AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, the transistors in the forward and reverse scan shift registers are prone to threshold drift after a long scanning period, which causes them to fail to work properly when the scan direction is switched.
An array substrate design is adopted. By introducing multiple input units and transistors in each stage of the shift register, and using different power supply signals to control the potential of the pull-up node, the power supply signal does not jump between high and low during the forward and reverse sweep switching process, thus maintaining the stability of the transistor.
This effectively prevents the drift of the transistor threshold voltage, ensuring that the shift register unit can work normally during forward and reverse scan switching, and improving the stability and reliability of the shift register unit.

[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0045] The transistors used in all the embodiments of the present application can be thin film transistors, field effect transistors or other devices with the same characteristics. Since the source and drain of the transistor used here are symmetrical, the source and drain are not distinguished. In the embodiments of the present application, one of the two poles except the gate of the transistor is called the first pole, and the other is called the second pole. The first pole and the second pole are only distinguished in name, and are not essentially distinguished. In addition, according to the characteristics of the transistor, the transistor can be divided into N-type and P-type. The following embodiments are described by taking the N-type transistor as an example. It is conceivable that the P-type transistor is used to implement, which is easily conceived by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work, and thus is also within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
[0046] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a circuit structure of a shift register unit suitable for forward and reverse scanning in the related art, as shown in Figure 1The shift register unit comprises a forward scanning input transistor T1, a backward scanning input transistor T2 and a first node N1. Taking the example that the forward scanning input transistor T1 and the backward scanning input transistor T2 are both N-type transistors, when forward scanning is performed, the input end FW of the forward scanning input transistor T1 continuously provides a high-level signal, the input end BW of the backward scanning input transistor T2 continuously provides a low-level signal, INPUT1 and INPUT2 are connected to the gate of the forward scanning input transistor T1 and the gate of the backward scanning input transistor T2 respectively, and the opening of the forward scanning input transistor T1 and the backward scanning input transistor T2 is intermittently and continuously controlled. In the long-time forward scanning process, the forward scanning input transistor T1 pulls up the potential of the first node N1, and the backward scanning input transistor T2 pulls down the potential of the first node N1. Since the gate-source voltage Vgs of the backward scanning input transistor T2 is greater than the threshold voltage of the backward scanning input transistor T2 for a long time, the current-gate-source voltage (I-Vgs) characteristic curve of the backward scanning input transistor T2 produces a forward drift as shown in Figure 2 Therefore, the threshold voltage of the backward scanning input transistor T2 increases and the driving capability decreases. When the scanning direction is switched from forward scanning to backward scanning, as shown in Figure 3 The input end FW of the forward scanning input transistor T1 changes to provide a low potential, the input end BW of the backward scanning input transistor T2 changes to provide a high potential, and the level signals provided by the input end FW of the forward scanning input transistor T1 and the input end BW of the backward scanning input transistor T2 are switched with each other. Since the threshold voltage of the backward scanning input transistor T2 is large and the driving capability is low, the potential written to the first node N1 decreases, and thus the shift register unit cannot work normally.

The control end of the third input unit 113 is electrically connected with a third trigger end IN3, the input end of the third input unit 113 is electrically connected with the second power supply end PW2, and the output end of the third input unit 113 is electrically connected with the pull-up node PU, for adjusting the potential of the pull-up node PU according to the second power supply signal VGH provided by the second power supply end PW2 in response to the control of the third trigger end IN3. The control end of the fourth input unit 114 is electrically connected with a fourth trigger end IN4, the input end of the fourth input unit 114 is electrically connected with the first power supply end PW1, and the output end of the fourth input unit 114 is electrically connected with the pull-up node PU, for adjusting the potential of the pull-up node PU according to the first power supply signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 in response to the control of the fourth trigger end IN4. The first power supply signal VGL and the second power supply signal VGH are different in electrical property, and in this embodiment, the first power supply signal VGL can make the N-type transistor turn off, and the second power supply signal VGH can make the N-type transistor turn on.
[0048] In the embodiment, the array substrate includes a display area 201 and a non-display area 202. The display area 201 includes a plurality of sub-pixels 203 arranged in an array, the plurality of sub-pixels 203 are arranged along a first direction F1 to form a row of sub-pixels 203, and the plurality of sub-pixels 203 are arranged along a second direction F2 to form a column of sub-pixels 203, the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 intersect; wherein the arrangement mode of the pixels in the display area 201 can also be other arrangement modes, and is not limited to the array arrangement. The non-display area 202 includes a driving structure for the sub-pixels 203 in the display area 201 to display, specifically, the non-display area 202 at least includes a scan circuit 100, the scan circuit 100 is used to drive the sub-pixels 203 in the display area to display. Optionally, the sub-pixels in the display area 201 can be liquid crystal display units, can also be organic light-emitting display units, and can also be micro light-emitting diode display units, and are not specifically limited. The scan circuit 100 in the non-display area 202 is a gate scan circuit, and is used to control the sub-pixels 203 in the display area 201 to perform line-by-line scanning.
[0049] The scan circuit 100 includes a plurality of stages of shift register units 101. The shift register unit 101 includes a driving output end Gout, and one stage of shift register units 101 is electrically connected with one or more rows of sub-pixels 203 through the driving output end Gout. The shift register unit 101 provides a gate driving signal for the electrically connected sub-pixels 203 through the driving output end Gout, and is used to drive the sub-pixels 203 to work. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the shift register unit 101 is electrically connected with one row of sub-pixels 203, and the shift register unit 101 provides a gate driving signal for the corresponding one row of sub-pixels 203; but in other embodiments, one stage of shift register units can be electrically connected with multiple rows of sub-pixels, and the one stage of shift register units simultaneously or time-divisionally provides a gate driving signal for the multiple rows of sub-pixels.
[0050] In the embodiment, the shift register unit 101 comprises a first input unit 111, a control end of the first input unit 111 is electrically connected with the first trigger end IN1, an input end of the first input unit 111 is connected with the first signal end PW1, and an output end of the first input unit is connected with the pull-up node PU. Specifically, the electrical signal provided by the first trigger end IN1 is a signal jumping between high level and low level, thereby the on-off state of the first input unit 111 can be controlled. It can be understood that the transistor in the shift register unit 101 is taken as an N-type transistor for illustration, therefore, the high level signal can make the first input unit 111 turn on, and the low level signal can make the first input unit 111 turn off; if the high level signal is provided by the first trigger end IN1, the first power signal VGL provided by the first signal end PW1 is written into the pull-up node PU, if the low level signal is provided by the first trigger end IN1, the first input unit 111 is switched to the off state, and the transmission path between the first signal end PW1 and the pull-up node PU is disconnected. Therefore, the first input unit 111 responds to the control of the first trigger end IN1, and adjusts the potential of the pull-up node PU according to the first power signal VGL provided by the first power end PW1.
[0051] The shift register unit 101 comprises a second input unit 112, a control end of the second input unit 112 is electrically connected with the second trigger end IN2, an input end of the second input unit 112 is connected with the second signal end PW2, and an output end of the second input unit is connected with the pull-up node PU. Specifically, the electrical signal provided by the second trigger end IN2 is a signal jumping between high level and low level, thereby the on-off state of the second input unit 112 can be controlled. It can be understood that the transistor in the shift register unit 101 is taken as an N-type transistor for illustration, therefore, the high level signal can make the second input unit 112 turn on, and the low level signal can make the second input unit 112 turn off, if the high level signal is provided by the second trigger end IN2, the second power signal VGH provided by the second signal end PW2 is written into the pull-up node PU; if the low level signal is provided by the second trigger end IN2, the second input unit 112 is switched to the off state, and the transmission path between the second signal end PW2 and the pull-up node PU is disconnected. Therefore, the second input unit 112 responds to the control of the second trigger end IN2, and adjusts the potential of the pull-up node PU according to the second power signal VGH provided by the second power end PW2.
[0052] The shift register unit 101 comprises a third input unit 113, a control end of the third input unit 113 being electrically connected to the third trigger end IN3, an input end of the third input unit 113 being connected to the second signal end PW2, and an output end of the third input unit being connected to the pull-up node PU. Specifically, the third trigger end IN3 provides an electrical signal that jumps between high and low levels, thereby controlling the on-off state of the third input unit 113. It can be understood that the present application takes the transistor in the shift register unit 101 as an N-type transistor for illustration, and thus the high-level signal can make the third input unit 113 conduct, and the low-level signal can make the third input unit 113 turn off. If the third trigger end IN3 provides a high-level signal, then the second power signal VGH provided by the second signal end PW2 is written to the pull-up node PU; if the third trigger end IN3 provides a low-level signal, then the third input unit 113 is switched to the off state, and the transmission path between the second signal end PW2 and the pull-up node PU is disconnected. Therefore, the third input unit 113 responds to the control of the third trigger end IN3 and adjusts the potential of the pull-up node PU according to the second power signal VGH provided by the second power end PW2.
[0053] The shift register unit 101 comprises a fourth input unit 114, a control end of the fourth input unit 114 being electrically connected to the fourth trigger end IN4, an input end of the fourth input unit 114 being connected to the first signal end PW1, and an output end of the fourth input unit 114 being connected to the pull-up node PU. Specifically, the fourth trigger end IN4 provides an electrical signal that jumps between high and low levels, thereby controlling the on-off state of the fourth input unit 114. It can be understood that the present application takes the transistor in the shift register unit 101 as an N-type transistor for illustration, and thus the high-level signal can make the fourth input unit 114 conduct, and the low-level signal can make the fourth input unit 114 turn off. If the fourth trigger end IN1 provides a high-level signal, then the first power signal VGL provided by the first signal end PW1 is written to the pull-up node PU; if the fourth trigger end IN4 provides a low-level signal, then the fourth input unit 114 is switched to the off state, and the transmission path between the first signal end PW1 and the pull-up node PU is disconnected. Therefore, the fourth input unit 114 responds to the control of the fourth trigger end IN4 and adjusts the potential of the pull-up node PU according to the first power signal VGL provided by the first power end PW1.
[0054] In the embodiment, the input end of the first input unit 111 of the shift register unit 101 is electrically connected to the first power supply end PW1, the input end of the second input unit 112 is electrically connected to the second power supply end PW2, the input end of the third input unit 113 is electrically connected to the second power supply end PW2, the input end of the fourth input unit 114 is electrically connected to the first power supply end PW1, and the output ends of the first input unit 111, the second input unit 112, the third input unit 113 and the fourth input unit 114 are electrically connected to the pull-up node PU; in either the forward scanning mode or the reverse scanning mode, the first input unit 111 and the fourth input unit 114 pull down the potential of the pull-up node PU, and the second input unit 112 and the third input unit 113 pull up the potential of the pull-up node PU, so that the potential of the input end of the first input unit 111 to the fourth input unit 114 does not jump between high and low as in the prior art during the switching between the forward scanning mode and the reverse scanning mode, and thus the reverse scanning mode can be normally switched after a long time of the forward scanning mode or the forward scanning mode can be normally switched after a long time of the reverse scanning mode.
[0055] The optional shift register unit 101 further comprises an output unit 115, the control end of the output unit 115 is electrically connected to the pull-up node PU, the input end of the output unit 115 is electrically connected to the first signal end SG1, and the output end of the output unit 115 is electrically connected to the driving output end Gout; specifically, the potential of the pull-up node PU is controlled to jump between high and low by the first input unit 111, the second input unit 112, the third input unit 113 and the fourth input unit 114, so as to control the on-off state of the output unit 115. In the embodiment, the first signal provided by the first signal end SG1 can be a clock signal, which is marked as the first clock signal CK1; it can be understood that if the potential of the pull-up node PU is a high potential, the first output unit 115 is controlled to switch to the on state, the first clock signal CK1 provided by the first signal end SG1 is written to the driving output end Gout, and if the potential of the pull-up node PU is a low potential, the first output unit 115 is controlled to switch to the off state, and the transmission path between the first signal end SG1 and the driving output end Gout is disconnected. Therefore, the output unit 115 is used to respond to the control of the pull-up node PU, and adjust the signal of the driving output end Gout according to the first signal provided by the first signal end SG1.
[0056] The optional shift register unit further comprises a first reset unit 116, a control end of the first reset unit 116 is electrically connected to the second signal end SG2, an input end of the first reset unit 116 is electrically connected to the first power supply end PW1, and an output end of the first reset unit 116 is electrically connected to the driving output end Gout, for adjusting the signal of the driving output end Gout according to the first power supply signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 in response to the control of the second signal provided by the second signal end SG2. Specifically, the second signal provided by the second signal end SG2 can be a clock signal, which is marked as a second clock signal CK2, and the second clock signal CK2 can control the on-off state of the first reset unit 116. It can be understood that if the potential of the second clock signal CK2 is a high potential, the first reset unit 116 is controlled to switch to the on state, and the first power supply signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 is written to the driving output end Gout, and if the potential of the second clock signal CK2 is a low potential, the first reset unit 116 is controlled to switch to the off state, and the transmission path between the first power supply end PW1 and the driving output end Gout is disconnected. Therefore, the first reset unit 116 is used for adjusting the signal of the driving output end Gout according to the first power supply signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 in response to the control of the second signal end SG2.
[0057] The optional shift register unit further comprises a second reset unit 117, a third reset unit 118 and a node control unit 119.
[0058] The control end of the second reset unit 117 is electrically connected to the third signal end Reset, the input end of the second reset unit 117 is electrically connected to the first power supply end PW1, and the output end of the second reset unit 117 is electrically connected to the pull-up node PU, for adjusting the potential of the pull-up node PU according to the first power supply signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 in response to the control of the third signal end Reset. Specifically, the electrical signal provided by the third signal end Reset is a high-low level jump signal, thereby the on-off state of the second reset unit 117 can be controlled. It can be understood that if the potential of the electrical signal provided by the third signal end Reset is a high potential, the second reset unit 117 is controlled to switch to the on state, and the first power supply signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 is written to the pull-up node PU, and if the potential of the electrical signal provided by the third signal end Reset is a low potential, the second reset unit 117 is controlled to switch to the off state, and the transmission path between the first power supply end PW1 and the pull-up node PU is disconnected. Therefore, the second reset unit 117 is used for adjusting the potential of the pull-up node PU according to the first power supply signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 in response to the control of the third signal end Reset.
[0059] The control end of the third reset unit 118 is electrically connected with the fourth signal end Goff, the input end of the third reset unit 118 is connected with the first power supply end PW1, and the output end of the third reset unit 118 is electrically connected with the driving output end Gout, for adjusting the signal of the driving output end Gout according to the first power signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 in response to the control of the fourth signal end Goff. Specifically, the electrical signal provided by the fourth signal end Goff is a signal of high-low level transition, so as to control the on-off state of the third reset unit 118. It can be understood that if the level signal potential provided by the fourth signal end Reset is a high level potential, the third reset unit 118 is controlled to switch to the on state, and the first power signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 is written to the driving output end Gout. If the level signal potential provided by the fourth signal end Goff is a low level potential, the third reset unit 118 is controlled to switch to the off state, and the transmission path between the first power supply end PW1 and the driving output end Gout is disconnected. Therefore, the third reset unit 118 is used for adjusting the signal of the driving output end Gout according to the first power signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 in response to the control of the fourth signal end Goff.
[0060] The control end of the node control unit 119 is electrically connected with the pull-up node PU and the pull-down node PD, the input end of the node control unit 119 is electrically connected with the first power supply end PW1, and the output end of the node control unit 119 is electrically connected with the pull-up node PU, the pull-down node PD and the driving output end Gout, for adjusting the signals of the pull-up node PU, the pull-down node PD and the driving output end in response to the control of the pull-up node PU or the pull-down node PD according to the first power signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1. Specifically, at least one control end of the node control unit 119 is electrically connected with the pull-up node PU, and at least one control end is electrically connected with the pull-down node PD. The signals of the pull-up node PU and the pull-down node PD will have high-low level transition. If the potential of the pull-up node PU is a high level potential, the first power signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 is written to the pull-down node PD. If the potential of the pull-up node PU is a low level potential, the transmission path between the first power supply end PW1 and the pull-down node PD is disconnected. If the potential of the pull-down node PD is a high level potential, the first power signal VGL provided by the first power supply end PW1 is written to the pull-up node PU and the driving output end Gout. If the potential of the pull-down node PD is a low level potential, the transmission paths between the first power supply end PW1 and the pull-up node PU, and the first power supply end PW1 and the driving output end Gout are disconnected.

The first signal end SG1 receives the first clock signal CK1, and the second signal end SG2 receives the second clock signal CK2. The first clock signal CK1 is different from the second clock signal CK2, so that the clock signal line connected to the first signal end SG1 is different from the clock signal line connected to the second signal end SG2.
[0088] In the embodiment, the first signal end SG1 is connected to the first electrode of the fifth transistor M5, and the second signal end SG2 is connected to the gate of the sixth transistor M6. The first signal end SG1 receives the first clock signal CK1, and the second signal end SG2 receives the second clock signal CK2. The first clock signal CK1 is different from the second clock signal CK2, so that the clock signal line connected to the first signal end SG1 is different from the clock signal line connected to the second signal end SG2. Figure 6As shown, the shift register unit 101 includes a forward and reverse scanning module S, which includes a first transistor M1, a second transistor M2, a third transistor M3, and a fourth transistor M4. The first transistor M1 and the fourth transistor M4 pull down the potential of a pull-up node PU, and the second transistor M1 and the third transistor M3 pull up the potential of the pull-up node PU. The first electrode of the first transistor M1 is connected to a first power supply end PW1, the first electrode of the second transistor M2 is connected to a second power supply end PW2, the first electrode of the third transistor M3 is connected to the second power supply end PW2, the first electrode of the fourth transistor M4 is connected to the first power supply end PW1, and the second electrodes of the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 are all connected to the pull-up node PU. In the forward scanning process, the first transistor M1 and the fourth transistor M4 pull down the potential of the pull-up node PU, and the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 pull up the potential of the pull-up node PU. In the reverse scanning process, the first transistor M1 and the fourth transistor M4 still pull down the potential of the pull-up node PU, and the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 pull up the potential of the pull-up node PU. Therefore, after the forward and reverse scanning modes are switched, the functions of the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 do not change, and it is not necessary to switch the first power supply signal VGL and the second power supply signal VGH according to the scanning direction. The first transistor M1 and the second transistor M4, which have a forward threshold voltage drift, do not need to pull up the pull-up node PU after the scanning mode is switched. Therefore, the shift register unit 101 can normally switch to the reverse scanning mode after a long time of forward scanning, or can normally switch to the forward scanning mode after a long time of reverse scanning. On this basis, the display panel can perform forward scanning and reverse scanning, and can switch between forward scanning and reverse scanning, thereby solving the problems in the prior art.
[0089] The optional scanning circuit 100 includes X-stage shift register units 101 connected in cascade. Each stage of the shift register units includes at least one shift output end Gx. The shift output ends Gx of the shift register units are connected in cascade. The signals output by the shift output ends Gx and the driving output end Gout are the same. In some embodiments, the shift output ends Gx and the driving output end Gout are separated. In this embodiment, the shift output ends Gx are multiplexed with the driving output end Gout. As shown, on one hand, the shift register unit 101 outputs a signal through the driving output end Gout to drive the corresponding sub-pixel, and on the other hand, the shift register unit 101 is connected in cascade through the driving output end Gout. Figure 6
[0090] The optional scanning circuit 100 further includes Y clock signal lines and k*Y trigger lines, where k≥1 and Y≥2. In the Y clock signal lines, the clock signals provided by the optional 2 clock signal lines have the same frequency and different phases. Optionally, as shown in the figure, the clock signals provided by the 2 clock signal lines have the same frequency and different phases.

[0091] The scanning circuit in the embodiment can be double-side driven or single-side driven. It can be understood that the clock signal provided by the same clock signal line in the forward scanning can be different from the clock signal provided by the same clock signal line in the reverse scanning, and the trigger signal provided by the same trigger line in the forward scanning can be different from the trigger signal provided by the same trigger line in the reverse scanning.
[0092] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of a scanning circuit 100 provided by an embodiment of the application, as Figure 9 shown, the single-side structure of the scanning circuit is a 2-phase GOA structure. The optional scanning circuit 100 includes two clock signal lines including a first clock signal line CKL1 and a second clock signal line CKL2, and four trigger lines including a first trigger line STV1, a second trigger line STV2, a third trigger line STV3 and a fourth trigger line STV4.
[0093] The X-stage shift registers 101 in the scanning circuit 100 are sequentially marked as GOA1, GOA2, GOA3, GOA4…GOA X , and the nth stage shift register 101 is marked as GOA n . 1≤n≤X. Two adjacent shift register units 101 constitute a shift register unit group 111, for example, the shift register unit GOA1 and the shift register unit GOA2 constitute the first-stage shift register unit group 111 / 1, the shift register unit GOA3 and the shift register unit GOA4 constitute the second-stage shift register unit group 111 / 2, and so on. Therefore, the scanning circuit 100 includes X / 2 cascaded shift register unit groups 111, Figure 9 only the first-stage shift register unit group 111 / 1, part of the second-stage shift register unit group 111 / 2, part of the X / 2-1th stage shift register unit group 111 / (X / 2-1), and the X / 2th stage shift register unit group 111 / (X / 2) of the scanning circuit 100 are shown in FIG. 1.
[0094] For each stage shift register unit group 111, the two adjacent shift register units 101 included in the group are marked as the first stage shift register unit GOA-1 and the second stage shift register unit GOA-2 of the shift register unit group 111, for example, the shift register unit GOA1 is the first stage shift register unit GOA-1 of the first stage shift register unit group 111 / 1, and the shift register unit GOA2 is the second stage shift register unit GOA-2 of the first stage shift register unit group 111 / 1; the shift register unit GOA3 is the first stage shift register unit GOA-1 of the second stage shift register unit group 111 / 2, and the shift register unit GOA4 is the second stage shift register unit GOA-2 of the second stage shift register unit group 111 / 2, and so on.
[0095] As shown in Figure 9 , the shift register unit group satisfies the following conditions: the first clock signal CKL1 is connected to the first signal end SG1 of the first stage shift register unit GOA-1 of each stage shift register unit group 111 and the second signal end SG2 of the second stage shift register unit GOA-2 of each stage shift register unit group 111; the second clock signal CKL2 is connected to the second signal end SG2 of the first stage shift register unit GOA-1 of each stage shift register unit group 111 and the first signal end SG1 of the second stage shift register unit GOA-2 of each stage shift register unit group 111; the scan circuit 100 includes a forward scan mode and a reverse scan mode, specifically, the forward scan mode can be scanning in the direction of GOA1 pointing to GOA X , and correspondingly, the reverse scan mode is scanning in the reverse direction of GOA X pointing to GOA1.
[0096] When the scan circuit is performing forward scan or reverse scan, the working timing of the first stage shift register unit GOA-1 of each stage shift register unit group 111 is as follows: the first clock signal CK1 received by the first signal end SG1 is derived from the first clock signal line CKL1, and the second clock signal CK2 received by the second signal end SG2 is derived from the second clock signal line CKL2. The working timing of the second stage shift register unit GOA-2 of each stage shift register unit group 111 is as follows: the first clock signal CK1 received by the first signal end SG1 is derived from the second clock signal line CKL2, and the second clock signal CK2 received by the second signal end SG2 is derived from the second clock signal line CKL1.
