[0109] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, a shift register, a gate driving circuit, and a display device provided by the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0110] The terms "first", "second" and similar terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects preceding the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
[0111] The transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure can all be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other devices with the same characteristics. In this embodiment, the coupling methods of the drain and source of each transistor can be interchangeable. Therefore, there is actually no difference between the drain and source of each transistor in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Here, only in order to distinguish the two poles of the transistor other than the control pole (i.e., the gate), one of the poles is called the drain and the other pole is called the source. The thin film transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be N-type transistors or P-type transistors. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when an N-type thin film transistor is used, its first pole can be the source and the second pole can be the drain.
[0112] In this disclosure, "active voltage" refers to a voltage that, when input to the control electrode of a transistor, can turn the transistor on, and "inactive voltage" refers to a voltage that, when input to the control electrode of a transistor, can turn the transistor off. For N-type transistors, a high voltage is an active voltage, and a low voltage is an inactive voltage. For P-type transistors, a low voltage is an active voltage, and a high voltage is an inactive voltage.
[0113] In the following description, an N-type transistor is used as an example. In this case, the active voltage level refers to a high voltage level, and the inactive voltage level refers to a low voltage level. It is conceivable that when a P-type transistor is used, the timing of the control voltage change needs to be adjusted accordingly. The specific details are not detailed here, but are also within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0114] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a pixel circuit within an organic light-emitting diode display panel. Figure 2 is an operational timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, for an organic light-emitting diode display panel with external compensation, a frame can be divided into two phases: a display drive phase and a sensing phase. During the display drive phase, each row of pixel units in the display panel performs display drive; during the sensing phase, a row of pixel units in the display panel performs current extraction (i.e., sensing).
[0115] As shown in Figure 1, the pixel circuit includes a display switch transistor QTFT (with its control electrode connected to the first gate line G1), a drive transistor DTFT, a sense switch transistor STFT (with its control electrode connected to the second gate line G2), and a Cst. When external compensation is required for this pixel circuit, the pixel circuit operates in at least two phases: a display drive phase (including the data voltage writing process) and a sense drive phase (including the current reading process).
[0116] During the display drive phase, the data voltage Vdata in the data line Data needs to be written to the pixel unit; during the sensing drive phase, a test voltage Vsence needs to be written to the pixel unit via the data line Data, and the electrical signal at the drain of the driving transistor needs to be read to the signal read line RL via the sensing switch transistor STFT. During the current reading process, an effective level voltage needs to be written to the gate of the sensing switch transistor STFT via the corresponding second gate line G2. It should be noted that the pixel units in the OLED display panel are externally compensated. The specific compensation process and principles will not be repeated here.
[0117] For the first gate line G1 used to control the display switch transistor QTFT and the second gate line G2 used to control the sensing switch transistor STFT, corresponding gate drive circuits are respectively configured in the peripheral area of the display panel. The gate drive circuit includes multiple cascaded shift register units, which can provide drive signals to the corresponding gate lines through the shift register units.
[0118] FIG3 is a schematic diagram of a circuit structure of a shift register involved in the related art. As shown in FIG3 , the shift register includes a display input reset circuit 1, an inverting circuit 2, and at least one output circuit 5 (only one output circuit 5 is shown in FIG1 ). The output circuit 5 includes an output transistor and a pull-down transistor. The control electrode of the output transistor is connected to the pull-up node PU, and the control electrode of the pull-down transistor is connected to the pull-down node PD. The inverting circuit 2 is connected to the second power supply terminal and the third power supply terminal. The inverting circuit 2 is configured to invert the voltage of the pull-up node PU in response to the non-valid level voltage provided by the second power supply terminal and the valid level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal, and output the inverted voltage to the pull-down node PD.
[0119] In actual applications, it is found that the time duration that the voltage at the pull-down node PD is in the high level state is much longer than the time duration that the voltage is in the high level state, that is, the voltage at the pull-down node PD is in the high level state for a long time, which will cause the threshold voltage of the pull-down transistor to drift positively (the threshold voltage gradually increases).
[0120] Furthermore, the high-level voltage at the pull-down node PD is provided by the inverter circuit 2. This high-level voltage is related to the high-level voltage (effective-level voltage) provided by the third power supply terminal to which the inverter circuit 2 is connected. The transistors within the inverter circuit 2 connected to the control electrode and the third power supply terminal will also experience a positive drift due to the control electrode being in a continuously high-level state. This will also cause the voltage written by the inverter circuit 2 to the pull-down node PD to gradually decrease.
[0121] It can be seen that in the related art, as the usage time increases, the high-level voltage output by the inverter circuit 2 to the pull-down node PD will gradually decrease, while the threshold voltage of the pull-down transistor in the output circuit 5 will gradually increase. There is a risk that the high-level voltage output by the inverter circuit 2 to the pull-down node PD cannot control the pull-down transistor to turn on, resulting in a decrease in the reliability of the shift register.
[0122] In order to effectively improve at least one of the technical problems existing in the related art, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shift register.

[0126] The output circuit 5 is connected to the pull-up node PU, the pull-down node PD, the corresponding signal output terminal OUT, the corresponding output clock signal terminal CLKE, and the corresponding fourth power supply terminal. The output circuit 5 is configured to write the signal provided by the output clock signal terminal CLKE to the corresponding signal output terminal OUT in response to the control of the voltage at the pull-up node PU, and to write the voltage provided by the corresponding fourth power supply terminal to the corresponding signal output terminal OUT in response to the control of the voltage at the pull-up node PU.
[0127] The first detection circuit 100 is connected to the signal collection point, the collection control terminal, and the first signal detection line SGD. The first detection circuit 100 is configured to control the voltage at the signal collection point in response to the signal provided by the collection control terminal and output a detection voltage corresponding to the voltage at the signal collection point to the first signal detection line SGD, so that the external first chip can adjust the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal according to the detection voltage. The signal collection point includes at least one of the pull-down node PD and the signal output terminal OUT.
[0128] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the effective level voltage actually output by the inverter circuit 2 to the pull-down node PD can reflect the threshold voltage drift of the transistor whose control electrode is connected to the third power supply terminal in the inverter circuit 2, and when the voltage at the pull-up node PU is the effective level voltage and the fourth power supply terminal provides the effective level voltage, the voltage output by the signal output terminal OUT can reflect the overall threshold voltage drift of both the transistor whose control electrode is connected to the third power supply terminal in the inverter circuit 2 and the pull-down transistor in the output circuit 5.
[0129] Therefore, in the present disclosure, a first detection circuit 100 is provided to detect the effective level voltage at at least one of the pull-down node PD and the signal output terminal OUT, and output a corresponding detection voltage. The external first chip connected to the first signal detection line SGD can adjust (increase) the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal according to the detection voltage, so that the effective level voltage output by the inverter circuit 2 to the pull-down node PD is always higher than the threshold voltage of the pull-down transistor, thereby ensuring that the pull-down transistor can always be in the on state when the inverter circuit 2 outputs the effective level voltage to the pull-down node PD, thereby improving the reliability of the shift register.
[0130] In some embodiments, the first detection circuit 100 includes: at least one of a first detection sub-circuit 100a and a second detection sub-circuit 100b, and the acquisition control terminal includes: a first acquisition control terminal CL1 or a second acquisition control terminal CL2.
[0131] The first detection sub-circuit 100a is connected to the pull-down node PD, the first acquisition control terminal CL1 and the first signal detection line SGD. The first detection sub-circuit 100a is configured to collect the voltage at the pull-down node PD in response to the control of the signal provided by the first acquisition control terminal CL1 and output a first detection voltage corresponding to the voltage at the pull-down node PD to the first signal detection line SGD.
[0132] The second detection sub-circuit 100b is connected to the signal output terminal OUT, the second collection control terminal CL2 and the first signal detection line SGD. The second detection sub-circuit 100b is configured to collect the voltage at the pull-down node PD in response to the control of the signal provided by the second collection control terminal CL2 and output a second detection voltage corresponding to the voltage at the signal output terminal OUT to the first signal detection line SGD.
[0133] 4A exemplarily shows a case where the first detection circuit 100 only includes the first detection sub-circuit 100a, FIG4B exemplarily shows a case where the first detection circuit 100 only includes the second detection sub-circuit 100b, and FIG4C exemplarily shows a case where the first detection circuit 100 includes both the first detection sub-circuit 100a and the second detection sub-circuit 100b.
[0134] In the present disclosure, the process of using the first detection sub-circuit 100a to detect the effective level voltage at the pull-down node PD is as follows: an effective level signal is provided to the reset signal terminal RST, so that the display input reset circuit 1 writes the non-effective level voltage provided by the second power supply terminal to the pull-up node PU. At this time, under the action of the inverting circuit 2, the inverting circuit 2 outputs an effective level voltage to the pull-down node PD based on the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal. At the same time, an effective level signal is provided to the first acquisition control terminal CL1, so that the first detection sub-circuit 100a acquires the effective level voltage at the pull-down node PD and outputs a first detection voltage corresponding to the voltage at the pull-down node PD to the first signal detection line SGD. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first detection voltage output by the first detection sub-circuit 100a to the first signal detection line SGD can be equal to or unequal to the effective level voltage at the pull-down node PD (if they are unequal, it is sufficient that the two satisfy a certain preset relationship). This will be described in detail later.
[0135] In the present disclosure, the process of using the second detection sub-circuit 100b to detect the effective level voltage at the pull-down node PD is as follows: an effective level signal is provided to the reset signal terminal RST, so that the display input reset circuit 1 writes the non-effective level voltage provided by the second power supply terminal to the pull-up node PU. At this time, under the action of the inverting circuit 2, the inverting circuit 2 outputs an effective level voltage to the pull-down node PD based on the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal. At the same time, an effective level signal is provided to the first acquisition control terminal CL1, and an effective level voltage is provided to the fourth power supply terminal corresponding to the output circuit 5 connected to the second detection sub-circuit 100b. This causes the second detection sub-circuit 100b to acquire the effective level voltage at the connected signal output terminal OUT and output a second detection voltage corresponding to the effective level voltage at the signal output terminal OUT to the first signal detection line SGD. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second detection voltage output by the second detection sub-circuit 100b to the first signal detection line SGD can be equal to or unequal to the effective level voltage at the signal output terminal OUT (if unequal, it is sufficient that the two satisfy a certain predetermined relationship). This will be described in detail later.

FIG6 is an operation timing diagram of the voltage acquisition process performed by the first detection circuit 100 in the shift register shown in FIG5 .

[0137] The control electrode of the ninth transistor M9 and the first electrode of the ninth transistor M9 are both connected to the display signal input terminal INPUT1 , and the second electrode of the ninth transistor M9 is connected to the pull-up node PU.
[0138] The control electrode of the tenth transistor M10 is connected to the display reset signal input terminal RST, the first electrode of the tenth transistor M10 is connected to the pull-up node PU, and the second electrode of the tenth transistor M10 is connected to the second power supply terminal.

[0142] A control electrode of the seventeenth transistor M17 is connected to the pull-down node PD, a first electrode of the seventeenth transistor M17 is connected to the corresponding signal output terminal OUT, and a second electrode of the seventeenth transistor M17 is connected to the corresponding fourth power supply terminal.
[0143] A first end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the pull-up node PU, and a second end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the corresponding signal output terminal OUT.
[0144] It should be noted that the specific circuit structure of the display input reset circuit 1, the inverting circuit 2 and the output circuit 5 exemplified above is only an optional implementation scheme in the present disclosure, which does not limit the technical solution of the present disclosure.
[0145] In some embodiments, the first detection sub-circuit 100a includes: a fifty-first transistor M51; the control electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is connected to the first acquisition control terminal CL1, the first electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is connected to the pull-down node PD, and the second electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is connected to the first signal detection line SGD.
[0146] The detection process of the first detection sub-circuit 100a and the principle of adjusting the effective level voltage output by the third power supply terminal based on the first detection voltage in the first signal detection line SGD will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples.
[0147] The second power supply terminal provides a low-level voltage V2, the third power supply terminal provides a high-level voltage V3, the fourth power supply terminal provides a high-level voltage V4, and the high-level voltage V4 ≥ the high-level voltage V3.
[0148] As shown in FIG6 , the first acquisition period (a period during which the gate drive circuit does not need to drive the display device, such as a blank period after the display device is powered on and before displaying the first frame, or between two adjacent frames) includes: a first sub-stage d1 and a second sub-stage d2.
[0149] In the first sub-phase d1, the display reset signal input terminal RST provides a high-level signal, and the first acquisition control terminal CL1 provides a low-level signal. The tenth transistor M10 is turned on, and the fifty-first transistor M51 is turned off. The low-level voltage provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the pull-up node PU, which is in a low-level state. Accordingly, the thirteenth transistor M13 is turned off, and the high-level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal is written to the pull-down node PD via the twelfth transistor M12. At this time, the voltage actually written to the pull-down node PD is V3-Vth_M12, where Vth_M12 is the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 during the first acquisition period. Accordingly, the seventeenth transistor M17 is turned on, and the fourth power supply terminal charges the signal output terminal OUT. When the voltage at the signal output terminal OUT is charged to V3-Vth_M12-Vth_M17, the gate-source voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 equals the current threshold voltage Vth_M17 of the seventeenth transistor M17, and the seventeenth transistor M17 switches to the off state.
[0150] In the second sub-stage d2, the first acquisition control terminal CL1 provides a high-level signal, the fifty-first transistor M51 is turned on, and the voltage at the pull-down node PD is written to the first signal detection line SGD through the fifty-first transistor M51, that is, the first detection voltage Vdtc11 = V3 - Vth_M12 collected through the first signal detection line SGD.
[0151] After a period of time (which can be pre-set according to actual conditions), the second acquisition period begins (a period during which the gate drive circuit does not need to drive the display device, such as the blanking period between two adjacent frames after the display device completes power-on). The second acquisition period also includes two sub-stages: a first sub-stage d1 and a second sub-stage d2. The specific process is the same as that of the first acquisition period and will not be repeated here. In the second sub-stage d2 of the second acquisition period, the first detection voltage Vdtc12 collected on the first signal detection line SGD is V3-Vth_M12', and Vth_M12' is the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 in the second acquisition period. Generally, the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 will produce a positive drift under the action of the high-level voltage V3, that is, Vth_M12'>Vth_M12.
[0152] In the disclosed embodiment, the external first chip can determine the threshold voltage drift of the twelfth transistor M12 by comparing the first detection voltage Vdtc11 collected during the first acquisition period with the first detection voltage Vdtc12 collected during the second acquisition period. For example, the difference between the two first detection voltages is calculated as Vdtc11-Vdtc12 to determine the threshold voltage drift ΔVth_M12 of the twelfth transistor M12 from the first acquisition period to the second acquisition period, where ΔVth_M12 = Vth_M12'-Vth_M12 = Vdtc11-Vdtc12.
[0153] At this time, the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal can be adjusted according to the threshold voltage drift of the twelfth transistor M12.
[0154] As an example, the effective level voltage V3' provided by the adjusted third power supply terminal is: V3'=V3+2*ΔVth_M12=V3+2*(Vdtc11-Vdtc12)
[0155] In actual applications, it is found that the threshold voltage drift of the seventeenth transistor M17 is substantially the same as the threshold voltage drift of the twelfth transistor M12, that is, the threshold voltage drift ΔVth_M12 of the twelfth transistor M12 from the first acquisition period to the second acquisition period is equal to or approximately equal to the threshold voltage drift ΔVth_M17 of the seventeenth transistor M17 from the first acquisition period to the second acquisition period. The threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 in the first acquisition period is denoted as Vth_M17, and the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 in the second acquisition period is denoted as Vth_M17', where ΔVth_M17 = Vth_M17' - Vth_M17 ≈ ΔVth_M12.
[0156] During the first acquisition period, the difference between the control voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 (the voltage at the pull-down node PD) and the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 is V3 - Vth_M12 - Vth_M17. After the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 drifts to Vth_M12' and the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 drifts to Vth_M17', to ensure that the seventeenth transistor M17 can still conduct normally, the effective level voltage provided by the third power terminal can be adjusted to V3', so that the difference between the control voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 (i.e., V3' - Vth_M12') and the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 (Vth_M17') remains at V3 - Vth_M12 - Vth_M17.
[0157] That is, V3'-Vth_M12'-Vth_M17'=V3-Vth_M12-Vth_M17
[0158] At this time, V3′=V3+(Vth_M12′-Vth_M12)+(Vth_M17′-Vth_M17)=V3+ΔVth_M12+ΔVth_M17;
[0159] Also, △Vth_M17≈△Vth_M12;
[0160] Therefore, V3'≈V3+2*△Vth_M12;
[0161] Also, ΔVth_M12=Vdtc11-Vdtc12;
[0162] Therefore, V3'≈V3+2*(Vdtc11-Vdtc12);
[0163] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal is adjusted based on the first detection voltage, the adjusted effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal can be adjusted to V3+2*(Vdtc11-Vdtc12).
[0164] Of course, the above adjustment method is merely one optional implementation in the present disclosure and does not limit the technical solution of the present disclosure. In actual applications, a corresponding adjustment algorithm can be set based on the first detection voltage as needed. Furthermore, the above example only illustrates the case where the first detection voltage is equal to the voltage at the pull-down node PD.
[0165] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of another circuit structure of a shift register provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 is an operational timing diagram of the voltage acquisition process performed by the first detection circuit within the shift register shown in Figure 7. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, unlike the first detection sub-circuit 100a shown in Figure 5 which only includes the fifty-first transistor M51, the first detection sub-circuit 100a shown in Figure 7 includes a fifty-first transistor M51, a fifty-second transistor M52, a fifty-third transistor M53, and a fifty-fourth transistor M54.
[0166] The control electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is connected to the first acquisition control terminal CL1 , the first electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is connected to the second electrode of the fifty-second transistor M52 , and the second electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is connected to the first signal detection line SGD.
[0167] A control electrode of the fifty-second transistor M52 is connected to the pull-down node PD, and a first electrode of the fifty-second transistor M52 is connected to the second electrode of the fifty-third transistor M53 and the first electrode of the fifty-fourth transistor M54.
[0168] The control electrode of the fifty-third transistor M53 is connected to the first switch control terminal J1, and the first electrode of the fifty-third transistor M53 is connected to the control electrode of the fifty-second transistor M52.
[0169] A control electrode of the fifty-fourth transistor M54 is connected to the second switch control terminal J2, and a second electrode of the fifty-fourth transistor M54 is connected to the seventh power supply terminal.
[0170] The voltage V7 provided by the seventh power supply terminal is a low-level voltage. As an example, the low-level voltage V7 may be equal to the low-level voltage V2 provided by the second power supply terminal.
[0171] 8 , between the first acquisition period and the second acquisition period is a non-acquisition period (the gate driving circuit can normally drive the display device). The first acquisition period and the second acquisition period both include: a first sub-stage d1 and a second sub-stage d2.
[0172] In the first sub-phase d1 of the first acquisition period, the display reset signal input terminal RST provides a high-level signal, the first acquisition control terminal CL1 provides a low-level signal, the first switch control terminal J1 provides a low-level signal, and the second switch control terminal J2 provides a high-level signal. At this time, the tenth transistor M10 is turned on, the fifty-first transistor M51 is turned off, the fifty-third transistor M53 is turned off, and the fifty-fourth transistor M54 is turned on. The low-level voltage provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the pull-up node PU, which is in a low-level state. Correspondingly, the thirteenth transistor M13 is turned off, and the high-level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal is written to the pull-down node PD via the twelfth transistor M12. At this time, the voltage actually written to the pull-down node PD is V3 - Vth_M12, where Vth_M12 is the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 during the first acquisition period.
[0173] In the second sub-phase d2 of the first acquisition period, the first acquisition control terminal CL1 provides a high-level signal, the first switch control terminal J1 provides a high-level signal, and the second switch control terminal J2 provides a low-level signal. At this time, the 51st transistor M51 and the 53rd transistor M53 are turned on, and the 54th transistor M54 is turned off.
[0174] Because the fifty-third transistor M53 is turned on, the voltage at the pull-up node PU is used to charge the first electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 through the fifty-second transistor M52. When the voltage at the first electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is charged to V3 - Vth_M12 - Vth_M52, the gate-source voltage of the fifty-second transistor M52 is equal to the current threshold voltage Vth_M52 of the fifty-second transistor M52, and the fifty-second transistor M52 is switched to the off state. At this time, because the fifty-first transistor M51 is turned on, the first detection voltage Vdtc11 output to the first signal detection line SGD is equal to V3 - Vth_M12 - Vth_M52.
[0175] During the non-collection period, the first collection control terminal CL1 provides a low-level signal, the first switch control terminal J1 provides a low-level signal, and the second switch control terminal J2 provides a high-level signal. That is, the 51st transistor M51 and the 53rd transistor M53 are both turned off, and the 54th transistor M54 is turned on. This design ensures that, during the non-collection period, the stress experienced by the 52nd transistor M52 is the same as the stress experienced by the 17th transistor M17 in the output circuit 5. In other words, the threshold voltage shift of the 52nd transistor M52 is the same as the threshold voltage shift of the 17th transistor M17.
[0176] After the non-collection period ends, the second collection period begins. The specific operation process is the same as that of the first collection period and will not be repeated here. In the second collection period, the first detection sub-circuit 100a outputs a first detection voltage Vdtc12 = V3 - Vth_M12' - Vth_M52' to the first signal detection line SGD.
[0177] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the external first chip can obtain the overall drift of the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 and the threshold voltage of the fifty-second transistor M52 by comparing the first detection voltage Vdtc11 collected during the first collection period with the first detection voltage Vdtc12 collected during the second collection period. For example, by subtracting the two first detection voltages Vdtc11-Vdtc12, the overall drift of the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 and the threshold voltage of the fifty-second transistor M52 from the first collection period to the second collection period (i.e., the corresponding non-collection period) can be obtained: ΔVth_M12+ΔVth_M52=(Vth_M12'-Vth_M12)+(Vth_M52'-Vth_M52)=Vdtc11-Vdtc12.
[0178] Furthermore, because the threshold voltage shift ΔVth_M52 of the fifty-second transistor M52 is the same as the threshold voltage shift ΔVth_M17 of the seventeenth transistor M17 , ΔVth_M12+ΔVth_M17=Vdtc11−Vdtc12.
[0179] During the first acquisition period, the difference between the control voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 (the voltage at the pull-down node PD) and the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 is V3 - Vth_M12 - Vth_M17. After the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 drifts to Vth_M12' and the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 drifts to Vth_M17', to ensure that the seventeenth transistor M17 can still conduct normally, the effective level voltage provided by the third power terminal can be adjusted to V3', so that the difference between the control voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 (i.e., V3' - Vth_M12') and the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 (Vth_M17') remains at V3 - Vth_M12 - Vth_M17.
[0180] That is, V3'-Vth_M12'-Vth_M17'=V3-Vth_M12-Vth_M17;
[0181] At this time, V3′=V3+(Vth_M12′-Vth_M12)+(Vth_M17′-Vth_M17)=V3+ΔVth_M12+ΔVth_M17;
[0182] And because △Vth_M12+△Vth_M17=Vdtc11-Vdtc12;
[0183] Therefore, V3'=V3+(Vdtc11-Vdtc12).
[0184] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the effective level voltage provided by the third power terminal is adjusted based on the first detection voltage, the adjusted effective level voltage provided by the third power terminal can be adjusted to V3+(Vdtc11-Vdtc12).
[0185] In the disclosed embodiment, the first detection voltage output by the first detection sub-circuit 100a to the first signal detection line SGD is different from the voltage at the pull-down node PD. Furthermore, the adjustment algorithm used to adjust the effective level voltage output by the third power supply terminal based on the first detection voltage in the disclosed embodiment is also different from that in the previous embodiment.
[0186] Figures 9A and 9B are schematic diagrams of two further circuit structures of the shift register provided in embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 9A and 9B are further improvements based on the shift register shown in Figure 7 , wherein the first detection sub-circuit 100a includes not only the 51st to 54th transistors M51 to M54 shown in Figure 7 , but also a 55th transistor M55.
[0187] Referring to Figure 9A, as an example, the second electrode of the fifty-second transistor M52 is connected to the first electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 through the fifty-fifth transistor M55, the control electrode of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 and the first electrode of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 are both connected to the second electrode of the fifty-second transistor M52, and the second electrode of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 is connected to the first electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51.
[0188] Referring to Figure 9B, as an example, the second electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is connected to the first signal detection line SGD through the fifty-fifth transistor M55, the control electrode of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 and the first electrode of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 are both connected to the second electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51, and the second electrode of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 is connected to the first signal detection line SGD.
[0189] The working sequence of the voltage acquisition process of the first detection circuit 100 in the shift register shown in Figures 9A and 9B can adopt the one shown in Figure 8 above. The specific working process description can refer to the corresponding content in the previous embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0190] In Figures 9A and 9B , the diode-connected 55th transistor M55 effectively reduces the first detection voltage output by the first detection sub-circuit 100a to the first signal detection line SGD. Specifically, during the first acquisition period, the first detection voltage Vdtc11 output by the first detection circuit 100 is V3 - Vth_M12 - Vth_M52 - Vth_M55; during the second acquisition period, the first detection voltage Vdtc12 output by the first detection circuit 100 is V3 - Vth_M12' - Vth_M52' - Vth_M55. Vth_M55 is the threshold voltage of the 55th transistor M55.
[0191] In practical applications, the first chip connected to the first signal detection line SGD often has certain requirements for the voltage value of the input signal. For example, the input signal voltage must be less than or equal to 6V. However, the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal is generally around 12V. In this case, there is a risk that the voltage output by the first detection sub-circuit 100a to the first signal detection line SGD will exceed 6V, thereby causing the first chip connected to the first signal detection line SGD to malfunction. However, by providing the fifty-fifth transistor M55 and pre-designing the threshold voltage of the fifty-fifth transistor M55, the first detection voltage output by the first detection sub-circuit 100a to the first signal detection line SGD can be controlled to always be less than 6V.
[0192] In addition, the configuration of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 can also effectively prevent the signal in the first signal detection line SGD from reversely charging the first detection sub-circuit 100a, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the transistor in the first detection sub-circuit 100a.
[0193] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of another circuit structure of a shift register provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 11 is an operational timing diagram of the voltage acquisition process performed by the second detection circuit within the shift register shown in Figure 10. In some embodiments, the second detection sub-circuit 100b includes: a fifty-sixth transistor M56; the control electrode of the fifty-sixth transistor M56 is connected to the corresponding second acquisition control terminal CL2; the first electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is connected to the pull-down node PD; and the second electrode of the fifty-first transistor M51 is connected to the first signal detection line SGD.
[0194] In this embodiment, the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply terminal connected to the output circuit 5 corresponding to the second detection circuit 200 is a high-level voltage, and the high-level voltage V4 ≥ the high-level voltage V3.
[0195] As shown in Figure 11, the first acquisition period includes a first sub-stage d1 and a second sub-stage d2. In the first sub-stage d1, the display reset signal input terminal RST provides a high-level signal, and the second acquisition control terminal CL2 provides a low-level signal. The tenth transistor M10 is turned on, and the fifty-first transistor M51 is turned off. The low-level voltage provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the pull-up node PU, which is in a low-level state. Correspondingly, the thirteenth transistor M13 is turned off, and the high-level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal is written to the pull-down node PD via the twelfth transistor M12. At this time, the voltage actually written to the pull-down node PD is V3 - Vth_M12, where Vth_M12 is the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 during the first acquisition period. Correspondingly, the seventeenth transistor M17 is turned on, and the fourth power supply terminal charges the signal output terminal OUT. When the voltage at the signal output terminal OUT is charged to V3-Vth_M12-Vth_M17, the gate-source voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 is equal to the current threshold voltage Vth_M17 of the seventeenth transistor M17, and the seventeenth transistor M17 is switched to the cut-off state.
[0196] In the second sub-stage d2, the second acquisition control terminal CL2 provides a high-level signal, the fifty-sixth transistor M56 is turned on, and the voltage at the signal output terminal OUT is written to the first signal detection line SGD through the fifty-sixth transistor M56, that is, the second detection voltage Vdtc21 = V3 - Vth_M12 - Vth_M17 collected through the first signal detection line SGD.
[0197] After a period of time (which can be pre-set based on actual conditions), the second acquisition period begins. This period also consists of two sub-phases: the first sub-phase d1 and the second sub-phase d2. The specific process is identical to that of the first acquisition period and will not be repeated here. In the second sub-phase d2 of the second acquisition period, the first detection voltage Vdtc22 collected on the first signal detection line SGD is V3 - Vth_M12' - Vth_M17'.
[0198] In the disclosed embodiment, the external first chip can determine the overall drift of the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 and the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 by comparing the second detection voltage Vdtc21 collected during the first collection period with the second detection voltage Vdtc22 collected during the second collection period. For example, by subtracting the two second detection voltages by Vdtc21-Vdtc22, the overall drift of the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 and the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 from the first collection period to the second collection period (i.e., corresponding to the non-collection period) can be determined by ΔVth_M12+ΔVth_M17.
[0199] Similar to the voltage adjustment scheme corresponding to the shift register shown in FIG8 , in this embodiment, when the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal is adjusted based on the second detection voltage, the adjusted effective level voltage V3′ provided by the third power supply terminal can be adjusted to V3+(Vdtc21-Vdtc22). The specific adjustment principle can be found in the corresponding content above and will not be repeated here.
[0200] In some embodiments, the number of output circuits 5 is m, the number of second detection sub-circuits 100b is n, and the number of second acquisition control terminals CL2 is n. Each second detection sub-circuit 100b corresponds to each second acquisition control terminal CL2 in a one-to-one correspondence, where m and n are both positive integers and m ≥ n. Different second detection sub-circuits 100b correspond to different output circuits 5, and each second detection sub-circuit 100b is connected to the signal output terminal OUT of the corresponding output circuit 5. This will be described in detail below with reference to examples.
[0201] Figure 12 is another circuit structure diagram of the shift register provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 12, in some embodiments, the shift register includes a plurality of output circuits 5, which generally include a cascade output circuit 5 and at least one driving output circuit 5 (four driving output circuits 5 are exemplarily drawn in the accompanying drawings). Wherein, the signal output end of the cascade output circuit 5 is a cascade signal output end COUT, and the cascade signal output end COUT is connected to other shift registers but not to the gate line in the display area, and the signal output by the cascade signal output end COUT is used for the cascade between the shift registers; the signal output end of the driving output circuit 5 is a drive signal output end GOUT, and the drive signal output end GOUT is connected to the corresponding gate line in the display area but not to other shift registers, and the signal output by the drive signal output end GOUT is used to drive the corresponding gate line.
[0202] The output clock signal terminal of the cascade output circuit 5 is the cascade output clock signal terminal CLKD, and the output clock signal terminal of the driving output circuit 5 is the driving output clock signal terminals CLKE1 to CLKE4. The cascade output circuit 5 may include a first capacitor C1 or not.
[0203] FIG12 exemplarily shows a situation where a second detection sub-circuit 100 b is provided in the shift register, and the second detection sub-circuit 100 b is connected to the cascade signal output terminal COUT of the cascade output circuit 5 .
[0204] Of course, in some embodiments, the second detection sub-circuit 100 b may also be selectively connected to the driving signal output terminal OUT of a driving output circuit 5 .
[0205] FIG13 is a schematic diagram of another circuit structure of a shift register provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG13 , unlike FIG12 which only has one second detection sub-circuit 100 b, the embodiment shown in FIG13 illustrates multiple second detection sub-circuits 100 b corresponding one-to-one to the output circuit 5 .
[0206] The shift register shown in FIG13 includes a first sub-stage and a second sub-stage within one acquisition period. For the description of the first sub-stage, reference can be made to the description of the first sub-stage in FIG11 . Only the second sub-stage will be described in detail below.
[0207] Specifically, in the second sub-stage, a high-level signal is provided to each second acquisition control terminal CL2 in turn to control the fifty-sixth transistor M56 in each second detection sub-circuit 100b to be turned on in turn, thereby enabling each second detection sub-circuit 100b to write the corresponding second detection voltage to the first signal detection line SGD in turn.
[0208] In actual applications, the threshold voltage drift of the seventeenth transistor M17 in different output circuits 5 may vary. Therefore, multiple second detection sub-circuits 100b can be used to collect signals output from the signal output terminals OUT of different output circuits 5, thereby obtaining the overall drift of the threshold voltage of the seventeenth transistor M17 and the threshold voltage of the twelfth transistor M12 in different output circuits 5. Then, based on the second detection voltage output by each second detection sub-circuit 100b, an adjustment scheme for the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal is determined.
[0209] As an example, an average value is calculated for the multiple second detection voltages collected by the multiple second detection sub-circuits 100b in the first collection period, and an average value is calculated for the multiple second detection voltages collected by the multiple second detection sub-circuits 100b in the second collection period, and then the effective level voltage provided by the third power supply terminal is adjusted based on the two average values.
[0210] Those skilled in the art should know that when the number of output circuits 5 is multiple, the number of second detection sub-circuits 100b set in the shift register can be one or more, and it is only necessary to ensure that the number of second detection sub-circuits 100b is less than or equal to the number of output circuits 5.
[0211] Figure 14 is a schematic diagram of another circuit structure of a shift register provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the embodiment shown in Figure 14, the detection circuit includes not only a first detection sub-circuit 100a but also a second detection sub-circuit 100b, which can sequentially provide high-level signals to the first acquisition control terminal CL1 and each second acquisition control terminal CL2 to control the first detection sub-circuit 100a and each second detection sub-circuit 100b to sequentially provide a detection voltage to the first signal detection line SGD.
[0212] The first detection voltage output by the first detection sub-circuit 100a can reflect the threshold voltage drift of the transistor whose control electrode is connected to the third power supply terminal in the inverter circuit 2 (e.g., the twelfth transistor M12 in the figure). The second detection voltage output by the second detection sub-circuit 100b can reflect the overall threshold voltage drift of the transistor whose control electrode is connected to the third power supply terminal in the inverter circuit 2 and the pull-down transistor in the output circuit 5 (e.g., the seventeenth transistor M17 in the figure). Therefore, based on the difference between the second detection voltage and the first detection voltage, the threshold voltage drift of the corresponding pull-down transistor in the output circuit 5 can be reflected. That is, when both the first detection sub-circuit 100a and the second detection sub-circuit 100b are provided, the threshold voltage drift of the transistor whose control electrode is connected to the third power supply terminal in the inverter circuit 2 and the threshold voltage drift of the pull-down transistor in the output circuit 5 can be respectively obtained, thereby enabling precise control of the threshold voltage drift of the pull-down transistor, thereby facilitating subsequent precise regulation of the voltages provided to the respective electrodes of the pull-down transistor according to actual needs.
[0213] FIG15 is a schematic diagram of another circuit structure of a shift register provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG15 , the shift register shown in FIG15 includes not only a first detection circuit 100 but also a step-down circuit 6 disposed between the first detection circuit 100 and the step-down circuit 6. The step-down circuit 6 is configured to step down the detection voltage output by the first detection circuit 100 and output the stepped-down detection voltage to the first signal detection line SGD.
[0214] Similar to the step-down function of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 set in the previous embodiment, by setting the step-down voltage in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the voltage range of the first detection circuit 100 output to the first signal detection line SGD can be effectively controlled to avoid the situation where the external first chip cannot read due to the output voltage of the first detection circuit 100 being too large.
[0215] In practical applications, considering that the threshold voltage of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 (generally less than 3V) is generally not too large, the voltage reduction degree of the fifty-fifth transistor M55 is limited, so the above-mentioned voltage reduction circuit 6 can be additionally provided in the present disclosure.
[0216] In some embodiments, the step-down circuit 6 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. A first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first detection circuit 100, a second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first signal detection line SGD, a first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the second end of the first resistor R1, and a second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to ground. Voltage reduction can be achieved using the principle of resistor voltage division.
[0217] For the detailed description of the first detection circuit 100 in FIG15 , reference may be made to the contents in the previous embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
[0218] Figures 16A and 16B are schematic diagrams of two further circuit structures of the shift register provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 16A and 16B, unlike the circuit structure in which the inverter circuit 2 includes the twelfth transistor M12 and the thirteenth transistor M13 in the previous embodiment, the inverter circuit 2 in the shift register shown in Figures 16A and 16B includes a thirty-seventh transistor M37, a thirty-eighth transistor M38, a thirty-ninth transistor M39, and a fortieth transistor M40.
[0219] The control electrode of the 37th transistor M37 is connected to the third power supply terminal, the first electrode of the 37th transistor M37 is connected to the control electrode of the 37th transistor M37, and the second electrode of the 37th transistor M37 is connected to the control electrode of the 38th transistor M38.
[0220] The control electrode of the 38th transistor M38 is connected to the first electrode of the 40th transistor M40 , the first electrode of the 38th transistor M38 is connected to the third power supply terminal, and the second electrode of the 38th transistor M38 is connected to the pull-down node PD.
[0221] The control electrode of the thirty-ninth transistor M39 is connected to the pull-up node PU, the first electrode of the thirty-ninth transistor M39 is connected to the pull-down node PD, and the second electrode of the thirty-ninth transistor M39 is connected to the fifth power supply terminal (shown in Figure 16A) or the pull-down node PD (shown in Figure 16B).
[0222] A control electrode of the 40th transistor M40 is connected to the pull-up node PU, and a second electrode of the 40th transistor M40 is connected to the second power supply terminal.
[0223] When the inverter circuit 2 adopts the configuration shown in FIG16 , the high-level voltage outputted by the inverter circuit 2 to the pull-up node PU is V3-Vth_M38, where Vth_M38 is the threshold voltage of the 38th transistor M38. The function of the 38th transistor M38 is similar to that of the 12th transistor M12 in the previous embodiment and will not be further described here.
[0224] In some embodiments, the inverter circuit 2 further includes: a forty-first transistor M41 , a second electrode of the thirty-seventh transistor M37 connected to a control electrode of the thirty-eighth transistor M38 via the forty-first transistor M41 ;
[0225] The control electrode of the forty-first transistor M41 is connected to the control electrode of the thirty-seventh transistor M37, the first electrode of the forty-first transistor M41 is connected to the second electrode of the thirty-seventh transistor M37, and the second electrode of the forty-first transistor M41 is connected to the control electrode of the thirty-eighth transistor M38.
[0226] In actual applications, it is found that when the 40th transistor M40 is in the cut-off state and the 37th transistor M37 is in the on state, a charging current with a short duration but a large current value will exist between the control electrode of the 38th transistor M38 and the effective level supply end (used to charge the control electrode of the 38th transistor M38). This charging current can easily cause damage to the 37th transistor M37, for example, causing the 37th transistor M37 to break down.
[0227] To improve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a forty-first transistor M41 is provided between the second electrode of the thirty-seventh transistor M37 and the control electrode of the thirty-eighth transistor M38. The provision of the forty-first transistor M41 can effectively reduce the charging current between the control electrode of the thirty-eighth transistor M38 and the effective level supply terminal, so as to prevent the charging current from breaking down the thirty-seventh transistor M37.
