AI Technical Summary
In the conventional In-cell touch technology, coupling the scanning line with the touch block when transmitting the scanning signal causes the common voltage to be pulled down, resulting in a change in the voltage difference between the pixel electrode and the common electrode in the pixel unit, and thus a horizontal pattern occurs during image display.
By introducing a signal generation unit and a signal adjustment unit into the scan driving circuit, the scanning signal is controlled to maintain different potentials for at least two consecutive periods, reducing the coupling effect of adjacent scanning lines on the first row scanning lines, thereby reducing the coupling effect on the common electrode.

Technical Field

[0002] With the increase of the Internet of Things, the human-computer interaction is becoming more and more frequent, and the demand for touch display screens is also increasing. The In-cell touch technology (In-cell refers to a method of embedding the touch panel function into the liquid crystal pixels) has been favored by the market because of its advantages such as narrow bezel, IC (chip) integrated display and touch functions, reduced IC cost, reduced module thickness and mature process. The Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI) technology is a commonly used method in the In-cell touch technology. The principle of the TDDI technology is usually self-capacitance touch. The common electrode of the entire panel is divided into multiple touch blocks. Each touch block is connected to the touch trace through a via, and then connected to the ICtouch (touch) channel through the touch trace.
[0003] However, in the current design, when the scanning line transmits the scanning signal to the pixel unit, it usually couples with the touch block, causing the common voltage to be pulled down, resulting in a change in the voltage difference between the pixel electrode and the common electrode in the pixel unit, and further causing horizontal stripes to appear when the touch display panel performs image display.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of a display device provided for an embodiment of the present application. AsFigure 1 As shown, the display device 100 includes a touch display panel 10 and a power supply module 30. The power supply module 30 is disposed on the back surface of the touch display panel 10, that is, the non-display surface of the touch display panel 10. The power supply module 30 is used to provide a power voltage for the touch display panel 10 to perform image display. In the embodiment of the present application, the display device 100 may be a portable electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is Figure 1 a schematic plan layout diagram of the touch display panel in
[0036] As Figure 2 shown, the touch display panel 10 includes a display area 10a. The display area 10a is provided with a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array, as well as m data lines S1~Sm and n scan lines G1~Gn, where m and n are natural numbers greater than 1.
[0037] Among them, the n scan lines G1~Gn extend along a first direction F1 and are insulated from each other and arranged in parallel along a second direction F2. The m data lines S1~Sm extend along the second direction F2 and are insulated from each other and arranged in parallel along the first direction F1. The first direction F1 is perpendicular to the second direction F2.
[0038] In the non-display area of the touch display panel 10, the display device 100 is further provided with a timing control circuit 11, a data driving circuit 12, and a scan driving circuit 20 for driving the pixel units to perform image display.
[0039] Among them, the timing control circuit 11 is electrically connected to the data driving circuit 12 and the scan driving circuit 20, and is used to control the working timing of the data driving circuit 12 and the scan driving circuit 20, that is, to output corresponding timing control signals to the data driving circuit 12 to the scan driving circuit 20 to control when to output corresponding scan signals and data signals.
[0040] The data driving circuit 12 is electrically connected to the m data lines S1~Sm, and is used to transmit the data signal (Data) to be displayed to a plurality of pixel units P in the form of a data voltage through the m data lines S1~Sm. The pixel unit P transmits the received data signal to a pixel electrode (not labeled) to control a voltage difference formed between the pixel electrode and a common electrode ( Figure 3 ) so as to drive the display medium (liquid crystal molecules in this embodiment) to rotate to emit light for image display.
[0041] The scan driving circuit 20 is used to be electrically connected to the n scan lines G1~Gn, and is configured to output scan signals through the n scan lines G1~Gn to control when the pixel unit P receives data signals. Among them, the scan driving circuit 20 outputs scan signals from the scan lines G1, G2, ……, Gn in sequence according to the scan cycle from the n scan lines G1~Gn in the order of position arrangement.
[0042] In this embodiment, the circuit elements in the scan driving circuit 20 and the pixel unit P in the array substrate 10c are fabricated in the array substrate 10c in the same manufacturing process, that is, the GOA (Gate Driver on Array) technology.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 3 for the planar layout schematic diagram of the common electrode, Figure 4 for the time-sharing driving schematic diagram of touch and display of the touch display panel, Figure 5 and Figure 2 for the scan signal output timing diagram in
[0044] As shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 the touch display panel 10 includes a plurality of common electrodes Vcom arranged in an array, and the plurality of common electrodes Vcom are driven and displayed by a time-sharing driving method. The specific driving and displaying method is that when the touch display panel 10 performs touch display, it includes multiple frame display scanning periods that are continuous in time. As shown in the figure, the a-th frame display scanning period and the (a + 1)-th frame display scanning period are any two adjacent frame display scanning periods among the multiple frame display scanning periods, where a is an integer greater than or equal to 1. Among them, each frame display scanning period includes a display period and a touch period. During the display period, each common electrode Vcom inputs a common voltage, and the pixel electrodes in the pixel unit P form a voltage difference based on the data signal and the common voltage in the common electrode Vcom to drive the display medium to perform image display. During the touch period, each common electrode Vcom serves as a touch electrode to input a touch signal for sensing touch instructions.
[0045] Among them, during the display period of a frame of image, n scan lines G1 to Gn sequentially output scan signals. When the scan lines transmit the scan signals, they will interact with each other through coupling, and then interact with the common electrode Vcom, resulting in a change in the common voltage on the common electrode. When the scan lines extend along the first direction F1 and are located at the middle position of each common electrode Vcom, that is, the scan lines covered by the common electrode Vcom, the coupling effects of the upper and lower adjacent scan lines on each scan line can cancel each other out, thereby eliminating the coupling effect on the common electrode Vcom. However, at the edge position of the common electrode Vcom, the coupling effect on the scan line cannot be cancelled, which further increases the coupling effect on the common electrode Vcom and causes a change in the voltage of the common electrode Vcom.
[0046] For example, the second scan line G2, the third scan line G3, and the fourth scan line G4 extend along the first direction F1 and are located at the middle position of the common electrode Vcom. That is, in the thickness direction of the array substrate 10c, the common electrode Vcom covers the second scan line G2, the third scan line G3, and the fourth scan line G4. Among them, during the process of the third scan line G3 outputting the scan signal, the falling edge of the second scan signal has a downward coupling effect on the third scan signal, resulting in a decrease in the voltage of the third scan signal, while the rising edge of the fourth scan signal has an upward coupling effect on the third scan signal, resulting in an increase in the voltage of the third scan signal, thereby canceling the upward coupling effect of the second scan signal and making the coupling effect of the third scan line G3 on the common electrode Vcom smaller. Similarly, the coupling effects of other scan lines set at the middle position on the common electrode Vcom are also smaller.
[0047] The first scan line G1 is located at the edge position of the common electrode Vcom. During the process of the first scan line outputting the scan signal, the second scan line G2 to the sixth scan line G6 sequentially output the second scan signal to the sixth scan signal. Among them, the rising edges of the second scan signal to the sixth scan signal all have an upward coupling effect on the first scan signal, resulting in the cumulative coupling effect on the first scan signal that cannot be cancelled, thereby causing a large upward coupling effect on the first scan signal, resulting in an increase in the voltage of the first scan signal, thereby causing an increase in the coupling effect of the first scan line G1 on the common electrode Vcom, resulting in a difference in the voltage of the common electrode Vcom at the position corresponding to the first scan line G1 and the voltage of the common electrode Vcom at the positions corresponding to the second scan line G2 to the sixth scan line G6, thereby causing a horizontal stripe phenomenon when the display panel displays an image.
[0048] Based on this, the present application provides a scan driving circuit, which adjusts the scan signal to eliminate the horizontal stripe phenomenon in image display caused by the coupling effect between the scan line and the common electrode Vcom.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 6, Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of the circuit architecture of a scan driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0050] As Figure 6 shown, the scan driving circuit 20 includes a plurality of cascaded scan driving units 20a. The scan driving circuit 20 includes n cascaded scan driving units 20a, six clock signal terminals (the first clock signal terminal CLK1 to the sixth clock signal terminal CLK6), a start signal STV, a reset signal R, and a low voltage terminal VSS, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
[0051] Among them, in the scan driving circuit 20, each scan driving unit correspondingly outputs a scan signal to one of the scan lines in the display area 10a. During the display process of one frame of image, n scan driving units sequentially output n scan signals to n scan lines G1~Gn.
[0052] The six clock signal terminals CLK1-CLK6 are used to respectively output six clock signals to control the n scan driving units 20a to sequentially output scan signals. The start signal STV is the enabling start signal of the first scan driving unit 20a, and the other scan driving units use the cascading signal output by the cascaded scan unit as the start signal. The low voltage terminal VSS is used to provide a low voltage for the nodes in the scan driving unit.
[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the number of clock signals can also be set to other numbers according to specific needs. For example, it can also be set to 2, 4, 8, etc. The present application does not limit this.
[0054] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is Figure 6 the equivalent circuit schematic diagram of the scan driving unit in
[0055] As Figure 7 shown, the scan driving unit 20a includes a signal generation unit 21 and a signal adjustment unit 22. The signal generation unit 21 is electrically connected to the signal adjustment unit 22, the input terminal IN, the i-th clock signal terminal CLKi, and the scan signal output node OUT, and is used to output a scan signal of the first potential to the scan signal output node OUT under the control of the clock signal input by the i-th clock signal terminal CLKi according to the control signal input by the input terminal IN. Among them, i is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The signal adjustment unit 22 is used to control the scan signal to maintain at the first potential in the first period and at the second potential in the second period in at least two consecutive periods.
[0056] When adjusting the scanning signal in two consecutive time periods, the signal adjustment unit 22 is electrically connected to the (i + 1)-th clock signal terminal CLK(i + 1) and the (i + 2)-th clock signal terminal CLK(i + 2), and is used to adjust the scanning signal of the first potential under the control of the clock signals output by the (i + 1)-th clock signal terminal CLK(i + 1) and the (i + 2)-th clock signal terminal CLK(i + 2), so as to control the scanning signal to be at the first potential in the first time period and at the second potential in the second time period.
[0057] In another embodiment, the scanning signal can also be adjusted in four consecutive time periods.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 For Figure 7 the schematic diagram of the output waveform of the scan signal in Figure 9 and
[0084] As Figure 8 shown, taking the adjustment of the i-th scan signal in four consecutive time periods as an example, the scan driving unit 20a outputs the i-th scan signal including six consecutive time periods. In the first time period t1, the scan signal output node OUT outputs a scan signal at the first potential. In the second time period t2, the scan signal output node OUT outputs a scan signal at the second potential. In the third time period t3, the scan signal output node OUT outputs a scan signal at the first potential. In the fourth time period t4, the scan signal output node OUT outputs a scan signal at the second potential. In the fifth time period t5, the scan signal output node OUT outputs a scan signal at the first potential. In the sixth time period t6, the scan signal output node OUT outputs a scan signal at the first potential. Wherein, 1 ≤ i ≤ n.
[0085] As Figure 9As shown, taking the i-th scanning line Gi, which is the first scanning line covered by a common electrode Vcom, as an example, the i-th scanning line Gi outputs the i-th scanning signal through the first period t1 to the sixth period t6. During the output process of the i-th scanning signal, the coupling effects of the scanning signals output by the (i + 1)-th scanning line Gi+1 at the rising and falling edges at the beginning and end of the second period t2 cancel each other out, and the coupling effects at the rising and falling edges at the beginning and end of the fourth period t4 cancel each other out. The coupling effect at the rising edge at the initial moment of the sixth period t6 is not cancelled, thus having an upward coupling effect on the i-th scanning signal.
[0086] Similarly, the coupling effect of the scanning signal output by the (i + 2)-th scanning line Gi+2 at the rising edge at the end of the sixth period t6 is not cancelled, thus having an upward coupling effect on the i-th scanning signal. The coupling effect of the scanning signal output by the (i + 4)-th scanning line Gi+4 at the rising edge at the end of the sixth period t6 is not cancelled, thus having an upward coupling effect on the i-th scanning signal. The coupling effect of the scanning signal output by the (i + 6)-th scanning line Gi+6 at the rising edge at the end of the sixth period t6 is not cancelled, thus having an upward coupling effect on the i-th scanning signal.
[0087] However, the coupling effects of the scanning signal output by the (i + 3)-th scanning line Gi+3 at the rising and falling edges at the beginning and end of the fourth period t4 cancel each other out, and the coupling effects at the rising and falling edges at the beginning and end of the sixth period t6 cancel each other out, thus having no upward or downward coupling effect on the i-th scanning signal. The coupling effects of the scanning signal output by the (i + 5)-th scanning line Gi+5 at the rising and falling edges at the beginning and end of the sixth period t6 cancel each other out, thus having no upward or downward coupling effect on the i-th scanning signal.
[0088] Therefore, through the adjustment of the scanning signal in the embodiment of the present application, the coupling effects of multiple scanning lines under the coverage of the same common electrode Vcom on the first scanning line are reduced, thereby reducing the coupling effect of the first scanning line on the common electrode Vcom, and further weakening or eliminating the horizontal stripe phenomenon during image display.
