Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a multi-stage driving circuit and a display panel. BACKGROUND
[0002] Liquid crystal display has been widely applied due to its advantages of thin body, power saving, no radiation and so on. With the improvement of living standards, people have put forward higher requirements for display products, such as lower price, narrower frame and so on.
[0003] At present, in order to reduce the cost of products, array substrate type driving technology is usually used in the manufacturing process, that is, the traditional gate driving chip is abandoned, and the gate driving circuit structure is directly made on the glass substrate of the display panel, so that the chip driving on both sides of the display panel is no longer needed, which greatly reduces the product cost.
[0004] In order to achieve smooth driving effect, the common array substrate type driving technology usually precharges the output circuit shared work node (Quiescent point) to achieve a higher voltage level, so that the subsequent clock signal can be coupled into an ideal signal waveform. When the switch of the thin film transistor is opened, the gate level scanning signal required by the gate line can be successfully transmitted. However, this shared work node method can easily cause the voltage of the work node to be too high due to two pull-ups during the high voltage writing stage of the clock signal of the output circuit, which can damage the thin film transistor connected to the work node, cause abnormal output signal waveform, and further affect the entire circuit.

[0033] The application provides a multi-stage driving circuit. Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a first embodiment of the multi-stage driving circuit of the application. As shown in FIG. 1, the multi-stage driving circuit comprises adjacent first driving circuit GOA1 and second driving circuit GOA2. The first driving circuit GOA1 comprises a first input module 11, a first output module 121, a second output module 122, a first pull-down module 13, and a first isolation module 14. Figure 1
[0034] The first input module 11 is configured to output a first control signal Qout1 when receiving a first trigger signal Carry(n-4).

[0038] The first isolation module 14 is arranged between the control end of the first output module 121 and the control end of the second output module 122, the first control end of the first isolation module 14 is connected with the first drive signal line, and when the first drive signal VDD-0 is high, the control end of the second output module 122 is kept in communication with the control end of the first output module 121. The first path end of the first isolation module 14 is connected with the control end of the first output module 121 and the output end of the first input module 11, and the second path end of the first isolation module 14 is connected with the control end of the second output module 122. Whether the control end of the first output module 121 and the control end of the second output module 122 are actively connected in communication is determined by the first drive signal VDD-0 received by the control end of the first isolation module 14. The first path end is the drain of a transistor, and the second path end is the source of the transistor.
[0039] The second drive circuit GOA2 includes a second input module 21, a third output module 221, a fourth output module 222, a second pull-down module 23, and a second isolation module 24.

[0044] The second isolation module 24 is arranged between the control end of the third output module 221 and the control end of the fourth output module 222, the first control end of the second isolation module 24 is connected with the second driving signal line, and when the second driving signal VDD-1 is high, the control end of the fourth output module 222 is connected with the control end of the third output module 221. The first pass end of the second isolation module 24 is connected with the control end of the third output module 221 and the output end of the second input module 21, and the second pass end of the second isolation module 24 is connected with the control end of the fourth output module 222. The first pass end is the drain of a transistor, and the second pass end is the source of the transistor.
[0045] In the embodiment, the first isolation module 14 further includes a second control end, the second control end of the first isolation module 14 is connected with the second driving signal line, and is used for connecting the control end of the second output module 122 with the control end of the first output module 121 when the second driving signal VDD-1 is high.
[0046] In the embodiment, when the control end of the first isolation module 14 receives the first driving signal VDD-0 or the second driving signal VDD-1 as high, the control end of the second output module 122 is connected with the control end of the first output module 121, so that the first control signal Qout1 output by the first input module 11 is transmitted to the control end of the second output module 122, so that the second output module 122 can transmit the second input signal CLK2. Through the alternate operation of the first driving signal VDD-0 and the second driving signal VDD-1, the working life and stability of the first isolation module 14 are improved while reducing the driving signal line.
[0047] Further, the control end of the second isolation module 24 also includes a second control end, the second control end of the second isolation module 24 is connected with the first driving signal line, and is used for connecting the control end of the fourth output module 222 with the control end of the third output module 221 when the first driving signal VDD-0 is high, so that the control end of the fourth output module 222 and the control end of the third output module 221 are pulled up or pulled down at the same time.
[0048] In other embodiments, the second control end of the second isolation module 24 is connected with the third driving signal line VDD-2 connected with the third pull-down module in the third driving circuit GOA3, and is sequentially cascaded downward. The third driving circuit GOA3 is arranged adjacent to the second driving circuit GOA2. Through this cascade, the control ability of the isolation module to the output module connected with each control end is improved.
[0049] Specifically, please further refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment of the multi-stage drive circuit of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the first isolation module 14 includes a first isolation transistor S-T1 and a second isolation transistor S-T2. The drains of both the first isolation transistor S-T1 and the second isolation transistor S-T2 are connected to the output terminal of the first input module 11 and the control terminal of the first output module 121, and their sources are both connected to the control terminal of the second output module 122. The gate (first control terminal) of the first isolation transistor S-T1 is connected to the first drive signal line and is used to conduct the control terminals of the first output module 121 and the second output module 122 when the first drive signal VDD-1 is high. The gate (second control terminal) of the second isolation transistor S-T2 is connected to the second drive signal line and is used to conduct the control terminals of the second output module 122 and the first output module 121 when the second drive signal VDD-1 is high, so as to transmit the first control signal output by the first input module 11 to the control terminal of the second output module 122, so that the second output module 122 can transmit the second input signal CLK2 according to the first control signal. Specifically, when the first control signal is high, the second output module 122 receives the second input signal CLK2 and outputs the second output signal Gout(n+1).
[0050] Further, the second isolation module 24 includes a third isolation transistor S-T3 and a fourth isolation transistor S-T4. The gate (first control terminal) of the third isolation transistor S-T3 is connected to the second drive signal line, and is used to turn on the control terminal of the fourth output module 222 and the control terminal of the third output module 221 when the second drive signal VDD-1 is high. The gate (second control terminal) of the fourth isolation transistor S-T4 is connected to the first drive signal line, and is used to turn on the control terminal of the fourth output module 222 and the control terminal of the third output module 221 when the first drive signal VDD-0 is high, so as to transmit the second control signal output by the second input module 21 to the control terminal of the fourth output module 222, so that the fourth output module 222 can transmit the fourth input signal CLK4 according to the second control signal. Specifically, when the second control signal is high, the fourth output module 222 receives the fourth input signal CLK4 and outputs the fourth output signal Gout(n+3).
[0051] In this embodiment, the levels of the first driving signal VDD-0 and the second driving signal VDD-1 are reversed. When the first driving signal VDD-0 is high, the second driving signal VDD-1 is low; when the first driving signal VDD-0 is low, the second driving signal VDD-1 is high. The first driving signal VDD-0 and the second driving signal VDD-1 alternately switch their level signals according to a set frame. For example, the first driving signal VDD-0 may be high in the first frame or frames 0-100, and low in the second frame or frames 100-200, etc., which is not limited here.
[0052] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: By including two isolation transistors in each isolation module, and connecting the gates of the two isolation transistors to the first drive signal line and the second drive signal line respectively, and by having the drive signals on the first and second drive signal lines work alternately (i.e., alternately at a high level), each isolation module remains in a conduction state under both the first drive signal VDD-0 and the second drive signal VDD-1, thereby keeping the connected output modules (first output module 121 and second output module 122) in a conduction state. Connecting the control terminals of each isolation module to the drive signal lines in the pull-down modules of the current stage drive circuit (GOA1) and the adjacent stage drive circuit (next stage GOA2 or previous stage GOA0) respectively saves on the number of drive signal lines required, avoids the need to separately set drive signal lines for the isolation modules, and facilitates the fabrication of narrow bezels.
[0053] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the third embodiment of the multi-stage drive circuit of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the first driving circuit GOA1 further includes a first-stage transmission module 15. The control terminal of the first-stage transmission module 15 is connected to the output terminal of the first input module 11. The input terminal of the first-stage transmission module 15 is connected to the first input signal CLK1, and the output terminal is connected to the Nth-stage driving circuit. It is used to output the first-stage transmission signal Carry(n) when the first input signal CLK1 and the first control signal Qout1 are received. The second driving circuit GOA2 further includes a second-stage transmission module 25. The control terminal of the second-stage transmission module 25 is connected to the output terminal of the second input module 21. The input terminal of the second-stage transmission module 25 is connected to the third input signal CLK3, and the output terminal is connected to the N+1th-stage driving circuit or the Nth-stage driving circuit. It is used to output the second-stage transmission signal Carry(n+1) or Carry(n) when the third input signal CLK3 and the second control signal Qout2 are received. The second-stage transmission signal can be the same as or different from the first-stage transmission signal.
[0054] Further, please refer toFigure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fourth embodiment of the multi-stage drive circuit of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the first driving circuit GOA1 also includes a first reset module 16. The control terminal of the first reset module 16 receives a first reset signal Reset1. The input terminal of the first reset module 16 is connected to the output terminal of the first input module 11. The output terminal of the first reset module 16 is connected to a low level, which is used to discharge the first node Q1 when the first reset signal Reset1 is high, that is, to discharge the first control signal Qout1 to a low level.
[0055] The second drive circuit GOA2 also includes a second reset module 26. The control terminal of the second reset module 26 receives the second reset signal Reset2. The input terminal of the second reset module 26 is connected to the output terminal of the second input module 21, and the output terminal of the second reset module 26 is connected to a low level. When the received second reset signal Reset2 is high, the second node Q2 is discharged, that is, the second control signal Qout2 is discharged. The first reset signal Reset1 and the second reset signal Reset2 are reset signals transmitted on the same reset signal line. Thus, during the reset period, all pull-up nodes Q of the drive circuits are discharged, which is not limited here.
