Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of display panels, and in particular to a light-emitting driving circuit and a display panel. Background Art

[0002] The display panel includes a pixel array and a scanning drive circuit and a light-emitting drive circuit for controlling the pixel array. The display panel adopts a row-by-row scanning display mode, wherein the scanning drive circuit is used to generate a scanning signal to turn on each row of pixels in turn, and the light-emitting drive circuit is used to provide a data signal to a row of pixels when it is turned on to realize the display of the pixels. The light-emitting drive circuit includes a plurality of cascaded light-emitting drive units, wherein each level of the light-emitting drive unit is usually mainly composed of a number of transistors and capacitors, and a level signal is output at the output end by inputting a clock signal and a start pulse signal to the light-emitting drive unit.

[0003] In the current light-emitting drive circuit, the process of pulling the output of the circuit from a high level to a low level needs to be performed in a "step" manner, that is, it is completely stepped from a high level to a low level in two steps. This "step" step results in a longer falling time, namely the "falling edge (Tf)", which slows down the turn-on speed of the transistor (TFT) and increases the response time of the circuit.

[0004] Figure 1 FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of a light-emitting driving unit in the prior art. Figure 1 As shown, Chinese patent CN105741749A discloses a light-emitting drive circuit. The reason for the "step" in the circuit is that when the potential of the clock signal c1 changes from high to low, the potential of the gate node N4 of the M2 transistor is pulled down to the same potential as the power supply VEE by the low-level input signal, and M2 is turned on, but is limited by the threshold voltage Vth, and the output voltage Vout-V(N4)=Vth<0; when the potential of c2 needs to change from high to low, and the gate N4 of M2 is pulled down to a value lower than VEE by capacitive coupling and exceeds the Vth value, Vout can be pulled down to the VEE voltage.

[0005] Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of another light-emitting driving unit in the prior art. Figure 2 As shown, U.S. Patent US9548026B2 discloses a light-emitting drive circuit. The reason for the "step" in the circuit is that when the potential of the clock signal CLK1 changes from high to low, the potential of the gate node N1 of the M10 transistor is pulled down to the same potential as the power supply VGL by the low-level input signal, and M10 is turned on, but is limited by the threshold voltage Vth, and the output voltage Vout-V(N1)=Vth<0; when the potential of CLK2 needs to change from high to low, the gate N1 of M10 is pulled down to below VGL by capacitive coupling and exceeds the Vth value, Vout can be pulled down to the VGL voltage.

[0006] This "step" type of step requires two sets of clock signals to pull down the output signal potential respectively. When the potential of one of the clock signals changes from high to low, the output signal En changes from a high level to an intermediate level; when the potential of the next clock signal changes from high to low, the output signal En changes from an intermediate level to a low level. The intermediate level is affected by the threshold voltage of the TFT and is more obviously affected by the fluctuation of the process.

[0007] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0073] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and features in different embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0074] The inventor of this case has provided a solution to the problems existing in the prior art through careful and in-depth research. Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing a display panel of the present invention; Figure 4 A cascade schematic diagram showing a light-emitting drive circuit of the present invention; Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of a light-emitting driving unit of the present invention. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the present invention discloses a light-emitting driving circuit 30 and a display panel 10, wherein the light-emitting driving circuit 30 includes a multi-stage light-emitting driving unit and a timing controller 20. Each stage of the light-emitting driving unit specifically includes 10 transistors, 3 capacitors, a signal input terminal, a signal output terminal and two timing control terminals. The timing controller 20 includes two timing control signal lines. The light-emitting driving circuit and the display panel of the present invention, by providing a new 10T3C light-emitting driving unit circuit, enable the switching between the high and low levels of the output signal to be pulled down without a step-by-step step, thereby avoiding the intermediate voltage from being affected by the transistor threshold voltage or process fluctuation, reducing the falling edge time, accelerating the turn-on speed of the transistor, and reducing the response time of the circuit; in addition, the present invention reduces the number of components of the light-emitting driving circuit by reducing the use of timing control signal lines and transistors, thereby reducing the border width of the display panel and adapting to the trend of narrow borders of the display panel.

[0077] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the present invention further provides a light-emitting driving circuit 30 , which includes a multi-stage light-emitting driving unit and a timing controller 20 .

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the light-emitting driving unit includes 10 transistors, 3 capacitors, a signal input terminal IN, a signal output terminal Eout, a first timing control terminal c1, and a second timing control terminal c2.

The signal output terminal Eout4 of the fourth-stage light-emitting driving unit E4 outputs a light-emitting driving signal as an input signal of the fifth-stage light-emitting driving unit E5, and the signal output terminal Eout4 of the fourth-stage light-emitting driving unit E4 is connected to the signal input terminal IN5 of the fifth-stage light-emitting driving unit E5...

The second timing control terminal c2 is connected to the second timing control signal line CKE2 for receiving the second timing control signal... and so on, it is obtained that: in the odd-numbered light-emitting driving unit, the first timing control terminal c1 is connected to the first timing control signal line CKE1 for receiving the first timing control signal, and the second timing control terminal c2 is connected to the second timing control signal line CKE2 for receiving the second timing control signal.

[0094] In this embodiment, the relationship between the input and output of the light-emitting driving unit is: when the start pulse signal STE or the signal input terminal IN inputs a high-level signal at the beginning of a process, the signal output terminal Eout outputs a high-level signal when the next process starts; when the start pulse signal STE or the signal input terminal IN inputs a low-level signal in a process, the signal output terminal Eout outputs a low-level signal when the current process ends and the next process starts. At other times, the signal output by the signal output terminal Eout and the signal input by the start pulse signal STE or the signal input terminal IN are both low-level signals.

[0095] In this embodiment, the light-emitting driving circuit of the present invention provides a new 10T3C light-emitting driving unit circuit, so that the third node n3 and the fifth node n5 have three states of high potential, intermediate potential and low potential, so that the step-type step-down of switching between high and low levels is completed at the third node n3, thereby making the switching between the high and low levels of the output signal of the signal output terminal Eout without step-type step-down, thereby avoiding the intermediate voltage from being affected by the transistor threshold voltage or process fluctuation, reducing the falling edge time, accelerating the turn-on speed of the transistor, and reducing the response time of the circuit. In addition, the present invention reduces the number of components of the light-emitting driving circuit by reducing the use of the timing control signal line and the transistor, thereby reducing the border width of the display panel and adapting to the trend of narrow borders of the display panel.

[0096] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a display device, including the display panel 10 provided in the embodiment of the present invention. The display device can be any product or component with a display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a monitor, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator, etc. The implementation of the display device can refer to the embodiment of the display panel 10 above, and the repeated technical solutions and technical effects will not be repeated.

[0097] In summary, the light-emitting driving circuit and display panel of the present invention provide a new 10T3C light-emitting driving unit circuit, so that the switching between the high and low levels of the output signal is not step-pull-down, thereby avoiding the intermediate voltage from being affected by the transistor threshold voltage or process fluctuations, reducing the falling edge time, accelerating the turn-on speed of the transistor, and reducing the response time of the circuit; in addition, the present invention reduces the number of components of the light-emitting driving circuit by reducing the use of timing control signal lines and transistors, thereby reducing the border width of the display panel and adapting to the trend of narrow borders of display panels.

[0098] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
