[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0051] It should be noted that although the device schematics illustrate functional module divisions and the flowcharts illustrate logical sequences, in certain circumstances, the steps illustrated or described may be performed in a sequence that differs from the module divisions in the device or the sequence in the flowcharts. The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification, claims, and drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific sequence or precedence.
[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.
[0053] Due to manufacturing fluctuations during the actual display panel production process, variations in film position within a single display panel can result in a single code not covering all film positions, resulting in a high rate of substandard products and significantly impacting product yield. Defects include H-crosstalk (H-crosstalk), H-mura (horizontal display unevenness), and V-mura (vertical display unevenness). A common approach to address this problem is to adjust the VGH voltage (threshold voltage for turning on the thin-film transistors) and CLK duty (clock signal duty cycle). For example, the typical settings are: VGH = 30V, VGL = -6, CLK duty = 47%. However, this setting may not cover all film positions. For example, a 27-inch FHD (Full High Definition) display exhibited a 10% H-mura defect at 100Hz. By adjusting the settings to: VGH = 24V, CLK duty = 45%, or VGL = -8, CLK duty = 49%, the product could be successfully upgraded and shipped.
[0054] However, since the VGH voltage and VGL voltage are controlled by the PMIC (power management chip) and the CLK Duty is controlled by the Tcon (timing controller), the two cannot be linked, and the automated operation of the production line cannot be achieved, requiring a large amount of manpower and material resources for rework operations.
[0055] Based on this, the present application proposes a linkage circuit, which aims to achieve linkage between VGH voltage and CLK Duty through the design of the linkage circuit, so that CLK Duty can be adjusted accordingly by adjusting the VGH voltage, thereby realizing automated operation of the production line and improving improvement efficiency.
[0056] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of the linkage circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the linkage circuit 10 includes a first conversion circuit 100 and a second conversion circuit 200; the first end of the first conversion circuit 100 is used to receive the first clock square wave signal output by the gate drive circuit, the second end of the first conversion circuit 100 is connected to the first end of the second conversion circuit 200, the second end and the third end of the second conversion circuit 200 are both used to receive the turn-on voltage (VGH) for turning on the thin film transistor, the fourth end of the second conversion circuit 200 is used to receive the turn-off voltage (VGL) for turning off the thin film transistor, and the fifth end of the second conversion circuit 200 is connected to the corresponding scan line as a voltage output end (Vout). Wherein:
[0057] The first conversion circuit 100 is used to convert the first clock square wave signal into a triangular wave signal; the second conversion circuit 200 is used to convert the triangular wave signal into a second clock square wave signal, wherein the moment corresponding to the falling voltage threshold in the triangular wave signal corresponds to the moment corresponding to the rising edge of the second clock square wave signal, the moment corresponding to the rising voltage threshold in the triangular wave signal corresponds to the moment corresponding to the falling edge of the second clock square wave signal, the rising voltage threshold is positively correlated with the difference between the turn-on voltage and the turn-off voltage, and the falling voltage threshold is positively correlated with the turn-on voltage.
[0058] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 : is a waveform conversion diagram of the first clock square wave signal and the triangle wave signal provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the first clock square wave signal is the GDL signal (gate drive signal) output by the gate drive circuit. The first conversion circuit 100 is used to convert the first clock square wave signal into a triangular wave signal. The falling edge of the first clock square wave signal corresponds to the peak of the triangular wave, and the rising and falling edge of the first clock square wave signal corresponds to the trough of the triangular wave.
[0059] In one embodiment of the present application, the first conversion circuit 100 may use an integration circuit, such as an inverting integration circuit, an RC integration circuit, etc. That is, the first clock square wave signal can be converted into a triangle wave signal through the integration circuit.
[0060] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of waveform conversion between the triangle wave signal and the second clock square wave signal provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the second conversion circuit 200 can convert the triangular wave signal converted by the first conversion circuit 100 into a second clock square wave signal. 下降 ) corresponds to the moment corresponding to the rising edge of the second clock square wave signal, and the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) corresponds to the time corresponding to the falling edge of the second clock square wave signal. The rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) is positively correlated with the difference between the turn-on voltage (VGH) and the turn-off voltage (VGL). The falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ) is positively correlated with the turn-on voltage (VGH). That is, by adjusting the turn-on voltage (VGH) or the turn-off voltage (VGL), the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) and the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 Specifically, if the turn-on voltage (VGH) remains unchanged, the voltage threshold (V 下降 ) remains unchanged. At this time, if the turn-off voltage (VGL) is increased, the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) decreases, that is, the turn-off voltage (VGL) and the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) is negatively correlated. Keeping the turn-off voltage (VGL) unchanged, the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) and the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ) are positively correlated.
[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, by connecting the turn-on voltage (VGH) and the turn-off voltage (VGL) to the second conversion circuit 200, the designed linkage circuit 10 can adjust the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) and the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ), and due to the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ) corresponds to the moment corresponding to the rising edge of the second clock square wave signal, and the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) corresponds to the moment corresponding to the falling edge of the second clock square wave signal, that is, the falling voltage threshold (V下降 ) and rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) determines the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal, thereby adjusting the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) and the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ), the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal will also change accordingly. That is, after adjusting the turn-on voltage (VGH) or the turn-off voltage (VGL), the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) will also change accordingly. 下降 ) and the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty), without the need to separately control the turn-on voltage (VGH), the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ) and the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) are adjusted separately to improve the regulation efficiency, thereby improving the improvement efficiency.
[0062] Specifically, keeping the turn-off voltage (VGL) unchanged and increasing the turn-on voltage (VGH) can correspondingly increase the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) and the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ), thereby increasing the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal accordingly. That is, keeping the turn-off voltage (VGL) unchanged and increasing the turn-on voltage (VGH) can correspondingly increase the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty). Keeping the turn-off voltage (VGL) unchanged and reducing the turn-on voltage (VGH) can correspondingly reduce the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) and the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ), thereby reducing the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal accordingly, that is, keeping the turn-off voltage (VGL) unchanged, reducing the turn-on voltage (VGH) can reduce the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) accordingly. Keeping the turn-on voltage (VGH) unchanged, the voltage threshold (V 下降 ) remains unchanged, reducing the turn-off voltage can correspondingly increase the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ), thereby increasing the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal accordingly. Keeping the turn-on voltage (VGH) unchanged, the voltage threshold (V 下降 ) remains unchanged, increasing the turn-off voltage can correspondingly reduce the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ), thereby reducing the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal accordingly.
[0063] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4: is a circuit diagram of the linkage circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the first conversion circuit 100 includes an operational amplifier and an RC circuit. The RC circuit includes a first resistor R1 and a first capacitor C1. The first end of the first resistor R1 is used to receive the first clock square wave signal output by the gate drive circuit, the second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier, the second end of the first resistor R1 is also connected to the first end of the first capacitor C1, the second end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier, the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier is grounded, and the output terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the first end of the second conversion circuit 200.
[0064] The second conversion circuit 200 includes: a first NMOS transistor NM1, a second NMOS transistor NM2, a third NMOS transistor NM3, a first PMOS transistor PM1, a second PMOS transistor PM2, and a third PMOS transistor PM3. The gate of the first NMOS transistor NM1 is connected to the second terminal of the first conversion circuit 100, the source of the first NMOS transistor NM1 is connected to the shutdown voltage (VGL), and the drain of the first NMOS transistor NM1 is connected to the source of the second NMOS transistor NM2 and the source of the second NMOS transistor NM2. The gate of the second NMOS transistor NM2 is connected to the second terminal of the first conversion circuit 100, and the drain of the second NMOS transistor NM2 is connected to the voltage output terminal (Vout). The gate of the third NMOS transistor NM3 is connected to the voltage output terminal (Vout), and the drain of the third NMOS transistor NM3 is connected to the start-up voltage (VGH). The gate of the first PMOS transistor PM1 is connected to the second terminal of the first conversion circuit 100. The drain of the first PMOS transistor PM1 is connected to the drain of the second NMOS transistor NM2 and then to the voltage output terminal (Vout). The source of the first PMOS transistor PM1 is connected to the drain of the second PMOS transistor PM2 and the source of the third PMOS transistor PM3. The gate of the second PMOS transistor PM2 is connected to the second terminal of the first conversion circuit 100, and the source of the second PMOS transistor PM2 is connected to the turn-on voltage (VGH). The drain of the third PMOS transistor PM3 is grounded, and the gate of the third PMOS transistor PM3 is connected to the gate of the third NMOS transistor NM3 and then to the voltage output terminal (Vout).
[0065] Continue to refer to Figure 4 The second conversion circuit 200 further includes a second resistor R2 and a second capacitor C2. A first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the drain of the third PMOS transistor PM3, and a second end of the second resistor R2 is grounded; a first end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the voltage output terminal (Vout), and a second end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded.
[0066] In the present application, refer to Figure 4Initially, the positive input of the operational amplifier is grounded, resulting in no output. The potential at point C is at ground (i.e., 0). When the voltage of the first clock square wave signal is positive, current flows through the first resistor R1. Since the positive input of the operational amplifier is grounded, current cannot flow into it. Therefore, the current charges the first capacitor C1, causing the potential at point C to gradually rise.
[0067] When the voltage of the first clock square wave signal is negative, the current will reverse, the charge stored in the first capacitor C1 will be slowly released, and the potential at point C will slowly drop. And the rate at which the potential at point C rises and falls is determined by the delay generated by RC (resistance and capacitance). Finally, the first clock square wave signal passes Figure 4 After the first conversion circuit 100 shown, it can be converted into Figure 2 The triangle wave waveform shown in Figure 1 is shown in Figure 2. That is, the waveform of the potential change at point C is as follows: Figure 2 The triangle wave waveform is shown.
[0068] The triangular wave signal corresponding to the potential at point C serves as the input to the second conversion circuit 200, which is configured to convert the triangular wave signal into a second clock square wave signal. Specifically, when the input is at a low level, the first PMOS transistor PM1, the second PMOS transistor PM2, and the third NMOS transistor NM3 are turned on, while the first NMOS transistor NM1, the second NMOS transistor NM2, and the third PMOS transistor PM3 are turned off, and the voltage output terminal Vout outputs a high level. When the input is at a high level, because the second conversion circuit 200 provides a path from the voltage output terminal to ground, the first NMOS transistor NM1, the second NMOS transistor NM2, and the third PMOS transistor PM3 are turned on, while the first PMOS transistor PM1, the second PMOS transistor PM2, and the third NMOS transistor NM3 are turned off, and the voltage output terminal Vout outputs a low level.
[0069] Specifically, under initial conditions, the input of the second conversion circuit 200 is 0, and the voltage output terminal Vout outputs a high level. At this time, the first NMOS transistor NM1 and the second NMOS transistor NM2 are turned off, and the third NMOS transistor NM3 is turned on. Figure 4 As shown, the potential at point C is 0, and when the voltage output terminal Vout outputs a high level, the third NMOS transistor NM3 is turned on, and the first NMOS transistor NM1 and the second NMOS transistor NM2 are turned off. At this time, the voltage at point A is VGH-V th3 When the voltage at point C gradually increases, the gate voltages of the first NMOS transistor NM1 and the second NMOS transistor NM2 will also slowly increase. This is because the source of the first NMOS transistor NM1 is the cutoff voltage VGL (negative voltage), which is lower than the source voltage of the second NMOS transistor NM2 (i.e., lower than the voltage V at point A). A ). Therefore, the first NMOS transistor NM1 will turn on before the second NMOS transistor NM2. When the voltage at point C rises to Vth1 +VGL, the first NMOS transistor NM1 will gradually open, causing the voltage at point A to drop, accelerating the opening of the second NMOS transistor NM2. When the voltage at point C rises to V A +V th2 When the voltage output terminal Vout drops to the turn-off voltage VGL through the first NMOS transistor NM1 and the second NMOS transistor NM2, the third NMOS transistor NM3 will gradually turn off, which will accelerate the potential drop at point A, thereby accelerating the complete conduction of the first NMOS transistor NM1 and the second NMOS transistor NM2. Finally, the forward conduction voltage at point C can be obtained as: V C+ =V A +V th2 At the moment the second NMOS tube NM2 is turned on, the third NMOS tube NM3 and the first NMOS tube NM1 are connected in series, and the currents are equal. A =(R1 / R3+R1)*(VGH-VGL). Therefore, the forward voltage at point C is: V C+ =(R1 / R3+R1)*(VGH-VGL)+V th2 Among them, R1 is the resistance value of the first NMOS tube NM1, R3 is the resistance value of the third NMOS tube NM3, V th2 is the threshold voltage of the second NMOS transistor NM2. When point C is high, the voltage output terminal Vout outputs a low level. At this time, the third PMOS transistor PM3 is turned on, and the first PMOS transistor PM1 and the second PMOS transistor PM2 are turned off. The voltage at point B is V th6 When the voltage at point C gradually decreases, the voltage at point C V C Before the voltage of point B is lower than the threshold voltage of the second PMOS transistor PM2, the voltage at point B is always V th6 When the voltage at point C drops to VGH-V th6 =V th5 When the second PMOS transistor PM2 is turned on, the voltage at point B gradually increases due to the conduction of the second PMOS transistor PM2. Since the source of the first PMOS transistor PM1 is point B, its voltage is lower than the source voltage of the second PMOS transistor PM2 (i.e., VGH). Therefore, the first PMOS transistor PM1 will be turned on later than the second PMOS transistor PM2. The voltage at point B increases, and the voltage at point C decreases. When the voltage at point B V B Subtract the voltage V at point C C Equal to the threshold voltage V of the first PMOS transistor PM1 th4When the voltage at point B increases, the first PMOS transistor PM1 will turn on, causing the voltage output terminal Vout to increase, and the third PMOS transistor PM3 will gradually turn off. The increase in the voltage at point B will accelerate the conduction of the first PMOS transistor PM1. Finally, the negative conduction voltage at point C can be obtained as: V C- =V B +V th4 At the moment when the first PMOS transistor PM1 is turned on, the second PMOS transistor PM2 and the third PMOS transistor PM3 are connected in series. Therefore, the voltage of B is: V B =(R6 / R5+R6)*VGH. Thus, the negative conduction voltage at point C is: V C- =(R6 / R5+R6)*VGH+V th4 Among them, R5 is the resistance value of the second PMOS transistor PM2, R6 is the resistance value of the third PMOS transistor PM3, V th4 is the threshold voltage of the first PMOS transistor PM1.
[0070] As mentioned above, when the voltage at point C gradually increases from 0 to the forward conduction voltage V C+ During this period, the voltage output terminal Vout outputs a continuous high level. When the voltage at point C continues to rise and exceeds the forward conduction voltage V at point C, C+ When the voltage at point C rises to the highest point and gradually drops to a level lower than the negative conduction voltage V at point C, the voltage output terminal Vout starts to become low. C- During this period, the voltage output terminal Vout outputs a low level. When the voltage at point C continues to drop to the lowest point and gradually rises to the forward conduction voltage V at point C, C+ During this period, the voltage output terminal Vout output is continuously high. That is, the forward conduction voltage V C+ is the rising voltage threshold in the triangle wave signal (V 上升 ), the negative conduction voltage V C- is the falling voltage threshold in the triangle wave signal (V 下降 ). At the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) to the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ) period, the corresponding voltage output terminal Vout outputs a low level. At the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ) to the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) period, the corresponding voltage output terminal Vout outputs a high level. Finally, the triangle wave signal corresponding to the potential at point C is generated by Figure 4 After the second conversion circuit 200 is shown, it can be converted into Figure 3 The second clock signal waveform is shown.
[0071] In the present application, refer to Figure 3 , the falling voltage threshold in the triangle wave signal (V下降 ) corresponds to the moment corresponding to the rising edge of the second clock square wave signal, and the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) corresponds to the time corresponding to the falling edge of the second clock square wave signal. That is, the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ) and the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) determines the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal. And according to the formula V C+ =(R1 / R3+R1)*(VGH-VGL)+V th2 , we can see that the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) is proportional to the difference between the turn-on voltage (VGH) and the turn-off voltage (VGL). According to the formula V C- =(R6 / R5+R6)*VGH+V th4 , we can see that the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ) is proportional to the turn-on voltage (VGH). Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, if the turn-on voltage (VGH) is kept unchanged, the voltage threshold (V 下降 ) remains unchanged. At this time, if the turn-off voltage (VGL) is increased, the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) will decrease, the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal will decrease; if the shutdown voltage (VGL) is reduced, the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) will increase, the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal will increase. Keeping the turn-off voltage (VGL) unchanged, at this time, if the turn-on voltage (VGH) is increased, the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) will increase, and the voltage threshold (V 下降 ) will increase, the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal will increase; if the turn-on voltage (VGH) is reduced, the rising voltage threshold (V 上升 ) will decrease, the falling voltage threshold (V 下降 ) will decrease, and the clock signal duty cycle (CLK Duty) of the second clock square wave signal will decrease.
