栅极驱动电路中的移位寄存器主要由晶体管、电容器等器件组成,在移位寄存器的工作过程中,通过晶体管、电容器对内部的控制节点的电位进行控制,进而实现扫描信号的输出。然而,由于电信号在经过晶体管传输的过程中会存在阈值损失,容易导致控制节点的电压不足,从而造成移位寄存器输出异常,进而导致显示异常。
相关技术中,以图1所示的移位寄存器为例,移位寄存器包括输入子电路、输出子电路、降噪子电路和控制子电路等,以实现基本的输入、输出、 以及对控制节点的电位控制功能。移位寄存器中的控制节点包括上拉节点PU和下拉节点PD,在输入阶段,晶体管T1在第一时钟信号端CLK1传输的第一时钟信号clk1的控制下导通,将在信号输入端Iput处接收的输入信号input传输至上拉节点PU,存储电容器C将上拉节点的电压进行存储,同时晶体管T2在上拉节点PU的电压的控制下导通。在输出阶段,第二时钟信号端CLK2传输的第二时钟信号clk2的电平变为高电平,存储电容器C通过自举作用,将上拉节点PU的电压抬升,从而晶体管T2在上拉节点的电压的控制下持续导通,将第二时钟信号clk2传输至信号输出端Oput,从而移位寄存器输出扫描信号。
在上述移位寄存器中,在晶体管T1将输入信号input传输至上拉节点PU的过程中,输入信号input的电压值V input存在阈值损失,即晶体管T1无法将输入信号input的完整的电压值V input传输至上拉节点,上拉节点PU的电压只能达到V clk1-Vth,其中,V clk1为第一时钟信号clk1的高电平电压,Vth为晶体管T1的阈值电压。
这是由于:以晶体管T1为N型晶体管为例,晶体管T1导通的条件为:晶体管的栅源电压差Vgs大于其阈值电压Vth,当晶体管T1导通,将输入信号input从其第一极(漏极)传输至第二极(源极)的过程中,晶体管T1的第二极的电压逐渐增大,当电压值达到V clk1-Vth时,若晶体管T1的第二极的电压继续增大,则无法满足导通条件。因此,输入信号input在由晶体管T1传输至上拉节点PU的过程中存在阈值电压损失,造成上拉节点PU的电压只能达到V clk1-Vth,尤其是在晶体管T1存在阈值电压漂移的情况下,传输至上拉节点PU的电压值会更小,造成上拉节点PU的电位不足。需要说明的是,在显示装置中,通常系统所产生的信号的电压值是特定的,例如输入信号input的电压值V input与第一时钟信号clk1的高电平电压V clk1相等。
这样,上拉节点PU的电压不足,也就是说晶体管T2的控制极的电位较低,会造成晶体管T2的导通程度受到影响,从而影响第二时钟信号clk2向信号输出端Oput的传输。并且,由于上拉节点PU的电压较低,第二时钟信号clk2在由晶体管T2传输至信号输出端Oput的过程中同样会存在阈值电压损失的问题,导致移位寄存器输出的扫描信号的电压值较低,出现输出异常,从而影响移位寄存器的稳定性,设置导致显示装置的显示效果受到影响。
基于此,本公开的一些实施例提供一种移位寄存器及其驱动方法,以及栅极驱动电路和显示装置,以解决相关技术中由于电信号在传输过程中存在阈值损失,造成扫描信号输出异常,进而导致显示异常的问题,为了便于理 解,以下按照从大到小的顺序,对显示装置、栅极驱动电路和移位寄存器分别进行介绍。
本公开实施例提供一种显示装置,该显示装置可以是显示不论运动(例如,视频)还是固定(例如,静止图像)的且不论文字还是的图像的任何装置。更明确地说,预期所述实施例可实施在多种电子装置中或与多种电子装置关联,所述多种电子装置例如(但不限于)移动电话、无线装置、个人数据助理(PDA)、手持式或便携式计算机、GPS接收器/导航器、相机、MP4视频播放器、摄像机、游戏控制台、手表、时钟、计算器、电视监视器、平板显示器、计算机监视器、汽车显示器(例如,里程表显示器等)、导航仪、座舱控制器和/或显示器、相机视图的显示器(例如,车辆中后视相机的显示器)、电子相片、电子广告牌或指示牌、投影仪、建筑结构、包装和美学结构(例如,对于一件珠宝的图像的显示器)等。
在一些实施例中,显示装置包括框架、设置于框架内的显示面板、电路板、显示驱动IC((Integrated Circuit,集成电路)以及其他电子配件等。
上述显示面板可以为:液晶显示面板(Liquid Crystal Display,简称LCD)有机发光二极管(Organic Light Emitting Diode,简称OLED)显示面板、量子点发光二极管(Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes,简称QLED)显示面板等,本公开对此不做具体限定。
本公开以下实施例均是以上述显示面板为液晶显示面板为例,对本公开进行说明的。
如图2A和2B所示,上述显示面板PNL包括:显示区(active display area,AA;简称AA区;也可称为有效显示区)和围绕AA区一圈设置的周边区。
上述显示面板PNL的AA区内设置有多种颜色的亚像素(sub pixel)P,该多种颜色的亚像素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,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,沿水平方向X排列成一排的亚像素P称为同一行亚像素;沿竖直方向Y排列成一排的亚像素P称为同一列亚像素。
如图2B所示,每一亚像素P中均设置有像素驱动电路S,该像素驱动电路S包括晶体管T和液晶电容器C。该液晶电容器C的两个极板分别由像素电极和公共电极构成。其中,位于同一行的像素驱动电路S中的晶体管T的控制极(栅极)与同一栅线(Gate Line)GL耦接,以在栅线GL传输的扫描信号的控制下打开,位于同一列的像素驱动电路S的晶体管T的一极(例如 源极)与同一数据线(Data Line)DL耦接,以在晶体管T打开的情况下,接收数据线DL传输的数据信号。

在一些实施例中,上述栅极驱动电路01可以为栅极驱动IC。在另一些实施例中,上述栅极驱动电路01可以为GOA(Gate Driver on Array)电路,也即上述栅极驱动电路01直接集成在显示面板PNL的阵列基板中。其中,将栅极驱动电路01设置为GOA电路的方式,一方面,可以降低显示面板的制作成本,另一方面,可以窄化显示装置的边框宽度。以下实施例均是以栅极驱动电路01为GOA电路为例进行说明。
需要说明的是的,图2A和图2B仅是示意的,以显示面板PNL在周边区的单侧设置栅极驱动电路01,从单侧逐行依次驱动各栅线GL,即单侧驱动为例进行说明的。在另一些实施例中,显示面板PNL可以在周边区中沿栅线GL的延伸方向上的两个侧边分别设置栅极驱动电路,通过两个栅极驱动电路同时从两侧逐行依次驱动各栅线GL,即双侧驱动。在另一些实施例中,显示面板PNL可以在周边区中沿栅线GL的延伸方向上的两个侧边,分别设置栅极驱动电路,通过两个栅极驱动电路交替从两侧,逐行依次驱动各栅线GL,即交叉驱动。本公开以下实施例均是以单侧驱动为例进行说明的。

对于上述移位寄存器而言,在一些实施例中,为了避免通过同一信号输出端作为扫描信号输出端向显示面板PLN中与其耦接的栅线输出栅极扫描信号,同时又作为级联信号输出端向其他移位寄存器输出级联信号(例如输入信号、复位信号等),导致栅极驱动电路01的输出不稳定;如图2B所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,在栅极驱动电路01的移位寄存器(RS1、RS2……RS(N))中,每个移位寄存器均独立设置扫描信号输出端Output_o(下文以及附图均将Output简写为Oput)和级联信号输出端Oput_c,从而通过扫描信号输出端Oput_o向与其耦接的栅线GL输出栅极扫描信号,通过级联信号输出端Oput_c输出级联信号,从而保证了栅极驱动电路01的信号输出的稳定性。
另外,在一些实施例中,如图2所示,本公开栅极驱动电路01的移位寄存器(RS1、RS2……RS(N))中还设置有信号输入端Input(附图以及下文均简写为Iput),复位信号端Reset(附图以及下文均简写为RST),并且栅极驱动电路01中各级移位寄存器的电路结构相同。
在此基础上,对于栅极驱动电路01中各级移位寄存器的级联情况而言:
除前一级或者多级移位寄存器的信号输入端Iput与起始信号端STV耦接,除与起始信号端STV耦接的移位寄存器以外,其他任一级移位寄存器的信号输入端Iput与位于其前级的移位寄存器的信号输出端Oput耦接;最后一级或多级移位寄存器的复位信号端RST独立设置或者与前述的起始信号端STV耦接;除最后一级或多级移位寄存器以外,任一级移位寄存器的复位信号端RST与位于其后级的移位寄存器的信号输出端Oput耦接。
示例性地,如图2B所示,第一级移位寄存器RS1信号输入端Iput与起始信号端STV耦接,除移位寄存器RS1之外的其他移位寄存器(RS2、RS3……RS(N)),任一级移位寄存器的信号输入端Iput与位于其前级的移位寄存器的信号输出端Oput耦接。最后一级移位寄存器RS(N)的复位信号端RST独立设置;除最后一级移位寄存器RS(N)以外的其他移位寄存器(RS1、RS2……RS(N-1)),任一级移位寄存器的复位信号端RST与位于其后级的移位寄存器的信号输出端Oput耦接。
另外,本领域的技术人员应当理解到,对于移位寄存器本身而言,如图3所示,其内部还设置有上拉节点PU和下拉节点PD,通过对上拉节点PU和下拉节点PD的电位控制,实现移位寄存器正常输出。其中,在移位寄存器的工作过程中,上拉节点PU和下拉节点PD的电位始终互为一组反相电位;示例性的,在上拉节点PU的电位为高电位时,下拉节点PD的电位为低电位;在上拉节点PU的电位为低电位时,下拉节点PD的电位为高电位。
在此基础上,如图3或图4所示,本公开的一些实施例提供的移位寄存器还包括:输入子电路100,输入子电路100与信号输入端Iput耦接。在该输入子电路100中,第一节点A被配置为接收信号输入端Iput所传输的输入信号input。
如图3或图4所示,上述输入子电路100包括:第一输入控制单元101和增压单元102。
上述第一输入控制单元101与第一时钟信号端CLK1、第一节点A、第二节点B和上拉节点PU耦接;该第一输入控制单元101被配置为:在第一节点A的电压的控制下,将在第一时钟信号端CLK1处接收的第一时钟信号clk1 经第二节点B输出至上拉节点PU。
上述增压单元102耦接在第一节点A和第二节点B之间;该增压单元102被配置为:在第一时钟信号clk1的作用下,抬升第一节点A的电压,以使第一时钟信号clk1在由第一输入控制单元传输至上拉节点PU的过程中的电压损失减小,此处的电压损失指的是阈值电压损失。
示例性的,如图3所示,上述第一输入控制单元101包括:第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2。
其中,第一晶体管M1的控制极与第一节点A耦接,第一晶体管M1的第一极与第一时钟信号端CLK1耦接,第一晶体管M2的第二极与第二节点B耦接。第一晶体管M1被配置为第一节点A的电压的控制下导通,将第一时钟信号clk1传输至第二节点B。
第二晶体管M2的控制极与第一节点A耦接,第二晶体管M2的第一极与第二节点B耦接,第二晶体管M2的第二极与上拉节点PU耦接。第二晶体管M2被配置为第一节点A的电压的控制下导通,将传输至第二节点B的第一时钟信号clk1传输至上拉节点PU。
示例性的,如图3所示,上述增压单元102包括:第一电容器C1;其中,该第一电容器C1的第一极与第一节点A耦接,第一电容器C1的第二极与第二节点B耦接。根据电容器的自举作用,在传输至第二节点B的第一时钟信号clk1的作用下,第二节点B的电压升高,从而第一节点A的电压被抬升。
示例性地,第一节点A接收信号输入端Iput所传输的输入信号input,例如此时第一节点A的电压为输入信号input的电压值V input。在第一节点A的电压的控制下,第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2导通,将第一时钟信号clk1传输至第二节点B,进而传输至上拉节点PU,在这个过程中,第二节点B的电位上升,例如此时第二节点B的电压为第一时钟信号clk1的高电平电压值V clk1,从而在第一电容器C1的自举作用下,第一节点A的电位抬升,变为V input+V clk1
也就是说,第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2的控制极的电压增大为V input+V clk1,从而第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2的栅源电压差Vgs增大,远大于第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2的阈值电压,从而第一晶体管M1能够将第一时钟信号clk1的完整的电压值V clk1传输至第二节点B,第二晶体管M2能够将第二节点B接收的第一时钟信号clk1的完整的电压值V clk1传输至上拉节点PU,在第一时钟信号clk1的传输过程中,第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2始终能够满足导通条件,第一时钟信号clk1在由第一输入控制单元 101传输至上拉节点PU的过程中的阈值电压损失减小,甚至没有阈值电压损失,从而上拉节点PU的电压值能够达到要求,例如上拉节点PU的电压值为第一时钟信号clk1的完整的电压值V clk1
综上所述,对于本公开实施例提供的移位寄存器而言,在输入子电路100中,第一节点A接收信号输入端Iput所传输的输入信号,从而第一节点A的电压升高(例如,大约为V input),在第一节点A的电压控制下,通过第一输入控制单元101将在第一时钟信号端CLK1处接收的第一时钟信号clk1经第二节点B输出至上拉节点PU,与此同时,第二节点B的电压在第一时钟信号clk1的作用下升高,从而通过增压单元102来进一步的抬升第一节点A的电压(例如,此时第一节点A的电压大约可达到V input+V clk1),也就是说使得第一输入控制单元101中晶体管的控制极的电压抬升,从而使得第一时钟信号clk1在由第一输入控制单元101传输至上拉节点PU的过程中的阈值电压损失减小甚至没有电压损失,能够使得第一时钟信号clk1的完成的电压值V clk1传输至上拉节点PU,进而避免了上拉节点PU出现电位不足的现象,从而保证了移位寄存器的稳定输出。

本公开的一些实施例还提供了一种移位寄存器的驱动方法,在介绍该驱动方法之前,首先对显示装置的显示过程进行介绍。
在显示技术领域,例如对于液晶显示装置来说,一帧图像指的是通过逐行扫描或者隔行扫描的方式在显示屏幕上“绘制”一幅图像。示例性地,如图2B所示,在显示面板PNL中,显示面板PNL所包括的多个亚像素P呈阵列式排布,包括N行M列,在显示过程中,通过逐行扫描的方式,第一条栅线GL至第N条栅线GL逐行对第一行亚像素P至第N行亚像素P依次输入扫描信号,以逐行将亚像素P开启,在每一行亚像素P打开时,数据线DL将相应的数据信号输入该行亚像素P中的每个亚像素(一共包括M个亚像素),以将多个亚像素P从第一行至第N行依次点亮以显示相应的图像,这样,就完成了一帧图像的“绘制”或显示。接着,同样以逐行扫描的方式,重新将多个亚像素P从第一行至第N行依次点亮以显示相应的图像,这样就完成下一帧图像的“绘制”或显示。
通常,显示装置的刷新频率可以为60HZ或100HZ,即显示装置一秒钟可以显示60帧图像或100帧图像,每帧图像的显示周期为1/60秒或1/100秒。由于人眼存在视觉暂留现象,可能会出现这样的情况,当显示一幅静止的画面时,虽然在一秒钟之内人眼感觉不出显示装置上的图像发生了任何变化,但实际上显示装置上的图像已经重复显示了60次或100次。在显示装置的刷新频率足够高的情况下,人眼不会感受到画面切换所造成的闪烁。
也就是说,显示装置的显示过程包括多个帧周期,每个帧周期完成N行亚像素P的扫描,从而进行一帧图像的显示,对于栅极驱动电路来说,在每个帧周期中,栅极驱动电路所包括的N级移位寄存器依次输出扫描信号,即从第一级移位寄存器至第N级移位寄存器依次输出扫描信号,从而逐行扫描各条栅线GL。
示例性地,在一个帧周期内,每个移位寄存器的驱动过程包括预充电阶段S1、输入阶段S2、输出阶段S3和复位阶段S4,根据栅极驱动电路中多级移位寄存器的级联方式的不同,每个移位寄存器的上述四个时段与相邻移位寄存器的上述四个时段有相应的对应关系。例如,以图5所示的栅极驱动电路为例,第一级移位寄存器RS1的复位信号端RST与第二级移位寄存器RS2的级联信号输出端Oput_c耦接,第一级移位寄存器RS1的级联信号输出端Oput_c与第三级移位寄存器RS3的信号输入端Iput耦接,这样,第一级移位寄存器的复位阶段S4对应第二级移位寄存器的输出阶段S3,第一级移位寄存 器的输出阶段S3对应第二级移位寄存器的输入阶段S2,以此类推,此处不再赘述。
在此基础上,以下以图5中示出的栅极驱动电路01(由图4的移位寄存器级联而成)中的第一级移位寄存器RS1为例,并结合图6中的时序控制图,对本公开的移位寄存器在一图像帧(一个帧周期)内的驱动方法进行说明。
参考图5和图6,对于第一级移位寄存器RS1而言,其信号输入端Iput与第一起始信号端STV1耦接,复位信号端RST与第二级移位寄存器RS2的级联信号输出端(图6中的Oput_c’)耦接;第一时钟信号端CLK1与第一系统时钟信号端ck1耦接,第二时钟信号端CLK2与第二系统时钟信号端ck2耦接、第三时钟信号端CLK3与第三系统时钟信号端ck3耦接。该第一级移位寄存器RS1的驱动方法包括:一个帧周期包括预充电阶段S1、输入阶段S2、输出阶段S3和复位阶段S4。
预充电阶段S1:
(通过第一起始信号端STV1)向信号输入端Iput输入开启电压,输入子电路100接收信号输入端Iput所传输的输入信号input(开启电压),具体地,在输入信号input的控制下,第二输入控制单元103开启,并将该输入信号input传输至第一节点A,从而对第一节点A进行预充电。
向初始化信号端T_RST输入初始化信号t_rst,初始化信号t_rst的电平为高电平,在初始化信号t_rst的控制下,初始化子电路400开启,将在第一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至上拉节点PU,以对上拉节点PU的电压进行初始化。
示例性的,参考图4和图6,在输入子电路100的第二输入控制单元103包括第三晶体管M3,在初始化子电路400包括第七晶体管M7的情况下,预充电阶段S1包括:
在输入阶段S2,第一起始信号端STV1所传输的第一起始信号stv1(输入信号input)的电平为高电平,第三晶体管M3导通,将在第一起始信号端STV1处接收的第一起始信号stv1(即输入信号input)传输至第一节点A,第一节点A的电位升高,并对第一电容器C1进行充电。
可以理解的是,在该阶段,第一节点A的电位升高,第一输入控制单元101开启,也就是第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2导通,将在第一时钟信号端CLK1处接收的第一时钟信号clk1传输至第二节点B以及上拉节点PU,此时,第一时钟信号clk1的电平为低电平。
向初始化信号端T_RST输入初始化信号t_rst,初始化信号t_rst的电平为 高电平,第七晶体管M7导通,将在第一电压端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至上拉节点PU,以对上拉节点PU进行初始化。对于栅极驱动电路01而言,此时所有的移位寄存器中的上拉节点PU均进行初始化。
在一些实施例中,在预充电阶段,可以向第一级移位寄存器的信号输入端Iput和初始化信号端T_RST均输入初始化信号t_rst,即信号输入端Iput不和第一起始信号端STV1耦接,而是连接输入初始化信号t_rst的端口,这样也能够在预充电阶段S1实现对第一节点A的预充电和对上拉节点PU的初始化。
输入阶段S2:
在第一节点A的电压的控制下,第一输入控制单元101持续开启,并将在第一时钟信号端CLK1处接收的第一时钟信号clk1经第二节点B输出至上拉节点PU,此时第一时钟信号clk1的电平为高电平,从而上拉节点PU的电压升高。
同时,增压单元102在第一时钟信号clk1的作用下,抬升第一节点A的电压,以使第一时钟信号clk1在由第一输入控制单元101传输至上拉节点PU的过程中的电压损失减小。
另外,在该输入阶段S2中,在上拉节点PU的电压的控制下,输出子路300开启,将在第二时钟信号端CLK2(即第二系统时钟信号端ck2)处接收的第二时钟信号clk传输至级联信号输出端Oput_c和扫描信号输出端Oput_o。此时,第二时钟信号clk的电平为低电平。
并且,在上拉节点PU的电压的控制下,下拉控制子电路500开启,将在第一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至至下拉节点PD,从而将下拉节点PD的电位拉低。
这样,在下拉节点PD的电压的控制下,第一降噪子电路600和第二降噪子电路700均关闭。
示例性的,参考图4和图6,在输入子电路100包括第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2、第三晶体管M3和第一电容器C1;输出子电路300包括第五晶体管M5、第六晶体管M6和第二电容器C2;下拉控制子电路500包括第八晶体管M8和第九晶体管M9;第一降噪子电路600包括第十晶体管M10;第二降噪子电路700包括第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12的情况下,输入阶段S2包括:
在第一节点A的高电平电压的控制下,第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2导通,将在第一时钟信号端CLK1(即第一系统时钟信号端ck1)处接收的第 一时钟信号clk1经第二节点B输出至上拉节点PU,此时第一时钟信号clk1的电平为高电平,从而第二节点B的电压升高,上拉节点PU的电压升高。
在第一时钟信号clk1的传输过程中,第一电容器C1在第二节点B的高电平电压的作用下发生自举,进一步的抬升第一节点A的电位,从而使得第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2的控制极的电压增大,远大于其阈值电压,使得第一时钟信号clk1在由第一输入控制单元101传输至上拉节点PU的过程中的阈值电压损失减小甚至没有电压损失,降低了第一时钟信号clk1在经第二节点B输出至上拉节点PU过程中的电压损失,保证了上拉节点PU具有足够的电位。
同时,在该输入阶段S2,在上拉节点PU的高电压的控制下,第二电容器C2进行充电,第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6导通,分别将在第二时钟信号端CLK2处接收的第二时钟信号clk传输至级联信号输出端Oput_c和扫描信号输出端Oput_o。此时,第二时钟信号clk的电平为低电平。
并且,在上拉节点PU的高电压的控制下,第九晶体管M9导通,将在第一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至至下拉节点PD,从而将下拉节点PD的电位拉低。在下拉节点PD的电压的控制下,第十晶体管M10、第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12均截止。
输出阶段S3:
第二时钟信号端CLK2传输的第二时钟信号clk2的电平为高电平,输出子电路300在上拉节点PU的电压的控制下保持开启,将在第二时钟信号端CLK2处接收的第二时钟信号clk2传输至级联信号输出端Oput_c和扫描信号输出端Oput_o。此时级联信号输出端Oput_c输出级联信号,扫描信号输出端Oput_o输出扫描信号。同时,在输出子电路300中的第二电容器的自举作用下,上拉节点PU的电位进一步抬升。
另外,在第二时钟信号clk2的控制下,输入复位子电路200开启,将在第一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至第一节点A,以对第一节点A的电压进行复位。
在上拉节点PU的电压的控制下,下拉控制子电路500保持开启,将在第一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至至下拉节点PD,从而将下拉节点PD的电位拉低。这样,在下拉节点PD的电压的控制下,第一降噪子电路600和第二降噪子电路700均关闭。
示例性的,参考图4和图6,在输入子电路100包括第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2、第三晶体管M3和第一电容器C1;输出子电路300包括第五 晶体管M5、第六晶体管M6和第二电容器C2;下拉控制子电路500包括第八晶体管M8和第九晶体管M9;第一降噪子电路600包括第十晶体管M10;第二降噪子电路700包括第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12的情况下,输出阶段S3包括:
第二电容器C2对上拉节点PU进行放电,上拉节点PU维持高电平电压,第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6导通,分别将在第二时钟信号端CLK2处第二时钟信号clk2传输至级联信号输出端Oput_c和扫描信号输出端Oput_o。并且在该阶段中,第二电容器C2在级联信号输出端Oput_c输出的高电平电压的作用下,通过自举进一步的抬升上拉节点PU的电位。
另外,在上拉节点PU的高电压的控制下,第九晶体管M9导通,将在第一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至至下拉节点PD,从而将下拉节点PD的电位拉低。这样,在下拉节点PD的电压的控制下,第十晶体管M10、第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12均截止。
复位阶段S4:
向复位信号端RST输入复位信号reset,此时复位信号reset的电平为高电平,的第三时钟信号clk3的电平为高电平,在第三时钟信号端CLK3(第三系统时钟信号端ck3)所传输的第三时钟信号clk3的控制下,下拉控制子电路500开启,将在复位信号端RST处接收的复位信号reset传输至下拉节点PD,以拉高下拉节点PD的电位。
在下拉节点PD的电压的控制下,第一降噪子电路600开启,将在第一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至上拉节点PU,以对上拉节点PU进行复位。并且在下拉节点PD的电压的控制下,第二降噪子电路700开启,将在第一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至级联信号输出端Oput_c和扫描信号输出端Oput_o,以对级联信号输出端Oput_c和扫描信号输出端Oput_o进行复位。
示例性的,参考图4和图6,在下拉控制子电路500包括第八晶体管M8和第九晶体管M9;第一降噪子电路600包括第十晶体管M10;第二降噪子电路700包括第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12的情况下,复位阶段S4包括:
向复位信号端RST输入复位信号reset,并在第三时钟信号端CLK3(第三系统时钟信号端ck3)的高电平电压的控制下,第八晶体管M8导通,将在复位信号端RST处接收的复位信号reset传输至下拉节点PD。
在下拉节点PD的高电平电压的控制下,第十晶体管M10导通,将在第 一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至上拉节点PU,以对上拉节点PU进行复位。同时在下拉节点PD的高电平电压的控制下,第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12导通,将在第一电压信号端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至级联信号输出端Oput_c和扫描信号输出端Oput_o,以对级联信号输出端Oput_c和扫描信号输出端Oput_o进行复位。
在复位阶段S4之后到下一图像帧,上拉节点PU和下拉节点PD维持复位阶段S4的状态,即上拉节点PU的电位为低电位,下拉节点PD的电位为高电位。在下拉节点PD的电压的控制下,第一降噪子电路600和第二降噪子电路700开启(即第十晶体管M10、第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12导通),将在第一电压端VGL处接收的第一电压信号vgl传输至上拉节点PU、级联信号输出端Oput_c和扫描信号输出端Oput_o,进行降噪。

在一些实施例中,移位寄存器中所采用的各晶体管的控制极为晶体管的栅极,第一极为晶体管的源极和漏极中一者,第二极为晶体管的源极和漏极中另一者。由于晶体管的源极、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,也就是说,本公开的实施例中的晶体管的第一极和第二极在结构上可以是没有区别的。示例性的,在晶体管为P型晶体管的情况下,晶体管的第一极为源极,第二极为漏极;示例性的,在晶体管为N型晶体管的情况下,晶体管的第一极为漏极,第二极为源极。
另外,在本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器中,晶体管均以N型晶体管为例进行说明。需要说明的是,本公开的实施例包括但不限于此。例如,本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器中的一个或多个晶体管也可以采用P型晶体 管,只需将选定类型的晶体管的各极参照本公开的实施例中的相应晶体管的各极相应连接,并且使相应的电压端提供对应的高电压或低电压即可。
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,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。
