[0080] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present application in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present application and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0082] It should also be noted that the source and drain of the transistors used in the embodiments of the present application may be symmetrical in structure, so the source and drain may be physically identical. In the embodiments of the present application, in order to distinguish the transistors, except for the gate as the control electrode, one of the electrodes is directly described as the first electrode and the other as the second electrode, so the first electrode and the second electrode of all or part of the transistors in the embodiments of the present application can be interchanged as needed.
[0083] In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present application clear and concise, the present application omits detailed descriptions of some known functions and known components.
[0084] The exemplary embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to these specific embodiments.
[0085] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows an exemplary circuit block diagram of a display control circuit in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, the display control circuit includes: at least two groups of shift register circuits, including a first group of shift register circuits and a second group of shift register circuits; the first group of shift register circuits includes a plurality of first shift registers 11 arranged in cascade, and the second group of shift register circuits includes a plurality of second shift registers 12 arranged in cascade; the pixel circuit 13 includes an initialization subcircuit 130, a storage subcircuit 131, a driving subcircuit 132 and a data writing subcircuit 133, the initialization subcircuit 130 is connected to the first node N1, the storage subcircuit 131 is respectively connected to the first node N1 and the second node N2, the data writing subcircuit 133 is connected to the second node N2, and the driving subcircuit 132 is connected to the first node N1; wherein the control end of the initialization subcircuit 130 is connected to the first output of the first shift register 11 The first shift register 11 and the second shift register 12 include a shift register sub-circuit, and at least one of the first shift register 11 and the second shift register 12 further includes: a shielding sub-circuit, which is connected to the shift register sub-circuit; the shift register sub-circuit is used to output a cascade signal (carry) based on an input signal (such as GSTV or the carry output by the previous shift register sub-circuit); the output end of the shielding sub-circuit serves as a first output end, and is used to output a control signal based on the shielding signal (SU1 or SU2). When the shielding signal is at a first level, the control signal is at a first level. When the shielding signal is at a second level, the control signal is the same as the cascade signal.
[0086] In some embodiments, the display control circuit may be applied to a display substrate, such as an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display substrate.
[0087] In some embodiments, the light-emitting element EL may be a light-emitting diode, which may be, for example, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) or a quantum dot organic light-emitting diode (QLED), etc., and the present invention is not limited thereto. The light-emitting element EL may use light-emitting materials of different colors to emit light of different colors, thereby performing color display.
[0088] In some embodiments, the initialization sub-circuit 130 is used to write an initialization voltage to the first node N1, the data writing sub-circuit 133 is used to write a data voltage from the second node N2 to the storage sub-circuit 131, and the driving sub-circuit 132 is used to drive the light-emitting element EL to emit light under the control of the voltage of the first node N1.
[0089] It should be noted that the pixel circuit 13 is an LTPS (Low Temperature Poly-Silicon) pixel circuit. The transistors in the pixel circuit are all P-type thin film transistors, which implements the local refresh technology at a low cost.
[0090] It can be understood that for the first-stage shift register sub-circuit in the shift register circuit, since there is no previous-stage shift register sub-circuit outputting a cascade signal, the input signal GSTV needs to be written into it. For other-stage shift register sub-circuits, the cascade signal output by the previous-stage shift register sub-circuit can be used as GSTV to achieve driving.
[0091] It should also be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first level may be an active level that turns on the transistor, and the second level may be an inactive level that turns off the transistor. For example, if the transistor is a P-type thin-film transistor, the first level is high, turning off the P-type thin-film transistor, and the second level is low, turning on the P-type thin-film transistor. When the shielding signal is high, the control signal is also high, and the shielding effect of the shielding subcircuit is effective, at which point the corresponding display area will be refreshed at a low frequency. When the second level is low, the control signal is the same as the cascade signal, the shielding effect of the shielding subcircuit is not effective, and the corresponding display area will refresh normally.
[0092] Figure 2 The circuit structure diagram of the LTPS 7T1C pixel circuit in the related art is shown. All transistors in this circuit are P-type low-temperature polysilicon transistors. Figure 2 As shown, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the seventh transistor T7 are controlled by a group of Gate GOA circuits. Reset is generally the Gate GOA signal of the previous row, that is, when data is written to the current row, the first node N1 and the fourth node N4 of the next row are reset. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are controlled by a group of EM GOA. In this circuit architecture, to ensure that the screen does not flicker at low frequencies, the second node N2 and the fourth node N4 need to be reset during the frame hold phase. However, because the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the seventh transistor T7 share a group of Gate GOA circuits, when the second node N2 and the fourth node N4 are reset, the second transistor T2 is also turned on, which is equivalent to another data write. Therefore, this circuit architecture cannot switch from high frequency to low frequency.
[0093] Figure 3 The circuit structure diagram of the LTPS 7T1C pixel circuit that can refresh the entire screen at a low frequency is shown. Figure 3As shown, the fourth transistor T4 and the seventh transistor T7 are controlled by a group of EM GOA circuits, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are controlled by a group of Gate GOA circuits, and the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are controlled by a group of EM GOA circuits. In this circuit architecture, when the second node N2 and the fourth node N4 are reset during the frame hold phase, the second transistor T2 is turned off, which can solve the problem of screen flicker at low frequencies. Therefore, this circuit architecture can achieve low-frequency refresh of the entire screen area.
[0094] Figure 4 The circuit structure diagram of the LTPS 8T1C pixel circuit that can refresh the entire screen at a low frequency is shown. Figure 4 As shown, by adding an eighth transistor T8 to the circuit and connecting it to the second node N2, the hysteresis of the third transistor T3 can be improved. The second node N2 is reset by the initialization voltage Vinit3. The seventh and eighth transistors T7 and T8 are controlled by a set of EM GOA circuits. The first, second, and fourth transistors T1 and T2 are controlled by a set of Gate GOA circuits. The fifth and sixth transistors T5 and T6 are also controlled by a set of EM GOA circuits. This circuit architecture can also achieve low-frequency refresh rates across the entire screen.
[0095] Figure 3 The LTPS 7T1C pixel circuit shown and Figure 4 The LTPS 8T1C pixel circuit shown can achieve low-frequency refresh for the entire screen, but cannot achieve low-frequency refresh for a localized area. To achieve local refresh, the embodiment of the present application adds a shielding subunit to the GOA circuit. The shielding subunit shields data writing in a certain area, thereby achieving low-frequency refresh for that area. Figure 5 Shown Figure 1 An exemplary circuit structure diagram of a shift register including a shielding subcircuit is shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, taking the shift register as the first shift register as an example, the shift register includes a shift register sub-circuit 110 and a shielding sub-circuit 111, wherein the shift register sub-circuit 110 can be a Gate The GOA circuit includes a ninth transistor T9, a tenth transistor T10, an eleventh transistor T11, a twelfth transistor T12, a thirteenth transistor T13, a fourteenth transistor T14, a fifteenth transistor T15, a sixteenth transistor T16, a second capacitor C2, and a third capacitor C3. A first electrode of the ninth transistor T9 is used to receive a GSTV signal, a second electrode is connected to a fifth node N5, and a gate is used to receive a GCK signal. A first electrode of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to a sixth node N6, a second electrode is used to receive a GCK signal, and a gate is connected to the fifth node N5. A first electrode of the eleventh transistor T11 is used to receive a VGL signal, a second electrode is connected to a sixth node N6, and a gate is used to receive a GCK signal. A first end of the second capacitor C2 is used to receive a VGH signal, and a second end is connected to the sixth node N6. A gate of the twelfth transistor T12 is connected to the sixth node N6, a first electrode is used to receive a VGH signal, and a second electrode is respectively connected to the first end of the third capacitor C3 and the first electrode of the thirteenth transistor T13, serving as a gate. The output end of GOA outputs the cascade signal; the second electrode of the thirteenth transistor T13 is used to output the GCB signal, and the gate is connected to the seventh node N7; the first electrode of the fourteenth transistor T14 is used to receive the VGH signal, the second electrode is connected to the first electrode of the fifteenth transistor T15 via the eighth node N8, and the gate is connected to the sixth node N6; the second electrode of the fifteenth transistor T15 is connected to the fifth node N5, and the gate is used to receive the GCB signal; the first electrode of the sixteenth transistor T16 is connected to the fifth node N5, the second electrode is connected to the seventh node N7, and the gate is used to receive the VGL signal.
[0096] The shielding subcircuit 111 (Shielding Unit, SU) may include a seventeenth transistor T17, an eighteenth transistor T18, a nineteenth transistor T19, a twentieth transistor T20, a twenty-first transistor T21, a twenty-second transistor T22, a fourth capacitor C4, and a fifth capacitor C5. The gate of the seventeenth transistor T17 is connected to the sixth node N6, the first electrode is used to receive the VGH signal, the second electrode is respectively connected to the first end of the fourth capacitor C4 and the first electrode of the eighteenth transistor T18, and serves as the output end of the shielding subcircuit 111 to output the control signal Gout; the second electrode of the eighteenth transistor T18 is used to output the GCB signal, and the gate is connected to the sixth node N6. The ninth node N9 is connected to the ninth node N9; the first electrode of the nineteenth transistor T19 is used to receive the VGH signal, the second electrode is connected to the ninth node N9 via the first electrode and the second electrode of the twentieth transistor T20, and the gate is connected to the sixth node N6; the gate of the twentieth transistor T20 is used to receive the GCB signal; the first electrode of the twenty-first transistor T21 is connected to the seventh node N7, the second electrode is connected to the ninth node N9 via the fifth capacitor C5, and the gate is used to receive the VGL signal; the first electrode of the twenty-second transistor T22 is used to receive the shielding signal SU, the second electrode is connected to the ninth node N9, and the gate is connected to the second electrode of the twenty-first transistor T21.
[0097] Among them, GSTV is the row drive clock signal, carry is the cascade signal, Gout is the control signal, GCK is the first gate clock signal, GCB is the second gate clock signal, VGH is the high level, VGL is the low level. For P-type low-temperature polysilicon crystals, VGH is the voltage for closing the gate, and VGL is the voltage for opening the gate.
[0098] It can be understood that in the above-described shift register circuit, the shift register subcircuit 110 is responsible for outputting the cascade signal carry to the next-stage shift register subcircuit, and the shield subcircuit 111 is responsible for outputting the control signal Gout to the display area. The cascade signal and the control signal do not interfere with each other. In certain areas, the shield signal is controlled to the first level, turning off the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel circuit, thereby maintaining a low refresh rate in these areas.
[0099] The shift register circuit described above adds a 6T2C shielding subcircuit 111 to the 8T2C shift register subcircuit 110. In implementation, shielding subcircuit 111 is not limited to a 6T2C circuit design; more thin-film transistors and capacitors can be added to enhance output capability or improve functionality. Shift register subcircuit 110 is also not limited to an 8T2C circuit; shielding subcircuit 111 can also be added to 12T3C, 16T3C, and other circuits.
[0100] Figure 6 Shown Figure 5 The timing diagram of the shift register in normal output. Figure 6 SU is the shielding signal, such as Figure 6 As shown, when GSTV is at a low level, GCK is at a low level, and GCB is at a high level, for the shift register sub-circuit, the ninth transistor T9 and the eleventh transistor T11 are turned on, the sixth node N6 and the seventh node N7 are set to a low level, and then the twelfth transistor T12 and the thirteenth transistor T13 are turned on. At this time, the carry signal is at a high level; and for the shielding sub-circuit, the sixth node N6 is set to a low level, the sixteenth transistor T16 is turned on, the Gout signal is at a high level, the seventh node N7 is set to a low level, the seventeenth transistor T17 is turned on, the seventh node N7 is set to a low level, the twenty-second transistor T22 is turned on, and the shielding signal SU is written to the ninth node N9. Because the shielding signal is at a low level at this time, the eighteenth transistor T18 is turned on, GCB is output, and GCB is high, so the Gout signal is still at a high level.
[0101] Figure 7 Shown Figure 5 The timing diagram of the shift register in the shielded output. Figure 7 As shown, when GSTV is high, GCK is high, and GCB is low, for the shift register sub-circuit, the ninth transistor T9 and the eleventh transistor T11 are turned off, the seventh node N7 and the fifth node N5 maintain the state of the previous moment, which is low, so the tenth transistor T10 is turned on, GCK is written to the sixth node N6, which is high, and the twelfth transistor T12 is turned off. The seventh node N7 is low, which can turn on the thirteenth transistor T13 and output GCB. At this time, the carry signal is low. For the shielding sub-circuit, the sixth node N6 is high, the seventeenth transistor T17 is turned off, the seventh node N7 is low, the twenty-second transistor T22 is turned on, and the shielding signal SU is written. At this time, the level of SU determines whether the eighteenth transistor T18 is turned on. If SU is low, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the eighteenth transistor T18 is normally turned on, and the GCB output, that is, Gout, is low level; if SU is high level, then Figure 7 As shown, the eighteenth transistor T18 is turned off, and Gout relies on the fourth capacitor C4 to maintain the state of the previous moment and outputs a high level to achieve a shielding function.
[0102] If a partial refresh design is performed based on the LTPS 8T1C pixel circuit, a shielding subcircuit is added to the shift register subcircuit, and the resulting circuit structure is as follows: Figure 8As shown. If the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4 and the first transistor T1 are still controlled by the same set of GOA circuits, the first node N1 of the next row is refreshed while the current row is reset. In this case, two phenomena may occur depending on the area where the low-frequency refresh area is located. The first is that if the upper half of the screen is a high-frequency refresh area and the lower half of the screen is a low-frequency refresh area, and the first node N1 of the first row of the low-frequency refresh area is refreshed, a bright line may appear at the boundary between high and low refresh. The second is that if the upper half of the screen is a low-frequency refresh area and the lower half of the screen is a high-frequency refresh area, since no data is written to the low-frequency refresh area, the first node N1 of the first row of the high-frequency refresh area will not be refreshed, and the screen may be abnormal. Reference Figure 9 In the timing diagram shown, SU is shielded during row n, but the refresh of the first node N1 in row n is determined by the data written to row n-1 and cannot be shielded. Therefore, in the design of local refresh for LTPS pixel circuits, the key point is to prevent any correlation between the upstream and downstream rows, or to shield this correlation through special design.
[0103] Through the design of the display control circuit of the embodiment of the present application, local refresh can be achieved based on the LTPS pixel circuit, reducing the implementation cost of the local refresh technology. At the same time, by using different groups of shift registers to control the data writing of the second node and the refresh of the first node, the data writing of this row will not affect the refresh of the first node N1 of the next row, thereby ensuring the normal display of the picture during the local refresh process.

Figure 13 As shown, the first shift register (Gate1+SU1) and the second shift register (Gate2+SU2) can be driven in a double-sided manner, while the shift registers EM1 and EM2 can be driven in a single-sided manner. This design can reduce the size of the bezel. In other embodiments, the four shift registers can also be driven in a double-sided manner. Although this solution increases the size of the bezel, it can ensure improved uniformity of display brightness.
[0109] Figure 14Shown for driving Figure 11 Another exemplary timing diagram of the pixel circuit in FIG. Figure 14 As shown, Figure 11 The driving principle of the middle pixel circuit is as follows: the shielding signal SU1 and the shielding signal SU2 are set to a high level at the beginning of the nth row, and are maintained at a low level before the n-1th row. If the base frequency is 120Hz, the control signal and the cascade signal before the n-1th row are the same, the shielding effect does not take effect, and each frame is refreshed. Therefore, the refresh frequency before the n-1th row is 120Hz; starting from the nth row, the control signal is high, the shielding effect takes effect, which is equivalent to refreshing one frame and maintaining one frame. Therefore, the refresh frequency starting from the nth row is 60Hz.
[0110] Figure 15 Shown Figure 1 Another exemplary detailed schematic diagram of the control circuit is shown in FIG. Figure 15 As shown, the at least two groups of shift register circuits further include a third group of shift register circuits, which includes a plurality of cascaded third shift registers 14. The initialization subcircuit includes a first subcircuit 1301 and a second subcircuit 1302. The first subcircuit 1301 has an input terminal for receiving an initialization voltage signal Vinit1, an output terminal connected to a third node N3, and a control terminal connected to the output terminal of the third shift register 14. The second subcircuit 1302 has an input terminal connected to the third node N3, an output terminal connected to a first node N1, and a control terminal connected to the first output terminal of the first shift register 11. The second subcircuit 1302 is further configured to write a compensation voltage to the first node during the compensation phase. The first shift register 11 includes a shielding subcircuit 111, the control signal output by the shielding subcircuit 111 being a light-emitting control signal. The shift register subcircuit 120 in the second shift register 12 is further configured to output a row scan signal to the control terminal of the data writing subcircuit 133.
[0111] Figure 16 Shown Figure 15 An exemplary circuit structure diagram of a pixel circuit in FIG. Figure 15 and Figure 16In some embodiments, the first subcircuit 1301 may include a first transistor T1, the second subcircuit 1302 may include a second transistor T2, the storage subcircuit 131 may include a first capacitor Cst, the driving subcircuit 132 may include a third transistor T3, and the data writing subcircuit 133 may include a fourth transistor T4. In a specific implementation, the pixel circuit 13 may further include a first light-emission control subcircuit (not shown) and a second light-emission control subcircuit (not shown). The first light-emission control subcircuit includes a fifth transistor T5, and the second light-emission control subcircuit includes a sixth transistor T6. The initialization subcircuit 130 may further include a seventh transistor T7, and the data writing subcircuit 133 may further include an eighth transistor T8. The gate of the first transistor T1 is controlled by the third shift register 14, the gate of the second transistor T2 is controlled by the first shift register 11, and the gate of the fourth transistor T4 is controlled by the second shift register 12. The gates of the fifth and sixth transistors T5 and T6 may be controlled by the shift register EM1, and the gates of the seventh and eighth transistors T7 and T8 may be controlled by the shift register EM2.
[0112] It can be understood that if the initialization voltage signal Vinit1 is to achieve the refresh of the first node N1, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 need to be turned on at the same time. Under the architecture of this pixel circuit, the data writing of this row will not affect the next row. Since the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are controlled by different shift registers, when the second transistor T2 is shielded, the initialization voltage signal Vinit1 cannot be reset to the first node N1. Therefore, the gate of the first transistor T1 does not need to add a shielding sub-circuit control.

The second subcircuit 1302 is further configured to write a compensation voltage to the first node N1 during the compensation phase. The first shift register 11 and the second shift register 12 include shielding subcircuits. The shielding subcircuit 111 in the first shift register 11 outputs a control signal that is a light-emitting control signal, while the shielding subcircuit 121 in the second shift register 12 outputs a row scan signal.

Figure 31 As shown, the display substrate 20 includes a base substrate 200 and a display control circuit 100 provided in any of the above embodiments. The display control circuit 100 is disposed on one side of the base substrate 20. The display control circuit 100 may include shift register circuits 1-n and a pixel circuit 13. The shift register circuits 1-n are connected to the pixel circuit 13, and the pixel circuit 13 is connected to the light-emitting element EL to control the light emission of the light-emitting element EL.
[0131] Figure 32FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of a display control method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 32 As shown, the display control method is applied to the display substrate provided above, and the method may include the following steps:
[0132] Step S101, determining a first display area and a second display area of a display substrate;
[0133] Step S102, writing a first level into the shielding signal input terminal of the shielding sub-circuit in the shift register corresponding to the first display area;
[0134] Step S103 : writing a second level into the shielding signal input terminal of the shielding sub-circuit in the shift register corresponding to the second display area, wherein the first level is different from the second level.
[0135] The first display area refers to a display area that needs to be refreshed at a low frequency, and the second display area refers to a display area that needs to be refreshed at a high frequency. The specific positions and numbers of the first display area and the second display area on the display substrate are not limited in this embodiment.
[0136] Assume that the shift register corresponding to the first display area is in the nth row. Before the nth row, the shielding signal written into the shielding subcircuit is the second level (for example, a low level). At the nth row, the shielding signal written into the shielding subcircuit is switched to the first level (for example, a high level), thereby achieving high-frequency refresh of the second display area and low-frequency refresh of the first display area.
[0137] by Figure 12 For example, in the nth row, the shielding signal SU2 of the shielding sub-circuit of the second shift register is switched to a high level, which can shield the data writing of the nth row. The shielding signal SU1 of the shielding sub-circuit of the first shift register can be switched to a high level 1H in advance to shield the refresh of the first node N1 of the nth row, thereby ensuring the normal display of the picture at the junction of the high-frequency refresh area and the low-frequency refresh area.
[0138] by Figure 18 For example, in the nth row, the shielding signal SU of the shielding sub-circuit of the first shift register is switched to a high level, which can shield the refresh of the first node N1 of the nth row, thereby ensuring the normal display of the picture at the junction of the high-frequency refresh area and the low-frequency refresh area.
