[0131] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0132] The transistors used in all embodiments of the present invention may be thin film transistors, field effect transistors, or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of the present invention, to distinguish the two electrodes of the transistor except the gate, one electrode is referred to as the first electrode and the other electrode is referred to as the second electrode.
[0133] In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor, the first electrode may be a drain electrode, and the second electrode may be a source electrode; or, the first electrode may be a source electrode, and the second electrode may be a drain electrode.
[0134] like Figure 1 As shown, in the relevant driving circuit, the drain of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the third low voltage terminal LVGL. The voltage value of the third low voltage signal provided by the third low voltage terminal LVGL is relatively low, which makes the absolute value of the drain-source voltage of the first transistor M1 relatively large. The inrush current of the first transistor M1 is relatively large, causing the characteristic drift of M1, resulting in a serious shortage of the on-current Ion of M1. The potential of the pull-up node cannot be pulled down, and the cascade relationship fails, affecting the reliability of the display product. Figure 1 In the related driving circuit shown, each transistor is an n-type transistor.
[0135] Figure 2A yes Figure 1 The working timing diagram of the related driving circuit is shown.
[0136] like Figure 2AAs shown, when the potential of the pull-up node is a high voltage, the potential of the first pull-down node PD1 is a low voltage, and the pull-up node PU is reset after a delay of 1H (1H is a row scan time). Under the control of the potential of the pull-up node PU, G1 is connected to CLK. At this time, CLK outputs a low voltage signal, and the potential of the driving signal output by G1 is first pulled down to a third low voltage value (the third low voltage value is the voltage value of the third low voltage signal provided by the third low voltage terminal LVGL, and the low voltage value of the clock signal provided by the clock signal terminal CLK is also the third low voltage value). After that, the potential of PD1 or PD2 The potential of the pull-up node PU is a high voltage, and the potential of the drive signal output by G1 is then pulled down to the first low voltage value (the first low voltage value is the voltage value of the first low voltage signal provided by the first low voltage terminal VGL1). The inventors found that since the third low voltage value is less than the first low voltage value, the delay of the drive signal output terminal is smaller, which is conducive to charging and prevents the phenomenon of large-size mischarging; the potential of the pull-up node PU is continuously high for a long time, for example, 9H, and the bias time is too long. Therefore, affected by the potential bootstrap of PU, the source-drain voltage difference of M1 is large, and the characteristics of M1 are prone to drift. Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention reduces the absolute value of the drain-source voltage of the transistor included in the first reset circuit to prevent the characteristics of the transistor included in the first reset circuit from drifting, thereby improving the reliability of the display product.
[0137] exist Figure 2B Among them, the one labeled X0 is the initial characteristic curve of M1, and the one labeled X1 is the characteristic curve of M1 after characteristic drift.
[0138] like Figure 2B As shown in FIG, when the characteristic of M1 drifts, the characteristic curve of M1 shifts rightward and downward.

[0295] like Figure 12 As shown, Figure 11 When at least one embodiment of the driving circuit shown is in operation, a driving cycle may include a first stage S1, a second stage S2, a third stage S3, a fourth stage S4 and a fifth stage S5 which are arranged in sequence;
[0296] In the first phase S1, I1 provides a high voltage signal, CLK provides a low voltage signal, M8 is turned on, the potential of PU rises for the first time, M14 is turned on, M15 is turned on, and OC and G1 both output low voltage signals;
[0297] The first stage S1 may last for 4 hours, wherein 1 hour is the charging time for one row;
[0298] In the second stage S2, CLK provides a high voltage signal, I1 provides a low voltage signal, M14 and M15 are turned on, OC and G1 both output high voltage signals, and due to the bootstrap effect of C1, the potential of PU rises for the second time;
[0299] In the third stage S3, CLK provides a low voltage signal, I1 provides a low voltage signal, M14 and M15 are turned on, OC and G1 both output low voltage signals, and the potential of PU drops for the first time;

[0301] In the fourth stage S4, I1 provides a low voltage signal, CLK provides a low voltage signal, R1 provides a high voltage signal, M1 is turned on, PU is connected to VGL1, and the potential of PU drops for the second time;
[0302] The fourth stage S4 is a reset stage, and R1 can be electrically connected to the carry output terminal of the adjacent lower-level driving circuit;
[0303] In the fifth stage S5, I1 provides a low voltage signal, the potential of PD1(n+4) is high, M2-4 is turned on, PU is connected to LVGL, and the potential of PU drops for the third time.
[0304] like Figure 12 As shown, in the third stage S3, G1 outputs a low voltage signal, and the voltage value of the low voltage signal output by G1 is a third low voltage value, which is equal to the voltage value of the third voltage signal provided by LVGL.

This reduces the absolute value of the drain-source voltage Vds of M1 when M1 is turned off, thereby reducing the characteristic offset of M1. When M1 is turned on, the source-drain voltage difference of M1 is reduced, thereby reducing the instantaneous current. At least one embodiment of the present invention achieves source-drain voltage reduction of M1 by changing the existing signal connection method without the need for additional GOA (Gate On Array, a gate drive circuit provided on the array substrate).

At least one embodiment of the present invention prevents short circuits by controlling M1 and M2-4 to not turn on simultaneously, and M1 and M3-4 to not turn on simultaneously.

At the same time, the leakage of the first transistor M1 is small, and the channel width-to-length ratio of the first transistor M1 becomes smaller, so the impact current of the first transistor M1 becomes smaller, which can improve the performance of the first transistor M1 and reduce the performance drift of the first transistor M1.
