In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , when the n-th level GOA unit controls any two rows of pixel units, the m data signal lines include a first data signal line Data1 and a second data signal line Data2; The first transistor T1 of the pixel unit in the 2n-1th row controlled by the nth-stage GOA unit receives the data signal of the first data signal line Data1, and the second source and drain of the third transistor T3 of the pixel unit in the 2n-1th row is coupled to the second data signal line Data2; The first source and drain of the first transistor T1 of the 2nth pixel unit controlled by the nth-stage GOA unit are coupled to the second data signal line Data2 , and the second source and drain of the third transistor T3 of the 2nth pixel unit are coupled to the first data signal line Data1 .

[0019] In some other specific embodiments, when the n-th level GOA unit is connected to m scanning signal lines Scan, the n-th level GOA unit controls any m rows through the m scanning signal lines Scan; see Figure 2 , when m=2, the nth level GOA unit controls the pixel units of the first row and the pixel units of the third row, and the n+1th level GOA unit controls the pixel units of the second row and the pixel units of the fourth row. When this embodiment is adopted, the control rows selected by each level of GOA unit can be allocated as needed.

[0020] In some specific embodiments, the pixel unit includes a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, a pre-storage capacitor Cs1, a holding capacitor Cs2 and a pixel electrode Clc; The gate of the first transistor T1 is coupled to the scan signal line Scan, the second source and drain of the first transistor T1 are coupled to one end of the pre-storage capacitor Cs1 and the first source and drain of the second transistor T2; the other end of the pre-storage capacitor Cs1 is coupled to the common signal line Com; the gate of the second transistor T2 is coupled to the transfer signal line Tran, the second source and drain of the second transistor T2 are coupled to one end of the pixel electrode Clc and one end of the holding capacitor Cs2; the other end of the pixel electrode Clc and the other end of the holding capacitor Cs2 are coupled to the common signal line Com; the first source and drain of the third transistor T3 are coupled to the second source and drain of the second transistor T2, and the gate of the third transistor T3 is coupled to the reset signal line Reset.

[0021] While working, refer to Figure 3 , in the positive polarity frame, the nth level GOA circuit outputs a driving signal, and the scanning signal lines Scan of the pixel units in the 2n-1th row and the 2nth row receive the driving signal, so that the first transistor T1 of each pixel unit is turned on; at this time, the first data signal line Data1 and the second data signal line Data2 input data signals to the pixel units in the 2n-1th row and the 2nth row, respectively; In the reset phase, the level of the reset signal line Reset jumps to a high level, and the third transistor T3 is turned on. At this time, the second data signal line Data2 inputs the reset signal Vcom+Vop_max, so that the holding capacitor Cs2 and the pixel electrode Clc of the pixel unit in the 2n-1th row and the pixel unit in the 2nth row are reset; therefore, the second data signal line Data2 is multiplexed as a signal line with a reset function, completing the reset of the pixel electrode Clc; After the reset is completed, the level of the transfer signal line Tran jumps to a low level, the second transistors T2 of the pixel units in the 2n-1th row and the 2nth row are turned on, and their respective pre-storage capacitors Cs1 transfer the data signal to the holding capacitor Cs2 and the pixel electrode Clc, so that the pixel electrode point reaches the preset potential.

[0022] In the negative polarity frame, the first data signal line Data1 and the second data signal line Data2 are written with the data signal of the negative polarity frame. In the reset stage, the second data signal line Data2 is input with the second reset signal Vcom-Vop_max. The rest of the process is the same as that in the positive polarity frame.

Example

[0024] See also Figure 4 In some specific embodiments, when the n-th level GOA unit controls any three rows of pixel units, the plurality of data signal lines include a first data signal line Data1, a second data signal line Data2, and a third data signal line Data3; The first transistor T1 of the pixel unit in the 3n-2th row controlled by the GOA unit of the nth stage receives the data signal of the first data signal line Data1, and the second source and drain of the third transistor T3 of the pixel unit in the 3n-2th row is coupled to the third data signal line Data3; The first source and drain of the first transistor T1 of the pixel unit in the 3n-1th row controlled by the GOA unit of the nth stage are coupled to the second data signal line Data2, and the second source and drain of the third transistor T3 of the pixel unit in the 3n-1th row are coupled to the first data signal line Data1; The first transistor T1 of the pixel unit in the 3nth row controlled by the nth-stage GOA unit is coupled to the third data signal line Data3 , and the second source and drain of the third transistor T3 of the pixel unit in the 3nth row is coupled to the third data signal line Data3 .

[0025] When working, in the positive polarity frame, the nth level GOA circuit outputs a driving signal, and the scanning signal lines Scan of the pixel units in the 3n-2th row, the pixel units in the 3n-1th row, and the pixel units in the 3nth row receive the driving signal, so that the first transistor T1 of each pixel unit is turned on; at this time, the first data signal line Data1, the second data signal line Data2, and the third data signal line Data3 input data signals to the pixel units in the 3n-2th row, the pixel units in the 3n-1th row, and the pixel units in the 3nth row, respectively; During the reset phase, the level of the reset signal line Reset jumps to a high level, and the third transistors T3 of the three rows of pixel units are turned on. At this time, the third data signal line Data3 inputs the reset signal Vcom+Vop_max, so that the holding capacitors Cs2 and the pixel electrodes Clc of the pixel units in the 3n-2th row, the 3n-1th row, and the 3nth row are reset; therefore, the third data signal line Data3 completes the reset of the pixel electrode Clc; After the reset is completed, the level of the transfer signal line Tran jumps to a low level, and the second transistors T2 of the pixel units in the 3n-2th row, the 3n-1th row and the 3nth row are respectively turned on, and their respective pre-storage capacitors Cs1 transfer the data signal to the holding capacitor Cs2 and the pixel electrode Clc, so that the pixel electrode point reaches the preset potential.

[0026] In the negative polarity frame, the first data signal line Data1, the second data signal line Data2 and the third data signal line Data3 are written with the data signal of the negative polarity frame. At this time, in the reset stage, the third data signal line Data3 inputs the second reset signal Vcom-Vop_max; the rest of the process is the same as that in the positive polarity frame. In this embodiment, the third data signal line Data3 also outputs a reset signal, and the number of data signal lines Data is increased to improve the refresh rate of the circuit. Example

[0028] The upper and lower mirrored pixel units enable multiple pixel units to share multiple control signal lines, thereby saving multiple signal lines and improving the aperture ratio of the circuit.

[0029] The above embodiments only express preferred implementation modes, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the invention.
