Description

[0002] GOA (Gate On Array, array substrate row drive) technology refers to a driving method for realizing row-by-row scanning of the gate by making the gate row scanning drive signal on the array substrate. Since the GOA technology can omit the gate drive chip and the circuit board, save the space of the gate drive chip and the circuit board, and can realize a narrow frame, the GOA technology is widely used in display panels. In the existing gate drive circuit, a pull-down maintenance module is used to maintain the pull-down state of the output end and the node of the gate drive circuit, and in order to increase the pull-down speed of the pull-down maintenance module, the channel width of the transistor in the pull-down maintenance module is increased, but in actual use, it is found that due to the large channel width of the transistor of the pull-down maintenance module, the leakage of the transistor of the pull-down maintenance module is more serious. When the node in the gate drive circuit outputs a high potential, due to the influence of leakage, the node of the gate drive circuit cannot maintain a high potential, resulting in the gate drive circuit being unable to output the scan signal normally, thereby causing display abnormality. Reducing the channel width of the transistor of the pull-down maintenance module will result in a poor pull-down maintenance effect of the pull-down maintenance module.

[0003] Therefore, the existing gate driving circuit has a technical problem that the pull-down maintenance module cannot take into account both low leakage and low potential maintenance capabilities. Summary of the invention

[0030] 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, rather than 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.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", and "electrically connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or can communicate with each other; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] In order to illustrate the principle of the technical problem of the present application, a comparative display device is provided. It is understandable that the comparative display device cannot be used as the prior art in the embodiments of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, a gate driving circuit in a comparative display device includes a first transistor T11a, a second transistor T21a, a third transistor T32a, a fourth transistor T42a and a capacitor Cba, the gate of the first transistor T11a and the first electrode of the first transistor T11a are connected to the output terminal G(N-1)a of the previous stage gate driving circuit, the second electrode of the first transistor T11a, the gate of the second transistor T21a, one plate of the capacitor Cba and the second electrode of the fourth transistor T42a are connected to the first point Qa, the first electrode of the second transistor T21a is connected to the clock line CKa, the second electrode of the second transistor T21a, the other plate of the capacitor Cba and the second electrode of the third transistor T32a are connected to the output terminal G(N)a of the current stage gate driving circuit, the gate of the third transistor T32a and the gate of the fourth transistor T42a are connected to the second point Ka or the third point Pa, and the first electrode of the third transistor T32a and the first electrode of the fourth transistor T42a are connected to the low potential line VSSa. The third transistor T32a is used to maintain the output terminal G(N)a at a low potential, and the fourth transistor T42a is used to maintain the first point Qa at a low potential. By testing the gate drive circuit, it is found that the larger the channel width of the third transistor T32a and the fourth transistor T42a, the better their ability to maintain a low potential.

[0033] At the same time, in order to realize the touch function, the comparative display device divides a frame into a display time period D and a touch time period T, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2(a) is a schematic diagram of the time division of a frame when there is no touch. Figure 2 As can be seen from (a) in the figure, a frame can be divided into a display time period D and a blank time period B. Figure 2 (b) is a schematic diagram of time division of a frame when there is touch control. Figure 2 As can be seen from (b) in the figure, touch control is performed during the blank time period B of a frame. This solution is relatively Figure 2 (a) in the above equation can be considered as simply extending the blank time period B. Figure 2 (c) in FIG. 1 is another time division diagram of a frame when there is touch control. Figure 2 As can be seen in (c), a frame is divided into multiple display time periods D and multiple touch time periods T, and different touch electrodes are scanned in different time periods, so as to realize multiple reporting points in one frame and realize high-frequency touch.

[0034] In comparison, the display device uses Figure 2 In the touch mode (c) in FIG. 1 , it can be seen that there is a long touch time period between adjacent display time periods. At this time, the gate drive circuit needs to be suspended. During this time, the potential of the first point Qa needs to be maintained at a high potential. However, in actual use, it is found that the first point Qa cannot maintain a high potential in a high temperature environment. Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that in the touch time period T, the potential of the first point Qa should be maintained at a high potential, but in fact it cannot be maintained at a high potential, resulting in an abnormal signal output to the scan line Gate, resulting in abnormal display. By testing the gate drive circuit, it was found that this was due to the large channel width of the second transistor T21a, the third transistor T32a and the fourth transistor T42a, resulting in serious leakage. Therefore, the existing gate drive circuit has a technical problem that the pull-down maintenance module cannot take into account both low leakage and low potential maintenance capabilities.

[0037] like Figures 4 to 15As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, the display panel 1 includes a plurality of cascaded gate drive circuits 21, each of the gate drive circuits 21 includes a pull-up module 211, a pull-down maintenance module 212 and an inversion module 213, the pull-up module 211 is electrically connected to a first node Q, and the pull-up module 211 is configured to connect a clock signal line CK with a signal output terminal G(N) of the gate drive circuit 21 at this stage according to the potential of the first node Q, or disconnect the clock signal line CK from the signal output terminal G(N). The pull-down maintaining module 212 is electrically connected to the first node Q and the low potential power supply terminal VSS; one end of the inverting module 213 is electrically connected to the first node Q, and the other end of the inverting module 213 is connected to the pull-down maintaining module 212 at a second node K, and the inverting module 213 is configured to control the pull-down maintaining module 212 to connect the low potential power supply terminal VSS and the first node Q, or disconnect the electrical connection between the low potential power supply terminal VSS and the first node Q according to the potential of the first node Q;

[0038] The gate drive circuit 21 further includes a pull-down capacitor 214, at least one of the first node Q and the second node K is electrically connected to a first plate of the pull-down capacitor 214, and a second plate of the pull-down capacitor 214 is electrically connected to the low potential power supply terminal VSS.

[0039] An embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, which includes a gate driving circuit. By setting a pull-down capacitor in the gate driving circuit, at least one of the first node Q and the second node K is electrically connected to the first plate of the pull-down capacitor, and the second plate of the pull-down capacitor is electrically connected to the low potential power supply terminal. By setting a pull-down capacitor between at least one of the first node Q and the second node K and the low potential power supply terminal, the ability to maintain the first node Q and / or the second node K at a low potential can be improved by the pull-down capacitor, and the ability to maintain other nodes and the signal output terminal at a low potential is improved, the pull-down speed is improved, and the ability to maintain a low potential is improved. Since the pull-down capacitor increases the pull-down maintenance capability, the channel width of the transistors in the pull-down maintenance module and the inversion module can be appropriately reduced, thereby reducing leakage, thereby taking into account the low leakage and low potential maintenance capabilities of the gate driving circuit.

[0040] Specifically, it can be understood that, due to the overlap between the gate and the source (or drain) in each transistor, a capacitor will be formed between the two. The embodiment of the present application has been found through testing that when the channel width of the transistor in the pull-down maintenance module is larger, the leakage in a high temperature environment is more serious, and when the capacitance formed by the gate and the source (or drain) of the transistor in the pull-down maintenance module is smaller, the leakage in a high temperature environment is more serious, and it is found that the smaller the proportion of the capacitance formed by the gate and the source of the transistor in the pull-up module to the total capacitance (the sum of the capacitances in the circuit), the smaller the leakage. Therefore, it can be known that increasing the channel width of the transistor in the pull-down maintenance module can improve the ability to resist positive bias and speed up the pull-down speed, but it will cause serious leakage, increasing the capacitance formed by the gate and the source of the transistor in the pull-down maintenance module can reduce leakage, and reducing the proportion of the capacitance formed by the gate and the source of the transistor in the pull-up module to the total capacitance (the sum of the capacitances in the circuit) can reduce leakage. However, in the related art, since each transistor is independently provided, reducing the channel width of each transistor will cause the capacitance between its gate and source to decrease. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, at least one pull-down capacitor is provided to separate the pull-down capacitor from the capacitance formed by the gate and source of the transistor, so that the capacitance of the pull-down capacitor and the channel width of the transistor can be designed independently, so that the pull-down speed can be accelerated and the low potential performance can be maintained through the pull-down capacitor, and the leakage can be reduced by regulating the channel width of the transistor, thereby taking into account the low leakage and low potential maintenance capabilities of the gate drive circuit.

[0041] Specifically, it can be understood that the pull-down capacitor added in the embodiment of the present application and the capacitance formed by the gate and source of each transistor can be regarded as connected in series. When the two are regarded as a whole, it is equivalent to increasing the capacitance formed by the gate and source of the transistor. Moreover, since the size of the pull-down capacitor can be adjusted, it is equivalent to realizing the separation design of the capacitance formed by the gate and source of the transistor and the channel width of the transistor. The two can be designed independently, thereby taking into account a relatively small channel width and a relatively large capacitance, thereby taking into account the low leakage and low potential maintenance capabilities of the gate drive circuit.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the non-display area 102 can be arranged around the display area 101, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. The non-display area 102 can be arranged on two sides or three sides of the display area 101, and the non-display area 102 can be bent to the back side of the display panel. The non-display area 102 may include a gate drive circuit area 102a located on both sides of the display area 101, and the gate drive circuit can be arranged in the gate drive circuit setting area, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this, and the gate drive circuit area can be arranged on one side of the display area. Accordingly, the gate drive circuit is arranged on one side of the display area.

[0043] Specifically, the non-display area 102 may further include a binding area (not shown).

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the first plate of the pull-down capacitor 214 is electrically connected to the second node K, and the second plate of the pull-down capacitor 214 is electrically connected to the low potential power supply terminal VSS. By electrically connecting the first plate of the pull-down capacitor to the second node K, and the second plate of the pull-down capacitor to the low potential power supply terminal, the pull-down speed of the first node Q and the signal output terminal can be accelerated through the pull-down capacitor, and the channel width of the transistor in the pull-down maintenance module can be reduced accordingly, reducing the risk of leakage, and improving the high potential stability of the first node Q and the signal output terminal.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the first plate of the pull-down capacitor 214 is electrically connected to the first node Q, and the second plate of the pull-down capacitor 214 is electrically connected to the low potential power supply terminal VSS. By electrically connecting the first plate of the pull-down capacitor to the first node Q, and the second plate of the pull-down capacitor to the low potential power supply terminal, the pull-down speed of the second node K and the third node can be accelerated through the pull-down capacitor, and the channel width of the transistor in the inverting module can be reduced accordingly, thereby improving the high potential stability of the second node K and the third node.

[0046] Specifically, considering that the inverting module will be connected to the pull-down maintaining module, the stability of the inverting module will directly affect the stability of the pull-down maintaining module, thereby indirectly affecting the display effect. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application electrically connects the first plate of the pull-down capacitor to the first node Q, and the second plate of the pull-down capacitor to the low potential power supply terminal, so that the pull-down speed of the second node K and the third node can be accelerated through the pull-down capacitor, thereby improving the ability of the inverting module to maintain a low potential, and correspondingly can reduce the channel width of the transistor in the inverting module, reduce leakage, and avoid display abnormalities.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, the pull-down capacitor 214 includes a first sub-capacitor Cqt and a second sub-capacitor Ckt, the first plate of the first sub-capacitor Cqt is electrically connected to the first node Q, the second plate of the first sub-capacitor Cqt is electrically connected to the low potential power supply terminal VSS, the first plate of the second sub-capacitor Ckt is electrically connected to the second node K, and the second plate of the second sub-capacitor Ckt is electrically connected to the low potential power supply terminal VSS. By making the first plate of the first sub-capacitor Cqt electrically connected to the first node Q and the second plate of the first sub-capacitor Cqt electrically connected to the low potential power supply terminal, the pull-down speed of the second node K and the third node can be accelerated through the first sub-capacitor Cqt, and the channel width of the transistor in the inverting module can be reduced accordingly, thereby improving the high potential stability of the second node K and the third node. By electrically connecting the first plate of the second sub-capacitor Ckt to the second node K and the second plate of the second sub-capacitor Ckt to the low potential power supply terminal, the pull-down speed of the first node Q and the signal output terminal can be accelerated through the second sub-capacitor Ckt, and the channel width of the transistor in the pull-down maintenance module can be reduced accordingly, reducing the leakage risk and improving the high potential stability of the first node Q and the signal output terminal.

[0049] Among them, the first electrode plate of the second sub-capacitor Ckt is electrically connected to the gate of the first pull-down maintenance transistor T32 and the gate of the second pull-down maintenance transistor T42. By setting the first pull-down maintenance transistor T32 and the second pull-down maintenance transistor T42, the second electrode of the first pull-down maintenance transistor T32 is connected to the signal output end, and the second electrode of the second pull-down maintenance transistor T42 is connected to the first node Q, so that the signal output end and the first node Q can be controlled to be maintained at a low potential by the first pull-down maintenance transistor T32 and the second pull-down maintenance transistor T42, so that the gate drive circuit works normally. And the first electrode plate of the second sub-capacitor Ckt is electrically connected to the gate of the first pull-down maintenance transistor T32 and the gate of the second pull-down maintenance transistor T42, which can speed up the pull-down speed of the first node Q and the signal output end, and correspondingly reduce the channel width of the first pull-down maintenance transistor T32 and the second pull-down maintenance transistor T42, thereby reducing leakage, taking into account the low leakage and low potential maintenance capabilities of the gate drive circuit.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the inverting module 213 includes a first inverting transistor T51, a second inverting transistor T52, a third inverting transistor T53 and a fourth inverting transistor T54, the gate of the first inverting transistor T51 is electrically connected to the high potential power supply terminal VGH, and the first electrode of the first inverting transistor T51 is electrically connected to the high potential power supply terminal VGH; the gate of the second inverting transistor T52 is electrically connected to the first node Q, the first electrode of the second inverting transistor T52 is electrically connected to the low potential power supply terminal VSS, and the second electrode of the second inverting transistor T52 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the first inverting transistor T51. connected to a third node P; a gate of the third inverting transistor T53 and a second electrode of the first inverting transistor T51 are electrically connected to the third node P, a first electrode of the third inverting transistor T53 is electrically connected to the high potential power supply terminal VGH, and a second electrode of the third inverting transistor T53 and the pull-down maintaining module 212 are electrically connected to the second node K; a gate of the fourth inverting transistor T54 is electrically connected to the first node Q, a first electrode of the fourth inverting transistor T54 is electrically connected to the low potential power supply terminal VSS, and a second electrode of the fourth inverting transistor T54 is electrically connected to the second node K;

[0051] The first plate of the first sub-capacitor Cqt is electrically connected to the gate of the second inverting transistor T52 and the gate of the fourth inverting transistor T54. By electrically connecting the first plate of the first sub-capacitor Cqt to the gate of the second inverting transistor T52 and the gate of the fourth inverting transistor T54, the pull-down speed of the second node K and the third node can be accelerated, and the channel width of the second inverting transistor T52 and the fourth inverting transistor T54 can be reduced accordingly, thereby reducing leakage, and taking into account the low leakage and low potential maintenance capabilities of the gate drive circuit.
