Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] As mobile games become more and more popular, users have higher and higher requirements for mobile phone screens; 1. The effective display ratio of mobile phone screens is required to be higher and higher; 2. The refresh rate of mobile phone screens is high. Currently, high-end mobile phones basically use 120HZ as the refresh rate. Due to the high frequency, the screen power consumption is always high; in order to reduce power consumption, the display screens of electronic products on the market generally use low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display panels.
[0003] Secondly, the LTPO display panel includes an effective display area (AA area) and a border, such as Figure 1 As shown; the frame includes the IC, fanout wiring (fanout) and demultiplexing circuit (demux circuit). Currently, the demux circuit is used to decompose a signal channel into multiple signal channels; as shown Figure 2 As shown, a data signal is transformed into three data signal lines through the demux circuit and input into the panel, which directly reduces the number of data lines in the fanout to 1 / 3. However, since the data signal lines in the AA area need to be charged and discharged, the TFTs in the demux circuit will be larger, which will increase power consumption and the area of the demux circuit, which is not conducive to the design of narrow bezels.

[0061] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0062] Please also read Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the demultiplexing circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application is now described. Embodiment 1: A demultiplexing circuit, comprising:
[0063] Data bus Data;
[0064] N groups of data lines, each group of data lines includes 3 data lines; each group of data lines is a Data_1 data line, a Data_2 data line and a Data_3 data line;
[0065] A switch unit is provided corresponding to each data line of each group of data lines. In this embodiment, there are three switch units connected between the data bus and the three data lines, namely, the first, second and third switch units;
[0066] N groups of signal lines, each group of signal lines includes 3 pairs of signal lines, and each pair of signal lines includes a main signal line and a sub-signal line;
[0067] The main signal lines in each group of signal lines are: demux_R; demux_G; demux_B; the secondary signal lines are: demux_(R); demux_(G); demux_(B).
[0068] Each switch unit includes two thin film transistors, namely a P-type thin film transistor and an N-type thin film transistor; see Figure 4 , Figure 5 .
[0069] The gate of one of the thin film transistors is connected to a main signal line of one group of signal lines, and the gate of the other thin film transistor is connected to a secondary signal line of the group of signal lines; the source electrodes of the two thin film transistors are electrically connected to the data bus; the drain electrodes of the two thin film transistors are connected to a corresponding one of the data lines;
[0070] An inverter is provided between the main signal line and the auxiliary signal line of each pair of signal lines. When there is a signal, the current signal phases of the main signal line and the auxiliary signal line are opposite.
[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, in the prior art, each switch unit is only a thin film transistor; the thin film transistor is turned on when there is a signal as a switch tube, and the technical solution of the present application adopts a combination of an N-type thin film transistor and a P-type thin film transistor, see Figure 5 When working, the gate potential of the N-type thin film transistor is opposite to the gate potential of the P-type thin film transistor, so that the N-type thin film transistor and the P-type thin film transistor are turned on at the same time and charge the AA area; the N-type and P-type TFTs form a CMOS structure, and the power consumption is much smaller than that of a single thin film transistor; it is effectively conducive to narrow borders.
[0072] See also Figure 4 The inverter includes two thin film transistors, namely a P-type thin film transistor and an N-type thin film transistor; the gates of the two thin film transistors are electrically connected to the main signal line; the source of the N-type thin film transistor is electrically connected to the gate-on power supply VGH, the source of the P-type thin film transistor is electrically connected to the gate-off power supply VGL, and the drains of the two thin film transistors are connected to the auxiliary signal line.
[0073] See also Figure 4 , the inverter also uses a combination of two thin film transistors. When there is a signal on the main signal line and the input signal is at a high level, the gates of the two thin film transistors are at a high potential, and the P-type thin film transistor is cut off; the N-type thin film transistor is turned on, the auxiliary signal line and the gate shutdown power supply VGL are turned on, and the output of the auxiliary signal line is low level; when the input signal is at a low level, the P-type thin film transistor is turned on, the N-type thin film transistor is turned off, the auxiliary signal line and the gate opening power supply VGH are turned on, and the auxiliary signal line outputs a high level. Secondly, the inverter and the switch unit both use a combination of two thin film transistors, which is conducive to the unified processing of the inverter and the switch unit, as well as the narrowing of the frame.
[0074] Example 2: See Figures 6 to 9 A demultiplexing circuit structure, comprising: a dual TFT structure, the dual TFT structure comprising:
[0075] A P-type substrate 1, a first insulating layer 2, a first gate 3, a second insulating layer 4, an IGZO semiconductor layer 11, a source-drain layer, a third insulating layer 12, and a second gate 7 are stacked in sequence; the P-type substrate is low temperature polycrystalline silicon (ITPS);
[0076] The source-drain layer includes a first source electrode 9, a second source electrode 10, a first drain electrode 6 and a second drain electrode 5; the first source electrode 9 and the second source electrode 10 are located on one side of the IGZO semiconductor layer 11, and the first drain electrode 6 and the second drain electrode 5 are located on the other side of the IGZO semiconductor layer 11; the first drain electrode 6 is electrically connected to the second drain electrode 5, and the second drain electrode 5 is connected to one end of the P-type substrate 1;
[0077] When the first source electrode 9 is electrically connected to one end of the IGZO semiconductor layer, the first source electrode 9 and the second source electrode 10 are both arranged on the second insulating layer 4, the second source electrode 10 is spaced apart from the first source electrode 9 and the IGZO semiconductor layer 11, and is connected to the other end of the P-type substrate 1; the first drain electrode 6 is electrically connected to the other end of the IGZO semiconductor layer; the double TFT structure constitutes an inverter;
[0078] When the first source electrode 9 is electrically connected to the second source electrode 10 , the first source electrode 9 is electrically connected to one end of the IGZO semiconductor layer; the second source electrode 10 is connected to the P-type substrate 1 ; and the dual TFT structure constitutes a switch unit.
[0079] In the demultiplexing circuit structure of the present technical solution, a CMOS TFT structure is adopted, and different connection methods of the second source 10 can respectively constitute an inverter and a switch unit; therefore, the inverter and the switch unit can be constituted by the same or similar stacked structure, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the demultiplexing circuit.
[0080] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 The demultiplexing circuit includes two thin film transistors, which are named as a first thin film transistor and a second thin film transistor for convenience of explanation; the first thin film transistor includes a first gate electrode 3, a first active layer (IGZO semiconductor layer 11), a first source electrode 9 and a first drain electrode 6; the second thin film transistor includes a second gate electrode 7, a second active layer (IGZO semiconductor layer 11), a second source electrode 10 and a second drain electrode 5; wherein the two thin film transistors share the IGZO semiconductor layer 11; the IGZO semiconductor layer 11 is respectively used as the first active layer and the second active layer; the first source electrode 9 and the second source electrode 10 are both located on the second insulating layer 4, and are arranged at intervals, and are respectively connected to the IGZO semiconductor layer 11.
[0081] Preferably, the first drain 6 and the second drain 5 are integrated into a total drain.
[0082] Whether used as an inverter or a switch unit, the drains of the first thin film transistor and the second thin film transistor are electrically connected together; therefore, during design, the first drain 6 and the second drain 5 are integrated into a total drain, making the overall structure simple and easy to process.
[0083] Please combine Figure 4 The first source 9 and the second source 10 are connected to the gate-on power supply VGH and the gate-off power supply VGL respectively through wires; the total drain is connected to a secondary signal line for outputting a current signal to the outside; the first gate 3 and the second gate 7 are connected to the main signal line of the input signal through wires.
[0084] When working, the main signal line sends a level signal to the first gate 3 and the second gate 7. When a high level signal is sent, current flows through the IGZO semiconductor layer 11, and the current flows from the first source 9 to the total drain. The total drain outputs a low level through the auxiliary signal line. (The first thin film transistor is N-type and the second thin film transistor is P-type)
[0085] When a low level signal is sent, current flows through the IGZO semiconductor layer 11 , and the current flows from the second source 10 to the total drain, and the total drain outputs a high level through the auxiliary signal line.
[0086] Recombination Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 ; Switch unit: The first source 9 and the second source 10 are electrically connected, and the electrical connection can be: 1. When used as a switch unit, the first source 9 and the second source 10 are integrated into one to form a total source 18; 2. Connected by wires to form an electrical connection. The first gate 3 in the switch unit is electrically connected to the main signal line, and the second gate 7 in the switch unit is electrically connected to the auxiliary signal line; the first source 9 is electrically connected to the data bus, and the total drain is connected to the data line.
[0087] When working, the main signal line and the auxiliary signal line simultaneously send high-level and low-level signals to the first gate 3 and the second gate 7, current flows through the IGZO semiconductor layer 11, and the data line sends data signals (data) to the outside;
[0088] Furthermore, a first via 8 and a second via 13 are respectively provided at both ends of the second insulating layer 4 and the first insulating layer 2 , the total drain is electrically connected to the P-type substrate 1 through the first via 8 , and the second gate 7 is electrically connected to the P-type substrate 1 through the second via 13 .
[0089] See also Figure 8 , Fig. 9; As a variation of the above structure, the total drain, the first source 9, and the second source 10 are all arranged above the first insulating layer 2 and covered by the second insulating layer 4, and the third via 14 and the fourth via 17 are respectively provided at the two ends of the first insulating layer 2. The total drain is electrically connected to the P-type substrate 1 through the third via 14, and the second gate 7 is electrically connected to the P-type substrate 1 through the fourth via 17; the fifth via 15 and the sixth via 16 are also respectively provided at the two ends of the second insulating layer 4, and the two ends of the IGZO semiconductor layer 11 are electrically connected to the total drain through the fifth via 15, and the sixth via 16 is electrically connected to the first source 9 and the second source 10.
[0090] Please combine Figure 3 , the orthographic projection of the first gate 3 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second gate 7 on the substrate at least partially overlap. It can be understood that when the orthographic projection of the first gate 3 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second gate 741 on the substrate partially overlap, compared with the technical solution in which the orthographic projection of the first gate 3 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second gate 7 on the substrate 10 do not overlap at all, the occupied area of the Demux circuit in the horizontal direction (parallel to the display surface) can be reduced, which is conducive to realizing narrow-frame display. In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first gate 3 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the second gate 7 on the substrate completely (100%) overlap, at which time, the occupied area of the Demux circuit in the horizontal direction (parallel to the display surface) can be minimized to achieve an extremely narrow-frame display.
[0091] Secondly, it can be seen that the first gate 3 is arranged below the IGZO semiconductor layer 11 to form a bottom gate, and the second gate 7 is arranged above the IGZO semiconductor layer 11 to form a top gate. That is to say, the embodiment of the present application adopts a combination of a top gate structure and a bottom gate structure to realize the design of the Demux circuit as a three-dimensional structure extending in the vertical direction (perpendicular to the display surface), thereby reducing the occupied area of the Demux circuit on the horizontal plane (parallel to the display surface), thereby realizing a narrow frame design of the display device.
[0092] The present application adopts a stacked structure, which does not increase the design area, effectively reduces the space of the demux circuit, and is conducive to achieving a narrow frame.
