信号的形式。相应地,单个栅极驱动电路输出的多个栅极控制信号可用于控制同一子像素Spi中不同晶体管的导通状态。
如第一栅极驱动电路GA1包括第二输出端O2,第一栅极驱动电路GA1的第二输出端O2输出第三栅极控制信号Pscan1。其中,多个子像素Spi的数据晶体管Tda的控制端与多个第一栅极驱动电路GA1的第二输出端O2电性连接,以使多个子像素Spi的数据晶体管Tda受控于多个第一栅极驱动电路GA1输出的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1。

因而,通过控制第一分频控制信号NF1可以控制多个第一栅极驱动电路GA1输出的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1的电平,通过控制第二分频控制信号NF2可以控制多个第二栅极驱动电路GA2输出的第二栅极控制信号Nscan2的电平。通过控制第一分频控制信号NF1和第二分频信号自有效电平跳变至无效电平的时刻,可使第一栅极控制信号Nscan1和第二栅极控制信号Nscan2对应同一级即不具有有效电平的输出。
与之相似的,通过控制第三分频控制信号PF1可以控制多个第一栅极驱动电路GA1输出的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1的电平,通过控制第四分频控制信号PF2可以控制多个第二栅极驱动电路GA2输出的第四栅极控制信号Pscan2的电平。通过控制第三分频控制信号PF1和第四分频信号自有效电平跳变至无效电平的时刻,可使第三栅极控制信号Pscan1和第四栅极控制信号Pscan2对应同一级即不具有有效电平的输出。因此,第一栅极驱动单元GM1和第二栅极驱动单元GM2对应第三分频控制信号PF1或第四分频控制信号PF2自有效电平跳变至无效电平的时序图如图8B所示,第一栅极驱动单元GM1和第二栅极驱动单元GM2对应第三分频控制信号PF1或第四分频控制信号PF2自有效电平跳变至无效电平的工作原理,可参照第一分频控制信号NF1和第二分频信号有效电平跳变至无效电平的工作原理类似得到。
如对应图8B,在第三分频控制信号PF1对应自有效电平跳变至无效电平的时刻之前的第十二阶段t12,第p+9级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(p+9)输出的第p+9级第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(p+9)具有高电平,第p+10级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(p+10)输出的第p+10级第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(p+10)具有低电平。在第三分频控制信号PF1或第四分频控制信号PF2对应自有效电平跳变至无效电平的时刻之后的第十三阶段t13,第p+11级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(p+11)中,第一晶体管T1、第四晶体管T4、第九晶体管T9、第十二晶体管T12、第一分频晶体管Tf1~第三分频晶体管Tf3导通,第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3、第十一晶体管T11、第四分频晶体管Tf4截止。第p+11级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(p+11)的第四分频晶体管Tf4截止致使在第p+11级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(p+11)对应的第二时钟信号为低电平的时段内,第p+11级第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(p+11)维持高电平。
与之相似的,还可得到第四分频控制信号PF2对应自有效电平跳变至无效电平时,第二栅极驱动单元GM2的工作原理。
与之相似的,还可得到第一栅极驱动单元GM1、第二栅极驱动单元GM2根据对应的分频控制信号自无效电平跳变至有效电平时的工作原理,在此不进行赘述。
参照图8A~图8B的分析,可得到第一栅极驱动电路GA1或第二栅极驱动电路GA2包括两第二输出模块50和一第二分频控制模块60时,第一栅极驱动单元GM1或第二栅极驱动单元GM2的工作原理,在此不再进行赘述。相应地,第一栅极驱动单元或第二栅极驱动单元输出的多个栅极控制信号的时序图如图8C~图8D所示。
请继续参阅图1A~图1B,在一些实施例中,栅极驱动模块GM还包括第三栅极驱动单元GM3和第四栅极驱动单元GM4。第三栅极驱动单元GM3包括多个级联的第三栅极驱动电路GA3,多个第三栅极驱动电路GA3被配置为生成多个第五栅极控制信号Pscan,以输出至多个子像素Spi的第一初始晶体管Ti1和第二初始晶体管Ti2的控制端。第四栅极驱动单元GM4包括多个级联的第四栅极驱动电路GA4,多个第四栅极驱动电路GA4被配置为生成多个发光控制信号EM,以输出至多个子像素Spi的第一发光控制晶体管Te1和第二发光控制晶体管Te2的控制端。可选地,多个第三栅极驱动电路GA3与多条第四扫描线GL4电性连接,多个第四栅极驱动电路GA4与多条发光控制线EL电性连接。
可选地,每一第三栅极驱动电路GA3可驱动至少一行的子像素Spi的第一初始晶体管Ti1和第二初始晶体管Ti2,每一第四栅极驱动电路GA4可驱动至少一行的子像素Spi的第一发光控制晶体管Te1和第二发光控制晶体管Te2。

在第一复位阶段Si1:发光控制线EL传输的发光控制信号EM、数据晶体管Tda接收的栅极控制信号(即第三栅极控制信号Pscan1和第四栅极控制信号Pscan2中的至少一个)为高电平,复位晶体管Tr接收的栅极控制信号(即第一栅极控制信号Nscan1)和补偿晶体管Tc接收的栅极控制信号(即第二栅极控制信号Nscan2)为低电平,第四扫描线GL4传输的第五栅极控制信号Pscan为低电平。第一初始线VL1传输的第一初始信号传输至发光器件Di的阳极,以实现对发光器件Di阳极电位的复位;第二初始线VL2传输的第二初始信号传输至驱动晶体管Tdr的输入端和输出端,实现对驱动晶体管Tdr的输入端和输出端的电位复位。
在第二复位阶段Si2,第一栅极控制信号Nscan1、发光控制信号EM、数据晶体管Tda接收的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1和第四栅极控制信号Pscan2、第五栅极控制信号为高电平Pscan,第二栅极控制信号Nscan2为低电平。复位晶体管Tr导通,复位信号Vr传输至驱动晶体管Tdr的栅极,以实现对驱动晶体管Tdr的控制端的电位复位。

其中,在第二复位阶段Si2和数据写入阶段Sw之间,还可包括控制复位晶体管Tr和补偿晶体管Tc同时导通的阶段,以使复位信号Vr可被传输至驱动晶体管Tdr的输出端和输入端,实现对驱动晶体管Tdr的输出端和输入端的电位复位。

其中,写入帧WF包括第一复位阶段Si1、第二复位阶段Si2、数据写入阶段Sw、第三复位阶段Si3、发光阶段Sd,保持帧HF包括第四复位阶段Si4、第五复位阶段Si5和发光阶段Sd。
结合图1A、图6A、图8A~图8B及图9的分析,以位于第L行的子像素Spi的补偿晶体管Tc的控制端与第K+1级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K+1)的第一输出端O1电性连接,位于第L行的子像素Spi的复位晶体管Tr的控制端与第K-3级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K-3)的第一输出端O1电性连接,位于第L行的子像素Spi的数据晶体管Tda的控制端与第K级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K)的第二输出端O2与第K级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K)的第二输出端O2电性连接,第K级栅极驱动电路采用第K-1级栅极驱动电路的第一输出端O1输出的栅极控制信号作为控制信号为例,对应用第一栅极驱动单元GM1和第二栅极驱动单元GM2使显示面板DP实现分频显示的原理进行说明。
在一显示周期的第一帧F1,为使多个子像素Spi的驱动晶体管Tdr的控制端均写入新的数据信号,控制第一分频控制信号NF1~第四分频控制信号PF2保持有效电平状态,显示面板DP内多行子像素Spi均经历图9所示的写入帧WF阶段。其中,一显示周期可以包括一帧,也可包括多帧。一显示周期包括一帧时,该帧即对应为多行子像素Spi的写入帧WF。一显示周期包括多帧时,第一帧F1即对应为多行子像素Spi的写入帧WF。
在一显示周期的第二帧F2,若显示面板DP的第1行子像素Spi~第L行子像素Spi采用高频进行显示,第L+1行子像素Spi及其后的多行子像素Spi采用低频进行显示,那么,对应第1行子像素Spi~第L行子像素Spi所应用的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1、第二栅极控制信号Nscan2、第三栅极控制信号Pscan1、第四栅极控制信号Pscan2均需具有有效脉冲,使第1行子像素Spi~第L行子像素Spi均经历图9所示的写入帧WF阶段。而对应第L行子像素Spi及其后的多行子像素Spi所应用的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1、第二栅极控制信号Nscan2、第三栅极控制信号Pscan1、第四栅极控制信号Pscan2均无需具有有效脉冲,使第L行子像素Spi及其后的多行子像素Spi均经历图9所示的保持帧HF阶段。其中,第二帧F2位于第一帧F1后。
如以第L-1行子像素Spi和第n行子像素Spi为例,第L-1行子像素Spi所应用的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1为第K级第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(K),第L-1行子像素Spi所应用的第二栅极控制信号Nscan2为第K-4级第二栅极控制信号Nscan2(K-4)、第L-1行子像素Spi所应用的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1和第四栅极控制信号Pscan2为第K-1级第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(K-1)和第K-1级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K-1)。第K级第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(K)在第二帧F2具有的时序即对应如图9中的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1于写入帧WF所具有的形式,第K-4级第二栅极控制信号Nscan2(K-4)在第二帧F2具有的时序即对应如图9中的第二栅极控制信号Nscan2于写入帧WF所具有的形式,第K-1级第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(K-1)和第K-1级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K-2)在第二帧F2的时序即对应如图9中的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1和第四栅极控制信号Pscan2于写入帧WF所具有的形式。
而第L行子像素Spi所应用的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1为第K+1级第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(K+1),第L行子像素Spi所应用的第二栅极控制信号Nscan2为第K-3级第二栅极控制信号Nscan2(K-3)、第L行子像素Spi所应用的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1和第四栅极控制信号Pscan2为第K级第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(K)和第K级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K)。第K+1级第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(K+1) 在第二帧F2具有的时序即对应如图9中的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1于保持帧HF所具有的形式,第K-3级第二栅极控制信号Nscan2(K-3)在第二帧F2具有的时序即对应如图9中的第二栅极控制信号Nscan2于保持帧HF所具有的形式,第K级第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(K)和第K级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K)在第二帧F2的时序即对应如图9中的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1和第四栅极控制信号Pscan2于保持帧HF所具有的形式。因而,对于第L-1行子像素Spi而言,第二帧F2仍是写入帧WF;而对于第L行子像素Spi而言,第二帧F2为保持帧HF。第二帧F2,第L-1行子像素Spi的驱动晶体管Tdr的控制端具有数据信号写入,而第L行子像素Spi的驱动晶体管Tdr的控制端不具有数据信号写入,第L-1行子像素Spi和第L行子像素Spi在第二帧F2对应的刷新频率具有了区别,可以使显示面板DP实现分频显示功能。
可选地,在一些实施例中,一子像素Spi对应低频显示时,补偿晶体管Tc、复位晶体管Tr和数据晶体管Tda均降为低频,即控制补偿晶体管Tc、复位晶体管Tr和数据晶体管Tda在保持帧HF均保持截止状态。相应地,因第L-1行子像素Spi应用第K级第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(K),第K行子像素Spi应用第K级第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(K)和第K级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K),因而,第K级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K)输出的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(K)需满足第L-1行子像素Spi实现高频显示需求,第K级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K)输出的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(K)需满足第L行子像素Spi实现低频显示需求,第K级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K)输出的第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K)需满足第L行子像素Spi实现低频显示需求。因此,第K级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K)需输出同时满足高频需求的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(K),还需输出满足低频需求的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(K)。因而,在一显示周期的位于第一帧HF1之后的至少一帧内,对应至少一所述第一栅极驱动电路GA1输出的所述第一栅极控制信号Nscan1的频率大于所述第三栅极控制信号Pscan1的频率。与之相似的,第K-3级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K-3)~第K-1级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K-1)需输出同时满足高频需求的第K-3级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K-3)~第K-1级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K-1),还需输出满足低频需求的第K-3级第二栅极控制信号Nscan2 (K-3)~第K-1级第二栅极控制信号Nscan2(K-1)。因而,在一显示周期的位于第一帧HF1之后的至少一帧内,对应至少一所述第二栅极驱动电路GA2输出的所述第二栅极控制信号Nscan2的频率小于所述第四栅极控制信号Pscan2的频率。即对应同一栅极驱动电路存在需要输出具有不同频率的栅极控制信号的需求。而本申请提供的第一栅极驱动单元GM1、第二栅极驱动单元GM2与分频控制信号、子像素Spi的匹配设计,可以满足上述需求。
与之相似的,在显示面板DP的第1行子像素Spi~第L行子像素Spi采用低频进行显示,第L+1行子像素Spi及其后的多行子像素Spi采用高频进行显示时,第K级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K)需输出同时满足低频需求的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(K),还需输出满足高频需求的第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(K),因而,在一显示周期的位于第一帧HF1之后的至少一帧内,对应至少一所述第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K)输出的所述第一栅极控制信号Nscan1的频率小于所述第三栅极控制信号Pscan1的频率。与之相似的,第K-3级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K-3)~第K-1级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K-1)需输出同时满足低频需求的第K-3级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K-3)~第K-1级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(K-1)   ,还需输出满足高频需求的第K-3级第二栅极控制信号Nscan2 (K-3)~第K-1级第二栅极控制信号Nscan2(n-1)。因而,在一显示周期的位于第一帧HF1之后的至少一帧内,对应至少一所述第二栅极驱动电路GA2输出的所述第二栅极控制信号Nscan2的频率大于所述第四栅极控制信号Pscan2的频率。即仍对应同一栅极驱动电路存在需要输出具有不同频率的栅极控制信号的需求。
与之相似的,对应一栅极驱动电路包括多个第二输出模块的设计,仍有对应同一栅极驱动电路存在需要输出具有不同频率的栅极控制信号的需求。如结合图1B、图6B、图8C~图8D及图9的分析,以位于第L行~第L+X-1行的子像素Spi的补偿晶体管Tc的控制端与第K级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K)的第一输出端O1电性连接,位于第L行~第L+X-1行的子像素Spi的复位晶体管Tr的控制端与第K-2级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K-2)的第一输出端O1电性连接,位于第L行的子像素Spi的数据晶体管Tda的控制端与第K级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K)的一第二输出端O2和第K级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K)的一第二输出端O2电性连接,位于第L+X-1行的子像素Spi的数据晶体管Tda的控制端与第K级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(K)的另一第二输出端O2和第K级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(K)的另一第二输出端O2电性连接为例进行说明。
在一显示周期的第二帧F2,若显示面板DP的第1行子像素Spi~第10行子像素Spi采用高频进行显示,第11行子像素Spi及其后的多行子像素Spi采用低频进行显示。那么,第6级第一栅极驱动电路GA1(6)需输出同时满足高频需求的第一栅极控制信号Nscan1(6),还需输出满足高频需求的第11级第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(11)~第12级第三栅极控制信号Pscan1(12)。第5级第二栅极驱动电路GA2(5)需输出同时满足高频需求的第9级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(9)~第10级第四栅极控制信号Pscan2(10)   ,还需输出满足低频需求的第5级第二栅极控制信号Nscan2 (5)。即对应同一栅极驱动电路包括多个第二输出模块时,仍需要栅极驱动电路输出具有不同频率的栅极控制信号。而本申请提供的第一栅极驱动单元GM1、第二栅极驱动单元GM2与分频控制信号、子像素Spi的匹配设计,可以满足上述需求。
本文中应用了具体个例对本申请的原理及实施方式进行了阐述,以上实施例的说明只是用于帮助理解本申请的方法及其核心思想;同时,对于本领域的技术人员,依据本申请的思想,在具体实施方式及应用范围上均会有改变之处,综上所述,本说明书内容不应理解为对本申请的限制。
