DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0023] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, component or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, component or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "includes a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, component or device including the element. In addition, components, features, and elements with the same name in different embodiments of the present application may have the same meaning or different meanings, and their specific meanings need to be determined by their explanation in the specific embodiment or further combined with the context of the specific embodiment.
[0024] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this article, a first component may also be referred to as a second component, and similarly, a second component may also be referred to as a first component. The terms "or" and "and / or" used herein are interpreted as inclusive, or mean any one or any combination. Therefore, "A, B or C" or "A, B and / or C" means "any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A, B and C". Exceptions to this definition will only occur when the combination of components, functions, steps or operations is inherently mutually exclusive in some way.
[0025] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0026] In the subsequent description, the suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" used to represent components are only used to facilitate the description of this application and have no specific meaning. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used interchangeably.
[0027] The following is an explanation of the terms that may be involved in this application, as follows: 1. Display Driver Integrated Circuit (DDIC) is one of the main control components of the display panel, also known as the "brain" of the panel. The main function of DDIC is to send drive signals and data to the display panel in the form of electrical signals to control the brightness and color of the screen, so that letters, pictures and other image information can be displayed on the screen.
[0028] 2. The OLED panel in the display panel is manufactured based on the electroluminescent properties of organic materials. When current passes through the organic light-emitting layer, electrons and holes recombine in the light-emitting layer and release photons, thereby achieving light emission. Each pixel is an independent light-emitting unit and does not require a backlight. For some low-power OLED panels, due to their self-luminous characteristics, the driving voltage requirements are lower than traditional LCD panels. For the display driver chip of the OLED panel, the GOA drive buffer circuit can operate within a lower voltage range, making the design of medium-voltage devices in the display driver chip possible.
[0029] 3. The GOA drive buffer circuit is used to drive the GOA (Gate On Array or Gate Driver On Array) drive signal (or gate active drive signal) to the GOA scanning circuit on the display panel.
[0030] 4. Cost issues caused by high-voltage devices used in traditional DDIC designs: (1) Large chip area: Since high-voltage devices need to withstand higher voltages, their device structures are relatively complex. For example, thicker oxide layers are required to increase voltage resistance, or special device structure designs are used to disperse the electric field strength to avoid breakdown. This results in the area of a single high-voltage device being larger than that of a low-voltage or medium-voltage device, which in turn increases the area of the entire DDIC chip. The increase in chip area will directly lead to an increase in the cost per chip, because the number of chips that can be cut out within the same wafer area is reduced; (2) A large number of masks: In the traditional DDIC manufacturing process, masks are used to guide how the photoresist on the wafer is solidified to form the physical structure of the circuit. The complex structural design of high-voltage devices requires more masks to achieve different levels of graphic transfer. For example, in some high-voltage device processes, additional masks may be required to form special structural layers of high-voltage devices. The increase in the number of masks will not only increase the complexity of the manufacturing process, but also lead to an increase in the cost of masks, because the manufacturing cost of each mask is relatively high. In addition, the increase in the number of masks will also extend the manufacturing cycle, because each additional mask requires additional lithography, exposure, development and other steps.
[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a GOA driving buffer circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: a first branch, a second branch and a signal output terminal OUT.

[0037] In one embodiment, the operating voltage of the low-voltage transistor can be, but is not limited to, between 1.2V and 3.3V, and is used to process and transmit low-voltage signals. Since the low-voltage transistor has a low operating voltage and relatively low power consumption, it is suitable for use in high-integration and low-power display driver chips. The switching speed of the low-voltage transistor is fast and can meet the needs of high-speed data processing and transmission. The device size of the low-voltage transistor is small, which is conducive to improving the integration of the chip. Optionally, the application of the low-voltage transistor: (1) Digital logic circuit: used to process and transmit digital signals, such as clock circuits, control circuits, data processing circuits, etc.; (2) Interface circuit: used for signal interaction with external control circuits (such as microcontrollers, system processors).

[0111] Among them, the first switch transistor M1 to the tenth switch transistor M10, the positive voltage level shift circuit LVS1, the negative voltage level shift circuit LVS2, etc. are all medium voltage devices.
[0112] Optionally, the first substrate switching circuit is used to switch the substrate level of the substrate of the first switching transistor M1 to control the voltage difference between the gate, source and drain of the first switching transistor M1 within the medium voltage operating range, so that the first switching transistor M1 and its preceding devices meet the withstand voltage requirements of medium voltage devices.
[0113] Optionally, the second substrate switching circuit is used to switch the substrate level of the substrate of the second switching transistor M2 to control the voltage difference between the gate, source and drain of the second switching transistor M2 within the medium voltage operating range, so that the second switching transistor M2 and its preceding devices meet the withstand voltage requirements of medium voltage devices.
[0114] Optionally, the signal output terminal OUT is used to output a positive voltage high level VGH and a negative voltage high level VGL according to actual timing requirements.
[0115] Optionally, the circuit works as follows: (1) When the level of the first node A is the positive high voltage level VGH, since the first switch transistor M1 is a PMOS tube and the gate is grounded, the first switch transistor M1 is turned on, and the positive high voltage level VGH is transmitted from the first node A to the third node C through the first switch transistor M1; (2) When the level of the second node B is the ground level GND, since the level of the third node C is the positive high voltage level VGH at this time, the second switch transistor M2 is an NMOS tube with the gate grounded, and the substrate level of the substrate of the second switch transistor M2 needs to be switched to the ground level GND to meet the withstand voltage requirement of the medium voltage device, so the fifth switch transistor M5 is turned on, the sixth switch transistor M6 is turned off, and the substrate of the second switch transistor M2 is switched to be connected to the second node B, so that the substrate level of the substrate of the second switch transistor M2 is switched to the ground level GND; (3) When the level of the second node B is the negative high voltage level VGL, since the second switch transistor M2 is an NMOS tube and the gate is grounded, the second switch transistor M2 is turned on, and the negative high voltage level VGL is transmitted from the second node B to the third node C through the second switch transistor M2; (4) When the level of the first node A is the ground level GND, since the level of the third node C is the negative high voltage level VGL at this time, the first switch transistor M1 is a PMOS tube and the gate is grounded. The substrate level of the substrate of the first switch transistor M1 needs to be switched to the ground level GND to meet the withstand voltage requirement of the medium voltage device. At this time, the third switch transistor M3 is turned on, the fourth switch transistor M4 is turned off, and the substrate of the first switch transistor M1 is switched to be connected to the first node A, so that the substrate level of the substrate of the first switch transistor M1 is switched to the ground level GND.
[0116] Among them, the positive voltage high level signal alternates between the positive voltage high level VGH and the ground level GND; the negative voltage high level signal alternates between the negative voltage high level VGL and the ground level GND. When the positive voltage high level signal is the positive voltage high level VGH, the negative voltage high level signal is the ground level GND; when the negative voltage high level signal is the negative voltage high level VGL, the positive voltage high level signal is the ground level GND.
[0117] See also Figure 3 , the simulation waveform obtained based on the working principle of the above circuit: When the level of the first node A is the positive high voltage level VGH, the level of the second node B is the ground level GND, and the level of the third node C is the positive high voltage level VGH, at this time, the substrate level of the first switch transistor M1 is the positive high voltage level VGH, and the substrate level of the second switch transistor M2 is switched to the ground level GND, meeting the withstand voltage requirements of the medium voltage device; When the level of the first node A is the ground level GND, the level of the second node B is the negative high voltage level VGL, and the level of the third node C is the negative high voltage level VGL, at this time, the substrate level of the second switching transistor M2 is the negative high voltage level VGL, and the substrate level of the first switching transistor M1 is switched to the ground level GND, meeting the withstand voltage requirements of the medium voltage device.
[0118] Optionally, high voltage / non-high voltage can be a description of transistors only, in which non-high voltage tubes are used in both the level shift circuit and the substrate switching circuit. The substrate switching circuit can be used to ensure that the substrate level of the first switching transistor M1 and the substrate level of the second switching transistor M2 are within the medium voltage operating range during the high and low level transmission of the GOA drive signal, respectively, and the voltage difference between their gate, source, and drain is within the medium voltage operating range, thereby playing a protective role. The GOA drive signal output by the GOA drive buffer circuit without high voltage devices in this example is transmitted to the GOA scanning circuit on the OLED panel, so that the GOA scanning circuit drives the pixel unit on the OLED panel.
[0119] Since the level range of the third node C is VGH~VGL (belonging to the high voltage domain range), which exceeds the operating voltage range of the medium voltage transistor, the first switch transistor M1 and the second switch transistor M2 can block this part of the high voltage and protect the medium voltage transistors of the previous stage corresponding to the first switch transistor M1 and the second switch transistor M2 respectively.
[0120] In summary, the GOA drive buffer circuit without high-voltage devices provided in this example can be used for application scenarios of low-voltage and low-power devices in mobile terminals (such as mobile phones, wearable devices, etc.). The GOA drive buffer circuit in DDIC can replace high-voltage devices with medium-voltage devices, reduce the number of masks, and reduce chip costs.
[0121] The GOA drive buffer circuit without high-voltage devices provided in this example utilizes the characteristics that the PMOS tube transmits a high level and the NMOS tube transmits a low level, and sets a first switch transistor M1 and a second switch transistor M2 to achieve time-sharing transmission of the positive high-voltage level VGH and the negative high-voltage level VGL voltage. In addition, the gates of the first switch transistor M1 and the second switch transistor M2 are connected to GND, and no external bias voltage is required, making the circuit simpler.
[0122] The GOA driving buffer circuit without high-voltage devices provided in this example utilizes a substrate switching circuit to ensure that the medium-voltage devices always meet the withstand voltage requirements during the switching of the positive / negative high level at the signal output end.
