[0002] In the display field, especially in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display devices, the switching process of dynamic display images is prone to causing motion blur, i.e., when switching from one frame to the next, a blur of the previous frame can be perceived.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Similarly, the terms “an,” “a,” or “the,” and similar terms do not indicate a quantity limitation, but rather indicate the presence of at least one. The terms “including,” “comprising,” or “containing,” and similar terms mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. The terms “connected,” “linked,” or similar terms are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. The terms “upper,” “lower,” “left,” and “right,” etc., are used only to indicate relative positional relationships, and these relative positional relationships may change accordingly when the absolute position of the described objects changes.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, a scanning unit and its driving method, gate driving circuit and display device provided in this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Similarly, terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word covers the element or object listed after the word and its equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "coupled" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical coupling, but can include electrical coupling, whether direct or indirect.

[0031] The transistors used in the embodiments of this disclosure can be thin-film transistors (TFTs), field-effect transistors (FETs), or other devices with the same characteristics. Since the source and drain of the transistors are symmetrical, there is no distinction between them. In the embodiments of this disclosure, to distinguish the source and drain of the transistor, one is called the first electrode, the other the second electrode, and the gate is called the control electrode. Furthermore, transistors can be classified into N-type and P-type according to their characteristics. The following embodiments use N-type transistors for illustration. When using an N-type transistor, the first electrode is the source, the second electrode is the drain, and when the gate input is high, the source and drain are conducting. The opposite is true for P-type transistors. It is conceivable that using a P-type transistor is something that those skilled in the art can easily conceive of without inventive effort, and therefore it is also within the scope of protection of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0032] In this embodiment, "effective level signal" refers to a signal that, when input to the control electrode of a transistor, can control the transistor to conduct, and "ineffective level signal" refers to a signal that, when input to the control electrode of a transistor, can control the transistor to cut off. For N-type transistors, a high-level signal is an effective level signal, and a low-level signal is an ineffective level signal; for P-type transistors, a low-level signal is an effective level signal, and a high-level signal is an ineffective level signal.

[0033] Figure 1 An exemplary front view of a display device is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a display device that can be any device that displays text or images, whether in motion (e.g., video) or stationary (e.g., still images). More specifically, the embodiments are contemplated to be implemented in or associated with a variety of electronic devices, such as (but not limited to) mobile phones, wireless devices, personal data assistants (PDAs), handheld or portable computers, GPS receivers / navigators, cameras, MP4 video players, camcorders, game consoles, watches, clocks, calculators, television monitors, flat panel displays, computer monitors, automotive displays (e.g., odometer displays, etc.), navigators, cockpit controllers and / or displays, displays of camera views (e.g., displays of rearview cameras in vehicles), electronic photographs, electronic billboards or signs, projectors, architectural structures, packaging and aesthetic structures (e.g., displays of images of a piece of jewelry), etc. Figure 1 The illustration uses a television as an example.

[0034] The display device includes a display panel. Exemplarily, the display device includes a housing and a display panel, with the display panel attached to the housing. In practical applications, the display device may also include a circuit board, a display driver IC (integrated circuit), and other electronic components disposed inside the housing.

[0035] The display panel can be a liquid crystal display (LCD); it can also be an electroluminescent display panel or a photoluminescent display panel. When the display panel is an electroluminescent display panel, it can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display panel. When the display panel is a photoluminescent display panel, the photoluminescent display device can be a quantum dot photoluminescent display panel. Some embodiments of this disclosure are illustrated using an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel as an example.

[0036] Figure 2 An exemplary structural diagram of a display panel is shown. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the display panel includes a substrate and multiple sub-pixels PX, multiple gate lines GL, and multiple data lines DL disposed on one side of the substrate.

[0037] The substrate can be either a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate, and the choice can be made according to actual needs.

[0038] For example, the substrate is a rigid substrate. For instance, the rigid substrate can be a glass substrate or a PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate) substrate, etc.

[0039] For example, the substrate can be a flexible substrate. For instance, the flexible substrate can be a PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) substrate, a PEN (Polyethylenenaphthalate twoformic acid glycol ester) substrate, or a PI (Polyimide) substrate, etc.

[0040] The display panel may have a display area A and a non-display area B electrically connected to the display area A. The non-display area B may be located on one, two, or three sides of the display area A, or it may surround the display area A. Multiple sub-pixels PX, multiple gate lines GL, and multiple data lines DL may be located within the display area A.

[0041] For example, multiple subpixels PX can be arranged in an array. For instance, the array arrangement of multiple subpixels PX forms multiple subpixel rows and multiple subpixel columns. Multiple subpixels PX in a subpixel row are arranged along a first direction X, and multiple subpixels PX in a subpixel column are arranged along a second direction Y.

[0042] In this configuration, the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect each other. The included angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y can be selected and set according to actual needs. For example, the included angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y can be 85°, 88°, 90°, 92°, or 95°, etc.

[0043] The sub-pixel PX may include a pixel driving circuit P1 and a light-emitting device P2 electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit P1. When the display panel is working, the light-emitting device P2 can emit light under the drive of the pixel driving circuit P1.

[0044] For example, a gate line GL can be electrically connected to multiple pixel driving circuits P1 in a sub-pixel row, and a data line DL can be electrically connected to multiple pixel driving circuits P1 in a sub-pixel column.

[0045] The pixel driving circuit P1 has various structures, which can be selected according to actual needs. For example, the pixel driving circuit P1 can include structures such as "3T1C", "6T1C", "7T1C", "6T2C" or "7T2C". Here, "T" represents a transistor, and the number before "T" indicates the number of transistors; "C" represents a storage capacitor, and the number before "C" indicates the number of storage capacitors.

[0046] During the use of the display device, the stability of the transistors in the pixel driving circuit P1 and the light-emitting device OLED may decrease (e.g., the threshold voltage of the driving transistors drifts), affecting the display effect of the display device. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate for the sub-pixel PX.

[0047] There are various ways to compensate sub-pixels PX, and the appropriate method can be selected based on actual needs. For example, a pixel compensation circuit can be incorporated into the sub-pixel PX to perform internal compensation. Alternatively, the driving transistor or light-emitting device can be sensed by the transistors inside the sub-pixel PX, and the sensed data can be transmitted to an external sensing circuit. This external sensing circuit can then calculate the required driving voltage value for compensation and provide feedback, thereby achieving external compensation for the sub-pixel PX.

[0048] This disclosure illustrates the structure and operation of a sub-pixel PX using an external compensation method (sensing the driving transistor) and a pixel driving circuit with a "3T1C" structure as an example.

[0049] Figure 3 An exemplary circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit is shown. For example, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the pixel driving circuit P1 may include a switching transistor T1, a driving transistor T2, a sensing transistor T3, and a storage capacitor Cst.

[0050] The control terminal of the switching transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first gate signal terminal G1, the first terminal of the switching transistor T1 is electrically connected to the data signal terminal Data, and the second terminal of the switching transistor T1 is electrically connected to the node G. The switching transistor T1 is configured to transmit the data signal from the data signal terminal Data to the node G under the control of the first scan signal of the first gate signal terminal G1.

[0051] Here, the data signals include, for example, detection data signals and display data signals. The detection data signals are used during the blanking period, and the display data signals are used during the display period. The display period and blanking period can be referred to in the descriptions of some of the following embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0052] The control electrode of driving transistor T2 is electrically connected to node G, the first electrode of driving transistor T2 is electrically connected to the sixth voltage signal terminal ELVDD, and the second electrode of driving transistor T2 is electrically connected to node S. Driving transistor T2 is configured to conduct under the signal control of node G and to write a driving signal related to node G and the sixth voltage signal terminal ELVDD to node S.

[0053] The first terminal of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to node G, and the second terminal of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to node S. During the charging of node G, the switching transistor T1 simultaneously charges the storage capacitor Cst.

[0054] The anode of the light-emitting device P2 is electrically connected to node S, and the cathode of the light-emitting device P2 is electrically connected to the seventh voltage signal terminal ELVSS. The light-emitting device P2 is configured to emit light under the drive of a driving signal.

[0055] The control terminal of sensing transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second gate signal terminal G2, the first terminal of sensing transistor T3 is electrically connected to node S, and the second terminal of sensing transistor T3 is electrically connected to the sensing signal terminal Sense. Sensing transistor T3 is configured to detect the electrical characteristics of driving transistor T2 under the control of a second scan signal from the second gate signal terminal G2 to achieve external compensation. These electrical characteristics include, for example, the threshold voltage and / or carrier mobility of driving transistor T2.

[0056] Here, the sensing signal terminal Sense can provide a reset signal or acquire a sensing signal. The reset signal is used to reset node S during the display period, and the acquire sensing signal is used to acquire the threshold voltage and / or carrier mobility of the driving transistor T2 during the blanking period.

[0057] When the structure of pixel driving circuit P1 adopts the following... Figure 3 In the structure shown, multiple pixel driving circuits P1 in a sub-pixel row can be electrically connected to two gate lines GL. For example, the multiple gate lines include a first gate line and a second gate line. The first gate line is electrically connected to multiple first gate signal terminals G1 in a sub-pixel row, so that each first gate signal terminal G1 can receive a first scan signal through the first gate line. The second gate line is electrically connected to multiple second gate signal terminals G2 in a sub-pixel row, so that each second gate signal terminal G2 can receive a second scan signal through the second gate line.

[0058] Of course, multiple pixel driving circuits P1 in a sub-pixel row can also be electrically connected to a gate line GL. Figure 4 An exemplary structural diagram of another display panel is shown. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the first gate signal terminal G1 and the second gate signal terminal G2 in a sub-pixel row are both electrically connected to the same gate line GL.

[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 2 A gate driving circuit is also provided on one side of the substrate. The gate driving circuit, the aforementioned multiple sub-pixels PX, gate lines GL, and data lines DL are located on the same side of the substrate. The gate driving circuit includes multiple cascaded shift registers, each with an output terminal that can be electrically connected to the gate line GL. When the gate driving circuit is operating, the multiple cascaded shift registers output first and second scan signals to the pixel driving circuit P1 step by step through their output terminals.

[0060] It should be noted that during the display phase of one frame, the first scan signal transmitted by the first gate signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal transmitted by the second gate signal terminal G2 are both provided by the gate driving circuit. That is, each shift register in the gate driving circuit can be electrically connected to the first gate signal terminal G1 through the first gate line to transmit the first scan signal to the first gate signal terminal G1 through the first gate line, and can be electrically connected to the second gate signal terminal G2 through the second gate line to transmit the second scan signal to the second scan signal terminal G2 through the second gate line.

[0061] Figure 4 An exemplary structural diagram of another display panel is shown. For example... Figure 4As shown, the first gate signal terminal G1 and the second gate signal terminal G2 of multiple pixel driving circuits P1 in a sub-pixel row can also be electrically connected to the same gate line GL. In this case, the first scan signal and the second scan signal are the same. Each shift register in the gate driving circuit can be electrically connected to the first gate signal terminal G1 and the second gate signal terminal G2 through the corresponding gate line GL, and transmits the scan signal to the first gate signal terminal G1 and the second gate signal terminal G2 through the gate line GL.

[0062] In related technologies, sub-pixels (PXs) exhibit motion blur during operation; that is, when the display device switches from one frame to another, the user perceives a blur of the previous frame. To mitigate this issue, a black data writing process and a black data retention process can be incorporated into the PX's emission process. Figure 5 An example is shown Figure 3 The image shows a signal timing diagram of a pixel driving circuit, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a black data writing process and a black data holding process are added sequentially to the original emission process, which is to say, a black insertion process is set up. This reduces the emission time and enhances the Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT). The larger the MPRT, the less ghosting occurs.

[0063] The control circuit P1 for writing data and emitting light is called display driving; the control circuit P1 for writing and holding black data is called black insertion driving. The gate driving circuit can simultaneously perform both display driving and black insertion driving functions; that is, each stage of the shift register within the gate driving circuit can be used for both display driving and black insertion driving. Figure 5 As can be seen, the timing of the display drive and the timing of the black insertion drive are not synchronized. Therefore, the circuit structure in the gate drive circuit used to implement the display drive can have different cascading relationships with the circuit structure used to implement the black insertion drive.

[0064] The operation of the gate drive circuit can include alternating display drive and black bar insertion drive phases. During the display drive phase, several shift registers within the gate drive circuit sequentially output display drive signals (e.g., ...) for display driving. Figure 5 In the black insertion drive stage, the output terminals of several shift registers in the gate drive circuit output black insertion drive signals for black insertion drive (e.g., pulse 1); Figure 5 Pulse 2 in the middle.

[0065] Figure 6 An exemplary circuit block diagram of a shift register is shown. For example... Figure 6As shown, the shift register includes a first scanning unit MD1, which includes a first display input circuit 11, a first display shift circuit 12, a black bead input circuit 13, a first black bead shift circuit 14, and a first output circuit 15.

[0066] The first display input circuit 11 is connected to the first voltage terminal GVDD1 and the first display input terminal CR. <k-1>The first pull-up node Q1 is electrically connected. The first output circuit 15 is electrically connected to the first pull-up node Q1, the first signal terminal CLKE1, and the first output terminal Gout1. The first display shift circuit 12 is connected to the first pull-up node Q1, the first shift signal terminal CLKD3, and the first shift output terminal CR. <k>Electrical connection.

[0067] During the display driving phase, the first display input circuit 11 is configured to operate at the first display input terminal CR. <k-1>Under the signal control of the first voltage terminal GVDD1, the signal of the first voltage terminal GVDD1 is written to the first pull-up node Q1. The first output circuit 15 is configured to write the signal of the first signal terminal Gout1 under the signal control of the first pull-up node Q1. The first display shift circuit 12 is configured to write the signal of the first shift signal terminal CLKD3 to the first shift output terminal CR under the signal control of the first pull-up node Q1. <k>.

[0068] The first voltage terminal GVDD1 can be supplied with a constant level signal. For example, the first voltage terminal GVDD1 can be supplied with a constant high level signal. Exemplarily, the display panel includes a first voltage line, a constant high level signal is supplied through the first voltage line, and the first voltage line is electrically connected to the first voltage terminal GVDD1.

[0069] The first pull-up node Q1 does not represent an actual existing component, but rather the junction point of related electrical connections in the circuit diagram. In other words, the first pull-up node Q1 is an equivalent node derived from the junction point of related electrical connections in the circuit diagram. Similarly, the second pull-up node Q2, the first pull-down node QB1, the second pull-down node QB2, node G, node S, the first node P, and the second node M in this embodiment are all equivalent nodes derived from the junction points of related electrical connections in the circuit diagram.

[0070] First display input terminal CR <k-1>It can be electrically connected to the start signal line STV to receive the start signal in the start signal line STV. For example, when the shift register is the first shift register in the gate drive circuit, the first display input terminal CR in the shift register... <k-1>Electrically connected to the start signal line STV. First display input terminal CR <k-1>It can also be electrically connected to the previous level shift register to receive the first shift signal output by the previous shift register. For example, the shift register is the nth shift register (n>1), and the first display input terminal CR of the nth shift register... <k-1>It is electrically connected to the (n-1)th shift register.

[0071] The first output terminal Gout1 can be electrically connected to the gate line GL to provide a scan signal to the first gate signal terminal G1 and / or the second gate signal terminal G2 through the gate line GL.

[0072] The first signal terminal can be electrically connected to a clock signal line. For example, the gate drive circuit includes multiple display clock signal lines CE, and the first signal terminal is electrically connected to the display clock signal lines CE.

[0073] The first shift signal terminal CLKD3 can be electrically connected to a clock signal line. For example, the gate drive circuit includes multiple black-stamped clock signal lines CD, and the first shift signal terminal CLKD3 is electrically connected to the black-stamped clock signal lines CD.

[0074] For example, the first display input terminal CR <k-1>When receiving a high-level signal from the previous stage shift register or the start signal line STV, the path between the first voltage terminal GVDD1 and the first pull-up node Q1 is connected, and the high-level signal of the first voltage terminal GVDD1 is written into the first pull-up node Q1, making the signal of the first pull-up node Q1 a high-level signal. Under the control of the high-level signal of the first pull-up node Q1, the first output circuit 15 connects the path between the first signal terminal and the first output terminal Gout1, and the high-level signal of the first signal terminal is written into the first output terminal Gout1. That is, the first output terminal Gout1 of the shift register provides a high-level signal to the first gate signal terminal G1 and the second gate signal terminal G2 through the gate line GL, causing the pixel driving circuit P1 to write the image data signal. Under the control of the high-level signal of the first pull-up node Q1, the first shift signal terminal CLKD3 and the first shift output terminal CR <k>The path between them is connected, and the high-level signal of the first shift signal terminal CLKD3 is written to the first shift output terminal CR. <k>.

[0075] That is, the first display input circuit 11, the first output circuit 15, and the first display shift circuit 12 constitute a display driving module to realize display driving. For example, the gate driving circuit may include multiple display driving modules, and the first shift output terminal CR of the previous display driving module <k>With the first display input terminal CR of the next display driver module <k-1>Electrical connections are used to enable the cascading of multiple display driver modules.

[0076] Black bar input circuit 13 and first black bar input terminal CR2 <k-2>The first control terminal BCK1, the second voltage terminal V2, the second control terminal BCK2, and the first pull-up node Q1 are electrically connected. The first black-insertion shift circuit 14 is connected to the first pull-up node Q1, the second shift signal terminal CLKD2, and the second shift output terminal CR2. <k>Electrical connection.

[0077] During the black insertion drive phase, the black insertion input circuit 13 is configured to operate at the first black insertion input terminal CR2. <k-2>Under the signal control of the first control terminal BCK1, the signal of the second voltage terminal V2 is written to the first pull-up node Q1. The first output circuit 15 is also configured to write the signal of the first signal terminal to the first output terminal Gout1 under the signal control of the first pull-up node Q1. The first black-insertion shift circuit 14 is configured to write the signal of the second shift signal terminal to the second shift output terminal CR2 under the signal control of the first pull-up node Q1. <k>.

[0078] The first control terminal BCK1 and the second control terminal BCK2 can be electrically connected to clock signal lines. For example, the gate drive circuit includes multiple control signal lines BC, and the first control terminal BCK1 and the second control terminal BCK2 can be electrically connected to different control signal lines BC.

[0079] The second voltage terminal V2 can be supplied with the same signal as the second control terminal BCK2, for example, the second voltage terminal V2 can be electrically connected to the second control terminal BCK2. The second voltage terminal V2 can also be supplied with a constant level signal, for example, the display panel includes a fourth voltage line GVDD4, the fourth voltage line is supplied with a constant high level signal, and the second voltage terminal V2 is electrically connected to the fourth voltage line GVDD4.

[0080] For example, the first black input terminal CR2 <k-2>Both the first control terminal BCK1 and the second control terminal BCK2 receive high-level signals, making the path between the second voltage terminal V2 and the first pull-up node Q1 conductive. The high-level signal of the second voltage terminal V2 is written into the first pull-up node Q1. Under the control of the high-level signal of the first pull-up node Q1, the first output circuit 15 makes the path between the first signal terminal and the first output terminal Gout1 conductive. The high-level signal of the first signal terminal is written into the first output terminal Gout1. That is, the first output terminal Gout1 of the shift register provides a high-level signal to the first gate signal terminal G1 and the second gate signal terminal G2 through the gate line GL, so that the pixel driving circuit P1 writes the black data signal. Under the control of the high-level signal of the first pull-up node Q1, the first black insertion shift circuit 14 makes the second shift signal terminal CLKD2 and the second shift output terminal CR2 conductive. <k>The path between them is connected, and the high-level signal of the second shift signal terminal CLKD2 is written to the second shift output terminal CR2. <k>.

[0081] That is, the black bar insertion input circuit 13, the first output circuit 15, and the first black bar insertion shift circuit 14 constitute a black bar insertion driving module to realize black bar insertion driving. The gate driving circuit may include multiple black bar insertion driving modules, and the previous black bar insertion driving module and the next black bar insertion driving module can be cascaded through the first black bar insertion shift circuit 14.

[0082] The shift register in this embodiment includes a black bead insertion input circuit 13, a first black bead insertion shift circuit 14, a first display input circuit 11, a first display shift circuit 12, and a first output circuit 15. The first output circuit 15 is electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit P1 to control the pixel driving circuit P1 to write screen data signals and black data signals. The black bead insertion input circuit 13, the first output circuit 15, and the first black bead insertion shift circuit 14 constitute a black bead insertion driving module to implement black bead insertion driving, and the first display input circuit 11, the first output circuit 15, and the first display shift circuit 12 constitute a display driving module to implement display driving. The first black bead insertion shift circuit 14 can be used to cascade different black bead insertion driving modules, and the first display shift circuit 12 can be used to cascade different display driving modules, that is, the first black bead insertion shift circuit 14 can be set separately to achieve cascading between different black bead insertion driving modules. Compared with the cascading of black-insertion drive modules by reusing display shift circuits and / or display output circuits in related technologies, the first black-insertion shift circuit 14 in this embodiment of the present disclosure cascades across fewer shift registers and is less difficult to wire.

[0083] The first scanning unit MD1 may include multiple first output circuits 15, each electrically connected to a different gate line GL. This allows the first scanning unit MD1 to simultaneously drive multiple rows of sub-pixels PX, reducing the number of first scanning units MD1. The more first output circuits 15 included in the first scanning unit MD1, the fewer first scanning units MD1 are required, but the more display clock signal lines are needed to be electrically connected to the first output circuits 15. Therefore, the first scanning unit MD1 may include four first output circuits 15, reducing the number of first scanning units MD1 without excessively increasing the number of display clock signal lines.

[0084] For example, the display clock signal lines include a first display clock signal line CE1, a second display clock signal line CE2, a third display clock signal line CE3, and a fourth display clock signal line CE4. The four display clock signal lines are electrically connected to four first output circuits 15, respectively. The first output circuit 15 electrically connected to the first display clock signal line CE1 is electrically connected to the Nth row sub-pixel PX, the first output circuit 15 electrically connected to the second display clock signal line CE2 is electrically connected to the (N+1)th row sub-pixel PX, the first output circuit 15 electrically connected to the third display clock signal line CE3 is electrically connected to the (N+2)th row sub-pixel PX, and the first output circuit 15 electrically connected to the fourth display clock signal line CE4 is electrically connected to the (N+3)th row sub-pixel PX.

[0085] Of course, the number of the first output circuits 15 in the first scanning unit MD1 is not limited in the embodiments disclosed herein; it can be one, two, three, five, etc.

[0086] The shift register may consist only of the first scan unit MD1. In this case, multiple shift registers in the gate drive circuit are cascaded, i.e., multiple first scan units MD1 are cascaded. For example, the multiple shift registers may include cascaded first shift registers and second shift registers, with the first shift output terminal CR of the first shift register... <k>With the first display input terminal CR of the second shift register <k-1>Electrical connection, the second shift output terminal CR2 of the first shift register <k>The first black-insertion input CR2 of the second shift register <k-2>Electrical connection.

The four first output circuits 15 of the first shift register are electrically connected to the first display clock signal line CE1, the second display clock signal line CE2, the third display clock signal line CE3, and the fourth display clock signal line CE4, respectively. The four first output circuits 15 of the second shift register are electrically connected to the fifth display clock signal line CE5, the sixth display clock signal line CE6, the seventh display clock signal line CE7, and the eighth display clock signal line CE8, respectively.

That is, black pixel insertion is achieved by driving the sub-pixel PX electrically connected to the first scanning unit MD1 through the first black pixel insertion input circuit 13a, and black pixel insertion is achieved by driving the sub-pixel PX electrically connected to the second scanning unit MD2 through the second black pixel insertion input circuit 13b.

[0115] At the same time, the signal written by the first black bar input circuit 13a at the first pull-up node Q1 and the signal written by the second black bar input circuit 13b at the second pull-up node Q2 can be the same. Here, "signals are the same" means that the signal written by the first black bar input circuit 13a at the first pull-up node Q1 can drive the first output circuit 15 to conduct the first signal terminal and the first output terminal Gout1, and the signal written by the second black bar input circuit 13b at the second pull-up node Q2 can drive the second output circuit 18 to conduct the second signal terminal and the second output terminal Gout2, not necessarily that the two signals have strictly identical level values.

[0116] When the signal written by the first black pixel insertion input circuit 13a to the first pull-up node Q1 and the signal written by the second black pixel insertion input circuit 13b to the second pull-up node Q2 are the same, the sub-pixel PX electrically connected to the first black pixel insertion input circuit 13a and the sub-pixel PX electrically connected to the second black pixel insertion input circuit 13b can be driven to simultaneously perform black pixel insertion, thereby reducing the black pixel insertion time.

[0117] Figure 10 An exemplary circuit diagram of a shift register is shown. For example... Figure 9 and 10 As shown: The first black plug input circuit 13a can be connected to the first black plug input terminal CR2. <k-2>The first control terminal BCK1, the second control terminal BCK2, the second voltage terminal V2, and the first pull-up node Q1 are electrically connected. The first black insert input circuit 13a is configured to connect at the first black insert input terminal CR2. <k-2>Under the signal control of the first control terminal BCK1 and the second control terminal BCK2, the signal of the second voltage terminal V2 is written into the first pull-up node Q1.

[0118] The second black plug input circuit 13b can also be connected to the first black plug input terminal CR2. <k-2>The first control terminal BCK1, the second control terminal BCK2, the second voltage terminal V2, and the second pull-up node Q2 are electrically connected.

[0119] Since both the first black bar input circuit 13a and the second black bar input circuit 13b are electrically connected to the first black bar input terminal, the first control terminal BCK1, the second control terminal BCK2, and the second voltage terminal V2, the signal written by the first black bar input circuit 13a at the first pull-up node Q1 is the same as the signal that the second black bar input circuit 13b can write at the second pull-up node Q2, and the number of signal lines electrically connected to the black bar input circuit 13 is reduced.

[0120] Figure 11 An exemplary circuit diagram of a first black-plug input circuit is shown. For example... Figure 11 As shown, the first black input circuit 13a includes a first sub-circuit 1 and a second sub-circuit 2.
