Detailed Implementation

[0073] The present disclosure will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0074] Figure 1 This is a layout diagram of the display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0075] The display substrate is, for example, a silicon-based OLED display substrate. The substrate of the display substrate is not limited to silicon. In other embodiments, the substrate of the display substrate is a semiconductor substrate such as a silicon-containing substrate, an epitaxial silicon substrate, a silicon-coated insulating substrate, a silicon-germanium substrate, or a gallium arsenide substrate.

[0076] The display substrate contains an array of pixel circuits arranged in the display area. Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) and light-emitting elements that are connected one-to-one with the pixel circuitry. Examples of light-emitting elements include organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and quantum dot light-emitting diodes. The pixel circuitry is fabricated on a semiconductor substrate. Due to the relatively high cost of semiconductor substrates, the size of the light-emitting elements should be as small as possible to increase the pixel density (PPI).

[0077] A gate driving circuit is disposed outside the display area AA of the display substrate. The gate driving circuit includes multiple cascaded single-stage gate driving circuits (GIPs). Each single-stage gate driving circuit (GIP) can, for example, provide gate control signals for a row of pixel circuits.

[0078] Figure 2FIG. 1 is a plan layout of a single-stage gate driving circuit (GIP) in a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of a single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 of two adjacent single-stage shift register circuits GIP according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0079] Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 includes four D flip-flops D1, D2, D3 and D4. The cascaded single-stage shift register circuits Cell1 receive the same clock signal. In two adjacent single-stage shift register circuits Cell1, the output terminal Q of the D flip-flop D1 of the former single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 is connected to the input terminal D of the D flip-flop D1 of the latter single-stage shift register circuit Cell1, the output terminal Q of the D flip-flop D2 of the former single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 is connected to the input terminal D of the D flip-flop D2 of the latter single-stage shift register circuit Cell1, the output terminal Q of the D flip-flop D3 of the former single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 is connected to the input terminal D of the D flip-flop D3 of the latter single-stage shift register circuit Cell1, and the output terminal Q of the D flip-flop D4 of the former single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 is connected to the input terminal D of the D flip-flop D4 of the latter single-stage shift register circuit Cell1.

[0080] The waveforms of the signals output by the respective D flip-flops D1, D2, D3 and D4 in the first single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 of the cascaded single-stage shift register circuits Cell1 are different, so that the cascaded single-stage shift register circuits Cell1 can simultaneously transmit four signal waveforms.

[0081] For example, the D flip-flops D1, D2, D3 and D4 each transmit a high-level pulse, and the phases are sequentially delayed by one clock cycle. Then, the single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 is equivalent to sequentially transmitting the codes (1, 0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1, 0) and (0, 0, 0, 1) to the latter single-stage shift register circuit. The above example only indicates that the state output of at least one D flip-flop is different from the state outputs of the other D flip-flops in the same clock cycle.

[0082] The logic operation circuit Cell2 is configured to perform logic operation on the output terminals and / or the inverted output terminals of the respective D flip-flops of the single-stage shift register circuit Cell1, so as to obtain a plurality of output signals with different waveforms. That is, the logic operation circuit Cell2 maps the aforementioned code sequence into driving signals with different waveforms.

[0083] In some embodiments, the logic operation circuit Cell2 includes: inverters, NAND gates, transmission gates, NOR gates, latches, transmission gates, etc. In some embodiments, the logic operation circuit Cell2 also receives a global control signal as an input signal of some of the gates or devices.

[0084] Figure 4 is a circuit diagram of a part of the logic operation circuit Cell2 of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0085] The state output of the D flip-flop D3 is denoted as D3_Q, the state output of the D flip-flop D2 is denoted as D2_Q, the state output of the D flip-flop D4 is denoted as D4_Q, and the global reset signal is denoted as RESET.

[0086] Figure 4 The function of the circuit shown is to provide a pulse signal for the first level conversion circuit Level Shift1. The logic operation circuit Cell2 also provides pulse signals to the second level conversion circuit Level Shift2 and the third level conversion circuit Level Shift3. The waveforms of the three pulse signals are different.

[0087] The first, second and third level conversion circuits Level Shift1, Level Shift2 and Level Shift3 can convert the high voltage or low voltage of the pulse signal. For example, the low voltage can be converted from 0V to -3V or -5V. Thus, a low enough off voltage is provided for the NMOS transistor in the display area, or a low enough on voltage is provided for the PMOS transistor in the display area.

[0088] The first, second and third drive output circuits Driver1, Driver2 and Driver3 respectively buffer the pulse signals output by the first, second and third level conversion circuits Level Shift1, Level Shift2 and Level Shift3, and provide three different pulse signals to three gate lines. The three gate lines are connected to three signal terminals in the pixel circuit.

[0089] Figure 5 is a circuit diagram of a part of the logic operation circuit Cell2 of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 6 is Figure 5 is a timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown.

[0090] Figure 5The pixel circuit shown comprises four transistors T1, T2, T3 and T4, two capacitors C1 and C2. A power supply terminal ELVDD provides a high-level power supply voltage for the pixel circuit, a ground terminal GND provides a ground signal, and a common electrode VCOM provides a common voltage. A voltage output terminal Driver1_Out of a first drive output circuit Driver1 is connected to the control electrode of the transistor T3; a voltage output terminal Driver2_Out of a second drive output circuit Driver2 is connected to the control electrode of the transistor T4; and a voltage output terminal Driver3_Out of a third drive output circuit Driver3 is connected to the control electrode of the transistor T1.

[0091] From Figure 6 It can be seen that the logic operation circuit Cell2 maps the state sequence of the single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 into three different waveforms.

[0092] The present disclosure does not limit the specific logic definition of the logic operation circuit, the definition of the state sequence of the single-stage shift register circuit Cell1, and the circuit structure of the pixel circuit. The above is only a division of the functional modules of the single-stage shift register circuit.

[0093] In some other embodiments, the logic operation circuit Cell2 receives a negative power supply voltage, so that the level conversion circuit can be omitted.

[0094] In these embodiments, the output terminal of the logic operation circuit is connected to the input terminal of the drive output circuit through an inverter.

[0095] In some embodiments, the single-stage shift register circuit, the logic circuit and the drive output circuit are arranged in a row along a first direction, the first direction being the connection direction of the gate drive circuit and the display area, and the plurality of pixel circuits are located in the display area.

[0096] Figure 7 is Figure 1 An exemplary schematic diagram of a cross-sectional view of the display substrate shown.

[0097] A deep N-well DNWELL is formed in the P-substrate PSUB, and then a P-well PWELL (for forming NMOS transistors therein) is formed in the deep N-well DNWELL, and an N-well (for forming PMOS transistors therein) is formed in the deep N-well DNWELL. The first, second and third level shift circuits Level Shift 1, Level Shift 2, Level Shift 3, the first, second and third driver output circuits Driver 1, Driver 2, Driver 3, and the pixel circuits in the display area AA all have negative working voltages, and in order to improve the process consistency, these circuits are fabricated in the same deep N-well DNWELL. Further, the deep N-well DNWELL area where the first, second and third level shift circuits Level Shift 1, Level Shift 2, Level Shift 3, the first, second and third driver output circuits Driver 1, Driver 2, Driver 3 are located can be regarded as a dummy area of the display area AA, which also greatly improves the process consistency of the pixel circuits and the like in the display area AA.

[0098] The single-stage shift register circuit Cell 1, the logic operation circuit Cell 2 do not need to be set in the deep N-well because they do not need negative working voltages.

[0099] Figure 9 Fig. 4 schematically shows a planar NMOS transistor and a planar PMOS transistor located outside the deep N-well DNWELL, and a planar NMOS transistor and a planar PMOS transistor located in the deep N-well DNWELL.

[0100] The NMOS transistor is set in the P-well PWELL, the source region and the drain region are N-type heavily doped regions N+, the gate insulating layer GI covers the source region, the drain region and the channel region therebetween, and the gate electrode G is set on the gate insulating layer GI. A P-type heavily doped region P+ is set in the top surface of the P-well PWELL for connecting a substrate electrode (not shown).

[0101] The PMOS transistor is set in the N-well NWELL, the source region and the drain region are P-type heavily doped regions P+, the gate insulating layer GI covers the source region, the drain region and the channel region therebetween, and the gate electrode G is set on the gate insulating layer GI. An N-type heavily doped region N+ is set in the top surface of the N-well NWELL for connecting a substrate electrode (not shown).

[0102] Referring again to Figure 2The low voltage of the working voltage of the first level shift circuit Level Shift1 and the first driving output circuit Driver1 is the same, for example, both are -3V. The two circuits are arranged together in the layout design. The low voltage of the working voltage of the second and third level shift circuits Level Shift2, Level Shift3, the second and third driving output circuits Driver2, Driver3 is the same, for example, both are -5V. The two circuits are arranged together in the layout design.

[0103] The first driving output circuit Driver1 is closer to the display area AA than the first level shift circuit Level Shift1. The second and third driving output circuits Driver2, Driver3 are closer to the display area AA than the second and third level shift circuits Level Shift2, Level Shift3.

[0104] The driving output circuit is closer to the display area AA, which can shorten the length of the wire from the driving output circuit to the display area AA and improve the driving capability of the driving output circuit.

[0106] The first direction is the direction of the connection of the single-stage gate drive circuit and the display area AA, and the second direction is the arrangement direction of the single-stage gate drive circuit. In this example, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0107] Figure 8 Two adjacent single-stage gate drive circuits GIP are shown in

[0108] The substrate electrodes of all the PMOS transistors in the single-stage gate drive circuit GIP are arranged in a row along the first direction and are connected together. The substrate electrodes of all the NMOS transistors in the single-stage gate drive circuit GIP are arranged in a row along the first direction and are connected together.

[0109] The polarities of the two rows of transistors opposite to each other in the two adjacent single-stage gate drive circuits are the same, and share a substrate electrode.

[0110] Such a design can shorten the size of the single-stage gate drive circuit GIP along the second direction and reduce the area of the single-stage gate drive circuit GIP.

[0111] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, continuing to refer to Figure 8The size of the substrate electrode close to the boundary of the active region (source region, drain region and channel region between the two) in the first direction is equal to the size of the active region in the first direction. In this way, the process uniformity can be improved.

[0112] Figure 9 is a partial layout of the single-stage gate drive circuit. Figure 2 is a layout of the metal layer of the single-stage gate drive circuit.

[0113] The single-stage gate drive circuit GIP circuit includes 3 layers of metal wiring: the first metal layer M1, the second metal layer M2 and the third metal layer M3 in the direction away from the substrate. Most of the wires in the first metal layer M1 are used for interconnection between transistors, most of the wires in the second metal layer M2 are used for interconnection between circuit modules (for example, single-stage shift register circuit Cell1 and logic operation circuit Cell2), and most of the wires in the third metal layer M3 are used for interconnection between single-stage gate drive circuits GIP circuits.

[0114] Thanks to the arrangement of the transistors in the single-stage gate drive circuit GIP circuit, 3 layers of metal layers are designed in the gate drive circuit. The number of wiring layers of the metal layer is less.

[0115] Thanks to the arrangement of the transistors in the single-stage gate drive circuit GIP circuit, most of the wires in the second metal layer M2 are extended in the first direction, and most of the wires in the second metal layer are extended in the second direction. In this way, the overlapping area between different metal layers can be reduced, and the parasitic capacitance on the metal layer can be reduced.

[0116] Figure 10 is a partial layout of the single-stage gate drive circuit.

[0117] The single-stage gate drive circuits GIP1, GIP2, …, GIPn are arranged in the second direction, and the single-stage gate drive circuits GIP1, GIP2, …, GIPn correspondingly drive the single-row pixel circuits A1, A2, …, An.

[0118] The size of a pair of MOS tubes in the single-stage gate drive circuits GIP1, GIP2, …, GIPn in the second direction is 5.868um. Correspondingly, the center distance of the pixel circuits in the display area AA in the second direction should be greater than or equal to 5.868um. The display substrate can be suitable for display products with 4k resolution.

[0119] Figure 11 is a partial layout of the single-stage gate drive circuit.

[0120] Voltage drop is significant in DC signal of long signal line. The driving output circuit is the main power consumption circuit module, and the DC power signal line VDD and VSS1 connected to it needs to have a large driving capacity. Reference Figure 11 In the second direction, the DC power signal line VDD and VSS1 in the second metal layer M3 is set, and the width (size in the first direction) of the DC power signal line VDD and VSS1 is 10um or more, which can reduce the wire resistance to 100Ω or less (basically does not affect the circuit performance). The sheet resistance of the DC power signal line VDD and VSS1 is low enough to reduce the influence of the voltage drop on the DC power signal line VDD and VSS1 on the whole column gate drive circuit. The layout design helps to improve the voltage drop on the DC power signal line VDD and VSS1.

[0121] In an example of the present disclosure, the single-stage gate base drive circuit has a first direction size of about 400um and a second direction size of 6.543um, which can be used for narrow frame products, and can also be used for products with pixel size (pixel pitch) greater than or equal to 6.543um.
