[0046] In the following, only certain exemplary embodiments are simply described. As those skilled in the art can recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the drawings and the description are considered to be exemplary in nature rather than limiting.
[0047] The transistors employed in all embodiments of the present disclosure can be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other devices with the same characteristics, and the transistors employed in embodiments of the present disclosure are mainly switching transistors according to their roles in the circuit. Since the source and the drain of the switching transistor employed here are symmetrical, the source and the drain can be interchangeable. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the source (source electrode) is referred to as the first pole, and the drain (drain electrode) is referred to as the second pole, or the drain can be referred to as the first pole, and the source is referred to as the second pole. According to the configuration in the drawings, the middle end of the transistor is referred to as the gate (also referred to as the gate electrode), the signal input end is referred to as the source, and the signal output end is referred to as the drain.
[0048] The switching transistor employed in embodiments of the present disclosure can be a P-type switching transistor or an N-type switching transistor. The P-type switching transistor is turned on when the gate is at a low level and is turned off when the gate is at a high level. The N-type switching transistor is turned on when the gate is at a high level and is turned off when the gate is at a low level. In addition, a plurality of signals in each embodiment of the present disclosure correspond to a first potential and a second potential. The first potential and the second potential only represent two different potential states of the signal, and do not represent that the first potential or the second potential has a specific value throughout the text. Embodiments of the present disclosure are described by taking the first potential as an effective potential as an example.
[0049] The coupling may include direct physical contact between the two ends or indirect connection between the two ends (eg, connection between the two ends via a signal line). The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the coupling method between the two ends.
[0050] At present, the display panel uses a high frequency to ensure the image quality for dynamic images, and a low frequency to reduce power consumption for static images or slow dynamic images. This can reduce the power consumption of the display panel by switching the frequency between different frames. Since the gate drive circuit of the display panel outputs line by line, the frequency and duty cycle of the output signal are determined by the clock signal and cannot be adjusted within a frame. Therefore, when a frame of display includes a static display area and a dynamic display area, since the display panel of the related art cannot allocate different frequencies according to different rows within a frame, this results in the need to use high frequencies for both the static display area and the dynamic display area, resulting in power consumption loss of the display panel. It should be noted that the static display area is a static picture or a slow dynamic picture, and the dynamic display area is a dynamic picture.
[0051] In order to solve the power consumption loss problem in the related art, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a scan driving circuit. The technical solution of the present disclosure is described in detail below through embodiments.
[0052] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the scan drive circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the scan driving circuit according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include a driving signal generating module 10 and a signal output control module 20 .
[0053] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the driving signal generating module 10 is coupled to the input signal terminal INPUT, the clock signal terminal CLK and the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 respectively. The driving signal generating module 10 is configured to provide the signal of the clock signal terminal CLK to the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 under the control of the input signal terminal INPUT.
[0054] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the signal output control module 20 is coupled to the trigger signal terminal Vf, the first power terminal VGL_1, the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1, and the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2, respectively. The first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 provides a first signal to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2. The signal output control module 20 is configured such that, under the control of the trigger signal terminal Vf, the first power terminal VGL_1 provides a second signal to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2 to pull down the first signal.
[0055] It should be noted that in the display panel, the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2 of the scan driving circuit can be connected with the gate line of the display panel, so as to provide the gate driving signal to the gate line.
[0056] The scan driving circuit of the embodiment of the present disclosure, under the control of the trigger signal terminal Vf, the first power supply terminal VGL_1 provides the second signal to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2, and the second signal can adjust the first signal output by the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2. In this way, the scan driving circuit can be controlled to output the signal of the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 adjusted according to the first power supply terminal VGL_1 according to the requirements of the display area of the display panel, so as to realize that the second output signal terminal provides different driving signals in different display areas in a frame of picture.
[0057] The scan driving circuit of the embodiment of the present disclosure applied to the display panel can provide different driving signals to the dynamic display area and the static display area in a frame of picture of the display panel respectively, so as to reduce the power consumption of the static display area in the related art, and further reduce the power consumption of the display panel.
[0058] Exemplarily, the signal of the first power supply terminal VGL_1 is a low-level signal, and under the control of the trigger signal terminal Vf, the first power supply terminal VGL_1 provides the second signal as a low-level signal to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2, and the second signal can pull down the level of the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 transmitted to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2. The trigger signal terminal Vf controls the first power supply terminal VGL_1 not to provide the second signal to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2, and the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 maintains normal output, so that the level of the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 can be pulled down by the first power supply terminal VGL_1 in the static display area through the control of the trigger signal terminal, and the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 normally outputs to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2 in the dynamic display area, so as to reduce the power consumption.
[0059] Figure 2 The structure diagram of the scan driving circuit of the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3 The structure diagram of the scan driving circuit of the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3As shown, the signal output control module 20 comprises a first control transistor M12 and a second control transistor M13. The gate of the first control transistor M12 is coupled with the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1, the first pole of the first control transistor M12 is coupled with the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1, and the second pole of the first control transistor M12 is coupled with the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2. The second pole of the second control transistor M13 is coupled with the first power supply terminal VGL_1, the gate of the second control transistor M13 is coupled with the trigger signal terminal Vf, and the first pole of the second control transistor M13 is coupled with the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2.
[0060] The signal of the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 is connected with the gate and the first pole of the first control transistor M12, and the signal of the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 is a pulse signal. When the signal of the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 is a first potential, the first control transistor M12 is turned on, and when the signal of the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 is a second potential, the first control transistor M12 is turned off. When the trigger signal terminal Vf is a high-level signal, the second control transistor M13 is turned on, and the first power supply terminal VGL_1 provides a second signal to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2. When the trigger signal terminal Vf is a low-level signal, the second control transistor M13 is turned off, and the first power supply terminal VGL_1 does not provide the second signal to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2.
[0061] The first power supply terminal VGL_1 is a low-level signal. When the trigger signal terminal Vf is a high-level signal, the second control transistor M13 is turned on, and the second signal can pull down the potential of the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2. The gate of the transistor in the display area is a low potential, the transistor is turned off, and the pixel enters a holding state. When the trigger signal terminal Vf is a low-level signal, the second control transistor M13 is turned off, and the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2 maintains the normal potential of the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1, and the display area displays normally.
[0062] Exemplarily, the first control transistor M12 can be a P-type switching transistor, and the second control transistor M13 can be an N-type switching transistor. Alternatively, the first control transistor M12 can be an N-type switching transistor, and the second control transistor M13 can be a P-type switching transistor. The first control transistor M12 and the second control transistor M13 can both be P-type switching transistors or N-type switching transistors.
[0063] Exemplarily, the second control transistor M13 is an N-type switch transistor. When the trigger signal end Vf is a high potential signal, the second control transistor M13 is turned on, and the second output signal end OUTPUT_2 is pulled low to the low level of the first power supply end VGL_1, so that the gate line corresponding to the display area of the display panel is at a low level, and the display panel enters a holding state. When the trigger signal end Vf is a low level signal, the second control transistor M13 is turned off, and the second output signal end OUTPUT_2 normally outputs the signal of the first output signal end OUTPUT_1, and the display area is in a normal refreshable state.
[0064] In an embodiment, the signal of the first power supply end VGL_1 is a constant voltage signal, and the signal of the first output signal end OUTPUT_1 is a pulse signal. The second signal provided by the first power supply end VGL_1 to the second output signal end OUTPUT_2 is a constant voltage signal, and the signal transmitted by the first output signal end OUTPUT_1 to the second output signal end OUTPUT_2 is a pulse signal. The first power supply end VGL_1 can pull the signal of the first output signal end OUTPUT_1 low, so as to realize frequency and row division display for the static display area and the dynamic display area, and reduce power consumption.
[0065] Exemplarily, the signal of the first power supply end VGL_1 is a low level signal. It should be noted that the voltage of the first output signal end OUTPUT_1 is a pulse voltage, the first output signal end OUTPUT_1 includes a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal, the voltage value of the first voltage signal is greater than the voltage value of the second voltage signal, the signal of the first power supply end VGL_1 is a third voltage signal, the voltage value of the third voltage signal can be greater than or equal to the voltage value of the first voltage signal, the direction of the third voltage signal is opposite to the direction of the first voltage signal, and the specific voltage value of the signal of the first power supply end VGL_1 can be set according to actual needs. The first power supply end VGL_1 can pull the level of the second output signal end low, so that the gate of the corresponding display area is at a low level, and the pixel enters a holding state, so that the display area can be kept in a static picture, and power consumption is reduced.
[0066] Reference Figure 2 In an embodiment, the driving signal generation module 10 at least includes a pull-up module 11, an output module 12, a first reset module 13, a pull-down module 14, a noise elimination module 15, a second reset module 16, a reset control module 17, and a frame reset module 18.

Figure 2

The second reset module 16 is configured to provide the signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL_2 to the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 under the control of the pull-down node PD. Figure 2
[0073] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the reset control module 17 is coupled with the pull-down node PD, the fourth power supply terminal VGL_2 and the pull-up node PU, respectively. The reset control module 17 is configured to provide the signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL_2 to the pull-up node PU under the control of the pull-down node PD. Figure 2
[0074] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the reset control module 17 is coupled with the pull-down node PD, the fourth power supply terminal VGL_2 and the pull-up node PU, respectively. The reset control module 17 is configured to provide the signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL_2 to the pull-up node PU under the control of the pull-down node PD. Figure 2 As shown, the frame reset module 18 is coupled to the fourth power terminal VGL_2 and the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 respectively. The third reset module 18 is configured to provide a signal of the fourth power terminal VGL_2 to the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 under the control of the fourth power terminal VGL_2.
[0075] When the scan drive circuit of the disclosed embodiment is applied to a display panel, the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2 can be connected to the gate line so as to provide a gate drive signal to the gate line. In a frame, the scan drive circuit may include a driving phase and a reset phase. In the driving phase, the pull-up module 11, under the control of the input signal terminal INPUT, provides a signal of the second power supply terminal VDD to the pull-up node PU. At this time, the voltage of the pull-up stage PU is identical to the voltage of the second power supply terminal VDD. The output module 12, under the control of the pull-up node PU, provides a signal of the clock signal terminal CLK to the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1. When the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1 provides a signal to the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2, the second output signal terminal OUTPUT_2 provides a gate signal to the gate line, drives the corresponding row pixel display. During the reset phase, the first reset module 13, under the control of the reset signal terminal RST, provides a signal from the third power supply terminal VSS to the pull-up node PU. At this point, the voltage at the pull-up node PU is the same as the voltage at the third power supply terminal VSS. The output module 12 is turned off, and no signal is output from the first output signal terminal OUTPUT_1. The corresponding row of pixels does not display. The second power supply terminal VDD is a high-level signal, and the third power supply terminal VSS is a low-level signal. During the reset phase, the pull-up node PU maintains the signal from the third power supply terminal VSS.
[0076] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the pull-up module 11 may include a first transistor M1. The gate of the first transistor M1 is coupled to the input signal terminal INPUT, the first electrode of the first transistor M1 is coupled to the second power supply terminal VDD, and the second electrode of the first transistor M1 is coupled to the pull-up node PU. Therefore, when the input signal terminal INPUT is a valid level signal, the first transistor M1, under the control of the valid level signal of the input signal terminal INPUT, provides the signal of the second power supply terminal VDD to the pull-up node PU, thereby pulling up the pull-up node PU.
[0077] In one embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the output module 12 can include a third transistor M3 and a storage capacitor C. The gate of the third transistor M3 is coupled with the pull-up node PU, the first pole of the third transistor M3 is coupled with the clock signal end CLK, and the second pole of the third transistor M3 is coupled with the first output signal end OUTPUT_1. The first plate of the storage capacitor C is coupled with the pull-up node PU, and the second plate of the storage capacitor C is coupled with the first output signal end OUTPUT_1. Thus, when the pull-up node PU is the active level signal, the third transistor M3 provides the signal of the clock signal end CLK to the first output signal end OUTPUT_1 under the control of the active level signal of the pull-up node PU, so that the first output signal end OUTPUT_1 outputs the driving signal.
[0078] In an embodiment, the second power supply end VDD can be a high level signal. The third power supply end VSS can be a low level signal, the fourth power supply end VGL_2 can be a low level signal, and the first control power supply end VGH can be a high level signal.
[0079] It should be noted that although the second power supply end VDD is a high level signal and the first control power supply end VGH is a high level signal, it does not mean that the voltage of the second power supply end VDD is the same as the voltage of the first control power supply end VGH. The voltage of the second power supply end VDD can be the same as or different from the voltage of the first control power supply end VGH, and the specific voltage value of the second power supply end VDD and the specific voltage value of the first control power supply end VGH can be set as needed. Similarly, although the fourth power supply end VGL_2 is a low level signal and the third power supply end VSS is a low level signal, it does not mean that the voltage of the fourth power supply end VGL_2 is the same as the voltage of the third power supply end VSS.
