AI Technical Summary
When updating the screen, OLED displays need to initialize and write all pixel voltages within one frame, resulting in large power consumption. Especially when most of the pixel voltages in the entire screen do not need to be updated under the screen rest display or static screen, repeated writing will lead to increased power consumption.
A shift register is designed, including a cascading output sub-circuit, an output control sub-circuit and a scan output sub-circuit. By switching control signals, only pixels that need to be updated are initialized and written, reducing repeated writes to other pixels and reducing power consumption.
Through switching control signals, data voltage updates of some rows are realized, local screen refreshes in different frames are controlled, power consumption of the display panel is reduced, and power consumption is saved.

[0119] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer and more understandable, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation manners can be implemented in multiple different forms. It is easy for those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the fact that the manners and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited only to the contents described in the following implementation manners. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined arbitrarily with each other. To keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the detailed descriptions of some known functions and known components are omitted. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures can refer to the general design.
[0120] The drawing ratios in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in actual processes, but are not limited thereto. For example: the width - length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub - pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic diagrams, and one manner of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0121] The ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", etc. in this specification are set to avoid confusion of components, rather than to limit in terms of quantity.
[0122] In this specification, for convenience, terms indicating orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are used to describe the positional relationship of the components with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this specification and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the components is appropriately changed according to the directions describing the components. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms described in the specification and can be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.
[0123] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "coupled" shall be construed in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate member, or the internal communication of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0124] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region where current mainly flows.
[0125] In this specification, the first pole can be the drain electrode and the second pole can be the source electrode, or the first pole can be the source electrode and the second pole can be the drain electrode. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, etc., the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" sometimes switch with each other. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be switched with each other.
[0126] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes the case where components are connected together through an element having a certain electrical effect. There is no particular limitation on the "element having a certain electrical effect" as long as it can transfer electrical signals between the components to be connected. Examples of the "element having a certain electrical effect" include not only electrodes and wirings, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.
[0127] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is more than -10° and less than 10°. Therefore, it also includes the state where the angle is more than -5° and less than 5°. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is more than 80° and less than 100°. Therefore, it also includes the state where the angle is more than 85° and less than 95°.
[0128] In this specification, "film" and "layer" can be interchanged with each other. For example, sometimes "conductive layer" can be changed to "conductive film". Similarly, sometimes "insulating film" can be changed to "insulating layer".
[0129] In this specification, the "same-layer setting" adopted means a structure formed by patterning two (or more than two) structures through the same patterning process, and their materials can be the same or different. For example, the materials of the precursors for forming multiple structures with the same-layer setting are the same, and the finally formed materials can be the same or different.
[0130] Triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc. in this specification are not strictly defined and can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc. There can be some small deformations caused by tolerances, and there can be chamfers, arc edges, and deformations, etc.
[0131] "About" in this disclosure means not strictly defining the boundary and allowing values within the process and measurement error ranges.
[0132] OLED display technology has advantages such as high contrast, fast response, and low power consumption. In order to reduce power consumption, a display technology of low temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO for short) is achieved by combining low temperature poly-silicon (abbreviated as LTPS) and indium gallium zinc oxide (abbreviated as IGZO). LTPO can achieve low frame rate display and reduce the driving power consumption by reducing the repeated refreshing of static pictures. However, when updating the picture of an OLED display, it is necessary to initialize and write the voltages of all pixels within one frame. And in some special pictures, such as always-on display (AOD for short), static pictures, or pictures with less updates, etc., the voltages of most pixels on the entire screen do not need to be updated. At this time, the repeated writing of these pixels makes the power consumption of the display relatively large.

[0191] Figure 12B The working timing diagram of the shift register provided for an exemplary embodiment is as follows. Next, Figure 11 the working process of the exemplary shift register is used to illustrate the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Taking Figure 11 the first transistor T1 to the eighth transistor T8, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the first control signal terminal MS1 to the third control signal terminal MS3, and the scan signal output terminal OUT in the provided shift register as examples, the scan signal output terminal OUT includes the scan signal output terminals Nout1... Noutn, Noutn+1, Nout... Nout m, Nout m+1, Nout m+2... Nout k of different frames.
[0192] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 12B shown, by changing the voltage of the control signal MS (the first control signal MS1, the second control signal MS2, and the third control signal MS3), it is possible to control whether to output a low-level signal at the scan signal output terminal OUT, and it is possible to achieve the high-level output of the scan signal output terminal within a frame, realize the update of the data voltage Vdata of some rows, control the local screen refresh of different frames, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display panel. While the scan signal output terminals of other rows are always at a low level and will not repeatedly charge and discharge the initial signal line and the data voltage Vdata, saving power.
[0193] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 12B shown, the working process of the shift register can be divided into three stages:
[0194] Initialization stage: When reaching the second last line of the initialization frame, the first pulse of the first control signal terminal MS1 turns on. At this time, the third node N3 is at a low-level signal, the first node N1 is at a high-level signal, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and the fourth transistor T4 is turned off. The third node N3 writes the low-level signal of the third control signal terminal MS3 and is held by the first capacitor C1. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, the first node N1 is connected to the fourth node N4, and the second node N2 is connected to the fifth node N5. The scanning signal output terminals Nout1... Noutn, Noutn+1, Nout... Nout m, Nout m+1, Nout m+2... Nout k of different frames can output normally.
[0195] High-frequency to low-frequency stage: At the last line of the high-frequency region frame, the second pulse of the first control signal MS1 turns on. If the cascade output terminal Sout outputs a low-level signal at this time, that is, the first node N1 is at a high-level signal and the third node N3 is at a low-level signal, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and the sixth node N6 writes the high-level signal of the third control signal MS3. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off, the fourth node N4 maintains a high-level signal, and the fifth node N5 maintains a low-level signal, so that the scanning signal output terminals Nout1... Noutn, Noutn+1, Nout... Nout m, Nout m+1, Nout m+2... Nout k of the corresponding different frames can always be maintained at a low-level signal. If the cascade output terminal Sout outputs a high-level signal at this time, that is, the first node N1 is at a low-level signal and the third node N3 is at a high-level signal, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and the sixth node N6 writes the low-level signal of the second control signal MS2 and is held by the first capacitor C1. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, the fourth node N4 still maintains a low-level signal, and the fifth node N5 is still at a high-level signal. The scanning signal output terminals Nout1... Noutn, Noutn+1, Nout... Nout m, Nout m+1, Nout m+2... Nout k of different frames can still output a high-level signal. When the cascade output terminal Sout switches to a low level, the scanning signal output terminals Nout1... Noutn, Noutn+1, Nout... Nout m, Nout m+1, Nout m+2... Nout k of different frames can output a low-level signal. In other words, at this time, the scanning signal output terminals Nout1... Noutn, Noutn+1, Nout... Nout m, Nout m+1, Nout m+2... Nout k of the corresponding different frames can output a low-level signal after maintaining the complete high-level waveform output.
[0196] Low-frequency to high-frequency stage: At the last line of the frame in the low-frequency region, the third pulse of the first control signal MS1 turns on. If the output of the cascade output terminal Sout is a low-level signal at this time, the timing process is the same as that in the initialization stage, and the scan signal output terminals Nout1... Noutn, Noutn+1, Nout... Nout m, Nout m+1, Nout m+2... Nout k of different frames can be normally output. If the output of the cascade output terminal Sout is a high-level signal at this time, that is, the first node N1 is a low-level signal and the third node N3 is a high-level signal, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and the high-level signal of the second control signal MS2 is written to the sixth node N6 and is held by the first capacitor C1. The fourth node N4 is maintained at the high-level signal of the previous stage by the second capacitor C2, and the fifth node N5 remains at the low-level signal, and the output waveforms of the scan signal output terminals Nout1... Noutn, Noutn+1, Nout... Nout m, Nout m+1, Nout m+2... Nout k of the corresponding different frames can be maintained at the low level.
[0197] Figure 13 The output waveform diagram of the shift register provided for an exemplary embodiment is as Figure 13 shown, and the control of the scan signal output terminals OUT1 to OUT13 of thirteen rows of pixels can be realized by the voltage switching of the first control signal MS1, the first control signal MS2, and the third control signal MS3. Among them, Figure 13 the abscissa represents time, and the unit can be microseconds (us, which can be abbreviated as u).
[0198] Figure 14 The working timing diagram of the cascade output sub-circuit provided for an exemplary embodiment is as follows. Through Figure 10 or Figure 11 the working process of the example cascade output sub-circuit, the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described. Taking Figure 10 or Figure 11 the ninth transistor T9 to the twenty-fifth transistor T25, the third capacitor C3 to the sixth capacitor C6, the input terminal SIN, the first clock signal terminal CK1, the second clock signal terminal CK2, and the cascade output terminal SOUT in the provided cascade output sub-circuit as an example.
[0199] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 14 shown, the working process of the cascade output sub-circuit may include:
[0200] In the first stage E1, the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a high-level signal, and the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a low-level signal. Since the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a low-level signal, the seventeenth transistor T17, the nineteenth transistor T19, the twelfth transistor T12, and the fourteenth transistor T14 are turned on. The turned-on seventeenth transistor T17 transmits the high-level signal of the input terminal SIN to the second node N2, and the signal of the second node N2 becomes a high-level signal. The turned-on twelfth transistor T12 transmits the high-level signal of the second node N2 to the third node N3. The turned-on fourteenth transistor T14 transmits the high-level signal of the input terminal SIN to the eighth node N8, and the signal of the eighth node N8 becomes a high-level signal. The turned-on fifteenth transistor T15 transmits the high-level signal of the eighth node N8 to the twelfth node N12. The eighteenth transistor T18, the twentieth transistor T20, the twenty-fourth transistor T24, and the tenth transistor T10 are turned off. Additionally, the turned-on nineteenth transistor T19 transmits the low-level signal of the second power supply terminal V2 to the seventh node N7, and the signal of the seventh node N7 becomes a low-level signal. The turned-on eleventh transistor T11 transmits the low-level signal of the seventh node N7 to the ninth node N9, and the signal of the ninth node N9 becomes a low-level signal. The twenty-first transistor T21 and the twenty-second transistor T22 are turned on. The signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a high-level signal, and the twenty-third transistor T23 is turned off. Additionally, due to the effect of the third capacitor C3, the ninth transistor T9 is turned off. In the first stage E1, since both the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 are turned off, the signal of the cascaded output terminal SOUT remains the previous low level.
[0201] In the second stage E2, the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a low-level signal, and the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a high-level signal. Since the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a low-level signal, the twenty-third transistor T23 is turned on. Since the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a high-level signal, the seventeenth transistor T17 and the nineteenth transistor T19 are turned off. Due to the effect of the third capacitor C3, the second node N2, the third node N3, the eighth node N8, and the twelfth node N12 can continue to maintain the high-level signals of the previous stage. Due to the effect of the fifth capacitor C5, the ninth node N9 can continue to maintain the low level of the previous stage. Therefore, the twenty-first transistor T21 and the twenty-second transistor T22 are turned on. The eighteenth transistor T18, the twentieth transistor T20, the twenty-fourth transistor T24, and the tenth transistor T10 are turned off. Additionally, the low-level signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is transmitted to the first node N1 through the turned-on twenty-second transistor T22 and the twenty-third transistor T23. The ninth transistor T9 is turned on. The turned-on ninth transistor T9 outputs the high-level signal of the first power supply terminal V1, and the signal of the cascaded output terminal SOUT is a high-level signal.
[0202] In the third stage E3, the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a low-level signal, and the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a high-level signal. Since the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a high-level signal, the twenty-third transistor T23 is cut off. The eighteenth transistor T18, the twentieth transistor T20, the twenty-fourth transistor T24, and the tenth transistor T10 are cut off. Since the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a low-level signal, the seventeenth transistor T17 and the nineteenth transistor T19 are turned on. Under the action of the third capacitor C3, the ninth transistor T9 remains in the on state, and the on ninth transistor T9 outputs the high-level signal of the first power supply terminal V1, and the signal of the cascade output terminal SOUT is still a high-level signal.
[0203] In the fourth stage E4, the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a low-level signal, and the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a high-level signal. Since the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a high-level signal, the seventeenth transistor T17 and the nineteenth transistor T19 are cut off. Since the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a low-level signal, the twenty-third transistor T23 is turned on. Due to the storage effect of the third capacitor C3, the signals of the second node N2, the third node N3, the eighth node N8, and the twelfth node N12 remain the high-level signals of the previous stage, and the eighteenth transistor T18, the twentieth transistor T20, the twenty-fourth transistor T24, and the tenth transistor T10 are cut off. Due to the storage effect of the fifth capacitor C5, the ninth node N9 continues to maintain the low level of the previous stage, and the twenty-first transistor T21 and the twenty-second transistor T22 are turned on. In addition, the low-level signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is transmitted to the first node N1 through the on twenty-second transistor T22 and the twenty-third transistor T23, the on ninth transistor T9 outputs the high-level signal of the first power supply terminal V1, and the signal of the cascade output terminal SOUT is still a high-level signal.
[0204] In the fifth stage E5, the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a high-level signal, and the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a low-level signal. Since the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a low-level signal, the seventeenth transistor T17, the nineteenth transistor T19, and the fourteenth transistor T14 are turned on. Since the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a high-level signal, the twenty-third transistor T23 is turned off. The turned-on seventeenth transistor T17 transmits the low-level signal of the input terminal SIN to the second node N2, and the signal of the second node N2 becomes a low-level signal. The turned-on twelfth transistor T12 transmits the low-level signal of the second node N2 to the third node N3, and the signal of the third node N3 becomes a low-level signal. The turned-on fourteenth transistor T14 transmits the low-level signal of the input terminal SIN to the eighth node N8, and the signal of the eighth node N8 becomes a low-level signal. The turned-on fifteenth transistor T15 transmits the low-level signal of the eighth node N8 to the twelfth node N12, and the signal of the twelfth node N12 becomes a low-level signal. The eighteenth transistor T18, the twentieth transistor T20, the twenty-fourth transistor T24, and the tenth transistor T10 are turned on. The turned-on eighteenth transistor T18 transmits the signal of the low-level first clock signal terminal CK1 to the seventh node N7, which can pull down the level of the seventh node N7. Therefore, the seventh node N7 and the ninth node N9 continue to maintain the low level of the previous stage, and the twenty-first transistor T21 and the twenty-second transistor T22 are turned on. Since the signal of the second clock signal terminal CK2 is a high-level signal, the twenty-third transistor T23 is turned off. Additionally, the turned-on twenty-fourth transistor T24 transmits the high-level signal of the first power supply terminal V1 to the first node N1, and the ninth transistor T9 is turned off. The turned-on tenth transistor T10 outputs the low-level signal of the second power supply terminal V2, and the signal of the cascaded output terminal SOUT becomes a low-level signal.

[0235] Figure 16B For Figure 16A the provided timing diagram of the operation of the pixel circuit. The following Figure 16B illustrates the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure through the operation process of the exemplary pixel circuit. The operation process of the pixel circuit may include:
[0236] The first stage A1, called the reset stage, the signals of the control signal line Scan, the light-emitting signal line EM, and the scanning signal line Gate are all high-level signals, and the signal of the reset signal line Reset is a low-level signal. Since the signal of the reset signal line Reset is a low-level signal, the first control transistor M1 is turned on, the signal of the first initial signal line INIT1 is provided to the fourth node E4, the seventh control transistor M7 is turned on, the initial voltage of the second initial signal line INIT2 is provided to the first pole of the light-emitting device L, and the first pole of the light-emitting device L is initialized (reset), for example: clearing the pre-stored voltage inside it, completing the initialization, and ensuring that the light-emitting device L does not emit light. Since the signal of the control signal line Scan is a high-level signal, the eighth control transistor M8 is turned on, the signal of the fourth node E4 is provided to the first node E1, and the capacitor C is initialized to clear the original data voltage in the capacitor C. Since the signals of the scanning signal line Gate and the light-emitting signal line EM are high-level signals, the second control transistor M2, the fourth control transistor M4, the fifth control transistor M5, the sixth control transistor M6, and the seventh control transistor M7 are turned off. In this stage, the light-emitting device L does not emit light.
[0237] The second stage A2, called the data writing stage or the threshold compensation stage, has the signal of the scanning signal line Gate as a low-level signal, the signals of the reset signal line Reset, the light-emitting signal line EM, and the control signal line Scan as high-level signals, and the data signal line Data outputs a data voltage. In this stage, since the first node E1 is a low-level signal, the third control transistor M3 is turned on. The signal of the scanning signal line Gate is a low-level signal, the second control transistor M2 and the fourth control transistor M4 are turned on, the signal of the control signal line Scan is a high-level signal, and the eighth control transistor M8 is turned on. The conduction of the second control transistor M2, the fourth control transistor M4, and the eighth control transistor M8 causes the data voltage output by the data signal line Data to be provided to the first node E1 through the third node E3, the turned-on third control transistor M3, the second node E2, the turned-on second control transistor M2, the fourth node E4, and the turned-on eighth control transistor M8, and the difference between the data voltage output by the data signal line Data and the threshold voltage of the third control transistor M3 is charged into the capacitor C until the voltage of the first node E1 is Vd - |Vth|, where Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line Data and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third control transistor M3. The signal of the reset signal line Reset is a low-level signal, and the first control transistor M1 and the seventh control transistor M7 are turned off. The signal of the light-emitting signal line EM is a high-level signal, and the fifth control transistor M5 and the sixth control transistor M6 are turned off.
[0238] The third stage A3, called the light-emitting stage, has the signals of the control signal line Scan and the light-emitting signal line EM as low-level signals, and the signals of the scanning signal line Gate and the reset signal line Reset as high-level signals. The signal of the reset signal line Reset is a low-level signal, and the first control transistor M1 and the seventh control transistor M7 are cut off. The control signal line Scan is a low-level signal, and the signals of the scanning signal line Gate and the reset signal line Reset are high-level signals, so the second control transistor M2, the fourth control transistor M4, and the eighth control transistor M8 are cut off. The signal of the light-emitting signal line EM is a low-level signal, and the fifth control transistor M5 and the sixth control transistor M6 are turned on. The power supply voltage output by the high-level power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first pole of the light-emitting device L through the turned-on fifth control transistor M5, the third control transistor M3, and the sixth control transistor M6 to drive the light-emitting device L to emit light.
[0239] During the driving process of the pixel circuit, the driving current flowing through the third control transistor M3 (driving control transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between the control electrode and the first electrode. Since the voltage of the first node E1 is Vd - |Vth|, the driving current of the third control transistor M3 is:
[0240] I = K * (Vgs - Vth)2 = K * [(Vdd - Vd + |Vth|) - Vth] 2 = K * (Vdd - Vd) 2
[0241] Wherein, I is the driving current flowing through the third control transistor M3, that is, the driving current for driving the light-emitting device L, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the control electrode and the first electrode of the third control transistor M3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third control transistor M3, Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line Data, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the high-level power supply line VDD.
[0242] The gate driving circuit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can control the opening and closing of the gates of the transistors in the pixel circuit to achieve the refresh of the pixel brightness. When the gate driving circuit controls the gates of the transistors in the pixel circuit to be in the off state, it can achieve that some pixels are not refreshed, and in some special pictures, such as AOD, static pictures, or pictures with less updates, etc., the relevant pixel voltages are not updated, avoiding repeated writing to the relevant pixels, which may cause a relatively large power consumption of the display.
