Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display device. Background Art

[0002] In oxide semiconductor display panels, the gate drive circuit is usually implemented by integrating it on the display panel. This design can reduce production costs and improve product integration.

[0003] However, due to the characteristics of oxide semiconductor materials, the threshold voltage of transistors made from them may shift. In particular, if the threshold voltage of the output control transistor in the gate drive circuit is too low, the display panel may experience leakage. This leakage can prevent the scan signal output terminal from maintaining a stable low level during the non-selection period, causing display anomalies such as horizontal streaks on the display screen.

[0004] Currently, the industry typically addresses this issue by optimizing transistor manufacturing processes or adding compensation circuits. However, these solutions either increase process difficulty and cost or complicate the circuit structure, hindering product yield and reliability. Therefore, effectively addressing the leakage problem in gate drive circuits in oxide semiconductor display panels without significantly increasing process difficulty and cost has become a pressing technical challenge for the industry.

When the source driver chip provides voltage to the first power input terminal, the output impedance of the output terminal of the source driver chip corresponding to the first power input terminal is greater than 1 megohm.

[0011] In the above display device, the display device further includes a flexible circuit board, which connects the power management chip and the display panel; and a first resistor is provided on the flexible circuit board between the power management chip and the second power input terminal.

[0020] The specific implementation methods of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The terms "first", "second" and similar words do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different technical features. The term "plurality" and similar words mean two or more, unless otherwise expressly limited.

[0022] The embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the display device provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a display panel, a timing controller (not shown in the figure), a source driver circuit DIC and a power management chip PMIC. The display panel can be, for example, a liquid crystal display panel.

[0024] The display panel includes a display area AA and a non-display area. The display area AA is provided with m×n pixel units P arranged in an array, where m and n are integers greater than 1. The non-display area is located around the display area AA and is used to arrange the drive circuit and various signal lines.

[0028] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a display device, including a display panel, the display panel including a plurality of pixels and at least one gate drive circuit. Two gate drive circuits are arranged on both sides of the display area AA of the display panel.

[0032] The voltage value of the first power input terminal VSSG is different from the voltage value of the second power input terminal VSSQ.

[0033] The voltage value of the first power input terminal VSSG is higher than the voltage value of the second power input terminal VSSQ.

[0034] The voltage value of the first power input terminal VSSG is -8.8V to -7.2V, and the voltage value of the second power input terminal VSSQ is -10.8V to -9.2V.

[0035] Preferably, the voltage value of the first power input terminal VSSG is -8V, and the voltage value of the second power input terminal VSSQ is -10V.

[0036] The display device also includes a source driver chip DIC and a power management chip PMIC. The source driver chip DIC is electrically connected to the second power input terminal VSSQ, and the power management chip PMIC is electrically connected to the first power input terminal VSSG. The source driver chip DIC provides a voltage to the second power input terminal VSSQ, while the power management chip PMIC provides a voltage to the first power input terminal VSSG. The voltage value of the first power input terminal VSSG is -8 volts, and the voltage value of the second power input terminal VSSQ is -10 volts. By setting these different voltage values, the leakage current of the first transistor T21 can be effectively suppressed.

[0037] The embodiments of the present application provide two solutions for implementing dual VSS power supplies:

[0038] In the first solution, the source driver chip DIC and the power management chip PMIC are both electrically connected to the first power input terminal VSSG and the second power input terminal VSSQ. That is, in addition to the source driver chip DIC being electrically connected to the second power input terminal VSSQ and the power management chip PMIC being electrically connected to the first power input terminal VSSG, the source driver chip DIC is also electrically connected to the first power input terminal VSSG, and the power management chip PMIC is also electrically connected to the second power input terminal VSSQ.

[0039] The display device further includes a flexible circuit board, which connects the power management chip PMIC and the display panel. On the flexible circuit board, a first resistor is provided between the power management chip PMIC and the second power input terminal VSSQ.

[0040] The flexible printed circuit board uses a multi-layer metal routing structure to transmit the VSSG and VSSQ signals. Specifically, the flexible printed circuit board uses a four-layer metal structure, with the first and fourth metal layers used to transmit the VSSG signal, and the second and third metal layers used to transmit the VSSQ signal. Adjacent metal layers are connected by an array of vias to form an electrical connection.

[0041] The source driver chip DIC includes a plurality of output terminals. When the source driver chip DIC provides a voltage to the first power input terminal VSSG, the output terminal of the source driver chip DIC corresponding to the first power input terminal VSSG has an output impedance greater than 1 megohm. In other words, when the power management chip PMIC provides a voltage to the first power input terminal VSSG, the output impedance of the output terminal of the source driver chip DIC connected to the first power input terminal VSSG is greater than 1 megohm.

[0042] On the flexible circuit board, a first resistor is provided between the power management chip PMIC and the second power input terminal VSSQ, and the first resistor is used for voltage division.

[0043] In the second solution, the source driver chip DIC is only electrically connected to the second power input terminal VSSQ, and the power management chip PMIC is only electrically connected to the first power input terminal VSSG. This solution can be implemented in the following two ways:

[0044] Method 1: The voltage output by the source driver chip DIC is different from the voltage output by the power management chip PMIC. Specifically, the source driver chip DIC outputs a voltage of -10 volts, and the power management chip PMIC outputs a voltage of -8 volts, directly forming the required voltage difference.

[0045] At this time, the source driver chip DIC is insulated from the first power input terminal VSSG, the source driver chip DIC is electrically connected to the second power input terminal VSSQ, the power management chip PMIC is insulated from the second power input terminal VSSQ, and the power management chip PMIC is electrically connected to the first power input terminal VSSG.

[0046] Method 2: The voltage value output by the source driver chip DIC is the same as the voltage value output by the power management chip PMIC, but a second resistor is set between the source driver chip DIC and the second power input terminal VSSQ, and a third resistor is set between the power management chip PMIC and the first power input terminal VSSG, and the resistance of the third resistor is greater than the resistance of the second resistor. The voltage difference between the two input terminals is achieved through different voltage divider resistors.

[0051] The gate driver sub-circuit further includes a twenty-second transistor T11, a twenty-third transistor TrQ, a twenty-fourth transistor T31, a twenty-fifth transistor T41, a twenty-sixth transistor T81, and a capacitor Cb. The gate of the twenty-second transistor T11 is electrically connected to the start signal input terminal STV / the second-stage transmission signal output terminal STn-4, the source of the twenty-second transistor T11 is electrically connected to the start signal input terminal STV / the second-stage transmission signal output terminal STn-4, and the drain of the twenty-second transistor T11 is electrically connected to the first node Q.

One plate of the capacitor Cb is electrically connected to the scan signal output terminal Gn, and the other plate of the capacitor Cb is electrically connected to the first node Q.

[0052] In the gate driving sub-circuit of the display device of the present application, the first transistor T21 to the twenty-sixth transistor T81 are all N-type thin film transistors.

[0053] In the gate driver subcircuit of the display device of the present application, under normal operating conditions, the first power input terminal VSSG provides a voltage of -8 volts, and the second power input terminal VSSQ provides a voltage of -10 volts. A voltage difference of 2 volts is formed between the two power input terminals, which can effectively suppress leakage current of the first transistor T21.

[0054] Specifically, the potential of the first node Q is pulled down to the level of the second power input terminal VSSQ (-10 volts) via the third transistor T42 or the thirteenth transistor T43, and the potential of the scan signal output terminal Gn is pulled down to the level of the first power input terminal VSSG (-8 volts) via the second transistor T32 or the twelfth transistor T33. Because the source voltage (-8 volts) of the first transistor T21 (represented here as the source, since the source and drain of a thin-film transistor are interchangeable) is higher than its gate voltage (-10 volts), the gate-source voltage Vgs (represented here as the voltage difference between the gate and source, since the source and drain of a thin-film transistor are interchangeable) of the first transistor T21 is -2 volts, which is much lower than its threshold voltage. Even if the threshold voltage of the first transistor T21 is less than 0 volt, it can still be reliably turned off, thereby effectively preventing leakage.

[0055] In the gate driver subcircuit of the display device of the present application, when the start signal STV / second-stage transmission signal output terminal STn-4 of the current-stage gate driver subcircuit is high, the first node Q is charged to a high level. Under the control of the clock signal CKn, the scan signal output terminal Gn is pulled high via the first transistor T21. When the reset signal Reset is high, the first node Q is discharged to a low level via the twenty-third transistor TrQ. The first pull-down unit 101 (including the first inverter 1011 and the first pull-down maintainer 1012) and the second pull-down unit 102 (including the second inverter 1021 and the second pull-down maintainer 1022) operate alternately. When the first pull-down unit 101 is operating, the second node K is high and the third node P is low. When the second pull-down unit 102 is operating, the second node K is low and the third node P is high. This alternating operation reduces the operating time of each pull-down subcircuit and improves the reliability of the gate driver subcircuit.

[0056] When the touch signal input terminal TP is at a high level, the scan signal output terminal Gn is pulled down to the level of the first power input terminal VSSG via the twenty-sixth transistor T81, thereby realizing time division multiplexing of display driving and touch driving.

[0057] As an improvement, the display device of the present application further includes a temperature sensor for detecting the operating temperature of the display panel. This temperature sensor is implemented using an NTC thermistor, whose resistance changes with temperature with a sensitivity of no less than 4% / °C, allowing accurate detection of temperature changes of the display panel under different operating environments.

[0058] The display device adjusts the voltage values ​​of VSSG and VSSQ based on the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor. Specifically, within the low temperature range of -20°C to 0°C, the voltage difference between VSSG and VSSQ increases linearly with decreasing temperature, with an increase slope of 0.05V / °C. For example, at a temperature of -20°C, the voltage difference can reach 3V; at a temperature of -10°C, the voltage difference is approximately 2.75V; and at a temperature of 0°C, the voltage difference is 2.5V.

[0059] In the normal temperature range of 0° C. to 50° C., the voltage difference between the first power signal VSSG and the second power signal VSSQ remains constant at 2 V. This is because the characteristics of the oxide semiconductor device are relatively stable in this temperature range and no temperature compensation is required.

[0060] In the high-temperature range of 50°C to 85°C, the voltage difference decreases linearly with increasing temperature, with a slope of 0.02V / °C. For example, at 50°C, the voltage difference is 2V; at 70°C, the voltage difference is approximately 1.6V; and at 85°C, the voltage difference decreases to 1.5V. This dynamic adjustment method effectively adapts to the changing characteristics of oxide semiconductor devices at different temperatures.

[0061] Through the above-described technical solution, the display device of the present application can maintain a stable operating state in different temperature environments. In low-temperature environments, due to the reduced carrier mobility of the oxide semiconductor device, the leakage current itself is relatively small. Therefore, the voltage difference between the first power supply signal VSSG and the second power supply signal VSSQ can be appropriately reduced to reduce power consumption. In high-temperature environments, due to the drift of the threshold voltage of the oxide semiconductor device, the leakage current increases. By increasing the voltage difference, the ability to suppress transistor leakage current is strengthened, ensuring the normal operation of the circuit.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the first transistor T21 of the gate driver subcircuit serves as an output control transistor, with its gate electrically connected to the first node Q. The source of the third transistor T42 is electrically connected to the second power input terminal VSSQ, and its drain is electrically connected to the first node Q, thereby pulling the potential of the first node Q down to the voltage value of the second power input terminal VSSQ. The source of the second transistor T32 is electrically connected to the first power input terminal VSSG, and its drain is electrically connected to the scan signal output terminal Gn, thereby pulling the potential of the scan signal output terminal Gn down to the voltage value of the first power input terminal VSSG. Because the voltage value of the first power input terminal VSSG is higher than the voltage value of the second power input terminal VSSQ (for example, the first power input terminal VSSG is -8V and the second power input terminal VSSQ is -10V), the source (drain) voltage of the first transistor T21 is higher than its gate voltage, forming a negative gate-source voltage bias. This bias voltage can ensure that the control transistor is reliably turned off in the non-conducting state, thereby effectively suppressing the leakage current of the output control transistor in the gate drive circuit and solving the problem of abnormal horizontal stripes display in the display device.

[0063] The above is a detailed introduction to the embodiments of the present application. The contents of this specification should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.
