[0078] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0079] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "including" is to be interpreted as an open, inclusive meaning, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiment", "example", "specific example" or "some examples" and the like are intended to indicate that specific features, structures, materials or characteristics associated with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. The schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. This is only for the purpose of clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and shall not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0081] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the case where components are connected together through an element having some electrical function. There is no particular limitation on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it can transmit and receive electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.

[0082] In the related art, refer to Figure 1 When the display device is in full screen display, the display area AA is fully displayed, and the driving circuit scans all sub-pixels line by line; when it is necessary to switch the resolution or display partly, refer to Figure 2 When the local area a1 of the display area AA is displayed, all sub-pixels can only be scanned line by line, and the required resolution display is achieved through signal voltage control.

[0083] For example, refer to Figure 3 When the display device only needs to display time, weather or short messages, the local area a1 of the display area AA is small and still needs to be scanned. Figure 3 The pixel row shown in the figure is in the dark state area a2. In this way, the power consumption for realizing local display is relatively large, which seriously reduces the standby time.

[0084] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a driving circuit, referring to Figure 6 As shown, the driving circuit includes: a plurality of driving units arranged in cascade, the driving units being electrically connected to at least one row of sub-pixels, wherein Figure 4 As shown, the drive unit includes:

[0085] The start row control module 1 is electrically connected to the first signal output terminal OUTN of the driving unit at this level, the start row designation signal line CGI line (Control Gate Initial) and the first node A, and is configured to designate one row of sub-pixels as the switching start row under the control of the start row designation signal CGI signal output by the start row designation signal line CGI line;

[0086] The latch module 2 is electrically connected to the start row specifying signal line CGI line, the reset signal line Reset line, the first level signal line (e.g., the VGH line), the second level signal line (e.g., the VGL line), the first node A and the second node B, respectively, and is configured to latch the start row specifying signal CGI signal;

[0087] The start row trigger module 3 is electrically connected to the second node B, the trigger signal line CGS line (Control Gate Start), the second level signal line (for example, the VGL line) and the third node C, respectively, and is configured to trigger the switching of the start row to start scanning under the control of the trigger signal CGS signal output by the trigger signal line CGS line.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving circuit is an integrated gate driver circuit (Gate Driver on Array, GOA). The GOA driving circuit technology is to directly manufacture the gate driving circuit on the array substrate to realize the driving mode of progressive scanning, which is used by various display devices. Since the GOA driving circuit can be directly manufactured on the array substrate, the process of driver IC binding is omitted, the dependence of the array substrate on the more expensive driver IC is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the design requirements of narrow frame and low power consumption of display products can also be realized.

[0089] In some embodiments, the driving circuit includes a CMOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) gate circuit, and the CMOS gate circuit includes a P-type MOS transistor and an N-type MOS transistor.

[0090] The driving circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a multi-stage cascaded driving unit, referring to Figure 7 , the driving unit includes a cascaded first-level driving unit GOA1, a second-level driving unit GOA2, ..., an N-1-level driving unit GOAN-1 and an N-level driving unit GOAN. Among them, the first-level driving unit is electrically connected to at least one row of sub-pixels in the display area AA1, the second-level driving unit is electrically connected to at least one row of sub-pixels in the display area AA2, ..., the N-1-level driving unit is electrically connected to at least one row of sub-pixels in the display area AAN-1, and the N-level driving unit is electrically connected to at least one row of sub-pixels in the display area AAN. In some embodiments, the driving unit is electrically connected to 1 row of sub-pixels, and one driving unit drives a pixel driving unit of a row of sub-pixels; in some embodiments, the driving unit is electrically connected to two or more rows of sub-pixels, for example, one driving unit can simultaneously drive a pixel driving unit of two rows of sub-pixels, and for another example, one driving unit can simultaneously drive a pixel driving unit of three rows of sub-pixels. In this specification, the example of a first-level driving unit driving a row of sub-pixels is used for explanation, wherein the first-level driving unit includes two driving units.

[0091] It should be noted that Figure 4 In the example of the Nth level drive unit GOA (N), in the positive scanning mode (combined with Figure 7 The connection mode between the positive scanning signal line STVFL and each level of driving units, at this time, the reverse scanning signal line STVBL is disconnected). Figure 4 The Nth level driving unit GOA(N) and the N+1th level driving unit GOA(N+1) are electrically connected. It can be understood that in the reverse scanning mode (combined with Figure 7 The reverse scanning signal line STVBL is connected to each level of driving unit. At this time, the forward scanning signal line STVFL is disconnected. The Nth level driving unit GOA (N) can be electrically connected to the N-1th level driving unit GOA (N-1).

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, a driving unit is disposed in the peripheral area on at least one side of the display area AA. In some embodiments, a driving unit can be disposed in the peripheral area BB on one side of the display area AA to achieve a lower cost for driving sub-pixels; in other embodiments, referring to Figure 7 , driving units can be respectively arranged in the peripheral areas BB on the left and right sides of the display area AA, so that two driving units at the same level drive a row of sub-pixels at the same time. For large-size display panels, the uniformity of signal transmission can be improved, the brightness uniformity of the display screen can be improved, and the display performance can be improved; the specific requirements can be determined according to the design requirements of the display product.

[0093] The display color of each sub-pixel in the above-mentioned display area AA is not limited here. In some embodiments, the display colors of each sub-pixel in the display area AA can be the same, for example, all sub-pixels display blue, and for another example, all sub-pixels display white. In some other embodiments, the display area AA may include multiple sub-pixels displaying different colors, for example, the display area AA may include three sub-pixels displaying red, blue and green at the same time; for another example, the display area AA may include four sub-pixels displaying red, blue, green and white at the same time.

[0094] In the exemplary embodiment, the first node A, the second node B and the third node C do not actually exist, but are concepts proposed for the convenience of describing the connection relationship of the circuits in the driving unit, and are hereby explained.

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, the starting row control module 1 of the driving unit is configured to designate one row of sub-pixels as a switching starting row under the control of the starting row designation signal CGI signal output by the starting row designation signal line CGI line. Exemplarily, the starting row designation signal CGI signal is a high-level signal to control the starting row control module 1 to designate one row of sub-pixels as a switching starting row. The switching starting row can be any row of sub-pixels from the 1st row to the Nth row (the last row) of sub-pixels.

[0096] Taking the example that when the CGI signal is a high level signal, the starting row control module 1 can be controlled to designate one row of sub-pixels as the switching starting row, in some embodiments, when the first output signal OUTN signal outputted from the first output terminal OUTN of the N-level driving unit and the CGI signal are both high level signals, the starting row control module 1 can designate a row of sub-pixels electrically connected to the first output terminal OUTN of the N-level driving unit as the switching starting row. For example, when the OUT3 signal outputted from the first output terminal OUT3 of the third-level driving unit and the CGI signal are both high level signals, the starting row control module 1 can designate a row of sub-pixels electrically connected to the first output terminal OUT3 of the third-level driving unit as the switching starting row; since the first-level driving unit drives a row of sub-pixels, the third row of sub-pixels is the switching starting row at this time.

[0097] In the resolution trigger display frame stage, the CGI signal controls the start line control module 1 to specify the start line. It should be noted that, referring to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 ,in, Figure 8 shows a timing diagram of a conventional line-by-line drive scanning of a driving circuit, Fig. 9 The timing and Figure 8 In the resolution triggering display frame stage, each row of sub-pixels in the display area AA is still in the conventional progressive scanning mode.

[0098] The first signal output terminal OUTN of the N-th level driving unit outputs the first output signal OUTN signal. Exemplarily, when the first output signal OUTN signal is a high level signal, the N-th row of sub-pixels can be charged. In the embodiment of the present application, the first output signal OUTN signal of the driving unit is used as one of the input signals of the starting row control module 1 of the same level driving unit.

[0099] The start row designation signal line CGI outputs a start row designation signal CGI signal, and is configured to control the start row control module 1 to designate one row of sub-pixels as a switching start row.

[0100] The first node A is an output node of the start row control module 1 , and the start row control module 1 inputs a signal to the latch module 2 through the first node A.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, the latch module 2 is configured to be able to latch the start row designation signal CGI signal, specifically, the start row designation signal CGI signal is latched in the signal at the second node B position, and for example, the start row designation signal CGI signal is latched in the signal at the second node B position in the form of a high level, and in the absence of a reset signal Reset signal input, the signal at the second node B position maintains a high level.

[0102] The reset signal Reset outputted by the reset signal line Reset can control the driving circuit to reset.

[0103] The first level signal line outputs a first level signal, and the second level signal line outputs a second level signal. Exemplarily, the voltage of the first level signal is greater than the voltage of the second level signal. For example, the first level signal may be a high level signal VGH signal, and the second level signal may be a low level signal VGL signal.

[0104] Among them, the latch module 2 inputs a signal to the start row trigger module 3 through the second node B, and the signal at the second node B is related to the signal at the first node A, the reset signal Reset signal, the first level signal (for example, VGH signal) and the second level signal (for example, VGL signal).

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the start line trigger module 3 is configured to be able to trigger the switching of the start line to start scanning under the control of the trigger signal CGS signal. Specifically, after the start line control module 1 specifies the switching of the start line, if the trigger signal CGS signal controls the start line trigger module 3 to trigger the switching of the start line to start scanning, the resolution triggers the resolution switching of the next frame of the display frame; if the trigger signal CGS signal does not control the start line trigger module 3 to trigger the switching of the start line to start scanning, in some embodiments, the next frame of the resolution trigger display frame is still in a conventional progressive scanning state, and the resolution remains unchanged.

[0106] In some embodiments, the trigger signal CGS is a high level signal to control the start line trigger module 3 to trigger the switch start line to start scanning;

[0107] For example, refer to Fig. 9 , in the resolution switching display frame stage, the trigger signal CGS signal is a high level signal to trigger the scanning from the third row of sub-pixels;

[0108] For example, refer to Fig.10 In the resolution switching display frame stage, the trigger signal CGS is set to a high level signal to trigger scanning starting from the 5th row of sub-pixels.

[0109] The third node C is an output node of the start row trigger module 3 , and the signal at the third node C is related to the signal at the second node B, the trigger signal CGS signal and the second level signal (eg VGL signal).

[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, the enable signal includes the STV signal and the second output signal Sout of the previous or next stage driving unit.

[0115] For example, when scanning in the direction of increasing the number of sub-pixel rows, the enable signal of the first-level driving unit is the STV signal, and the enable signal of the N-th-level driving unit is the second output signal Sout of the N-1-th-level driving unit; when scanning in the direction of decreasing the number of sub-pixel rows, the enable signal of the last-level driving unit is the STV signal, and the enable signal of the N-th-level driving unit is the second output signal Sout of the N+1-th-level driving unit.

[0116] The first control signal line CNB outputs a first control signal CNB, and the second control signal line CN outputs a second control signal CN.

[0117] In some embodiments, when the first control signal CNB is a high level signal and the second control signal CN is a low level signal, the signal input module 4 controls the driving circuit to scan in the direction of increasing sub-pixel rows starting from the switching start row;

[0118] In some embodiments, when the first control signal CNB is a low level signal and the second control signal CN is a high level signal, the signal input module 4 controls the driving circuit to scan in a direction of decreasing sub-pixel rows starting from the switching start row.

[0124] In an exemplary embodiment, the end row control module 5 is configured to designate one of the multiple rows of sub-pixels as a switching end row, wherein the switching end row is a sub-pixel row where a frame scan ends in the resolution switching display frame phase. After the end row control module 5 designates the switching end row, the driving circuit scans the sub-pixels row by row from the switching start row to the switching end row in the resolution switching display frame phase.

[0125] Among them, multiple rows of sub-pixels that can be designated as the switching end row need to meet certain conditions. Specifically, when scanning in the direction of increasing sub-pixel rows, the number of sub-pixel rows in the switching end row is greater than or equal to the number of sub-pixel rows in the switching start row; when scanning in the direction of decreasing sub-pixel rows, the number of sub-pixel rows in the switching end row is less than or equal to the number of sub-pixel rows in the switching start row.

[0126] The end row designation signal CGE signal inputted by the end designation signal line CGE line includes a high level signal. Exemplarily, the end row designation signal CGE signal can be used as a high level signal to designate one of the multiple rows of sub-pixels as a switching end row;

[0127] For example, refer to Fig. 9, the end row designation signal CGE is set as a high level signal to designate the sub-pixels in the 6th row as the switching end row;

[0128] For example, refer to Fig.10 , the end row designation signal CGE is set as a high level signal to designate the 10th row of sub-pixels as the switching end row.

[0311] The second node B of the third-stage driving unit is latched as a high-level signal after the first output signal OUT3 and the start row designation signal CGI are both high-level signals for the first time. Therefore, in the resolution switching display frame stage, the start row designation signal CGI includes two situations:

[0312] First, in the resolution switching display frame stage, the signal OUTN outputted from the first signal output terminal of the driving unit connected to the switching start row is consistent with the start row designation signal CGI.

[0313] Second, in the resolution switching display frame stage, the start line designation signal CGI is a low-level signal with a constant voltage.

[0314] For the fourth-level driver unit (the driver unit that switches the start line connection), refer to Fig.13 :

[0318] In this way, the driving circuit starts scanning from the third row of sub-pixels row by row in the direction of increasing number of sub-pixel rows.

[0319] For the sixth-level driver unit (the driver unit that switches the end row connection), refer to Fig.13 :

[0320] The first output signal OUT4 and the switching start row designation signal CGI are not high level signals at the same time, the first NAND sub-circuit NAND1 outputs a high level signal, and the signal at the first node A after passing through the first inverter NOT1 is a low level signal; the reset signal Reset is a low level signal, the first transistor T1 is turned off, the first NOR gate sub-circuit NOR1 has no high level signal input, the first NOR gate sub-circuit NOR1 outputs a high level signal, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the third transistor T3 is turned off, and the second node B inputs a low level signal VGL; the first transmission gate TG1 is turned off, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, and the third node C inputs a second level signal VGL.

[0322] For the seventh-level drive unit (the drive unit of the next row after the switching end row), refer to Fig.14 :

[0323] In the resolution switching display frame, the seventh-level driving unit receives the high-level forward scanning signal STVF signal output by the sixth-level driving unit, the switching row designation signal CGE signal is a high-level signal, the fourth transmission gate TG4 of the seventh-level unit is closed, the sixth transistor T6 is opened, the signal at the fourth node D is a low-level signal, and the signal at the fifth node E is a low-level signal; when the first clock signal CK signal is a high-level signal, the first three-state inverter Tri-Inv1 is opened, the signal at the sixth node F is a low-level signal, and the high-level forward scanning signal STVF signal is not output to the eighth-level driving unit; when the first clock signal CK signal is switched to a low-level signal, the first three-state inverter Tri-Inv1 is closed, the second three-state inverter Tri-Inv2 is opened, the second three-state inverter Tri-Inv2 outputs a high-level signal, the fifth transmission gate TG5 is closed, the seventh transistor T7 is opened, the first signal output terminal OUT7 outputs the second level signal VGL signal as a low-level signal, and the data of the seventh row of sub-pixels is not updated.

[0324] In this way, the driving circuit realizes scanning from the third row of sub-pixels to the sixth row of sub-pixels.

[0325] In some embodiments of the present application, in the resolution-triggered display frame stage, the signal OUTN signal outputted from the first signal output terminal OUTN of the driving unit connected to the switching start row is consistent with the start row designation signal CGI signal.

[0326] Take the resolution of the display device as H*V as an example, where V is the number of rows of pixels and H is the number of columns of pixels. Fig.16 , t is the pulse width of the clock signal, and t1 is the time before the STV signal falls.

[0327] Taking the forward scanning mode as an example, the switching starting line is the mth line. In the resolution trigger display frame stage, the timing of the starting line specifying signal CGI signal is:

[0328] Delay_t1=t1+(m-1)*t (1)

[0329] Wherein, Delay_t1 is the rising timing of the start row designation signal CGI.

[0330] For example, refer to Fig. 9 The switching starting line is the third row of sub-pixels. In the resolution trigger display frame stage, the starting row designation signal CGI signal rises at t1+2*t.

[0331] Since the second node B at the switching start is latched as a high level signal after the first output signal OUTN and the start row designation signal CGI are both high level signals for the first time, the start row designation signal CGI includes two situations in the resolution switching display frame stage:

[0332] First, in the resolution switching display frame stage, the signal OUTN outputted from the first signal output terminal of the driving unit connected to the switching start row is consistent with the start row designation signal CGI.

[0333] Second, in the resolution switching display frame stage, the start line designation signal CGI is a low-level signal with a constant voltage.

[0334] In the first case, taking the normal scanning mode as an example, the switching start line is the mth line, and the switching end line is the nth line. In the resolution switching display frame stage, refer to Fig.16 , the timing of the start line specifying signal CGI signal is:

[0335] Delay_t2=t1+V*t+{m-[Ceil(m / h)-1]*h-1}*t (2)

[0336] T=(n-m+1)*t (3)

[0337] Wherein, T is the period of the start row designation signal CGI, Ceil is the upward rounding function, and h is the number of clock signals. For example, in the present application, h is 2 (CK and CKB).

[0338] For example, refer to Fig. 9 The switching start line is the third row of sub-pixels, and the switching end line is the sixth row of sub-pixels. In the resolution switching display frame stage, the start row designation signal CGI signal rises at t1+12*t and rises once every 4t.

[0339] In some embodiments of the present application, the falling edge of the trigger signal CGS is aligned with the rising edge of the start row designation signal CGI in the resolution switching display frame stage.

[0340] Reference Fig.16 , then in the resolution switching display frame stage, the timing of the trigger signal CGS signal is:

[0341] Delay_t3=Delay_t2-t (4)

[0342] T=(n-m+1)*t (5)

[0343] Wherein, T is the period of the trigger signal CGS.

[0344] For example, refer to Fig. 9 The switching start behavior is the third row of sub-pixels, and the switching end behavior is the sixth row of sub-pixels. The trigger signal CGS rises at t1+11*t and rises once every 4t.

[0345] In some embodiments of the present application, in the resolution switching display frame stage, the signal output from the first signal output terminal OUTN of the driving unit connected to the switching end row is consistent with the end row designation signal CGE.

[0346] Reference Fig.16 , in the resolution switching display frame stage, the timing of the end line specifying signal CGE signal is:

[0347] Delay_t4= Delay_t2+(nm)*t (6)

[0348] T=(n-m+1)*t (7)

[0349] Wherein, T is the period of the end row designation signal CGE.

[0350] For example, refer to Fig. 9 The switching start line is the third row of sub-pixels, the switching end line is the sixth row of sub-pixels, and the end row designation signal CGE rises at t1+15*t and rises once every 4t.

[0351] In some embodiments of the present application, reference Fig.17 , the pulse width t2 of the clock signal in the resolution triggering display frame stage is smaller than the pulse width t3 of the clock signal in the resolution switching display frame stage.

[0352] In the resolution switching display frame stage, since the driving circuit only scans the sub-pixels between the switching start row and the switching end row, the pulse width of the clock signal can be increased without increasing the total time of one frame.

[0353] For example, Fig.17 In the resolution-triggered display frame, the driving circuit scans 12 rows of sub-pixels. In the resolution-switched display frame stage, the driving circuit scans 4 rows of sub-pixels. The pulse width t3 of the clock signal can be increased to be greater than the pulse width t2 of the clock signal of the resolution-triggered display frame. The time of one frame is not increased, and the refresh rate will not be reduced.

[0354] In some embodiments of the present application, the pulse width t2 of the clock signal in the resolution-triggered display frame stage is smaller than the pulse width t3 of the clock signal in the resolution-switched display frame stage; in the resolution-triggered display frame stage, the charging time of each row of sub-pixels can be increased to avoid the problem of insufficient sub-pixel charging time.

[0355] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving units connected to at least two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are electrically connected to the same clock signal line.

[0356] In some embodiments, reference Fig.18 , the driving units connecting two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are electrically connected to the same clock signal line, and the two driving circuits scan two adjacent rows of sub-pixels respectively at the same time; in some embodiments, the driving units connecting three adjacent rows of sub-pixels are electrically connected to the same clock signal line.

[0357] It should be noted that the driving unit connecting two adjacent rows of sub-pixels is different from the pixel driving unit that is electrically connected to the same clock signal line and drives two rows of sub-pixels at the same time with one driving unit. The former has a driving unit for each row of sub-pixels, and the driving unit is electrically connected to the same clock signal; the latter has only one driving unit for two rows of sub-pixels.

[0358] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving units connected to at least two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are electrically connected to the same clock signal line, so that at least two rows of sub-pixels can be simultaneously charged, the resolution of the screen can be reduced, and the pulse width can be increased, thereby increasing the charging time and avoiding the problem of insufficient charging of high-frequency pixel rows.

[0359] An embodiment of the present application provides a display device, comprising the driving circuit as described above.

[0360] The display device provided in the embodiments of the present application may be an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) display device.

[0361] In addition, the display device may be a display device such as a monitor, as well as any product or component with a display function such as a television, a digital camera, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc. that includes these display devices.

[0363] In some embodiments of the present application, when the resolution of the picture displayed in the resolution switching display frame stage is less than or equal to half the resolution of the picture displayed in the resolution triggering display frame stage, the refresh rate of the resolution switching display frame stage is greater than the refresh rate of the resolution triggering display frame stage.

[0364] When the resolution of the picture displayed in the resolution switching display frame stage is less than or equal to half of the resolution of the picture displayed in the resolution triggering display frame stage, without changing the pulse width of the clock signal, the time to scan the sub-pixel row is less than or equal to half of the time to scan the full-resolution sub-pixel row, thereby increasing the refresh rate of the resolution switching display frame stage.

[0365] For example, for a display device with a resolution of 1920*1080 in display area AA and a refresh rate of 60 Hz, if after switching the resolution, the resolution of the area of ​​the display screen becomes less than or equal to 960*1080, then the refresh rate can be switched to 120 Hz.

[0366] In some embodiments of the present application, when the resolution of the picture displayed in the resolution switching display frame stage is less than or equal to half of the resolution of the picture displayed in the resolution triggering display frame stage, the refresh rate of the resolution switching display frame stage is greater than the refresh rate of the resolution triggering display frame stage; high refresh rate can be achieved at low resolution, thereby improving picture smoothness.

Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the present technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
