[0003] In the related art, the pixel driving circuit of the OLED display panel is usually an 8T2C circuit. For the pixel driving circuit, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) gate driving circuit (Gate On Array, GOA) is currently proposed to solve the technical problem of high power consumption of the conventional gate driving circuit.

[0004] Since the CMOS GOA circuit needs to generate two gate drive signals, Nout and Pout, the gate drive circuit is provided with two buffer parts corresponding to Nout and Pout respectively. The existing signal generating part is usually arranged close to the frame, and the buffer part is usually arranged close to the display area. The two buffer parts may overlap in the vertical direction. When the longitudinal size of each level of GOA unit is limited, the size of the two buffer parts in the vertical direction will become smaller. In order to ensure the performance of the transistors in Nout and Pout, the size of the buffer part in the horizontal direction needs to be increased. It is necessary to reserve a wider area on the frame of the product to set the gate drive circuit, which is contrary to the narrow frame design of the product. Summary of the invention

[0008] The first output module is disposed on a side of the signal generating module close to the display unit, and the first output module is used to output a first gate driving signal;

[0009] The second output module is arranged at a side of the signal generating module away from the display unit, and the second output module is used to output a second gate driving signal, and the first gate driving signal and the second gate driving signal are different;

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. In the present application, unless otherwise stated, the directional words used, such as "upper" and "lower", generally refer to the upper and lower parts of the device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the drawings; and "inside" and "outside" refer to the outline of the device.

[0035] In the relevant OLED display panel, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor gate drive circuit is usually used to solve the technical problem of high power consumption of the conventional gate drive circuit. Since the CMOS GOA circuit needs to generate two gate drive signals, Nout and Pout, the gate drive circuit is provided with two buffer parts corresponding to Nout and Pout respectively, and the existing signal generation part is usually set close to the frame, and the buffer part is usually set close to the display area, resulting in a wider area reserved on the frame of the product to set the buffer part, which is contrary to the narrow frame design of the product. Based on the above technical problems, this application proposes the following solution.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 21 The present application provides a display panel 100, which may include a display portion 200 and a gate driving circuit 300 located on one side of the display portion 200, wherein the gate driving circuit 300 includes N cascaded GOA units 310, and the N GOA units 310 are arranged along a first direction X.

[0037] In this embodiment, each GOA unit 310 includes a signal generating module 10, a first output module 20 and a second output module 30 arranged along the second direction Y; the first output module 20 is arranged on a side of the signal generating module 10 close to the display unit 200, and the first output module 20 is used to output a first gate driving signal; the second output module 30 is arranged on a side of the signal generating module 10 away from the display unit 200, and the second output module 30 is used to output a second gate driving signal, and the first gate driving signal and the second gate driving signal are different.

[0038] In this embodiment, in the second direction Y, the lengths of the first output module 20 and the second output module 30 are different. The second direction Y is parallel to the scan line of the display panel 100 . The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular. N is a positive integer.

[0039] In this embodiment, the angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°; see Figure 2 , the second direction Y can be perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0040] The present application arranges two output modules that output different gate drive signals and have different lengths on both sides of the signal generating module 10, so that the two output modules have sufficient width in the first direction X, thereby ensuring the performance of the transistors in the two output modules, avoiding the technical problem of increasing the border due to stacking the two output modules on the same side, and realizing a narrow border design.

[0041] It should be noted that the first gate drive signal is a positive pulse signal, and the second gate drive signal is a negative pulse signal; and, within a frame time interval, the first signal output terminal Nout outputs two positive pulse signals, and the second signal output terminal Pout outputs one negative pulse signal; at the same time, the pulse width of a positive pulse signal is greater than the pulse width of a negative pulse signal.

[0042] Since the CMOS GOA circuit of the present application needs to output a first gate drive signal and a second gate drive signal, and the pulse width of the first gate drive signal is larger than the pulse width of the second gate drive signal, that is, the output load of the first output module 20 is larger than the output load of the second output module 30; therefore, in the present application, the width of the first output module 20 can be larger than the width of the second output module 30, so that the first output module 20 has a larger buffer space and a larger output load capacity.

[0043] It should be noted that since low-temperature polysilicon semiconductors have a larger leakage current and metal oxide transistors have a smaller leakage current, in order to reduce the leakage current of the first output module 20, the present application may set the transistors in the first output module 20 to a combination of low-temperature polysilicon transistors and metal oxide transistors.

[0044] See also Figure 2 The first output module 20 may include a first buffer unit 210 and a second buffer unit 220 arranged along the second direction Y, the first buffer unit 210 is arranged close to the signal generating module 10, and the second buffer unit 220 is arranged away from the signal generating module 10; the first buffer unit 210 includes a first output transistor T10, the first output transistor T10 includes a first active part T10A, the second buffer unit 220 includes a second output transistor T9, the second output transistor T9 includes a second active part T9A, the first active part T10A is a metal oxide semiconductor, and the second active part T9A is a low-temperature polysilicon semiconductor.

[0045] The present application configures the first output module 20 to be a combination of a low-temperature polysilicon transistor and a metal oxide transistor, and utilizes the high mobility of the low-temperature polysilicon transistor and the low leakage current of the metal oxide transistor to improve the device effect of the first output module 20 .

[0046] In the present embodiment, since the display area AA is also provided with a metal oxide semiconductor, that is, the metal oxide semiconductors in the non-display area NA and the display area AA can be formed in the same photomask process, and since the patterning densities of the metal oxide semiconductors in the non-display area NA and the display area AA are different, if the first output transistor T10 is disposed adjacent to the display area AA, the patterning density of the metal oxide semiconductor in the first output transistor T10 may deviate from the design value.

[0047] In the present application, the first output transistor T10 having a metal oxide semiconductor is arranged away from the display area AA, and the second output transistor T9 having a low-temperature polysilicon semiconductor is arranged close to the display area AA, so that the pattern of the metal oxide semiconductor of the first output transistor T10 is arranged away from the pattern of the metal oxide semiconductor in the display area AA, thereby avoiding the deviation of the spacing of the pattern of the metal oxide semiconductor in the non-display area NA from the design value due to the adjacent arrangement of the patterned metal oxide semiconductors in the display area AA and the non-display area NA.

[0048] See also Figure 2 , in the second direction Y, the length of the first output transistor T10 may be greater than the length of the second output transistor T9.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first output transistor T10 is a metal oxide transistor. Although the metal oxide transistor has a smaller leakage current, the mobility of the metal oxide transistor is relatively low. Therefore, in order to improve the driving capability of the first output transistor T10, the present application increases the length of the first output transistor T10 in the second direction Y as much as possible within a limited space to improve the driving capability of the first output transistor T10.

[0050] In the display panel 100 of the present application, the second output module 30 includes a third output transistor T6 and a fourth output transistor T7, the third output transistor T6 includes a third active portion T6A, the fourth output transistor T7 includes a fourth active portion T7A, the third active portion T6A and the fourth active portion T7A are low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductors, and the third output transistor T6 and the fourth output transistor T7 are arranged in parallel along the first direction X.

[0051] In this embodiment, since the third output transistor T6 and the fourth output transistor T7 in the second output module 30 are both low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductors with relatively high mobility, the transistors in the second output module 30 do not need to increase their length in the second direction Y to improve the driving capability of the third output transistor T6 and the fourth output transistor; at the same time, the second gate drive signal output by the second output module 30 is a negative pulse signal, and the pulse width of the negative pulse signal is smaller than the pulse width of the positive pulse signal output by the first output module 20, so the output load of the second output module 30 is lower than the output load of the first output module 20, and therefore the length of the first output module 20 in the second direction Y of the present application is smaller than the length of the second output module 30 in the second direction Y.

[0052] The technical solution of the present application is now described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0053] See also Figure 1 The display panel 100 includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA disposed adjacent to the display area AA, and a display unit 200 is disposed in the display area AA. Optionally, the non-display area NA surrounds the display area AA, so that the display area AA is surrounded by the non-display area NA. The display area AA is an area in the display panel 100 for performing a display function, and a plurality of display units for realizing the display function are disposed therein. The non-display area NA may be a frame area of ​​the display panel 100, and a functional component that assists the display unit in the display area AA to perform display may be disposed therein.

For example, the binding terminal 400 can be bound and connected to a chip or a flip chip film, etc., to provide power and driving signals for the display panel 100.

The sub-pixel circuits may be pixel driving circuits such as 7T1C, 7T2C, and 8T2C, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0079] The gate driving circuit 300 provided in this embodiment can stabilize or reduce the gate potential of the first output transistor T10 through the first low potential line Nvgl1 under the control of the third node P, so that the first output transistor T10 is stabilized or better in the cut-off state to reduce the leakage current, and then the potential of the first gate driving signal can be maintained at a high potential or pulse amplitude, thereby improving the potential stability of the gate driving signal.

[0103] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a film layer diagram of the first gate layer 125 in the display panel 100 of the present application.

[0104] In this embodiment, the first gate layer 125 may include a second gate T9G and a third gate T6G; in the second direction Y, the length of the second gate T9G is greater than the length of the third gate T6G, and the area of ​​the second gate T9G is greater than the area of ​​the third gate T6G.

[0105] In this embodiment, since the second output transistor T9 is used to output the first gate drive signal and the third output transistor T6 is used to output the second gate drive signal, and since the load of the first gate drive signal is greater than the load of the second gate drive signal, in order to increase the output load of the first output module 20, the present application makes the area of ​​the second gate T9G greater than the area of ​​the third gate T6G.

[0106] See also Figure 7 The second gate T9G may include a second trunk gate T9Ga and a plurality of second branch gates T9Gb arranged at intervals, the second trunk gate T9Ga extends along the first direction X, the second branch gates T9Gb extend along the second direction Y, and the plurality of second branch gates T9Gb are electrically connected to the second trunk gate T9Ga at one end facing the signal generating module 10; for example, the second gate T9G may include one second trunk gate T9Ga and four second branch gates T9Gb.

[0107] See also Figure 7 The third gate T6G may include a third trunk gate T6Ga and a plurality of third branch gates T6Gb arranged at intervals, the third trunk gate T6Ga extends along the first direction X, the third branch gates T6Gb extend along the second direction Y, and the plurality of third branch gates T6Gb are electrically connected to the third trunk gate T6Ga at one end facing the signal generating module 10; for example, the third gate T6G includes one third trunk gate T6Ga and three third branch gates T6Gb.

[0108] In this embodiment, the length and number of the strip branch gates in the second direction Y are positively correlated with the output load of the output transistor. Therefore, in order to improve the driving capability of the second gate T9G and the third gate T6G, the present application sets the second gate T9G and the third gate T6G into a plurality of separately arranged strip branch gates, each strip branch gate bears the load of the corresponding transistor, the strip branch electrode corresponds to the channel of the active part in the corresponding transistor, and the space between two adjacent strip branch gates corresponds to the source and drain of the upper layer. The composite electric field formed by the plurality of separately arranged strip branch gates can improve the driving capability of the transistor.

[0109] In this embodiment, in the first direction X, a distance between two adjacent second branch gates T9Gb and a distance between two adjacent third branch gates T6Gb may be equal.

[0110] See also Figure 7 The first gate layer 125 further includes a fourth gate T7G, which extends along the second direction Y. The fourth gate T7G and a plurality of third branch gates T6Gb in the third gate T6G are arranged in parallel and at intervals.

[0111] In this embodiment, since the third output transistor T6 is connected to the first clock signal line CK, the load it needs to bear is relatively large. Therefore, the present application sets the third gate T6G with three strip-shaped branch gates, while the fourth gate T7G is not connected to the corresponding clock signal line. The load that the fourth output transistor T7 needs to bear is relatively small, so the fourth gate T7G is only set with one strip-shaped branch gate.

[0112] In this embodiment, in the first direction X, the spacing between the fourth gate T7G and the adjacent third branch gate T6Gb may be equal to the spacing between two adjacent third branch gates T6Gb; that is, the spacing between two adjacent second branch gates T9Gb, the spacing between two adjacent third branch gates T6Gb, and the spacing between the fourth gate T7G and the adjacent third branch gate T6Gb are all equal, that is, the spacing between the strip-shaped branch electrodes is equal, which reduces the difficulty of patterning.

[0113] See also Figure 7 The first gate layer 125 further includes a first electrode plate C1a, and one end of the plurality of third branch gates T6Gb away from the signal generating module 10 is connected to the first electrode plate C1a. For example, the first electrode plate C1a is connected to three third branch gates T6Gb, and the three third branch gates T6Gb transmit voltage signals to different positions of the first electrode plate C1a, so that any area of ​​the first electrode plate C1a can simultaneously receive the voltage signals transmitted by the three third branch gates T6Gb.

[0114] See also Figure 7 , in the second direction Y, the width of the first electrode plate C1a is greater than the width of the third main grid T6Ga. Since the capacitance of the storage capacitor is positively correlated with the facing panel of the electrode plate in the storage capacitor, the present application can make the width of the first electrode plate C1a greater than the width of the third main grid T6Ga in a limited space, thereby increasing the area of ​​the first electrode plate C1a, thereby increasing the facing area between the two electrodes, and increasing the capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1.

[0115] See also Figure 7The first gate layer 125 also includes a gate T2G of the pull-up transistor T2, a gate T3G of the first inverting transistor T3, a gate T4G of the first feedback transistor T4, a gate T5G of the second feedback transistor T5, a gate T8G of the second filter transistor T8, a gate T11G of the first filter transistor T11, a gate T12G of the second stage pass transistor T12, and a third plate C2a of the second storage capacitor C2.

[0117] In this embodiment, the gate T4G of the first feedback transistor T4, the gate T5G of the second feedback transistor T5, and the gate T8G of the second filtering transistor T8 extend along the first direction X, and the three are arranged close to the second output module 30, the gate T4G of the first feedback transistor T4 and the gate T5G of the second feedback transistor T5 are arranged in parallel along the second direction Y, and the gate T4G of the first feedback transistor T4 is arranged away from the fourth gate T7G, the gate T5G of the second feedback transistor T5 is arranged close to the fourth gate T7G, the gate T5G of the second feedback transistor T5 and the gate T8G of the second filtering transistor T8 are arranged along the first direction X, and the gate T5G of the second feedback transistor T5 and the fourth gate T7G of the fourth output transistor T7 are directly connected in the extension section in the second direction Y.

[0118] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a film layer diagram of the second gate layer 127 in the display panel 100 of the present application.

[0119] The second gate layer 127 may include a first gate T10G, the first gate T10G includes two first trunk gates T10Ga and a plurality of first branch gates T10Gb disposed between the two first trunk gates T10Ga, the two first trunk gates T10Ga are disposed oppositely and in parallel, the two first trunk gates T10Ga extend along a first direction X, the plurality of first branch gates T10Gb extend along a second direction Y, and both ends of the plurality of first branch gates T10Gb are respectively connected to the two first trunk gates T10Ga. For example, the first gate T10G includes two first trunk gates T10Ga and four first branch gates T10Gb, and both ends of the four first branch gates T10Gb are respectively connected to the two first trunk gates T10Ga.

[0120] In this embodiment, the length of the first branch gate T10Gb is greater than the length of the second branch gate T9Gb in the second direction Y. Since the first output transistor T10 is a metal oxide semiconductor transistor, and its mobility is relatively low, in order to improve the driving capability of the first output transistor T10, the present application increases the length of the first branch gate T10Gb, which is equivalent to increasing the width of the channel in the first active portion T10A, thereby improving the electron mobility in the first output transistor T10 and ensuring the driving capability of the first output transistor T10.

[0121] See also Figure 8 , the second gate layer 127 also includes the second plate C1b of the first storage capacitor C1, the first plate C1a and the second plate C1b are arranged oppositely and in parallel, and the orthographic projection of the first plate C1a on the second plate C1b is located inside the second plate C1b. Since the capacitance of the storage capacitor is positively correlated with the facing panel of the plate in the storage capacitor, the present application can make the orthographic projection of the first plate C1a on the second plate C1b located inside the second plate C1b in a limited space, that is, the area of ​​the first plate C1a is less than or equal to the area of ​​the second plate C1b. In this embodiment, the area of ​​the first plate C1a is less than the area of ​​the second plate C1b, that is, the area of ​​the second plate C1b is increased as much as possible to increase the facing area between the two plates, increase the capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1, and improve the output stability of the first signal output terminal Nout.

[0122] In this embodiment, the second gate layer 127 also includes a first gate T1G of the second inverting transistor T1, a first gate T131G of the first-stage pass transistor T13, a first gate T14G of the regulating transistor T14, and a fourth plate C2b of the second storage capacitor C2; the first gate T1G of the second inverting transistor T1, the first gate T13G of the first-stage pass transistor T13, and the fourth plate C2b of the second storage capacitor C2 extend along the second direction Y, and the first gate T14G of the regulating transistor T14 extends along the first direction X.

In this embodiment, the area of ​​the third electrode plate C2a is smaller than the area of ​​the fourth electrode plate C2b, that is, the area of ​​the fourth electrode plate C2b is increased as much as possible to increase the facing area between the two electrodes, increase the capacitance of the second storage capacitor C2, and improve the stability of the voltage in the fifth node W.

[0125] In this embodiment, the capacitance of the second storage capacitor C2 needs to be greater than 50F.

[0126] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the first electrode plate C1a is greater than the area of ​​the third electrode plate C2a, and the area of ​​the third electrode plate is greater than the area of ​​the fourth electrode plate C2b, and the ratio of the capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1 to the capacitance of the second storage capacitor C2 is greater than 2; since the first electrode plate C1a in the first storage capacitor C1 is connected to the third gate T6G of the third output transistor T6, the second electrode plate C1b in the first storage capacitor C1 is connected to the third drain T6D of the third output transistor T6, and the third source T6S of the third output transistor T6 is connected to the first clock signal line CK, the output signal of the clock signal line at different times will flip, which will affect the stability of the output signal of the second signal output terminal Pout connected to the third drain T6D of the third output transistor T6, so the present application ensures the output stability of the first signal output terminal Nout by increasing the capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1.

For example, the fifth gate T10H may include two fifth trunk gates T10Ha and four fifth branch gates T10Hb, and the two ends of the four fifth branch gates T10Hb are connected to the two fifth trunk gates T10Ha.

[0131] In this embodiment, in the second direction Y, the length of the first branch gate T10Gb is equal to the length of the fifth branch gate T10Hb, and both the first branch gate T10Gb and the fifth branch gate T10Hb bear the output load of the first output transistor T10; at the same time, since the fifth branch gate T10Hb is required as a shielding layer to ion-dope the first active portion T10A, the length of the channel in the first active portion T10A in the first direction X is equal to the length of the fifth branch gate T10Hb in the fifth gate T10H in the first direction X, and In order to ensure that external light enters the first active portion T10A, the present application makes the orthographic projection of the fifth branch gate T10Hb on the corresponding first branch gate T10Gb located within the corresponding first branch gate T10Gb, that is, the area of ​​the first branch gate T10Gb is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the fifth branch gate T10Hb. In this embodiment, the area of ​​the first branch gate T10Gb can be greater than the area of ​​the fifth branch gate T10Hb, or the distance between two adjacent first branch gates T10Gb can be less than the distance between two adjacent fifth branch gates T10Hb.

[0132] In this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent first branch gates T10Gb may be smaller than the distance between two adjacent second branch gates T9Gb in the second output transistor T9, and the distance between two adjacent second branch gates T9Gb may be smaller than the distance between two adjacent fifth branch gates T10Hb.

[0134] Since the second inverting transistor T1, the first stage pass transistor T13 and the regulating transistor T14 are all metal oxide semiconductor transistors, in order to improve the driving capabilities of the second inverting transistor T1, the first stage pass transistor T13 and the regulating transistor T14, the second inverting transistor T1, the first stage pass transistor T13 and the regulating transistor T14 can all be double-gate transistors. That is, the third gate layer 131 can also include the second gate T1H of the second inverting transistor T1, the second gate T13H of the first stage pass transistor T13 and the second gate T14H of the regulating transistor T14, the second gate T1H of the second inverting transistor T1 and the second gate T13H of the first stage pass transistor T13 extend along the second direction Y, and the second gate T14H of the regulating transistor T14 extends along the first direction X.

[0136] See also Fig.12 and Fig.13 , Fig.12 is a film layer diagram of the first active layer 123 in the display panel 100 of the present application, Fig.13 It is a film layer diagram of the first gate layer 125 , the second gate layer 127 , the third gate layer 131 , the first active layer 123 and the second active layer 129 in the display panel 100 of the present application.

[0137] The array driving layer 120 also includes a first active layer 123 arranged between the first gate layer 125 and the base substrate 110, and the first active layer 123 includes a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductor; the first active layer 123 includes a second active portion T9A and a third active portion T6A, the second active portion T9A and a plurality of second branch gates T9Gb overlap, and the third active portion T6A and a plurality of third branch gates T6Gb overlap.

[0138] In this embodiment, the second output transistor T9 and the third output transistor T6 are top-gate transistors, the second gate T9G can be used as a shielding layer of the second active portion T9A to perform ion doping on the second active portion T9A, and the third gate T6G can be used as a shielding layer of the third active portion T6A to perform ion doping on the third active portion T6A; therefore, the portion of the active portion that overlaps with the corresponding branch gate is the channel portion, and the non-overlapping portion of the active portion is the source connection portion and the drain connection portion on both sides of the channel portion; for example Fig.14 In the structure, the second active portion T9A overlaps with four second branch gates T9Gb, the third active portion T6A overlaps with three third branch gates T6Gb, the second active portion T9A has four channel portions, and the third active portion T6A has three channel portions.

[0139] In this embodiment, since the lengths of the second branch gate T9Gb and the third branch gate T6Gb in the second direction Y are long enough, in order to increase the width of the channel in the active portion, the size of the second active portion T9A and the third active portion T6A in the second direction Y is increased as much as possible. However, when the size of the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductor in the second direction Y is too large, static electricity will be concentrated in the active portion, which may cause the active portion to be damaged by static electricity. Therefore, the second active portion T9A and the third active portion T6A can be arranged as two sub-active portions that are separately arranged.

[0140] See also Fig.12 and Fig.13 The second active portion T9A may include two second sub-active portions T9Aa disposed at intervals, the third active portion T6A includes two third sub-active portions T6Aa disposed at intervals, and the second sub-active portion T9Aa and the third sub-active portion T6Aa extend along the first direction X. The two second sub-active portions T9Aa disposed separately and the two third sub-active portions T6Aa disposed separately reduce the sizes of the second active portion T9A and the third active portion T6A in the third direction, and avoid the technical problem of static electricity concentration in the active portion.

[0141] In this embodiment, the width of the second sub-active portion T9Aa is greater than the width of the third sub-active portion T6Aa in the second direction Y. Since the output load of the second output transistor T9 is greater than the output load of the third output transistor T6, the present application increases the width of the second sub-active portion T9Aa to increase the second output load.

[0142] It should be noted that the width of the second sub-active portion T9Aa and the width of the third sub-active portion T6Aa are width dimensions of the corresponding sub-active portions in the second direction Y.

[0143] See also Fig.12 and Fig.13 The first active layer 123 also includes a fourth active portion T7A, the fourth active portion T7A includes two fourth sub-active portions T7Aa arranged at intervals, the two fourth sub-active portions T7Aa overlap with the fourth gate T7G, and the fourth sub-active portion T7Aa is connected to the corresponding third sub-active portion T6Aa; for example, one fourth active portion T7A overlaps with one fourth gate T7G, and the fourth active portion T7A has one channel.

[0144] In the present embodiment, in the second direction Y, the width of the fourth sub-active portion T7Aa may be equal to the width of the third sub-active portion T6Aa.

[0145] In this embodiment, in order to simplify the process, the pattern of the third active part T6A can be connected to the pattern of the fourth active part T7A, which increases the pattern area of ​​the active part in the second output module 30, reduces the film forming accuracy of the active part in this area, and simplifies the film forming process.

[0146] exist Fig.13 In the structure, the first active layer 123 also includes an active portion T2A of the pull-up transistor T2, an active portion T3A of the first inverting transistor T3, an active portion T4A of the first feedback transistor T4, an active portion T5A of the second feedback transistor T5, an active portion T8A of the second filter transistor T8, an active portion T11A of the first filter transistor T11, and an active portion T12A of the second stage pass transistor T12.

[0148] In this embodiment, the array driving layer 120 also includes a second active layer 129 arranged between the third gate layer 131 and the second gate layer 127, and the second active layer 129 includes a metal oxide semiconductor; the second active layer 129 includes a first active portion T10A, and the first active portion T10A includes two first sub-active portions T10Aa arranged at intervals, and the first sub-active portion T10Aa extends along the first direction X, and the two first sub-active portions T10Aa and multiple first branch gates T10Gb overlap.

[0149] In this embodiment, since the first output transistor T10 is a dual-gate transistor, the first gate T10G and the fifth gate T10H of the first output transistor T10 can both serve as switches of the first output transistor T10; at the same time, the fifth gate T10H can serve as a shielding layer of the first active portion T10A to perform ion doping on the first active portion T10A; therefore, the portion of the first active portion T10A that overlaps with the plurality of first branch gates T10Gb is the channel portion of the first active portion T10A, and the portion of the first active portion T10A that does not overlap with the plurality of first branch gates T10Gb is the source connection portion and the drain connection portion on both sides of the channel portion; for example Fig.13 and Fig.14 In the structure, the first active portion T10A and the four first branch gates T10Gb overlap, and the first active portion T10A has four channel portions.

[0150] In this embodiment, since the first output transistor T10 is a metal oxide semiconductor transistor, this type of transistor has the advantage of low leakage current, but its mobility is relatively small. Therefore, in order to improve the mobility of the first output transistor T10, it is necessary to increase the width of the channel portion in the first active portion T10A, which is equivalent to the width of the first sub-active portion T10Aa in the second direction Y. Therefore, in the second direction Y, the width of the first sub-active portion T10Aa is greater than the width of the second sub-active portion T9Aa.

[0151] In addition, when the width of the first active portion T10A in the second direction Y is too large, static electricity will be concentrated on the first active portion T10A, which may cause the first active portion T10A to be damaged by static electricity. Therefore, the present application can set the first active portion T10A into two first sub-active portions T10Aa that are separately set.
