[0075] like Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a topological diagram of a scan driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present application, and is described by taking four first shift register units (matching and connecting four rows of pixels) as an example.
[0076] The scan driver includes four cascaded first shift register units 210 and two second shift register units 220. One of the two second shift register units 220 is cascaded with the first shift register unit 210, and is called the first-stage second shift register unit (also called the compensation stage 1), and the other is called the second-stage second shift register unit (also called the compensation stage 2). Each stage of the first shift register unit 210 is matched with a corresponding pixel row, and the pixel row is located in the display area (the number of pixel rows is the same as the number of the first shift register units 210). The two second shift register units 220 and the corresponding virtual pixel rows (see Figure 6 In a) in the border area, NVGH in the first shift register unit 210 provides a high level signal, NVGL provides a low level signal, and RST provides a reset signal.
[0077] The output end of the first-stage first shift register unit 210 is connected to the first scan line signal line S1 of the first-stage / 1st-row pixel row (the first scan line signal line S1 is electrically connected to the gate of the fourth transistor of the driving circuit of the corresponding pixel row to transmit a signal thereto).
[0078] The output end of the first shift register unit 210 of the second stage is connected to the first scan line signal line S1 of the second stage / 2nd row of pixels (the first scan line signal line S1 is electrically connected to the gate of the fourth transistor of the driving circuit of the corresponding pixel row to transmit a signal thereto).
[0079] The output end of the first shift register unit 210 of the third stage is connected to the first scan line signal line S1 of the third stage / 3rd pixel row (the first scan line signal line S1 is electrically connected to the gate of the fourth transistor of the pixel driving circuit in the row to transmit a signal thereto).
[0080] The output end of the first shift register unit 210 of the fourth stage is connected to the first scan line signal line S1 of the fourth stage / 4th pixel row (the first scan line signal line S1 is electrically connected to the gate of the fourth transistor of the driving circuit of the corresponding pixel row to transmit a signal thereto).
[0081] And the output end of the first shift register unit 210 of the third stage is connected to the third scan line S3 of the corresponding row of the first shift register unit 210 of the first stage (the third scan line S3 is electrically connected to the gate of the third transistor of the pixel driving circuit in the row), that is, the transmission signal line S3 of the first pixel row is cascaded to the output end of the first shift register unit 210 of the third stage. The third transistor is also called a threshold compensation transistor. The fourth transistor is also called an initialization transistor.
[0082] The output end of the first shift register unit 210 of the fourth stage is connected to the third scan line S3 of the second stage / second row of pixel rows (the third scan line S3 is electrically connected to the gate of the third transistor of the driving circuit of the pixel row), that is, the third scan line S3 of the second row of pixel rows is cascaded to the output end of the first shift register unit 210 of the fourth stage.
[0083] The third scan line S3 of the pixel row corresponding to the third-stage first shift register unit 210 is connected to the output end of the first-stage second shift register unit (also called compensation stage 1), and the output end of the first-stage second shift register unit is connected to the first virtual pixel row.
[0084] The third scan line S3 of the pixel row corresponding to the first shift register unit 210 of the fourth stage is connected to the output end of the second shift register unit of the second stage (also called compensation stage 2), the output end of the second shift register unit of the first stage is connected to the first virtual pixel row, and the output end of the second shift register unit of the second stage is connected to the second virtual pixel row. Through such a design, it is avoided that when the last row of pixels cannot be compensated, the brightness difference caused by the inconsistency of the row load with the adjacent row pixels (i.e., the last two rows of pixels) is avoided. In this embodiment, the combination of two first shift register units 210 constitutes a GIP driving unit (such as the combination of the first shift register unit of the first stage and the first shift register unit of the second stage constitutes one GIP driving unit, and the combination of the third shift register unit and the fourth first shift register unit constitutes one GIP driving unit).
[0085] As Figure 6 Variations of the embodiments, such as Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a topological diagram of a scan driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0086] The scan driver includes n cascaded first shift register units 210 and two second shift register units 220 (i.e., n cascaded first shift register units match and connect n rows of pixels, where n is a natural number, such as n is selected from 128, 256, 512, 720, 1024, 1080, 2160, 4320, etc., depending on the resolution of the display panel).
[0087] The number of the first shift register units corresponds to the matching of the pixel rows (e.g., the display area includes i rows of pixel rows, i=1…n, n is the number of the first shift register units and the number of pixel rows). Each row of pixel rows is matched with a first shift register unit 210, that is, it includes i-level first shift register units 210 matching the corresponding i-th row of pixel rows.
[0088] The output end of the first shift register unit of the i-th stage is connected to the first scan line signal line S1 corresponding to the pixel row of the current stage (i.e., the i-th row), and the third scan line signal line S3 corresponding to the pixel row of the i-th row is connected to the output end of the first shift register of the i+2-th stage. The first scan line signal line is used to provide a first scan line signal, and the third scan line signal line is used to provide a third scan line signal. The first scan line signal line S1 is electrically connected to the gate of the fourth transistor T4 of the driving circuit of the matching pixel row (refer to Figure 3 ), the third scan line signal line S3 is electrically connected to the gate of the third transistor T3 of the driving circuit of the matching pixel row (reference Figure 3 ). The third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are IGZO transistors.
[0089] The third scan line signal line of the pixel row corresponding to the first shift register unit 210 of the n-1th level is connected to the output end of the first second shift register unit (compensation level 1), the third scan line signal line corresponding to the pixel row of the first shift register unit 210 of the nth level is connected to the output end of the second second shift register unit (compensation level 2), the output end of the first second shift register unit is connected to the first virtual pixel row, and the output end of the second second shift register unit is connected to the second virtual pixel row. The first virtual pixel row and the second virtual pixel row are collectively referred to as virtual pixel rows. The virtual pixel row provides a compensation signal (i.e., serves as a compensation module).
[0090] The second shift register unit 220 is cascaded with the first shift register unit 210, and the second shift register unit 220 is electrically connected to the virtual pixels in the border area. One of the two second shift register units 220 is cascaded with the first shift register unit 210, and is called the first-stage second shift register unit (also called the compensation stage 1), and the other is called the second-stage second shift register unit (also called the compensation stage 2). The two second shift register units 220 and the corresponding virtual pixel rows (see Figure 7a) is located in the border area. This design connects the cascade connection to the virtual pixel located in the border area (i.e., used to provide load compensation), which avoids the brightness difference caused by the load inconsistency between the last row of pixels and the adjacent pixel rows (i.e., the last two rows of pixels) when the pixels cannot be compensated by the normal compensation module. The simulation verifies that the current difference between adjacent pixel rows in this way is about 1.85%, and there is almost no brightness difference.
[0091] As Figure 6 A variation of the implementation method, the second shift register unit 220 is electrically connected to a virtual capacitor in the border area (the capacitance of the virtual capacitor is equal to or approximately equal to the capacitance of the total capacitance of the pixel rows in the light-emitting units of the adjacent i rows) to avoid brightness differences caused by different loads. Simulation has verified that the capacitance difference between adjacent rows under the implementation method proposed in the present application is 0.75pf, and there is almost no brightness difference.
