[0070] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0071] In actual use, OLED displays are often in a state of looping video playback. Due to the influence of the driving circuit and device structure, when the display switches the display screen, the brightness of the first frame is usually only 60% of the required brightness. For the more sensitive human eye, the phenomenon seen is that there will be a ghosting in the first frame after the screen is switched. The first frame response or first frame brightness ratio (FFR) is usually used to characterize this phenomenon. The higher the FFR value, the less obvious the ghosting.

[0072] The present disclosure provides a gate driving circuit, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2a As shown, the gate drive circuit includes: a first frame start signal line 11 and a cascade circuit 12. The first frame start signal line 11 is connected to the first input terminal Input1 of the cascade circuit 12, and the first frame start signal line 11 is configured to: transmit the first frame start signal GSTV1 to the cascade circuit 12 in the first display stage. The cascade circuit 12 includes a plurality of shift registers 13 cascaded to each other, each shift register 13 is connected to a clock signal line 14, and the cascade circuit 12 is configured to: output the first scanning signal G1 step by step according to the first frame start signal GSTV1 and the clock signal GCK input by the clock signal line 14.

[0073] like Figure 2a As shown, the effective level of the first frame start signal GSTV1 in one cycle overlaps with a plurality of pulse signals of the clock signal GCK, and the first scan signal G1 includes a plurality of scan pulse signals in one cycle.

[0074] In this disclosure, "a cycle" refers to a frame cycle (e.g. Figure 2a 1Frame), that is, when the display panel displays multiple frames, the display period of each frame is the inverse of the refresh frequency of the display panel.

[0075] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 The output terminal Output of the shift register 13 and the writing module 81 in the pixel driving circuit 51 can be connected through the scanning signal line gate, and the scanning signal line gate is connected to the scanning signal terminal Vgate of the writing module 81. The writing module 81 is used to write the data signal into the pixel driving circuit 51 under the control of the first scanning signal G1.

[0076] For example, in Figure 2a In the embodiment, the effective level of the first frame start signal GSTV1 in one cycle overlaps with three pulse signals of the clock signal GCK.

[0077] In some embodiments, the number of pulse signals of which the effective level of the first frame start signal GSTV1 overlaps with the clock signal GCK in one cycle is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 5. Figure 2a As shown, the number of pulse signals of which the effective level of the first frame start signal GSTV1 overlaps with the clock signal GCK in one cycle is 3.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 2a As shown, the effective level of the first frame start signal GSTV1 is a low level.

[0079] For example, in the cascade circuit 12, the input terminal Input of the first stage shift register GOA1 is connected to the first input terminal Input1 of the cascade circuit 12, or is multiplexed as the first input terminal Input1 of the cascade circuit 12 (eg Figure 1 shown).

[0080] In some embodiments, in the cascade circuit 12, the output terminal Output of the E-th stage shift register 13 is connected to the input terminal Input of the E+F-th stage shift register 13, and the output terminal Output of the M-th stage shift register 13 is connected to the reset terminal Rst of the MN-th stage shift register 13, wherein 1≤E<H, F≥1, E+F≤H, 1<M≤H, 1≤N<M, and E, F, H, M and N are all positive integers, and H is the total number of shift registers 13 in the cascade circuit 12.

[0081] For example, Figure 1 As shown, F = N = 1. Figure 1 In the embodiment, for each stage of the shift register 13, the first scanning signal G1 outputted by the shift register 13 can be outputted to the scanning signal line gate, and can also be used as the start signal of the next stage of the shift register 13 and the reset signal of the previous stage of the shift register 13. In the first display stage, the start signal of the first stage of the shift register GOA1 is the first frame start signal GSTV1, the first stage of the shift register GOA1 may not output the reset signal, and the last stage of the shift register 13 may be connected to a row of redundant shift registers 13 to realize the reset of the last stage of the shift register 13.

[0082] For example, Figure 2b As shown, the shift register 13 may include a charging module 21, an output module 22, a storage capacitor C and a reset module 23. The charging module 21 is respectively connected to the input terminal Input and the pull-up node PU of the shift register 13, and is used to write the signal of the input terminal Input into the pull-up node PU according to the signal of the input terminal Input; the output module 22 is respectively connected to the clock signal input terminal GCK, the pull-up node PU and the output terminal Output, and is used to write the clock signal of the clock signal input terminal GCK into the output terminal Output according to the potential of the pull-up node PU; the storage capacitor C is connected between the pull-up node PU and the output terminal Output, and is used to store the voltage of the pull-up node PU; the reset module 23 is respectively connected to the reset terminal Rst, the reset signal terminal VSS, the pull-up node PU and the output terminal Output, and is used to write the signal of the reset signal terminal VSS into the pull-up node PU and the output terminal Output according to the signal of the reset terminal Rst.

[0083] like Figure 2bAs shown, the charging module 21 includes a transistor M1, the control electrode and the first electrode of the transistor M1 are connected to the input terminal Input of the shift register 13, and the second electrode of the transistor M1 is connected to the pull-up node PU. The output module 22 includes a transistor M3, the control electrode of the transistor M3 is connected to the pull-up node PU, the first electrode of the transistor M3 is connected to the clock signal input terminal GCK, and the second electrode of the transistor M3 is connected to the output terminal Output of the shift register 13. The reset module 23 includes a transistor M2 and a transistor M4, the control electrode of the transistor M2 is connected to the pull-down node PD, the first electrode of the transistor M2 is connected to the reset signal terminal VSS, the second electrode of the transistor M2 is connected to the pull-up node PU, the control electrode of the transistor M4 is connected to the pull-down node PD, the first electrode of the transistor M4 is connected to the reset signal terminal VSS, and the second electrode of the transistor M4 is connected to the output terminal Output. Figure 2b In the embodiment, transistors M1 to M4 are all P-type transistors.

[0084] like Figure 2a As shown, in the first display stage, the first frame start signal line 11 provides the first frame start signal GSTV1 to the input end of the first stage shift register GOA1. Figure 2b As shown, when the input terminal Input of the first-stage shift register GOA1 is connected to the low-level first frame start signal GSTV1, the transistor M1 is turned on, the potential of the pull-up node PU is low, and the transistor M3 is also in the on state, so that the signal of the clock signal input terminal GCK is written into the output terminal Output, and then the first scanning signal is output. Figure 2a As shown, due to the effective level stage of the first frame start signal GSTV1 in one cycle (such as Figure 2a The low level phase shown in the figure) overlaps with three pulse signals of the clock signal GCK, so the first scanning signal output by the output terminal Output includes three scanning pulse signals in one cycle.

[0085] In this way, the cascade circuit 12 generates the multi-pulse first scanning signal G1 step by step under the action of the first frame start signal GSTV1 and the clock signal GCK. In the cascade circuit 12, the working process of the shift registers 13 of each stage after the first stage shift register GOA1 is similar to that of the first stage shift register GOA1, and will not be repeated here. It can be understood that the number of pulse signals whose effective level of the first frame start signal GSTV1 overlaps with the clock signal GCK in one cycle is the same as the number of scanning pulse signals included in the first scanning signal G1 in one cycle.

[0086] When the gate driving circuit 10 provided by the present disclosure is applied to a display panel, Figure 5 The display panel may include: a pixel driving circuit 51, a light emitting device 52 (such as Figure 8As shown), a scanning signal line gate and a data signal line data, an output terminal Output of a shift register 13 is connected to a scanning signal line gate, and a signal output by the output terminal Output is transmitted to the pixel driving circuit 51 through the scanning signal line gate, and then the pixel driving circuit 51 writes the data signal input by the data signal line data into the pixel driving circuit 51 according to the signal of the scanning signal line gate (as shown). Figure 8 The gate of the driving transistor T3 shown, ie, the third node N3), drives the light emitting device 52 to emit light.

[0087] Since the first scanning signal G1 has multiple scanning pulse signals within one cycle, when the gate driving circuit 10 provided by the present disclosure is applied to a display panel, the pixel driving circuit 51, under the control of the first scanning signal G1, can perform multiple voltage biases on the gate of the driving transistor T3 before the light-emitting device 52 emits light, thereby compensating the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3 multiple times, so that the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3 is shifted toward the negative direction, thereby reducing the difference between the threshold voltages in the compensation stage and the light-emitting stage, thereby improving the brightness of the display screen.

[0088] The inventor tested the change of brightness of two display panels displaying the same picture for multiple frames over time. The first display panel adopts the gate drive circuit provided by the present disclosure. The test results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the second display panel adopts the gate driving circuit in the related art (the output scanning signal includes a scanning pulse signal in one cycle), and the test results are as follows Figure 4 In the display panel showing the same picture in a continuous multi-frame picture, the brightness ratio of the first frame picture to the preset frame picture is the FFR value. The preset frame picture can be any frame picture after the above same picture is stably displayed. Here, the fourth frame picture is taken as the preset frame picture. Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be found that the first frame start brightness and end brightness of the first display panel are greatly improved, and the fourth frame brightness of the two display panels is basically the same. Therefore, the gate drive circuit 10 provided by the present disclosure can significantly improve the FFR value of the display panel and improve the ghosting problem of the first frame displayed after switching the screen.

[0089] It should be noted that the first display stage may include the first frame display stage after the switching screen, and may also include any frame display stage after the switching screen is stably displayed, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first display stage includes the first frame to the fifth frame display stage after the screen is switched.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first display stage may be the entire display stage of the display panel, that is, each frame display in the entire display stage uses the first frame start signal GSTV1 as the start signal of the cascade circuit 12 .

[0091] The inventors have found that when the first frame start signal GSTV1 is used as the start signal of the cascade circuit 12 during the entire display process, a "virtual edge" defect will be generated at the edge of the display screen, such as Figure 6 The inventor analyzed the defect and found Figure 5 In the display panel shown, a plurality of pixel driving circuits 51 are arranged in rows and columns. Assuming that the (n+5th) row is the last row of pixel driving circuits 51, the gate driving circuit 10 adopts the Figure 2a The first frame start signal GSTV1 is shown as driven, referring to Figure 7 Shows Figure 5 As shown in the driving signal timing diagram of the display panel, when the pixel driving circuits 51 of the (n+1)th row and the previous row are writing data signals, the data signal line data will write signals to the pixel driving circuits 51 of 3 rows at the same time; and when the pixel driving circuits 51 of the (n+2)th row to the (n+5)th row are writing data signals, the data signal line data will write signals to 2 or 1 row of pixel driving circuits 51 at the same time. This results in a larger voltage at the third node N3 (i.e., the gate of the driving transistor T3) in the pixel driving circuits 51 of the (n+2)th row to the (n+5)th row near the edge, resulting in a darkening phenomenon in a bright screen, and then Figure 6 The dark "virtual edge" phenomenon near the middle border.

[0092] In order to avoid this abnormal display phenomenon, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gate drive circuit also includes: a second frame start signal line 15, the second frame start signal line 15 is connected to the second input terminal Input2 of the cascade circuit 12, and the second frame start signal line 15 is configured to: transmit the second frame start signal GSTV2 to the cascade circuit 12 in the second display stage. Correspondingly, the cascade circuit 12 is also configured to: output the second scan signal G2 step by step according to the second frame start signal GSTV2 and the clock signal GCK. Among them, the number of pulse signals whose effective level of the second frame start signal GSTV2 overlaps with the clock signal GCK in one cycle is less than the number of pulse signals whose effective level of the first frame start signal GSTV1 overlaps with the clock signal GCK in one cycle, and the number of scan pulse signals included in the second scan signal G2 in one cycle is greater than or equal to 1, and is less than the number of scan pulse signals included in the first scan signal G1 in one cycle.

[0093] For example, in Figure 2aIn the embodiment, the effective level of the second frame start signal GSTV2 in one cycle overlaps with one pulse signal of the clock signal GCK. That is, the number of pulse signals of the second frame start signal GSTV2 overlapping with the effective level of the clock signal GCK in one cycle is one.

[0094] For example, in the cascade circuit 12, the input terminal Input of the first stage shift register GOA1 is connected to the second input terminal Input2 of the cascade circuit 12, or is multiplexed as the second input terminal Input2 of the cascade circuit 12 (eg Figure 1 shown).

[0095] In the second display stage, the start signal of the first-stage shift register GOA1 is the second frame start signal GSTV2. Thus, in the second display stage, the cascade circuit 12 generates the second scan signal G2 step by step under the action of the second frame start signal GSTV2 and the clock signal GCK. It can be understood that the number of pulse signals whose effective level of the second frame start signal GSTV2 overlaps with the clock signal GCK in one cycle is the same as the number of scan pulse signals included in the second scan signal G2 in one cycle. When the number of pulse signals whose effective level of the second frame start signal GSTV2 overlaps with the clock signal GCK in one cycle is 1, under the triggering of the second frame start signal GSTV2, the cascade circuit 12 outputs the second scan signal G2 having one scan pulse signal in one cycle.

[0096] In some embodiments, the second frame start signal GSTV2 has the same voltage as the active level of the first frame start signal GSTV1.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first display stage may be the first frame display stage after the screen is switched, and the second display stage may be any frame display stage after the switched screen is stably displayed, such as the second frame display stage, the third frame display stage, etc.

[0098] Reference Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the structure of a display device is shown. Fig. 9 As shown, the display device includes a display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) and a display panel (Panel), and the DDIC is connected to the application processor (AP) via a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI). Figure 5When the display panel shown in the figure is used, the DDIC can start the judgment mechanism according to the display data sent by the AP end. For example, the display data of two adjacent frames, such as the display data of the previous frame and the display data of the next frame, can be compared. If the display data of the previous frame is different from the display data of the next frame (such as Figure 2a As shown, the previous frame display data is data a, and the next frame display data is data b), that is, the next frame display data is updated, and the first frame display corresponding to the switching screen is performed. In this case, the steps in the first display stage are performed, and the first frame start signal GSTV1 is used as the start signal of the first-stage shift register GOA1, and the second frame start signal GSTV2 in the second frame start signal line 15 will automatically Hiz off (that is, in a high-impedance state). If the previous frame display data is the same as the next frame display data, that is, the next frame display data is not updated, and the same screen as the previous frame display data is displayed, in this case, the steps in the second display stage can be performed, and the second frame start signal GSTV2 is used as the start signal of the first-stage shift register GOA1, and the first frame start signal GSTV1 in the first frame start signal line 11 will automatically Hiz off (that is, in a high-impedance state).

[0099] In this way, by driving the cascade circuit 12 differently in stages, the "virtual edge" problem can be solved, and the display brightness of the first frame of the switching screen can be improved, the FFR value can be improved, and the ghosting problem can be solved.
