[0030] In the driving circuit, K equals 1; the driving circuit is located on one side of the display panel and is used to output the image scanning signal and / or the acquisition scanning signal to the display panel.
[0031] In the driving circuit, K equals 2;
[0032] The first sampling driving unit and the sampling driving units cascaded thereafter are disposed on the first side of the display panel, and the second sampling driving unit and the sampling driving units cascaded thereafter are disposed on the second side of the display panel, with the first side and the second side opposite to each other;

The trigger control terminal is connected to a strobe signal, the trigger input terminal is connected to a data acquisition start signal, and the scan input terminal is connected to a corresponding scan clock signal. This ensures that when the strobe signal is at a valid acquisition level, the first K sampling driving units output the first K rows of acquisition scan signals at their respective scan output terminals. Simultaneously, by cascading the subsequent K-th sampling driving units with the first K sampling driving units, each subsequent sampling driving unit includes a trigger control terminal, a scan input terminal, and a scan output terminal. The trigger control terminal is connected to a trigger signal, the scan input terminal is connected to a corresponding scan clock signal, and the acquisition scan signal output by the m-th sampling driving unit serves as the trigger signal for the (m+K)-th sampling driving unit. This enables multiple sampling driving units to sequentially output acquisition scan signals line by line, thereby achieving the timing scan signal required for acquiring pixel voltages. Furthermore, by configuring the gating signal to an effective acquisition level in the anonymization zone of each frame of the image signal on the display panel, the driving circuit outputs acquisition scan signals line by line in the anonymization zone of each frame of the image signal. This allows the voltage acquisition module to be turned on line by line during the anonymization zone period, thereby achieving pixel voltage acquisition. By having the driving circuit output acquisition scan signals during the anonymization zone period of each frame of the image signal, the image display on the display panel will not be affected. At the same time, by making the structure of the driving circuit similar to that of the gate driving module, and by ensuring that the timing of its required acquisition start signal is the same as that of the reset signal required by the sub-pixel unit of the display panel, and that the required gating signal and scan clock signal are the same as those of the gate driving module, the driving circuit can be fabricated together with the gate driving module without the need for additional design and fabrication of acquisition timing chips. This effectively reduces the number of chips and the process cost in the bonding area of the display panel. Attached Figure Description

[0056] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0057] Please see Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the display device provided in the first embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, a display device 100 is provided, which includes a display panel 10, a gate driving module 40, a driving circuit 50, a data driving module 20, and a timing control module 30. The gate driving module 40 and the driving circuit 50 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the display panel 10.
[0058] The display panel 10 includes multiple image scan lines S(1) to S(M), multiple acquisition scan lines Em(1) to Em(M), multiple data lines, and multiple sub-pixel units 11 arranged in a matrix. The multiple image scan lines S(1) to S(M) extend along a first direction and are spaced apart along a second direction, used to transmit image scan signals G(1) to G(M) to the sub-pixel units 11. The acquisition scan lines Em(1) to Em(M) are spaced apart from and insulated from the image scan lines S(1) to S(M). The multiple acquisition scan lines Em(1) to Em(M) extend along the first direction and are spaced apart along the second direction, used to transmit acquisition scan signals E(1) to E(M) to the sub-pixel units 11. The multiple data lines extend along the second direction and are spaced apart along the first direction. The image scan lines S(1) to S(M) form a grid, defining the area of sub-pixel units 11. Each grid area is provided with one sub-pixel unit 11. Data lines are used to transmit data signals to the sub-pixel units 11. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. In this embodiment, the row direction of the matrix formed by the sub-pixel units 11 is defined as the first direction, and the column direction of the matrix is defined as the second direction, in order to illustrate the embodiment of this application. In other embodiments, the first direction and the second direction can also be defined according to the arrangement design of the sub-pixel units 11.
[0059] Each sub-pixel unit 11 includes a driving unit and a liquid crystal unit. The driving unit includes a driving transistor Q1, whose gate is electrically connected to the corresponding image scan line G(i), its source is electrically connected to a data line, and its drain is electrically connected to the liquid crystal unit, specifically to the pixel electrode of the liquid crystal unit. The liquid crystal unit includes a pixel electrode, a common electrode of the liquid crystal layer, and a color filter layer (not shown). The pixel electrode, the liquid crystal layer, and the common electrode form a liquid crystal capacitor, used to drive the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer to deflect, thereby controlling the amount of light transmitted. The color filter layer is used to filter the light into colored light of the corresponding color. A connection node N1 is provided between the driving unit and the liquid crystal unit.
[0060] At least some sub-pixel units 11 also include voltage acquisition units. The control terminal of the voltage acquisition unit is electrically connected to the corresponding acquisition scan line Em(i), the first connection terminal is electrically connected to the connection node N1, and the second connection terminal, as a pixel voltage acquisition terminal, is electrically connected to the data driving module 20. This allows the acquisition scan signals E(1) to E(M) to be transmitted through the acquisition scan lines Em(1) to Em(M) to control the voltage acquisition unit to conduct, thereby realizing the acquisition of the pixel voltage at the connection node N1 of the sub-pixel unit 11. Specifically, the voltage acquisition unit includes a switching transistor M1. The gate of the switching transistor M1 is electrically connected to the corresponding acquisition scan line Em(i) as the control terminal, the source is electrically connected to the connection node N1 as the first connection terminal, and the drain is electrically connected to the data driving module 20 as the second connection terminal.
[0061] The gate driving module 40 includes multiple scanning signal terminals (not shown in the figure), which are electrically connected to multiple image scanning lines S(1) to S(M). During the display area stage of each frame of image signal, the gate driving module 40 is used to output image scanning signals G(1) to G(M) sequentially line by line at the multiple scanning signal terminals, so that the driving transistor Q1 of the sub-pixel unit 11 is turned on sequentially line by line, so that the data voltage transmitted by the data line can be applied to the liquid crystal unit, thereby displaying the image.
[0062] The driving circuit 50 includes multiple scanning output terminals (not shown in the figure), which are electrically connected to multiple acquisition scan lines Em(1) to Em(M). During the cancellation phase of each frame of image signal, the driving circuit 50 sequentially outputs acquisition scan signals E(1) to E(M) at the multiple scanning output terminals, so that the voltage acquisition units in the sub-pixel unit 11 are sequentially turned on line by line, so that the pixel voltage of the sub-pixel unit 11 is transmitted to the pixel voltage acquisition terminal through the voltage acquisition unit, thereby realizing the acquisition of pixel voltage. For details, please refer to the following description of the specific structure of the driving circuit 50.
[0063] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1A schematic diagram of the driving circuit provided in the embodiment. In this embodiment, a driving circuit 50 is provided, which is used to transmit acquisition scanning signals E(1) to E(M) to the acquisition scanning lines Em(1) to Em(M) of the display panel 10 to realize the acquisition of pixel voltage.
[0064] Specifically, the driving circuit 50 includes multiple sampling driving units 51. Each sampling driving unit 51 includes a trigger control terminal, a scan input terminal, and a scan output terminal. The trigger control terminal is connected to a trigger signal, and the scan input terminal is connected to the corresponding scan clock signal EK(j). The sampling driving unit 51 is used to turn on when the trigger signal is at an effective level, so as to output the scan clock signal EK(j) as the acquisition scan signal E(i) of the corresponding row at the scan output terminal.
[0065] The first sampling driving unit 51 also includes a trigger input terminal, and the trigger control terminal of the first sampling driving unit is connected to the strobe signal ABK, the trigger input terminal is connected to the acquisition start signal RESET, and the scan input terminal is connected to the corresponding scan clock signal EK(j). The first sampling driving unit 51 is used to output the first row of acquisition scan signal E(1) at the scan output terminal when the strobe signal ABK is at the acquisition valid level.
[0066] Furthermore, the other sampling drive units 51 are cascaded with the first sampling drive unit 51 in sequence, and the acquisition scan signal E(m) output by the m-th sampling drive unit 51 is used as the trigger signal of the (m+1)-th sampling drive unit 51, so that the multiple sampling drive units 51 output acquisition scan signals E(2)~(M) sequentially row by row. Where m is a positive integer less than M, and M is the number of sampling drive units 51.
[0067] Specifically, the strobe signal ABK is used to control the conduction time of the gate driving module 40 and the conduction time of the driving circuit 50. The strobe signal ABK is configured to be a display valid level in the display area of each frame of image signal and a acquisition valid level in the blank area (no-image area) of each frame of image signal. In a specific embodiment, the display valid level can be high and the acquisition valid level can be low; or, the display valid level can be low and the acquisition valid level can be high, which can be set according to the type of trigger device in the gate driving module 40 and the driving circuit 50. In this embodiment, the example of a display valid level being high and an acquisition valid level being low is used for explanation. That is, in this embodiment, the strobe signal ABK is configured to be high in the display area of each frame of image signal and low in the blank area of each frame of image signal, thereby illustrating the embodiment.
[0068] The example is given where the effective level is high and the effective level for acquisition is low. That is, in this embodiment, the strobe signal ABK is configured to be high in the display area of each frame of image signal and low in the cancellation area of each frame of image signal, and the embodiment is described in this way.
[0069] With the above settings, and controlled by the strobe signal ABK, the gate driving module 40 outputs image scanning signals G(1) to G(M) in the display area stage of each frame of image signal, and the driving circuit 50 outputs acquisition scanning signals E(1) to E(M) in the annulment area of each frame of image signal. Each frame of image signal does not require an additional voltage acquisition stage, thus avoiding a reduction in the refresh rate of the display panel 10. Furthermore, by outputting acquisition scanning signals E(1) to E(M) in the annulment area to acquire pixel voltages, the image display of the display panel 10 is not affected. Simultaneously, with the above settings, the structure of the driving circuit 50 is similar to that of the gate driving module 40, and the driving circuit 50 and the gate driving module 40 can share the scan clock signal EK and the acquisition start signal RESET. The reset signal of the display panel 10 can be used as the acquisition start signal RESET. Therefore, the driving circuit 50 can be fabricated together with the gate driving module 40, eliminating the need for additional design and fabrication of acquisition timing chips, thereby effectively reducing the number of chips and process costs in the bonding area of the display panel 10.
[0070] Specifically, each sampling drive unit includes a trigger unit 511, an output unit 512, and a pull-down unit 513; wherein the number of scan clock signals EK is 2. Specifically, in the first sampling drive unit 51:
[0071] The trigger unit 511 is mainly used to control the turn-on time of the output unit 512 to realize the progressive scanning of the display panel 10. Specifically, the trigger unit 511 includes a first transistor T1. The gate of the first transistor T1 is connected to the strobe signal ABK as the trigger control terminal, and the source is connected to the acquisition start signal RESET as the trigger control terminal. When the strobe signal ABK is at the acquisition valid level, the first transistor T1 is turned on to output the first line scan control signal Q(1) at the drain.
[0072] Output unit 512 is mainly used to output the corresponding first scan clock signal EK(1) as the first row acquisition scan signal E(1). Specifically, the output unit 512 includes a second transistor T2 and a bootstrap capacitor C. The gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the drain of the first transistor T1. The source is connected to the first scan clock signal EK(1) as the scan input terminal. The drain is connected to the first row acquisition scan line Em(1) as the scan output terminal, which is used to generate and output the first row acquisition scan signal E(1). The two ends of the bootstrap capacitor C are electrically connected to the gate and drain of the second transistor T2 respectively. It is used to charge when the first row scan control signal Q(1) is high level, store the voltage of the gate and drain terminals of the second transistor T2, and when the first sampling drive unit 51 outputs the first row acquisition scan signal E(1), the voltage of the gate of the second transistor T2 is raised again. That is, when the first scan clock signal EK(1) is high level, the potential of the first row scan control signal Q(1) is raised by the coupling effect of the bootstrap capacitor C, so as to ensure that the second transistor T2 can be reliably turned on and output the first row acquisition scan signal E(1).
[0073] The pull-down unit 513 is used to immediately pull down the gate and drain potentials of the second transistor T2 to a low level, that is, to turn off the first row's acquisition scan signal E(1). Specifically, the pull-down unit 513 includes a third transistor T3 and a fourth transistor T4. The source of the third transistor T3 and the source of the fourth transistor T4 are electrically connected to the gate and drain of the second transistor T2, respectively. The drains of the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected to a low-level signal VSS. The gates of the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected to the acquisition scan signal E(2) output by the next-level sampling drive unit 51. Among them, the third transistor T3 is used to pull down the potential of the first row's scan control signal Q(1) so as to turn off the second transistor T2; the fourth transistor T4 acts on the first row's acquisition scan line Em(1) to pull down the potential of the first row's acquisition scan signal E(1).
[0074] Each sampling driving unit 51 after the first sampling driving unit 51:
[0075] First, it should be noted that the symbol k in the following text is a positive integer greater than 0. Specifically, (k+1) represents the sequence number of the current sampling driving unit 51, k represents the sequence number of the previous sampling driving unit 51, and (k+2) represents the sequence number of the next sampling driving unit 51.
[0076] Each trigger unit 511 includes a fifth transistor T5. The gate and source of the fifth transistor T5 are connected and serve as a trigger control terminal, connected to the scan output terminal of the previous stage sampling drive unit 51. The drain of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the scan control terminal of the output unit 512. That is, the acquisition scan signal E(k) output by the previous stage sampling drive unit 51 serves as the trigger signal of this stage sampling drive unit 51. When the acquisition scan signal E(k) is high, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on to output the (k+1)th row scan control signal Q(k+1) at the drain, which is used to control the turn-on time of this stage output unit 512.
[0077] Each output unit 512 is mainly used to output the scan clock signal EK(j) corresponding to its current stage as the acquisition scan signal E(k+1) for the corresponding row. Specifically, the structure and function of each output unit 512 are similar to those of the output unit 512 of the first sampling drive unit 51. Each output unit 512 also includes a second transistor T2 and a bootstrap capacitor C. The gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the drain of the first transistor T1. The source serves as the scan input terminal connected to the scan clock signal EK(j) corresponding to its current stage. The drain serves as the scan output terminal connected to the acquisition scan line Em(k+1) of the corresponding row, used to generate and output the acquisition scan signal E(k+1) for the corresponding row. The two ends of the bootstrap capacitor C are respectively electrically connected to the second transistor T2. The gate and drain of transistor T2 are used to charge when the scan control signal Q(k+1) is high, storing the voltage at the gate and drain of the second transistor T2. When the sampling drive unit 51 outputs the scan signal E(k+1) for the current row, the voltage at the gate of the second transistor T2 is raised again. That is, when the scan clock signal EK(j) corresponding to the current stage is high, the potential of the scan control signal Q(k+1) for the current stage is raised by the coupling effect of the bootstrap capacitor C, so as to ensure that the second transistor T2 can be reliably turned on and output the scan signal E(k+1) for the current row.
[0078] Each pull-down unit 513 is used to immediately pull down the gate and drain potentials of the second transistor T2 in this stage to a low potential, i.e., to turn off the acquisition scan signal E(k+1) of the corresponding row. Specifically, similar to the pull-down unit 513 in the first sampling drive unit 51, the pull-down unit 513 in this stage also includes a third transistor T3 and a fourth transistor T4. The source of the third transistor T3 and the source of the fourth transistor T4 are electrically connected to the gate and drain of the second transistor T2, respectively. The drains of the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected to a low-level signal VSS. The gates of the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected to the acquisition scan signal E(k+2) output by the next-stage sampling drive unit 51. Among them, the third transistor T3 is used to pull down the scan control signal Q(k+1) of this row so as to turn off the second transistor T2; the fourth transistor T4 acts on the acquisition scan line Em(k+1) of the corresponding row to pull down the potential of the acquisition scan signal E(k+1) of this row.

[0081] During the cancellation phase, the strobe signal ABK is low. At the beginning of this phase, the acquisition start signal RESET is high to trigger the first-level sampling drive unit 51 to output the first scan clock signal EK(1) as the first row acquisition scan signal E(1). After outputting the first row acquisition scan signal E(1), each level of the sampling drive unit 51 sequentially outputs the corresponding row acquisition scan signals E(2) to E(M).

[0088] During the display area stage, the strobe signal ABK is high. In the initial stage of this stage, the frame start signal STV is high to trigger the gate drive module 40, so that the gate drive module 40 outputs the image scan signals G(1) to G(M) sequentially line by line based on the four scan clock signals EK(1) to EK(4).
[0089] During the cancellation phase, the strobe signal ABK is low. In the initial phase of this phase, the acquisition start signal RESET is high.

Here, K is an integer greater than 0. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of scanning clock signals EK corresponds to 2K.
[0091] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the sampling driving units 51 with the sequence number (m+i·K) are cascaded sequentially to output the acquisition scan signal E(m+i·K) of the sequence number (m+i·K). Here, m is a positive integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to K, i is a natural number, and (m+i·K) is less than or equal to M.
[0092] Specifically, the acquisition scan signal E(m) output by the m-th level sampling drive unit 51 is used as the trigger signal of the (m+K)-th level sampling drive unit 51, and the pull-down unit 513 in this level sampling drive unit 51 is connected to the acquisition scan signal E(m+1) output by the next level sampling drive unit 51, so that when the acquisition scan signal E(m+1) output by the next level sampling drive unit 51 is high, the acquisition scan signal E(m) of this level is immediately turned off.

Therefore, a black light-shielding layer is usually provided to shield the gate driving module 40 and the driving circuit 50, which is why the display device 100 has a bezel. In this embodiment, by multiplexing the driving circuit 50 as the gate driving module 40, the area of the bezel region is reduced, thus reducing the bezel width and length of the display device 100.
