[0050] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0051] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0052] As mentioned in the background section, existing shift registers exhibit ripple in their output. After careful research, the inventors discovered that the cause of this problem lies in the shift register's output module. This module outputs either a high or low level, generating the shift register's output signal. The control terminal within the output module, used to control the high-level output, is affected by the clock signal, causing varying degrees of conduction and resulting in ripple in the high-level output. The quality of the shift register's output signal determines the charging quality of the pixel circuit, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a pixel circuit in a related technology. Figure 2 This is a timing diagram of a pixel circuit in a related technology. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Correspondingly, the pixel circuit includes a driving transistor T1, a data writing transistor T2, a threshold compensation transistor T3, a first light-emitting control transistor T4, a second light-emitting control transistor T6, a first initialization transistor T5, a second initialization transistor T7, and a storage capacitor Cst. It drives the light-emitting element to emit light through the coordination of scan signals S1 to S4, initialization signals Vref1 and Vref2, light-emitting control signal EM, and power signals ELVDD and ELVSS. Its working principle is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The threshold compensation transistor T3 is an N-type transistor. The third scan signal S3 at the control electrode of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is active high. Within one frame, the effective time of the third scan signal S3 is relatively long, such as... Figure 2In this process, the effective time of the second scan signal S2 corresponding to the four rows of pixel circuits needs to be included. The high-level waveform of the third scan signal S3 is periodically used to pull the clock signal connected to the scan circuit that generates the second scan signal S3. The effective level of one pulse of the clock signal has the same duration as the effective level of the second scan signal S2, resulting in ripple in the third scan signal S3. When the third scan signal S3 has ripple, the impact on the charging of each row of pixels in the display panel will be different, resulting in differences in the brightness of each row in the display panel.
[0053] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention proposes the following solutions:
[0054] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a shift register provided in an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 3 The shift register includes: a first input module 11, a second input module 12, a control module 13, and an output module 14. The first input module 11 is electrically connected to a first voltage input terminal PVGL, a first clock input terminal SCK1, a second clock input terminal SCK2, and a first control terminal N1. The first input module 11 is configured to adjust the potential of the first control terminal N1 of the output module 14 according to the first clock signal from the first clock input terminal SCK1, the second clock signal from the second clock input terminal SCK2, and the first voltage signal from the first voltage input terminal PVGL. The second input module 12 is electrically connected to the shift input terminal SIN, the first clock input terminal SCK1, and the second control terminal N2 of the shift register. The second input module 12 is configured to adjust the potential of the second control terminal N2 of the output module 14 according to the input signal from the shift input terminal SIN and the first clock signal. The output module 14 is electrically connected to the first control terminal N1. 1. The second control terminal N2, the first voltage input terminal PVGL, the second voltage input terminal PVGH, and the shift output terminal Gout of the shift register are electrically connected. The output module 14 is configured to output the first voltage signal of the first voltage input terminal PVGL to the shift output terminal Gout of the shift register according to the potential of the first control terminal N1; and to output the second voltage signal of the second voltage input terminal PVGH to the shift output terminal Gout according to the potential of the second control terminal N2. The control module 13 is electrically connected to the second clock input terminal SCK2, the second voltage input terminal PVGH, the shift control terminal SIN2, and the first control terminal N1. The control module 13 is configured to input the second voltage signal of the second voltage input terminal PVGH to the first control terminal N1 according to the second clock signal and the shift control signal input by the shift control terminal SIN2 when the first voltage signal is output at the shift output terminal of the shift register.
[0055] Specifically, the shift register can shift the input signal at the shift input terminal SIN and output it at the shift output terminal Gout. The first voltage input terminal PVGL receives a first DC voltage signal, and the second voltage input terminal PVGH receives a second DC voltage signal. The high and low levels of the first and second voltage signals are different; for example, if the first voltage signal is low, the second voltage signal is high. In this embodiment, the pulse of the input signal is high, meaning the effective pulse of the input signal is a high-level pulse. The effective pulses of the first and second clock signals are pulses that turn on the corresponding switching units in the shift register, for example, a low level. The first and second clock signals have the same frequency but opposite phases, i.e., opposite timing. It can be understood that there may be a certain timing margin between the pulses of the first and second clock signals. The first input module 11 is used to adjust the potential of the first control terminal N1, and the second input module 12 is used to adjust the potential of the second control terminal N2. When the first control terminal N1 is at an active level (in this embodiment, the active levels of both the first control terminal N1 and the second control terminal N2 are low), the shift output terminal Gout outputs a second voltage signal; when the second control terminal N2 is at an active level, the shift output terminal Gout outputs a first voltage signal. When the control module 13 is not set, during the period when the first control terminal N1 is at a low level, that is, during the period when the shift output terminal Gout outputs the second voltage signal, the first control terminal N1 will be periodically pulled lower by the second clock signal, causing the conduction degree of the corresponding unit in the output module 14 to be periodically increased, thereby causing ripple in the signal of the shift output terminal Gout. In this embodiment, by setting the control module 13, the second voltage signal is periodically input to the first control terminal N1. It should be noted that the control module 13 may also output the second voltage signal only once to the first control terminal N1. That is, when the second clock signal is low, although the second clock signal pulls the potential of the first control terminal N1 low, the control module 13 inputs the second voltage signal to the first control terminal N1 at this time, so that the potential of the first control terminal N1 is not pulled too low, thereby preventing the conduction degree of the corresponding unit in the output module 14 from changing too much, thus improving the ripple phenomenon.
[0056] The technical solution of this embodiment employs a shift register with a first input module, a second input module, a control module, and an output module. The first input module is electrically connected to a first voltage input terminal, a first clock input terminal, a second clock input terminal, and a first control terminal of the output module, and is configured to adjust the potential of the first control terminal according to the first clock signal of the first clock input terminal, the second clock signal of the second clock input terminal, and the first voltage signal of the first voltage input terminal. The second input module is electrically connected to the shift input terminal, the first clock input terminal, and the second control terminal of the output module of the shift register, and is configured to adjust the potential of the second control terminal according to the input signal of the shift input terminal and the first clock signal. The module is electrically connected to the first voltage input terminal, the second voltage input terminal, and the shift output terminal of the shift register. It is configured to output the first voltage signal from the first voltage input terminal to the shift output terminal of the shift register based on the potential of the first control terminal; and to output the second voltage signal from the second voltage input terminal to the shift output terminal of the shift register based on the potential of the second control terminal. The control module is electrically connected to the second clock input terminal, the second voltage input terminal, the shift control terminal, and the first control terminal. It is configured to input the second voltage signal from the second voltage input terminal to the first control terminal based on the second clock signal and the shift control signal of the shift control terminal when the first voltage signal is output from the shift output terminal of the shift register. By configuring the control module to input the second voltage signal to the first control terminal, even when the second clock signal is low, although it pulls the potential of the first control terminal low, the control module still inputs the second voltage signal to the first control terminal, preventing the potential of the first control terminal from being pulled too low. This prevents excessive changes in the conduction level of the corresponding unit in the output module, thereby improving ripple.
[0057] Optionally, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of another shift register provided in an embodiment of the present invention, referred to... Figure 4 The control module includes: a first control unit 131 and a second control unit 132; the first control unit 131 and the second control unit 132 are connected in series between the second voltage input terminal PVGH and the first control terminal N1, the control terminal of the first control unit 131 is electrically connected to the shift control terminal SIN2, and the control terminal of the second control unit 132 is electrically connected to the second clock input terminal SCK2.
[0058] Specifically, the first control unit 131 can be turned off during the pulse time of the shift control signal, that is, the pulse of the shift control signal controls the first control unit 131 to turn off. The second control unit 132 can be turned on during the effective pulse of the second clock signal. When the effective pulse of the second clock signal arrives, the second control unit 132 turns on, causing the second voltage signal to be written to the first control terminal N1, preventing the first control terminal N1 from being pulled too low by the second clock signal, thereby improving the ripple phenomenon. Optionally, such as Figure 4As shown, the first terminal of the first control unit 131 is electrically connected to the first control terminal N1, the second terminal of the first control unit 131 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the second control unit 132, and the second terminal of the second control unit 132 is electrically connected to the second voltage input terminal PVGH. Figure 5 The circuit structure diagram of another shift register provided in the embodiment of the present invention is shown. Optionally, the first terminal of the second control unit 132 is electrically connected to the first control terminal N1, the second terminal of the second control unit 132 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first control unit 131, and the second terminal of the first control unit 132 is electrically connected to the second voltage input terminal PVGH.
[0059] Preferably, the conduction level of the second control unit 132 is logically opposite to that of the second voltage signal PVGH. For example, when the second voltage signal PVGH is high, the conduction level of the second control unit 132 is low.
[0060] Optionally, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of another shift register provided in an embodiment of the present invention, referred to... Figure 6 The first input module includes: a power supply unit 111, a first adjustment unit 112, a second adjustment unit 113, and a coupling unit 114.

The power supply unit 111 is configured to be turned on in response to a signal from the control terminal of the power supply unit 111, thereby transmitting the signal from the first terminal of the power supply unit 111 to the second terminal of the power supply unit 111.
[0062] The second terminal of the first adjustment unit 112 is electrically connected to the second clock input terminal SCK2, and the second terminal of the first adjustment unit 112 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the second adjustment unit 113. The first adjustment unit 111 is configured to transmit the signal from the first terminal of the first adjustment unit 111 to the second terminal of the first adjustment unit 111 in response to the signal turn-on of the control terminal of the first adjustment unit 111.
[0063] The control terminal of the second adjustment unit 113 is electrically connected to the second clock input terminal SCK2, and the second terminal of the second adjustment unit 113 is electrically connected to the first control terminal N1. The second adjustment unit 113 is configured to transmit the signal from the first terminal of the second adjustment unit 113 to the second terminal in response to the signal turn-on of the control terminal of the second adjustment unit 113.
[0064] The first end of the coupling unit 114 is electrically connected to the control end of the first adjustment unit 112, and the second end of the coupling unit 114 is electrically connected to the second end of the first adjustment unit 112.
[0065] The second input module includes a shift input unit 121. The first terminal of the shift input unit 121 is electrically connected to the shift input terminal SIN; the control terminal of the shift input unit 121 is electrically connected to the first clock input terminal SCK1; and the second terminal of the shift input unit 121 is electrically connected to the second control terminal N2. The shift input unit 121 is configured to transmit the signal from its first terminal to its second terminal in response to a signal being turned on at its control terminal.
[0066] Optionally, the output module includes a first output unit 141, a second output unit 142, and a holding unit 143. A first terminal of the first output unit 141 is electrically connected to a second voltage input terminal PVGH, a second terminal of the first output unit 141 is electrically connected to a shift output terminal Gout, and a control terminal of the first output unit 141 is electrically connected to a first control terminal N1. The first output unit 141 is configured to transmit a signal from its first terminal to its second terminal in response to a signal turn-on at its control terminal. The turn-on level of the first output unit 141 is the effective level of the first control terminal N1, and the effective level of the first control terminal N1 is logically opposite to the second voltage signal at the second voltage input terminal. The first terminal of the second output unit 142 is electrically connected to the first voltage input terminal PVGL, and the second terminal of the second output unit 142 is electrically connected to the shift output terminal Gout. The control terminal of the second output unit 142 is electrically connected to the second control terminal N2. The second output unit 142 is configured to transmit the signal from the first terminal of the second output unit 142 to the second terminal in response to the signal turn-on of the control terminal of the second output unit 142. The first terminal of the holding unit 143 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first output unit 141, and the second terminal of the holding unit 143 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the first output unit 141.
[0067] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 6 The shift register may also include a first feedback module 15, which is electrically connected to the second control terminal N2, the first clock input terminal SCK1, and the first terminal of the power supply unit 111. The first feedback module 15 is configured to write the first clock signal into the second terminal of the power supply unit 111 according to the potential of the terminal of the second input module 12 connected to the second control terminal N2.
[0068] The shift register may also include a second feedback module 16, which is electrically connected to the second terminal of the power supply unit 111, the second voltage input terminal PVGH, the second clock input terminal SCK2 and the second control terminal N2. The second feedback module 16 is configured to adjust the potential of the second control terminal N2 according to the potential of the second terminal of the power supply unit 111, the second clock signal and the first voltage signal.
[0069] Specifically, the first feedback module 15 is used to provide feedback on the potential of the second terminal of the power supply unit 111. When the second control terminal is at a low level, the first clock signal SCK1 is written to the second terminal of the power supply unit 111, thereby providing feedback on the state of the first adjustment unit and ensuring the stability of the shift register output signal.
[0070] The second feedback module 16 is used to control the potential of the second control terminal to ensure the stability of the shift register output signal.
[0071] Figure 7 This is a timing diagram of a shift register provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 and Figure 6 Corresponding, combined Figure 7 and Figure 6 The operating timing of this invention will be described. It should be noted that in this embodiment, all units are assumed to be off at the second level and on at the first level. One of the first and second levels can be high, and the other can be low. The second level can be high, and the first level can be low. Optionally, the effective level of the first control terminal N1 is logically opposite to the second voltage signal of the second voltage input terminal PVGH. When the first control terminal N1 is active, the output module 14 transmits the second voltage signal from the second voltage input terminal to the shift output terminal of the shift register.
[0072] Optionally, during the effective level time of the input signal, the pulse end time of the shift control signal is later than the pulse start time tx of the first effective pulse of the second clock signal, and earlier than the pulse start time ty of the second effective pulse of the second clock signal. This ensures that the shift register can normally shift the signal at the shift input terminal and output it from its shift output terminal, while minimizing the influence of the second clock signal and improving ripple as early as possible.
[0073] In the first stage T1, the input signal is at a first level, for example, a low level; the shift control signal is at a first level; the first clock signal is at a second level, for example, a high level; and the second clock signal is at a first level. At this time, the power supply unit 111 and the shift input unit 121 are off, and the second control terminal N2 maintains the state of the previous stage. The first control unit 131 and the second control unit 132 are on, causing the first control terminal N1 to write a second voltage signal (i.e., the second level), thereby controlling the first output unit 141 to turn off. At this time, the shift output terminal Gout maintains the state of the previous stage, that is, maintains the first level.
[0074] In the second stage T2, the input signal is at a second level, for example, a high level; the shift control signal is at a second level; the first clock signal is at a first level, for example, a low level; and the second clock signal is at a second level. At this time, the power supply unit 111 and the shift input unit 121 are turned on, and the second control terminal N2 is written with the second level. Therefore, the second output unit 142 remains off, and the power supply unit 111 transmits the first voltage signal (i.e., the first level) to the control terminal of the first adjustment unit 112. The control terminal of the first adjustment unit 112 is written with the first level, and the first adjustment unit 112 is turned on. Since the second clock signal is at a second level at this time, the second adjustment unit 113 is turned off. The first terminal of the coupling unit 114 is written with the first level, and the second terminal is written with the second level. The first control unit 131 is turned off, and the second control unit 132 is turned off. That is, at this time, the first control terminal N1 maintains the potential of the previous stage, i.e., maintains the second level. Therefore, the shift output terminal Gout maintains the state of the previous stage, i.e., maintains the first level.
[0075] In the third stage T3, the input signal is at the second level, for example, a high level. The first valid pulse of the second clock signal arrives within the effective level time of the input signal, and the second clock signal becomes the first level, for example, a low level. At this time, the power supply unit 111 and the shift input unit 121 are turned off. Because the first terminal of the coupling unit 114 maintains the first level, the first adjustment unit 112 is turned on, causing the first level of the second clock signal to be written to the first terminal of the second adjustment unit. The second adjustment unit 113 is turned on under the control of the second clock signal. Therefore, the first control terminal N1 is written with the first level, causing the first output unit 141 to turn on, thereby causing the shift output terminal Gout to output the second level. During this stage, because the pulse end time of the shift control signal is set later than the pulse start time of the first valid pulse of the second clock signal, the second level of the shift control signal and the pulse of the second clock signal have at least a partial overlap period. During this period, only the first level is written to the first control terminal N1. Therefore, it can be ensured that in the third stage T3, the first control terminal N1 is first pulled low to a certain extent, ensuring that the first output unit 141 can be turned on smoothly, thereby ensuring that the shift output terminal Gout can output the second level normally.
[0076] In the fourth stage T4, the input signal is at the second level, for example, a high level. The shift control signal can be at either the second or first level. The first clock signal is at the first level, for example, a low level, and the second clock signal is at the second level. At this time, the power supply unit 111 and the shift input unit 121 are turned on, and the second control terminal N2 is written with the second level, so the second output unit 142 remains off. The control terminal of the first adjustment unit 112 is written with the first level, and the first adjustment unit 112 is turned on. Since the second clock signal is at the second level at this time, the second adjustment unit 113 is turned off. The first terminal of the coupling unit 114 is written with the first level, and the second terminal is written with the second level. The first control unit 131 is turned off, and the second control unit 132 is turned off. That is, at this time, the first control terminal N1 maintains the potential of the previous stage, that is, maintains the first level. Therefore, the shift output terminal Gout maintains the state of the previous stage, that is, maintains the second level.
[0077] In the fifth stage T5, the input signal is at the second level, for example, a high level. The second clock signal arrives during the second valid pulse of the input signal's valid level time, and the second clock signal is at the first level, for example, a low level. At this time, the power supply unit 111 and the shift input unit 121 are turned off. The first terminal of the coupling unit 114 maintains the first level, causing the first adjustment unit 112 to conduct, so that the first level of the second clock signal is written to the first terminal of the second adjustment unit 113. The second adjustment unit 113 conducts under the control of the first level of the second clock signal. Since the second clock signal SCK1 is at the first level, the second clock signal at the first level is written to the first control terminal N1 after passing through the first adjustment unit 112 and the second adjustment unit 113. At this time, if there is no first control unit 131 and the second control unit 132, the first control terminal N1 will be further pulled low. If no processing is performed, it will cause the first output unit 141 to conduct more deeply, generating ripple. This causes the conduction level of the first output unit 141 to change, which in turn causes the shift output terminal Gout to output a second level with ripple. During this stage, because the pulse end time of the shift control signal is set earlier than the pulse start time of the second effective pulse of the second clock signal, the shift control signal can be at the first level during this period. The first control unit 131 is turned on. Since the second control unit 132 is also turned on, the second voltage signal can be written to the first control terminal N1 during this stage, so that the potential of the first control terminal N1 will not be pulled too low by the second clock signal. This will prevent the conduction level of the first output unit 141 from changing too much, thereby improving the ripple phenomenon. It should be noted that the potential of the first control terminal N1 is still low at this time, and the first output unit 141 is still in the turned-on state.
[0078] In stage T6, the input signal is at a first level, for example, low; the shift control signal is at a first level; the first clock signal is at a first level; and the second clock signal is at a second level, for example, high. At this time, the power supply unit 111 and the shift input unit 121 are turned on, and the second control terminal N2 is written with the first level, thus pulling the second output unit 142 low to a certain extent. The control terminal of the first adjustment unit 112 is written with the first level, and the first adjustment unit 112 is turned on. Since the second clock signal is at a second level at this time, the second adjustment unit 113 is turned off. The first terminal of the coupling unit 114 is written with the first level, and the second terminal is written with the second level. The first control unit 131 is turned on, and the second control unit 132 is turned off. That is, the first control terminal N1 maintains the potential of the previous stage, i.e., maintains the first level. Therefore, the shift output terminal Gout is pulled low.
[0079] In stage T7, the input signal is at a first level (e.g., low), the second clock signal is at a first level, the first clock signal is at a second level (e.g., high), and the shift control signal can be at a first level. At this time, the first feedback module 15 is turned on, and the control terminal of the first adjustment unit 112 is written with a second level, thus turning off the first adjustment unit 112. Simultaneously, both the first control unit 131 and the second control unit 132 are turned on, the first control node N1 is written with a second level, and the first output unit 141 is turned off. At this time, the power supply unit 111 and the shift input unit 121 are turned off. The second control terminal N2 is further coupled low because the end of the second feedback module 16 connected to the second clock signal input terminal jumps to a first level, causing the second output unit 142 to fully conduct, thereby further pulling the signal of the shift output terminal Gout low.
[0080] Optionally, the duration of the effective pulses at the shift input and shift output of the shift register is greater than the period of the second clock signal. For example, the duration of the effective pulses at the shift input and shift output of the shift register is n times the period of the second clock signal, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2, such as 4.
[0081] Optionally, the duration Tx of the effective pulses at the shift input and shift output of the shift register is greater than the duration Ty of the effective pulses of the shift control signal. Optionally, the duration Ty of the effective pulses of the shift control signal is greater than the duration Tz of the effective level of the second clock signal.
