[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.
[0039] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit in the related art. Figure 1 As shown, the pixel circuit includes a driving transistor DT, a data writing transistor T1, a gate reset transistor T2, a light emitting control transistor T3, an electrode reset transistor T4, and a storage capacitor C1. The driving transistor DT is a dual-gate structure, including a top gate and a bottom gate, wherein the top gate is connected to the data writing transistor T1, the gate reset transistor T2, and one plate of the storage capacitor C1, and the bottom gate is connected to the other plate of the storage capacitor C1. The operation of the pixel circuit also requires a first power supply signal ELVDD, a reset signal Vref, a constant voltage signal Vini, a data signal Data, a light emitting control signal EM1, a scan signal G1, a scan signal G2, and a scan signal G3. The pixel circuit is connected to the first electrode of the light emitting device OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), and the second electrode of the light emitting device OLED is connected to the second power supply signal ELVSS, and Coled represents the parasitic capacitance of the light emitting device OLED itself. The active layer of each transistor in the pixel circuit includes a metal oxide, and the transistor is an n-type transistor. The control signals required by the pixel circuit, such as the light emitting control signal EM1, the scanning signal G1, the scanning signal G2, and the scanning signal G3, have an enable level of a high level, so a shift register unit capable of providing a high level enable level is required.
[0040] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a shift register unit in the related art, such as Figure 2As shown, the shift register unit includes an input module 01 and an output module 02. The output module 02 includes a first output tube T1' and a second output tube T2', a second capacitor C2 and a third capacitor C3. The output end of the input module 01 is connected to the node N1 and the node NB1, the control end of the first output tube T1' is connected to the node N2, the node N2 is connected to the node N1 through the switch tube T3', and the control end of the second output tube T2' is connected to the node NB1. The first end of the first output tube T1' receives a high-level signal VGH, and the second end is connected to the output end OUT of the shift register unit. The first end of the second output tube T2' receives a low-level signal VGL, and the second end is connected to the output end OUT of the shift register unit. The control end of the switch tube T3' receives the high-level signal VGH. The first output tube T1', the second output tube T2', and the switch tube T3' are all n-type transistors. The input module 01 writes signals to the node N1 and the node NB1 respectively under the control of the input signal STV and the clock signal CK'.
[0041] Figure 3 for Figure 2 A timing diagram of the shift register unit in an embodiment. Figure 3 The potential changes at each node are shown in Figure . Figure 3 As shown, during the period when the node N2 is at a high level, the first output tube T1' is turned on and provides a high level signal VGH to the output terminal OUT, and the output terminal OUT outputs a high level signal; during the period when the node NB1 is at a high level, the second output tube T2' is turned on and provides a low level signal VGL to the output terminal OUT, and the output terminal OUT outputs a low level signal. Since the threshold voltage range of the n-type transistor is small, during the period when the node N2 is written at a high level, the node N2 will leak electricity to the node N1 through the switch tube T3', causing the potential of the node N2 to decrease (such as Figure 3 The potential change of the node N2 affects the opening state of the first output tube T1', thereby affecting the output capability of the high-level signal. When the high-level signal is used as an enable signal, it affects the operation of the pixel circuit, resulting in abnormal display.
[0042] In order to solve the problems existing in the related art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel, wherein a voltage stabilizing module is provided in a shift register unit, and the voltage stabilizing module is used to stabilize the potential of the control end of the output module, so that the output module stably outputs a high-level enable signal. In the application, the shift register unit outputs a stable high-level enable signal to drive the n-type transistor in the pixel circuit.
[0043] Figure 4 A simplified schematic diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4As shown, the display panel includes a plurality of pixel circuits 10 arranged in an array, and the pixel circuits 10 are arranged in a pixel circuit row 10H in the horizontal direction. A plurality of cascaded shift register units 20 form a shift register 2, and the output end of the shift register unit 20 is connected to each pixel circuit 10 in the pixel circuit row 10H through a scan line 30. Among them, the pixel circuit 10 includes at least one n-type transistor, and the output end of the shift register unit 20 outputs a high-level enable signal to drive the n-type transistor in the pixel circuit 10. Figure 4 It is shown that the shift register unit 20 is disposed on one side of the pixel circuit row 10H. In other embodiments, the shift register units 20 are disposed on both sides of the pixel circuit row 10H.
[0044] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a shift register unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the shift register unit includes an input module 21, an output module 22 and a voltage stabilizing module 23. The input module 21 is configured to write voltages to the first node Q1 and the second node Q2 respectively based on at least the input signal STV and the first clock signal CK1, and the output module 22 is connected to the first node Q1 and the second node Q2 respectively; the output module 22 is configured to output a high-level signal based on the voltage of the first node Q1, and is also configured to output a low-level signal based on the voltage of the second node Q2. Optionally, the output module 22 includes a third output tube M3 and a fourth output tube M4, the third output tube M3 provides a high-level signal VGH to the output terminal OUT under the high-level control of the first node Q1, and the fourth output tube M4 provides a low-level signal VGL to the output terminal OUT under the high-level control of the second node Q2. The high-level signal output by the output terminal OUT is used as an enable signal for driving the n-type transistor in the pixel circuit.
[0045] The voltage stabilizing module 23 is connected to at least the first node Q1; during at least a portion of the time when the first node Q1 is at a high potential, the voltage stabilizing module 23 is configured to pull up the potential of the first node Q1 based on the voltage of the first node Q1 and the first voltage signal VG1. The first voltage signal VG1 is a high level signal during at least a portion of the time.
[0046] An embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel, in which a voltage stabilizing module 23 is added to a shift register unit 20. The voltage stabilizing module 23 can raise the potential of the first node Q1 during at least part of the time period when the first node Q1 is at a high potential, so that the first node Q1 is stably maintained at a high potential, thereby ensuring that the shift register unit 20 stably outputs a high-level signal. The shift register unit 20 can stably provide a high-level enable signal to the n-type transistor in the pixel circuit 10, thereby ensuring that the pixel circuit 10 works stably and improving the product performance reliability.
[0047] In some embodiments, at least the transistor connected to the first node Q1 in the output module 22 is an n-type transistor. The n-type transistor is turned on under high-level control and turned off under low-level control. In the embodiment of the present invention, the voltage stabilizing module 23 is set to stably maintain the high potential during the period when the first node Q1 is at a high potential, which can ensure that the n-type transistor in the output module 22 maintains a stable open state, thereby allowing the shift register unit 20 to stably output a high-level signal. Optionally, all transistors in the output module 22 are n-type transistors.
[0048] In some embodiments, all transistors in the shift register unit 20 are n-type transistors. Such an arrangement enables the active layers of each transistor to be made of the same material, which can simplify the film manufacturing process of the display panel and reduce the manufacturing cost. In addition, when at least part of the transistors in the pixel circuit of the display panel are made of n-type transistors, the shift register unit 20 can also match the manufacturing process of the pixel circuit to simplify the manufacturing process of the display panel.
[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, the active layer of the n-type transistor in the shift register unit 20 includes indium gallium zinc oxide. The indium gallium zinc oxide transistor has the advantages of high mobility and low leakage current, and can improve the circuit performance reliability of the shift register unit 20.
[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 6 A timing diagram provided in an embodiment of the present invention can be used to drive Figure 5 The shift register unit 20 is provided. Figure 6 As shown, the operation of the shift register unit 20 includes a first period t1 and a second period t2; at least in the first period t1 and the second period t2, the first node Q1 is at a high potential. In the first period t1, the voltage of the first node Q1 is V1; in the second period t2, the voltage of the first node Q1 is V2, V2>V1. Figure 6 The timing diagram shows that the potential of the first node Q1 in the second period t2 is higher than that in the first period t1. In this embodiment, the voltage stabilizing module 23 pulls the potential of the first node Q1 higher in the second period t2, so that the first node Q1 can be stably maintained at a high potential, thereby ensuring that the shift register unit 20 stably outputs a high-level signal, and the shift register unit 20 can provide a stable high-level enable signal to the n-type transistor in the pixel circuit 10, ensuring that the pixel circuit 10 works stably and improving the product performance reliability.
[0051] In some embodiments, the operation of the shift register unit 20 includes m first time periods t1 and m second time periods t2, where m is an integer and m≥1; in time sequence, the first time periods t1 and the second time periods t2 are arranged alternately, and the first first time period t1 is earlier than the first second time period t2. Figure 6The embodiment takes m=2 as an example. It can be understood that the number of m is related to the duration of the first node Q1 maintaining a high level. The larger the m, the longer the first node Q1 maintains a high level. The potential writing of the first node Q1 is controlled by the input module 21, that is, the duration of the first node Q1 maintaining a high level is related to the high level duration of the input signal STV. The longer the first node Q1 maintains a high level, the longer the shift register unit 20 outputs a high level. In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of m is set according to the duration of the high level enable level required in the application.
[0052] In some embodiments, in the first time period t1, the input module 21 writes a high potential to the first node Q1 based on the high level signal of the first clock signal CK1, and the voltage stabilizing module 23 writes the low level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 to the third node Q3 in the voltage stabilizing module 23 under the control of the first node Q1. In the second time period t2, the voltage stabilizing module 23 writes the high level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 to the third node Q3 under the control of the first node Q1, and pulls up the potential of the first node Q1 based on the potential change of the third node Q3. In this embodiment, the third node Q3 is set in the voltage stabilizing module 23, a low level is written to the third node Q3 in the first time period t1, a high level is written to the third node Q3 in the second time period t2, and the potential of the first node Q1 is pulled up by the potential change of the third node Q3. Even if there is leakage from the first node Q1 to other nodes, the leakage can be compensated, ensuring that the first node Q1 has a relatively stable high potential, so that the output tube controlled by it can be stably turned on, and then the shift register unit 20 can be ensured to stably output a high level signal. The shift register unit 20 can provide a stable high-level enable signal to the n-type transistor in the pixel circuit 10 , thereby ensuring that the pixel circuit 10 works stably and improving product performance reliability.
[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of another shift register unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 7As shown, the voltage stabilizing module 23 includes a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2 and a first capacitor C1; the control end of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first node Q1, the control end of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second node Q2, the first end of the first transistor T1 receives the first voltage signal VG1, the second end of the first transistor T1 and the second end of the second transistor T2 are connected to the third node Q3, and the first end of the second transistor T2 receives the second voltage signal VG2. One plate of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first node Q1, and the other plate is connected to the third node Q3. In addition, the shift register unit 20 also includes a protection transistor M5, the control end of the protection transistor M5 receives the high level signal VGH, the protection transistor M5 is connected between an output end of the input module 21 and the first node Q1, and the protection transistor M5 and the output end of the input module 21 are connected to the fifth node Q5.
[0054] Combination Figure 6 From the schematic timing diagram, in the first time period t1, the voltage stabilizing module 23 writes the low level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 into the third node Q3 under the control of the high potential of the first node Q1. Specifically, the high potential of the first node Q1 controls the first transistor T1 to turn on and write the low level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 into the third node Q3. In this time period, the third node Q3 is at a low potential, and the plate of the first capacitor C1 connected to the first node Q1 is at a high potential, and the plate connected to the third node Q3 is at a low potential.
[0055] In the second period t2, the voltage stabilizing module 23 writes the high level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 into the third node Q3 under the control of the high potential of the first node Q1. Specifically, the high potential of the first node Q1 controls the first transistor T1 to turn on and write the high level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 into the third node Q3, so that the third node Q3 is at a high potential. The potential of the third node Q3 jumps from low to high, and the potential of the first node Q1 is pulled up due to the coupling effect of the first capacitor C1.
[0056] In this embodiment, the voltage stabilizing module 23 works under the control of the potential of the first node Q1, and uses the coupling effect of the first capacitor C1 to pull up the potential of the first node Q1, so that the potential of the first node Q1 after being pulled up in the second period t2 will be higher than its potential in the first period t1. It can compensate for the leakage of the first node Q1 to the fifth node Q5 through the protection transistor M5, ensure that the first node Q1 is stably maintained at a high potential, and then the output tube controlled by the first node Q1 can be stably turned on, ensuring that the output end of the shift register unit 20 outputs a stable high-level enable signal.
[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 6As shown, the operation of the shift register unit 20 also includes a reset period t30; during the reset period t30, the first node Q1 is at a low potential, and the second node Q2 is at a high potential. During the reset period t30, the voltage stabilizing module 23 writes the low potential of the second voltage signal VG2 to the third node Q3 based on the control of the second node Q2. In this way, the third node Q3 can be reset. Specifically, in combination Figure 7 From the perspective of FIG. 1 , during the period when the second node Q2 is at a high level, the second node Q2 controls the second transistor T2 to turn on and write the second voltage signal VG2 to the third node Q3 to reset the third node Q3. Optionally, the second voltage signal VG2 is a low level signal VGL.
[0058] Figure 7 The structure of the output module 22 is also schematically shown, and the output module 22 includes a third output tube M3, a fourth output tube M4, a capacitor C01 and a capacitor C02. The control end of the third output tube M3 is connected to the first node Q1, the first end receives a high-level signal VGH, and the second end is connected to the output end OUT of the output module 22. The control end of the fourth output tube M4 is connected to the second node Q2, the first end receives a low-level signal VGL, and the second end is connected to the output end OUT of the output module 22. During the period when the first node Q1 is at a high level, the first node Q1 controls the third output tube M3 to turn on, and the shift register unit outputs a high-level signal. During the period when the second node Q2 is at a high level, the second node Q2 controls the fourth output tube M4 to turn on, and the shift register unit outputs a low-level signal.
[0059] In some embodiments, the first voltage signal VG1 is the second clock signal CK2. The first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 can be a pair of clock signals with the same period. In the first time period t1, the first clock signal CK1 is at a high level and the second clock signal CK2 is at a low level; in the second time period t2, the first clock signal CK1 is at a low level and the second clock signal CK2 is at a high level. The first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 jointly drive the cascaded multiple shift register units 20. In the embodiment of the present invention, setting the first voltage signal VG1 as the second clock signal CK2 can simplify the types of signals required to drive the shift register unit 20, and is also beneficial to reducing the wiring of the display panel and narrowing the border.
[0060] In other embodiments, Figure 8 Another timing diagram provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be used to drive the shift register unit 20 provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8As shown, the operation of the shift register unit 20 includes a first time period t1 and a second time period t2; at least in the first time period t1 and the second time period t2, the first node Q1 is at a high potential. In the first time period t1, the voltage of the first node Q1 is V1; in the second time period t2, the voltage of the first node Q1 is V2, and V2 > V1. In terms of chronological order, the first time period t1 is earlier than the second time period t2; the length of the first time period t1 is t01, and the length of the second time period t2 is t02, where t02 > t01. That is, the duration of the first time period t1 is less than the duration of the second time period t2, and the potential of the first node Q1 remains at a higher potential for a longer time after being pulled up. The high potential of the first node Q1 controls the output module 22 to output a high-level enable signal, and the longer the first node Q1 is at a higher potential, the better the stability of the high-level signal output by the shift register unit.
[0061] In some embodiments, in the first time period t1, the input module 21 writes a high potential to the first node Q1 based on the high-level signal of the first clock signal CK1, and the voltage stabilization module 23 writes the high level of the input signal STV to the fourth node Q4 in the voltage stabilization module 23 under the control of the high-level signal of the first clock signal CK1, and writes the low-level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 to the third node Q3 under the control of the high potential of the fourth node Q4.
[0062] The second time period t2 includes a first sub-period t21 and a second sub-period t22. In the first sub-period t21, the voltage stabilization module 23 writes the high-level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 to the third node Q3 under the control of the fourth node Q4, raises the potential of the fourth node Q4 based on the potential change of the third node Q3, the voltage of the fourth node Q4 is V3, and there is unidirectional conduction between the fourth node Q4 and the first node Q1, and writes the voltage of the fourth node Q4 to the first node Q1; in the second sub-period t22, the voltage stabilization module 23 writes the low-level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 to the third node Q3 under the control of the high potential of the fourth node Q4, and the voltage stabilization module 23 writes the voltage of the input signal STV to the fourth node Q4 under the high-level control of the first clock signal CK1, the voltage of the fourth node Q4 is V4, and V4 < V3. Since there is unidirectional conduction between the fourth node Q4 and the first node Q1, the first node Q1 will not leak electricity to the fourth node Q4, so that the first node Q1 can maintain a high potential. Figure 8 It can be seen from the timing that in the second time period t2, the first node Q1 remains at a relatively higher potential, and although the fourth node Q4 remains at a high potential, its high potential fluctuates.
[0063] In this embodiment, a third node Q3 and a fourth node Q4 are set in the voltage stabilizing module 23, and a low level is written to the third node Q3 in the first period t1. A high level is written to the third node Q3 in the first sub-segment t21 of the second period t2, and the potential of the fourth node Q4 is pulled up by the potential change of the third node Q3, and then the potential of the first node Q1 is pulled up by the high potential of the fourth node Q4. In the second sub-segment t21, the potential of the fourth node Q4 is pulled down, and the path between the fourth node Q4 and the first node Q1 is cut off. In this way, it can be ensured that the first node Q1 is stably maintained at a relatively higher high potential after the first sub-segment t21, so that the output tube controlled by the first node Q1 can be stably turned on, and the output end of the shift register unit 20 is ensured to output a stable high-level enable signal.
[0064] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 Schematic diagram of another shift register unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 As shown, the voltage stabilizing module 23 includes a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a first capacitor C1, a third transistor T3 and a sub-input module 231. The control end of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first node Q1 through the third transistor T3, the control end of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second node Q2, the first end of the first transistor T1 receives the first voltage signal VG1, the second end of the first transistor T1 and the second end of the second transistor T2 are connected to the third node Q3, and the first end of the second transistor T2 receives the second voltage signal VG2. Among them, the first voltage signal VG1 can be the second clock signal CK2, and the second voltage signal VG2 can be a low level signal VGL. The control end of the first transistor T1, one plate of the first capacitor C1 and the control end of the third transistor T3 are connected to the fourth node Q4, the first end of the third transistor T3 is connected to the fourth node Q4, and the second end of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first node Q1. The output end of the sub-input module 231 is connected to the fourth node Q4, and the sub-input module 231 is configured to write a voltage to the fourth node Q4 based on the input signal STV and the first clock signal CK1.
[0065] Combination Figure 8From the timing diagram, in the first time period t1, the sub-input module 231 writes the high level of the input signal STV into the fourth node Q4 in the voltage stabilizing module 23 under the control of the first clock signal CK1. The high potential of the fourth node Q4 controls the first transistor T1 to turn on and writes the low level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 into the third node Q3. In the first sub-segment t21 of the second time period t2, the high potential of the fourth node Q4 controls the first transistor T1 to turn on and writes the high level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 into the third node Q3. The third node Q3 jumps from a low potential to a high potential. Due to the coupling effect of the first capacitor C1, the potential of the fourth node Q4 is pulled up. The high potential of the fourth node Q4 controls the third transistor T3 to turn on and writes the high potential of the fourth node Q4 into the first node Q1, thereby pulling up the potential of the first node Q1. In addition, Fig. 9 In the embodiment, the control end of the third transistor T3 and the first end of the third transistor T3 are both connected to the fourth node Q4, and the third transistor T3 forms a diode-like structure, so that it has a unidirectional conduction characteristic. In the second sub-segment t21, under the control of the high potential of the fourth node Q4, the low level signal of the first voltage signal VG1 is written into the third node Q3, and the voltage stabilizing module 23 writes the high level of the input signal STV into the fourth node Q4 under the control of the high level signal of the first clock signal CK1. At this time, the potential of the fourth node Q4 is lower than its potential in the first sub-segment t21, but because the third transistor T3 forms a diode-like structure, it can prevent the first node Q1 from discharging to the fourth node Q4, so that the high potential stability of the first node Q1 is better, and the first node Q1 can still maintain a relatively higher high potential in the second sub-segment t22.
[0066] in addition, Fig. 9 In the embodiment, the operation of the shift register unit 20 also includes a reset period t30; during the reset period t30, the first node Q1 is at a low potential and the second node Q2 is at a high potential. During the reset period t30, the voltage stabilizing module 23 writes the low potential of the second voltage signal VG2 to the third node Q3 based on the control of the second node Q2. Specifically, during the period when the second node Q2 is at a high level, the second node Q2 controls the second transistor T2 to turn on and writes the second voltage signal VG2 to the third node Q3 to reset the third node Q3.

The fifth transistor T5 is turned on under the control of the third voltage signal VG3, and the high potential of the sixth node Q6 is written to the fourth node Q4. In the first sub-segment t21 of the second period t2, the first clock signal CK1 is at a low level, then the fourth transistor T4 is turned off, and the path for the sub-input module 231 to write the signal to the fourth node Q4 is closed, so that the fourth node Q4 maintains a high potential. In the second sub-section t22 of the second period t2, the first clock signal CK1 is at a high level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the sub-input module 231 writes the signal provided by the input signal STV into the fourth node Q4.

In the second period t2, the eighth node Q8 and the seventh node Q7 maintain a low level. In the third period t3, the input signal STV is at a low level to control the first sub-transistor T91 and the second sub-transistor T92 to turn off, and the first clock signal CK1 jumps from a low level to a high level. Due to the coupling effect of the second capacitor C2, the potential of the seventh node Q7 is pulled up, and the high potential of the seventh node Q7 controls the eleventh transistor T11 to turn on and write the high level of the third voltage signal VG3 to the eighth node Q8. In this period, the eighth node Q8 and the seventh node Q7 are both at a high level, and the first sub-transistor T91 and the second sub-transistor T92 are both in a closed state, thereby preventing the leakage of the seventh node Q7 when the ninth transistor T9 is in a negative bias state.
