The level states of the first level signal VDS and the second level signal VSD can be changed according to different timing signals of the driving circuit 10.
[0045] The control end of the first switch tube T1 is connected to the output end of the signal input circuit 11 , the first end of the first switch tube T1 receives the clock signal CLK, and the clock signal CLK is output from the second end of the first switch tube T1 .
[0046] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first switch tube T1 is a TFT (Thin Film Transistor), and the control end, the first end and the second end of the first switch tube T1 are respectively the gate, the source and the drain of the first switch tube T1. Optionally, in other embodiments, the first switch tube T1 may also be a triode or other switch element.
[0047] The boost circuit 12 is connected between the output end of the signal input circuit 11 and the control end of the first switch tube T1, and is used to boost the first write signal GN-8 or the second write signal GN+8 to obtain a start voltage, which is used to control the first switch tube T1 to turn on.

[0049] In this embodiment, a first node a is formed between the second end of the first switch tube T1 and the voltage mixing circuit 13 , and the DC signal VDC and the clock signal CLK are superimposed at the first node a to obtain a driving output signal GN output by the driving circuit 10 .
[0050] Specifically, the driving circuit 10 described in this embodiment is a level transmission control system, specifically an 8-level level transmission control system. The driving signal output by the driving circuit 10 in this embodiment is eight-level one-transmission, that is, the driving output signal GN output by the first level can be used as the write signal of the ninth level.
[0051] Optionally, in other embodiments, the driving circuit 10 may also perform 4-stage transmission, and control the corresponding stage to output the corresponding driving output signal GN according to the corresponding timing signal of the driving circuit 10 .
[0052] Combination Figure 1 , see further Figure 2 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment of the driving circuit of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the voltage mixing circuit 13 of this embodiment includes a second switch tube T2, the control end of the second switch tube T2 is connected to the boost circuit 12 to receive the startup voltage, and the second switch tube T2 is turned on based on the startup voltage, the first end of the second switch tube T2 receives the DC signal VDC, and the second end of the second switch tube T2 is connected to the first node a.
[0053] The boost circuit 12 includes a bootstrap capacitor C, a first end of the bootstrap capacitor C is connected to the output end of the signal input circuit 11, the control end of the second switch tube T2 and the control end of the first switch tube T1, and a second end of the bootstrap capacitor C is connected to the second end of the second switch tube T2 and the second end of the first switch tube T1.
[0054] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second switch tube T2 is a TFT, and the control end, the first end and the second end of the second switch tube T2 are respectively the gate, the source and the drain of the second switch tube T2.
[0055] Specifically, a second node b is formed between the first end of the bootstrap capacitor C, the output end of the signal input circuit 11, the control end of the second switch tube T2, and the control end of the first switch tube T1. The bootstrap capacitor C receives the DC signal VDC and charges it, and when the first write signal GN-8 or the second write signal GN+8 is transmitted to the second node b, the voltage of the second node b is adjusted to the start-up voltage. That is, this embodiment realizes the bootstrap of the second node b through the bootstrap function of the bootstrap capacitor C, and raises the voltage value of the second node b so that its voltage value reaches the start-up voltage of the first switch tube T1 and the second switch tube T2.
[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving circuit 10 further includes a reset circuit 14, and the reset circuit 14 includes a third switch tube T3 and a fourth switch tube T4.
[0057] Specifically, the first end of the third switch tube T3 is connected to the first node a, and the control end of the third switch tube T3 receives the first reset signal STV5 to reset the voltage of the first node a to zero level based on the first reset signal STV5.
[0058] A first end of the fourth switch tube T4 is connected to the second node b, and a control end of the fourth switch tube T4 receives the second reset signal STV0 to reset the voltage of the second node b to zero level based on the second reset signal STV0.
[0059] Optionally, in this embodiment, the third switch tube T3 and the fourth switch tube T4 are both TFTs, and the control end, the first end and the second end of the third switch tube T3 and the fourth switch tube T4 are the gate, the source and the drain of the third switch tube T3 and the fourth switch tube T4 respectively.
[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving circuit 10 further includes a voltage clamping circuit 15, and the voltage clamping circuit 15 includes a fifth switch tube T5, a sixth switch tube T6 and a seventh switch tube T7.
[0061] Specifically, a first end of the fifth switch tube T5 is connected to the second end of the third switch tube T3, a second end of the fifth switch tube T5 is connected to the second end of the seventh switch tube T7, a control end of the fifth switch tube T5 is connected to the second node b, a first end of the sixth switch tube T6 is connected to the second end of the fourth switch tube T4, a second end of the sixth switch tube T6 is connected to the control end and the first end of the seventh switch tube T7, a control end of the sixth switch tube T6 is connected to the control end of the fifth switch tube T5, that is, connected to the second node b, and a first end of the seventh switch tube T7 receives the high level signal OCH.
[0062] Among them, a third node c is formed between the second end of the fifth switch tube T5 and the second end of the seventh switch tube T7, and the potentials of the third node c and the second node b are mutually clamped. Specifically, it can be understood that when the second node b is at a low level, the seventh switch tube T7 is not turned on, and at this time the voltage of the third node c is equal to the high-level signal OCH, that is, the third node c is at a high level; when the second node b is at a high level, the seventh switch tube T7 is turned on, and at this time the third node c is suspended, that is, the third node c is at a low level.
[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fifth switch tube T5, the sixth switch tube T6 and the seventh switch tube T7 are all TFTs, the control end, the first end and the second end of the fifth switch tube T5 are respectively the gate, the source and the drain of the fifth switch tube T5, the control end, the first end and the second end of the sixth switch tube T6 are respectively the gate, the source and the drain of the sixth switch tube T6, and the control end, the first end and the second end of the seventh switch tube T7 are respectively the gate, the drain and the source of the seventh switch tube T7.
[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving circuit 10 further includes a noise reduction circuit 16, and the noise reduction circuit 16 includes an eighth switch tube T8 and a ninth switch tube T9.
[0065] Specifically, the first end of the eighth switch tube T8 is connected to the first node a, the second end of the eighth switch tube T8 is connected to the first end of the ninth switch tube T9, the control end of the eighth switch tube T8 is connected to the control end of the ninth switch tube T9 and the third node c, and the second end of the ninth switch tube T9 is connected to the second node b.
[0066] Among them, a fourth node d is formed between the second end of the eighth switch tube T8 and the first end of the ninth switch tube T9, a fifth node e is formed between the first end of the fifth switch tube T5 and the second end of the third switch tube T3, and a sixth node f is formed between the first end of the sixth switch tube T6 and the second end of the fourth switch tube T4. The fourth node d, the fifth node e and the sixth node f respectively receive the noise reduction signal VCL to filter out noise signals in the first write signal GN-8, the second write signal GN+8, the DC signal VDS and / or the clock signal CLK.
[0067] Optionally, in this embodiment, the eighth switch tube T8 and the ninth switch tube T9 are both TFTs, and the control end, the first end and the second end of the eighth switch tube T8 and the ninth switch tube T9 are the gate, the source and the drain of the eighth switch tube T8 and the ninth switch tube T9 respectively.
[0068] like Figure 2As shown, the signal input circuit 11 includes a tenth switch tube T10 and an eleventh switch tube T11. Specifically, a first end of the tenth switch tube T10 receives a first level signal VDS, a control end of the tenth switch tube T10 receives a first write signal GN-8, a first end of the eleventh switch tube T11 receives a second level signal VSD, a control end of the eleventh switch tube T11 receives a second write signal GN+8, and a second end of the tenth switch tube T10 is connected to a second end of the eleventh switch tube T11 and a second node b.
[0069] Optionally, in this embodiment, the tenth switch tube T10 and the eleventh switch tube T11 are both TFTs, and the control end, the first end and the second end of the tenth switch tube T10 and the eleventh switch tube T11 are the gate, the source and the drain of the tenth switch tube T10 and the eleventh switch tube T11 respectively.
[0070] Since the driving circuit 10 described in this embodiment sets the level states of the first level signal VDS and the second level signal VSD based on different timing signals, the level states of the second node b connected to the output end of the signal input circuit 11 are also different at different timings.
[0071] For example, when the first level signal VDS is a high level signal and the second level signal VSD is a low level signal, in the first timing sequence, the tenth switch tube T10 is turned on and writes the first write signal GN-8, and the level of the second node b is a high level; in the second timing sequence, the eleventh switch tube T11 is turned on and writes the second write signal GN+8, and the level of the second node b is a low level.
[0072] Alternatively, when the first level signal VDS is a low level signal and the second level signal VSD is a high level signal, in the first timing sequence, the tenth switch tube T10 is turned on and writes the first write signal GN-8, and the level of the second node b is a low level; in the second timing sequence, the eleventh switch tube T11 is turned on and writes the second write signal GN+8, and the level of the second node b is a high level.
[0073] Optionally, one clock cycle of the timing signal received by the driving circuit 10 of this embodiment includes at least one first timing and at least one second timing, and the first timing and the second timing are cyclical.
[0074] The driving circuit 10 of the present application controls the overall level transmission relationship of the driving circuit 10 through the tenth switch tube T10 and the eleventh switch tube T11 of the signal input circuit 11, and specifically performs switch control through the first level signal VDS and the second level signal VSD; when the signal output by the signal input circuit 11 is at a high level, the second node b is bootstrapped through the bootstrap capacitor C, and the first switch tube T1 and the second switch tube T2 are turned on, so that the driving output signal GN finally output by the driving circuit 10 is formed by the superposition of the clock signal CLK and the DC signal VDS, which can improve the pre-charging effect of the driving circuit 10 under low temperature conditions, and the output of the driving output signal GN is more stable.
[0075] Since the driving circuit 10 of this embodiment is used to solve the problem of GDL circuit pre-charge difference and output waveform difference under low temperature conditions in the prior art, the corresponding waveform diagram of the first node a and the second node b of the driving circuit 10 before and after the mixing circuit 13 is added can be obtained by testing at a low temperature of -20°C. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , see further Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 is a waveform diagram of the first node of this application, Figure 4 This is a waveform diagram of the second node of this application.
[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, curve S1 is a waveform diagram of the first node a before the voltage mixing circuit 13 is added to the driving circuit 10, and curve S2 is a waveform diagram of the first node a after the voltage mixing circuit 13 is added to the driving circuit 10. Comparing curve S1 and curve S2, it can be seen that after the voltage mixing circuit 13 is added, the driving output signal output by the original driving circuit 10 is decomposed into a component associated with the output of the DC signal VDS and a component associated with the output of the clock signal CLK, which can make the output driving output signal GN reach the maximum voltage value faster, and its duration at the maximum voltage value is also increased, that is, the output driving output signal GN is closer to the square wave signal, and its output effect is significantly enhanced, and the output stability is also significantly enhanced.
[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, curve S3 is a waveform diagram of the second node b before the driving circuit 10 is not added with the voltage mixing circuit 13, and curve S4 is a waveform diagram of the second node b after the driving circuit 10 is added with the voltage mixing circuit 13. Comparing curve S3 and curve S4, it can be seen that after adding the voltage mixing circuit 13, the second node b can be boosted to a voltage greater than the original pre-charge voltage value in the pre-charge stage, thereby improving the pre-charge effect; and in the bootstrap stage, the waveform of curve S4 is also more stable than that of curve S3, thereby improving the bootstrap effect.
[0078] Optionally, the voltage value of the driving output signal GN can be recorded as Z, the voltage value of the component output by the associated DC signal VDS can be recorded as X, and the voltage value of the component output by the associated clock signal CLK can be recorded as Y. The values of X and Y are limited. The size of the first switch tube T1 of the clock signal CLK needs to ensure that the driving circuit 10 can work normally. The specific value is 1900, and the size of the second switch tube T2 can be 20.
[0079] The present application also provides a display panel, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the display panel 20 of this embodiment includes a substrate 21 and a multi-stage driving circuit 22, wherein the substrate 21 includes a display area 211, and the multi-stage driving circuit 22 is arrayed in the display area 211 of the substrate 21. The driving circuit 22 is the driving circuit 10 described in any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0080] Specifically, the driving output signal GN of the driving circuit 22 is used as a write signal of the next-stage driving circuit 22. For example, the driving output signal GN output by the first-stage driving circuit 22 can be used as a write signal of the fifth-stage driving circuit 22, the driving output signal GN output by the second-stage driving circuit 22 can be used as a write signal of the sixth-stage driving circuit 22, the driving output signal GN output by the third-stage driving circuit 22 can be used as a write signal of the seventh-stage driving circuit 22, the driving output signal GN output by the fourth-stage driving circuit 22 can be used as a write signal of the eighth-stage driving circuit 22, and so on.
