具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开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。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做 出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非另外定义,本公开使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本公开所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。同样,“一个”、“一”或者“该”等类似词语也不表示数量限制,而是表示存在至少一个。“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同,而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
下面通过几个具体的实施例对本公开进行说明。为了保持本公开实施例的以下说明清楚且简明,可省略已知功能和已知部件的详细说明。当本公开实施例的任一部件在一个以上的附图中出现时,该部件在每个附图中由相同或类似的参考标号表示。
图1为一种GOA单元的电路图。下面以该GOA单元中各晶体管采用N型晶体管为例进行说明。例如,在对第一节点PU充电时,第一输入端INPUT1为高电平,使得第一晶体管T1打开,此时对第一节点PU充电,在第一节点PU的控制下,第五晶体管T5打开,使得第二节点PD与低电压端VGL连接;同时,在该阶段中,时钟信号端CKB提供高电平,使得第四晶体管T4打开,时钟信号端CKB提供的高电平输出至第二节点PD。此时,由于时钟信号端CKB提供的高电平与低电压端VGL的低电平同时输入至第二节点PD,形成直流通路。
在形成该直流通路时,第一节点PU的高电平通过控制第五晶体管T5导通而用于拉低第二节点PD的电平,而由于第四晶体管T4在第二时钟信号端CKB的高电平的控制下导通,例如在未设置第四晶体管T4和第五晶体管T5的导通参数的情况下,可能使得第二节点PD处于高电平,第六晶体管T6响应于第二节点PD的高电平导通,从而会拉低第一节点PU的高电平,从而出现第一节点PU与第二节点PD的电位互相竞争的现象。
因此,一方面,上述直流通路会导致包括多个级联的GOA单元的栅极驱动电路的功耗增加;另一方面,该直流通路是GOA单元的一种不良现象,可能会拉低时钟信号CKB的电压,造成对第二节点PD的充电不足,导致该级GOA单元无法正常工作,从而使得该GOA单元的稳定性降低。
本公开一实施例提供一种移位寄存器单元,包括第一输入子电路、第一控制子电路、输出子电路和第二控制子电路。第一输入子电路连接第一输入端、第一控制信号端和第一控制子电路,第一输入子电路配置为在第一输入端的第一输入信号的控制下,将第一控制信号端的第一控制信号输出至第一控制子电路;第一控制子电路连接第二输入端、第一节点和第二控制子电路,第一控制子电路配置为在第一输入子电路输出的第一控制信号的控制下,将第二输入端的第二输入信号输出至第一节点;或者,第一控制子电路配置为将第二输入信号输出至第二控制子电路;输出子电路连接第一节点和输出端,输出子电路配置为在第一节点的电平的控制下,将输出信号输出至输出端;第二控制子电路连接第二时钟信号端、第二节点、控制节点和第一电压端,第二控制子电路配置为在第二时钟信号端的第二时钟信号的控制下,将第二时钟信号输出至第二节点;或者,第二控制子电路配置为在控制节点的电平的控制下,将第一电压端的第一电压输出至第二节点。本公开的实施例还提供对应于上述移位寄存器单元的栅极驱动电路、显示装置及驱动方法。
本公开的实施例提供移位寄存器单元,可以避免在工作过程中出现第一节点和第二节点的电位互相竞争的现象,从而可以降低包括该多个级联的移位寄存器单元的栅极驱动电路的功耗,提高该电路结构的稳定性。
下面结合附图对本公开的实施例及其示例进行详细说明。
本公开实施例提供一种移位寄存器单元(也称GOA单元),包括:第一输入子电路、第一控制子电路、输出子电路和第二控制子电路。如图2所示,在一个示例中,该移位寄存器单元100包括:第一输入子电路10、上拉控制子电路20、输出子电路30和下拉控制子电路40。需要注意的是,本公开实施例中的上拉控制子电路20为第一控制子电路的一个示例,下拉控制子电路40为第二控制子电路的一个示例,下面以第一控制子电路为上拉控制子电路20,第二控制子电路为下拉控制子电路40为例进行说明,但是本公开的实施例不限于此,以下实施例与此相同,不再赘述。
例如,第一输入子电路10连接第一输入端INPUT1、第一控制信号端CN和上拉控制子电路20,该第一输入子电路10配置为在第一输入端INPUT1的第一输入信号控制下,将第一控制信号端CN的第一控制信号输出至上拉控制子电路20,从而控制上拉控制子电路20导通。
例如,上拉控制子电路20连接第二输入端INPUT2、第一节点PU和下拉控制子电路40。例如,该上拉控制子电路20配置为在第一输入子电路10输出的第一控制信号的控制下导通,将第二输入端INPUT2与第一节点PU连接,从而将第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号输出至第一节点PU,以对第一节点PU进行充电(例如,上拉);或者,该上拉控制子电路20配置为在第一输入子电路10输出的第一控制信号的控制下导通时,将第二输入端INPUT2与下拉控制子电路40连接,从而将第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号输出至下拉控制子电路40,以使得下拉控制子电路40响应于第二输入信号而导通,从而使得第一节点PU与第一电压端VGL或另行提供的电压端(例如,低电压端,提供低电平信号)连接。需要说明的是,第一电压端VGL例如可以配置为保持输入直流低电平信号,例如,将该直流低电平信号称为第一电压。
输出子电路30连接第一节点PU和输出端OUT,该输出子电路30配置为在第一节点PU的电平的控制下,将输出信号输出至输出端OUT。例如,输出子电路30和第一时钟信号端CK、第一节点PU和输出端OUT连接,且配置为在第一节点PU的电平的控制下导通,使得第一时钟信号端CK与输出端连接,从而可以将第一时钟信号端CK的第一时钟信号作为输出信号输出至输出端OUT。
例如,下拉控制子电路40通过上拉控制子电路20连接第二输入端INPUT2。例如,下拉控制子电路40连接第二时钟信号端CKB、第二节点PD、控制节点PUCN和第一电压端VGL,该下拉控制子电路40配置为在第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号的控制下部分导通,使得第二时钟信号端CKB和第二节点PD连接,从而将第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号输出至第二节点PD,以将第二节点PD充电至高电平;或者,下拉控制子电路40配置为在控制节点PUCN的电平(即第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号)的控制下部分导通,使得第二节点PD与第一电压端VGL或另行提供 的电压端(例如,低电压端,提供低电平信号)连接,从而将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输出至第二节点PD。例如,通过控制第一输入端INPUT1的第一输入信号、第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号以及第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号的时序,使得第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号和第一电压端VGL的第一电压分时对第二节点PD进行控制,从而避免了下拉控制子电路40完全导通造成由第二时钟信号端CKB至第一电压端VGL的直流通路,从而可以降低包括该多个级联的移位寄存器单元的栅极驱动电路的功耗,提高该电路结构的稳定性。
例如,在另一个示例中,该移位寄存器单元100还包括降噪子电路。例如,如图2所示,该移位寄存器单元100还包括下拉子电路50。需要注意的是,该下拉子电路50为降噪子电路的一个示例,下面以降噪子电路为下拉子电路50为例进行说明,但是本公开的实施例不限于此,以下实施例与此相同,不再赘述。
下拉子电路50连接第二节点PD、第一节点PU、第一电压端VGL和输出端OUT,该下拉子电路50配置为在第二节点PD的电平的控制下导通,使得第一节点PU和输出端OUT与第一电压端VGL连接,从而将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输出至第一节点PU和输出端OUT,以实现降噪。
基于此,本公开实施例提供的移位寄存器单元,在输入阶段,在第一输入端INPUT1的第一输入信号控制下,第一输入子电路10将第一控制信号端CN的第一控制信号输出至上拉控制子电路20;在第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号输出至第二节点PD;在第二节点PD的电平的控制下,下拉子电路50将第一电压端的第一电压输出至第一节点PU,以实现降噪。在预充电阶段,在第一输入子电路10输出的第一控制信号的控制下,上拉控制子电路20将第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号输出至第一节点PU;上拉控制子电路20还将第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号输出至下拉控制子电路40,在第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输出至第二节点PD,从而拉低第二节点PD的电平,以保证在该阶段对第一节点PU的正常充电。
综上所述,在输入阶段,可以将第二时钟信号端CKB提供的高电平信 号输入至第二节点PD,在预充电阶段可以将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输入至第二节点PD,因此不会出现时钟信号端CKB的高电平与第一电压端VGL的低电平形成直流通路的情况,即避免了出现第一节点PU和第二节点PD的电位互相竞争而导致电路功耗增加的问题,同时也能提高该移位寄存器单元的稳定性。
以下结合图3对图2所示的移位寄存器单元的电路结构进行举例说明。
第一输入子电路10包括第一晶体管T1,第一晶体管T1的栅极连接第一输入端INPUT1以接收第一输入信号,第一晶体管T1的第一极连接第一控制信号端CN以接收第一控制信号,第一晶体管T1的第二极作为所述第一输入子电路10的输出端连接上拉控制子电路20。例如,当第一输入端INPUT1提供的第一输入信号为有效电平时,第一晶体管导通,使得上拉控制子电路20与第一控制信号端CN连接,从而可以在第一控制信号端CN提供的第一控制信号的控制下导通。
上拉控制子电路20包括第二晶体管T2和第三晶体管T3,第二晶体管T2的栅极连接第一输入子电路10的输出端,即连接第一晶体管T1的第二极,第二晶体管T2的第一极连接第二输入端INPUT2以接收第二输入信号,第二晶体管T2的第二极连接控制节点PUCN,即连接第三晶体管T3的栅极、第三晶体管T3的第一极以及下拉控制子电路40,即图3中第六晶体管T6的栅极;例如,第三晶体管的栅极和第一极彼此电连接,且分别配置为和控制节点PUCN连接,第三晶体管T3的第二极连接第一节点PU。
输出子电路30包括第四晶体管T4和第一电容C1;第四晶体管T4的栅极连接第一节点PU,第四晶体管T4的第一极连接第一时钟信号端CK以接收第一时钟信号作为输出信号,第四晶体管T4的第二极连接输出端OUT;第一电容C1的第一端连接第一节点PU,第一电容C1的第二端连接输出端OUT。当第一节点PU的电平为有效电平时,第四晶体管T4导通,从而将第一时钟信号输出至输出端OUT;由于第一电容C1具有自举作用,有利于更好地将第一时钟信号中的高电平输出。
下拉控制子电路40包括第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管T6和第二电容C2;第五晶体管T5的栅极和第一极彼此电连接,且分别配置为和第二时钟信号端CKB连接以接收第二时钟信号,第五晶体管T5的第二极连接第二节点 PD;第六晶体管T6的栅极连接控制节点PUCN(即上拉控制子电路20),第六晶体管T6的第一极连接第二节点PD,第六晶体管T6的第二极连接第一电压端VGL以接收第一电压;第二电容C2的第一端连接第二节点PD,第二端连接第一电压端VGL以接收第一电压。例如,当第二时钟信号为有效电平时,第五晶体管T5导通,使得第二节点PD和第二时钟信号端CKB连接,从而将第二节点PD充电至高电平;当控制节点PUCN为有效电平时,第六晶体管T6导通,使得第二节点PD和第一电压端VGL连接,从而将第二节点PD下拉至低电平。
例如,通过控制第一输入端INPUT1的第一输入信号、第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号以及第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号的时序,使得第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号和第一电压端VGL的第一电压分时对第二节点PD进行控制。例如,在输入阶段,第二时钟信号端CKB提供高电平,使得第五晶体管T5导通,从而将第二时钟信号的高电平输入至第二节点PD,并存储在第二电容C2中;在预充电阶段,第二时钟信号端CKB提供低电平,第六晶体管T6在控制节点PUCN的高电平的控制下开启,从而将第二节点PD和第一电压端VGL连接,从而拉低第二节点PD的电平。例如,第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6在输入阶段和预充电阶段分时导通,从而可以避免了第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6同时导通造成由第二时钟信号端CKB至第一电压端VGL的直流通路,从而可以降低包括该多个级联的移位寄存器单元的栅极驱动电路的功耗,提高该电路结构的稳定性。下拉子电路50包括第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8;第七晶体管T7的栅极连接第二节点PD,第七晶体管T7的第一极连接第一节点PU,第七晶体管T7的第二极连接第一电压端VGL以接收第一电压;第八晶体管T8的栅极连接第二节点PD,第八晶体管T8的第一极连接输出端OUT,第八晶体管T8的第二极连接第一电压端VGL以接收第一电压。
需要注意的是,在本公开的各个实施例的说明中,第一节点PU、第二节点PD、控制节点PUCN并非表示实际存在的部件,而是表示电路图中相关电连接的汇合点。
需要说明的是,本公开的实施例中采用的晶体管均可以为薄膜晶体管、场效应晶体管或其他特性相同的开关器件,本公开的实施例中均以薄膜晶体 管为例进行说明。这里采用的晶体管的源极、漏极在结构上可以是对称的,所以其源极、漏极在结构上可以是没有区别的。在本公开的实施例中,为了区分晶体管除栅极之外的两极,直接描述了其中一极为第一极,另一极为第二极。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例不限定第n(n为大于等于1的整数)晶体管为一个晶体管,其可以是多个晶体管的串联,图3中以第n晶体管包括一个晶体管为例进行示意。本公开实施例中,上述晶体管可以均为P型晶体管或者均为N型晶体管。当上述晶体管均为P型晶体管时,其第一极为源极,第二极为漏极。当上述晶体管均为N型晶体管时,其第一极为漏极,第二极为源极。本公开实施例以各晶体管为N型晶体管为例进行说明,第一电压端VGL输出恒定的低电平。
在本公开的实施例中,例如,当各个电路实现为N型晶体管时,术语“上拉”表示对一个节点或一个晶体管的一个电极进行充电,以使得该节点或该电极的电平的绝对值升高,从而实现相应晶体管的操作(例如导通);“下拉”表示对一个节点或一个晶体管的一个电极进行放电,以使得该节点或该电极的电平的绝对值降低,从而实现相应晶体管的操作(例如截止)。又例如,当各个电路实现为P型晶体管时,术语“上拉”表示对一个节点或一个晶体管的一个电极进行放电,以使得该节点或该电极的电平的绝对值降低,从而实现相应晶体管的操作(例如导通);“下拉”表示对一个节点或一个晶体管的一个电极进行充电,以使得该节点或该电极的电平的绝对值升高,从而实现相应晶体管的操作(例如截止)。
以下结合图4对图3所示的移位寄存器单元的工作过程进行具体的说明,一图像帧内,该移位寄存器单元的工作过程包括:输入阶段P1、预充电阶段P2、输出阶段P3和复位阶段P4。
输入阶段P1,第一输入端INPUT1提供高电平(即第一输入信号为高电平),第二时钟信号端CKB提供高电平(即第二时钟信号为高电平),在第一输入端INPUT1的高电平的控制下,第一输入子电路10将第一控制信号端CN的信号输出至上拉控制子电路20;在第二时钟信号端CKB的高电平的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第二时钟信号端CKB的高电平信号输出至第二节点PD以对第二节点PD进行充电;在第二节点PD的电平的控制下, 下拉子电路50将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输出至第一节点PU,以避免在此阶段对第一节点PU进行充电。
具体地,INPUT1=1,INPUT2=0,CN=1,CKB=1,CK=0,PUCN=0,PU=0,PD=1,OUT=0。其中,“1”表示高电平,“0”表示低电平。
在此情况下,在第一输入端INPUT1的高电平的控制下,第一晶体管T1导通,第一控制信号端CN的第一控制信号通过第一晶体管T1输出至第二晶体管T2的栅极,第二晶体管T2导通,第二输入端INPUT2的低电平通过第二晶体管T2输出至控制节点PUCN,在控制节点PUCN的控制下,第三晶体管T3和第六晶体管T6处于关断状态。在第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号的控制下,第五晶体管T5导通,第二时钟信号端CKB提供的第二时钟信号通过第五晶体管T5对第二节点PD充电,从而第二节点PD为高电平。同时,在第二节点PD的电平控制下,第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8导通,第一电压端VGL的第一电压分别通过第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8输出至输出端OUT和第一节点PU,在第一节点PU的控制下,第四晶体管T4处于关断状态,从而在此阶段,输出端OUT输出低电平。
综上所述,输入阶段中,第五晶体管T5导通,第六晶体管T6关断,避免了出现第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6同时导通时造成由第二时钟信号端CKB至第一电压端VGL的直流通路(即短路),从而避免了因该直流通路导致第一节点PU和第二节点PD的电位互相竞争的问题,因此,可以降低包括该多个级联的移位寄存器单元的栅极驱动电路的功耗,提高该电路结构的稳定性。
预充电阶段P2,第二输入端INPUT2提供高电平,第一时钟信号端CK提供低电平,例如,第一输入子电路10输出的第一控制信号可以维持至该预充电阶段P2,从而在第一输入子电路10输出的第一控制信号的控制下,上拉控制子电路20将第二输入端INPUT2的高电平(即第二输入信号)输出至第一节点PU,以将第一节点PU充电至第一高电平;上拉控制子电路20还将第二输入端INPUT2的高电平输出至下拉控制子电路40,在第二输入端INPUT2的高电平的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输出至第二节点PD,从而拉低第二节点PD的电平,避免其对第一节点PD的充电的影响。
具体地,INPUT1=0,INPUT2=1,CN=1,CKB=0,CK=0,PUCN=1,PU=1,PD=0,OUT=0。
在此情况下,在第一输入端INPUT1的高电平的控制下,第一晶体管T1关断;第二输入端INPUT2的高电平通过第二晶体管T2输出至控制节点PUCN,在控制节点PUCN的电平的控制下,第三晶体管T3和第六晶体管T6导通。控制节点PUCN的高电平通过第三晶体管T3输出至第一节点PU,在第一节点PU的电平的控制下,第四晶体管T4导通,第一时钟信号端CK的低电平通过第四晶体管T4输出至输出端OUT,从而在此阶段,输出端OUT输出低电平。第一电压端VGL的第一电压通过第六晶体管T6输出至第二节点PD,在第二节点PD的电平的控制下,第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8关断。在第二时钟信号端CKB的低电平的控制下,第五晶体管T5关断。
综上所述,预充电阶段中,第五晶体管T5关断,第六晶体管T6导通,避免了出现第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6同时导通造成由第二时钟信号端CKB至第一电压端VGL的直流通路(即短路),从而避免了该直流通路导致的第一节点PU和第二节点PD的电位互相竞争的问题,因此,可以降低包括该多个级联的移位寄存器单元的栅极驱动电路的功耗,提高该电路结构的稳定性。由于第一时钟信号端CK提供低电平,所以,在该阶段中,输出端OUT不输出栅线扫描信号。
输出阶段P3:第一时钟信号端CK提供高电平,在第一节点PU的电平的控制下,输出子电路30将第一时钟信号端CK的高电平输出至输出端OUT。
具体地,INPUT1=0,INPUT2=0,CN=1,CKB=0,CK=1,PUCN=0,PU=1,PD=0,OUT=1。
在此情况下,第二输入端INPUT2的低电平通过第二晶体管T2输出至节点PUCN,在节点PUCN的电平的控制下,第三晶体管T3和第六晶体管T6关断。在第一节点PU的电平的控制下,第四晶体管T4导通,第一时钟信号端CK的高电平通过第四晶体管T4输出至输出端OUT;由于第一电容C1的自举作用,第一节点PU的电位进一步升高,被充电至第二高电平。此外,第一晶体管T1、第五晶体管T5、第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8的状态与预充电阶段相同,此处不再赘述。
综上所述,该阶段中输出端OUT输出栅线扫描信号。
复位阶段P4:第二时钟信号端CKB提供高电平,在第二时钟信号端CKB的高电平的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第二时钟信号端CKB的高电平输出至第二节点PD,从而将第二节点PD充电至高电平;在第二节点PD的电平的控制下,下拉子电路50将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输出至第一节点PU和输出端OUT。
具体地,INPUT1=0,INPUT2=0,CN=1,CKB=1,CK=0,PUCN=0,PU=0,PD=1,OUT=0。
在此情况下,在第二时钟信号端CKB的电平的控制下,第五晶体管T5导通,第二时钟信号端CKB的高电平通过第五晶体管T5输出至第二节点PD,并存储在第二电容C2中,使得第二节点PD保持在高电平;在第二节点PD的控制下,第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8导通,第一电压端VGL的第一电压通过第七晶体管T7输出至第一节点PU,第一电压端VGL的第一电压通过第八晶体管T8输出至输出端OUT,从而实现对第一节点PU和输出端OUT的复位。在第一节点PU的电平的控制下,第四晶体管T4关断。此外,第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3处于关断状态。
在此基础上,在下一帧图像开始之前,当CKB=0时,第五晶体管T5关断,在第二电容C2的作用下,第二节点PD保持高电平,以使得在第二节点PD的电平的控制下,第一节点PU和输出端OUT的电位维持低电平,保证该移位寄存器单元的正常输出。
综上所述,由于本公开实施例提供的移位寄存器单元在工作过程中第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6分时段导通,避免了二者同时导通时导致出现由第二时钟信号端CKB至第一电压端VGL的直流通路,且避免了第一节点PU和第二节点PD出现电位互相竞争的问题,使得第二节点PD充电效率更高、第一节点PU的电压更稳定,从而提高了移位寄存器单元的稳定性。
在此基础上(在图2所示的示例的基础上),例如,如图5所示,本公开实施例提供的移位寄存器单元还可以包括第二输入子电路60,第二输入子电路60连接第三输入端INPUT3、第四输入端INPUT4、第二控制信号端CNB和控制节点PUCN,该第二输入子电路60配置为在第三输入端INPUT3的第三输入信号以及以及第二控制信号端CNB的第二控制信号的控制下,将第 四输入端INPUT4的第四输入信号输出至控制节点PUCN。
例如,如图6所示,第二输入子电路60包括第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10,第九晶体管T9的栅极连接第三输入端INPUT3以接收第三输入信号,第九晶体管T9的第一极连接第二控制信号端CNB以接收第二控制信号,第九晶体管T9第二极连接第十晶体管T10的栅极。第十晶体管T10的第一极连接第四输入端INPUT4以接收第四输入信号,第十晶体管T10的第二极连接控制节点PUCN。
在此情况下,由该移位寄存器级联构成的栅极驱动电路可以实现正向扫描和反向扫描,具体地,第一控制信号端CN和第二控制信号端CNB作为正向扫描和反向扫描的控制信号。以第九晶体管T9为N型晶体管为例,当CN=0,CNB=1(即第一控制信号为低电平,第二控制信号为高电平)时,上述栅极驱动电路可以用于进行反向扫描;当CN=1,CNB=0(即第一控制信号为高电平,第二控制信号为低电平)时,上述栅极驱动电路可以用于进行正向扫描。
当图6所示的移位寄存器用于正向扫描时,在输入阶段,第二输入子电路20不工作,其他子电路的工作过程与前述相同,此处不再赘述。当图6所示的移位寄存器用于反向扫描时,在输入阶段,第一输入子电路10不工作,第二输入子电路20工作,即在第三输入端INPUT3的第三输入信号以及第四输入端INPUT4的第四输入信号的控制下,第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10导通,第二控制信号端CNB与第十晶体管T10的栅极连接,使得第二控制信号端CNB的第二控制信号通过第九晶体管T9输出至第十晶体管T10的栅极,从而控制第十晶体管T10导通,将第四输入端INPUT4输入的第四输入信号输入至控制节点PUCN,从而控制第三晶体管T3导通;其他子电路的工作过程与前述相同,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,本公开示实施例中以各晶体管均为N型晶体管为例进行说明,本领域技术人员可以理解的是,当各晶体管均为P型时,只需对图4中的各时序信号反向即可,本实施例对此不再说明。

预充电阶段P2,第二输入端INPUT2提供高电平,第一时钟信号端CK提供低电平,例如,第一输入子电路10输出的第一控制信号可以维持至该预充电阶段P2,从而在第一输入子电路10输出的第一控制信号的控制下,上拉控制子电路20将第二输入端INPUT2的高电平信号输出至第一节点PU;上拉控制子电路20还将第二输入端INPUT2的高电平信号输出至下拉控制子电路40,在第二输入端INPUT2的高电平信号的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输出至第二节点PD。
输出阶段P3:第一时钟信号端CK提供高电平,在第一节点PU的电平的控制下,输出子电路30将第一时钟信号端CK的高电平信号输出至输出端OUT。
复位阶段P4:第二时钟信号端CKB提供高电平,在第二时钟信号端CKB的高电平的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第二时钟信号端CKB的高电平信号输出至第二节点PD;在第二节点PD的电平的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输出至第一节点PU和输出端OUT。
需要说明的是,前述已经对上述各个阶段的工作过程进行了详细的说明,此处不再赘述。
基于此,本公开实施例提供的移位寄存器单元的控制方法,在输入阶段,在第一输入端INPUT1的第一输入信号的控制下,第一输入子电路10将第一控制信号端CN的第一控制信号输出至上拉控制子电路20;在第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第二时钟信号端CKB的第二时钟信号输出至第二节点PD;在第二节点PD的电平的控制下,下拉子电路50将第一电压端的第一电压输出至第一节点PU。在预充电阶段,在第一输入子电路10输出的第一控制信号的控制下,上拉控制子电路20将 第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号输出至第一节点PU;上拉控制子电路20还将第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号输出至下拉控制子电路40,在第二输入端INPUT2的第二输入信号的控制下,下拉控制子电路40将第一电压端VGL的第一电压输出至第二节点PD,从而可以拉低第二节点PD的电平,以保证在该阶段对第一节点PU的正常充电。
综上所述,在输入阶段和预充电阶段,避免了第一节点PU和第二节点PD的电位互相竞争导致电路功耗增加的问题,以及避免了出现第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6同时导通时造成由第二时钟信号端CKB至第一电压端VGL的直流通路,从而提高了移位寄存器单元的稳定性。
