[0060] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different features of the provided invention. The embodiments of the components and configurations described below are provided as examples only and are not intended to be limiting. In addition, for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, the disclosure repeats reference symbols and / or numbers in each example, which in itself does not limit the relationship between the various embodiments and / or components discussed.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1Schematic diagram of the structure of the pixel circuit P, the light-emitting signal generating circuit 110 and the scanning signal generating circuit SR according to an embodiment of the present invention. The light-emitting signal generating circuit 110 and the scanning signal generating circuit SR are coupled to the pixel circuit P in the pixel array 10 of the display panel (not shown), and are configured to provide a variety of driving signals required by the pixel circuit P in a time-sharing manner. In the embodiment of the present invention, the driving signal includes but is not limited to the scanning signal RS[n], the data writing signal WS[n] and the light-emitting signal EM[n], etc., which can be used to control the operation of the transistors and capacitors in the pixel circuit P, and further control the light-emitting time and light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting element (e.g., light-emitting diode) therein.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, each row of the pixel array 10 includes a plurality of pixel circuits P, and each pixel circuit P can represent one of the first sub-pixel (e.g., a red sub-pixel), the second sub-pixel (e.g., a green sub-pixel), and the third sub-pixel (e.g., a blue sub-pixel).

[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram of a shift register 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The shift register 100 includes a plurality of light emitting signal generating circuits 110, and each light emitting signal generating circuit 110 includes a first circuit unit 111, a second circuit unit 112, and a third circuit unit 113 to sequentially drive corresponding pixel rows on the display panel. It should be understood that for the sake of simplicity, Figure 2 Only one set of luminous signal generating circuit 110 and its internal component circuits are marked.

[0064] Taking the first-stage light-emitting signal generating circuit 110 as an example, the first circuit unit 111 thereof generates a light-emitting signal according to the total clock signals XCKE and CKE, the first reference signal VGL and the second reference signal VGH ( Figure 2 The first-stage light-emitting signal generating circuit 110 (not shown) generates a total light-emitting signal EMT[1] to further control the second circuit unit 112 and the third circuit unit 113 connected in series to generate the first light-emitting signal RB[1] and the second light-emitting signal G[1] to the corresponding pixel circuits P in the first pixel row. The total light-emitting signal EMT[1] generated by the first-stage light-emitting signal generating circuit 110 is also transmitted to the second-stage light-emitting signal generating circuit 110 to trigger the second-stage light-emitting signal generating circuit 110 to continue to operate. Similarly, the pixel circuits P in the 1st row to the nth row are sequentially driven by the first light-emitting signals RB[1] to RB[n] and the second light-emitting signals G[1] to G[n].

[0065] Specifically, the second circuit unit 112 and the third circuit unit 113 are coupled to the first circuit unit 111, wherein the second circuit unit 112 generates the first light-emitting signal RB[1] according to the total light-emitting signal EMT[1] generated by the first circuit unit 111, the first reference signal VGL, the second reference signal VGH and the first clock signal RB_CK, and the third circuit unit 113 generates the second light-emitting signal G[1] according to the total light-emitting signal EMT[1] generated by the first circuit unit 111, the first reference signal VGL, the second reference signal VGH and the second clock signal G_CK.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, each pixel circuit P in the first pixel row receives the first light emitting signal RB[1] supplied by the second circuit unit 112 or the second light emitting signal G[1] supplied by the third circuit unit 113 according to the color sub-pixel it represents. Figure 2 In the example shown, the pixel circuit P serving as a red sub-pixel and the pixel circuit P serving as a blue sub-pixel share the same light-emitting signal, i.e., receive the first light-emitting signal RB[1] supplied by the second circuit unit 112; and the pixel circuit P serving as a green sub-pixel independently uses another set of light-emitting signals, i.e., receives the second light-emitting signal G[1] supplied by the third circuit unit 113.

[0067] Specifically, each level of the light-emitting signal generating circuit 110 drives the second circuit unit 112 and the third circuit unit 113 through a single first circuit unit 111, and can independently separate the color sub-pixels to be controlled separately, so as to optimize the light-emitting time of the red sub-pixels, the blue sub-pixels and the green sub-pixels respectively and improve the overall efficiency. Compared with the architecture of pushing one group of circuit units to provide light-emitting signals, this architecture of pushing multiple groups of circuit units can more effectively save the number of pins and the number of wires required for the driving signal.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a light emitting signal generating circuit 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates the internal circuit structure of a first circuit unit 111 , a second circuit unit 112 , and a third circuit unit 113 .

[0069] The first circuit unit 111 includes transistors T1 to T11, a transistor T15, and capacitors C1 and C2. The first end of the transistor T9 receives the previous stage total light emitting signal EMT[n-1] (or the start signal VSTV), and the second end of the transistor T9 is coupled to the first end of the transistor T10. The second end of the transistor T10 receives the next stage total light emitting signal EMT[n+1] (or the end signal VEND). The control ends of the transistors T9 and T10 receive the selection signals U2D and D2U, respectively. The selection signals U2D and D2U are used to set the scanning direction of the multi-stage light emitting signal generating circuit 110 in the display panel. When the selection signal U2D is a logic low voltage, the previous stage total light emitting signal EMT[n-1] is transmitted to the node Q4, and when the selection signal D2U is a logic low voltage, the next stage total light emitting signal EMT[n+1] is transmitted to the node Q4.

[0070] It should be understood that in applications where the first circuit unit 111 includes the selection signals U2D and D2U, Figure 2 The total luminous signals EMT[1] to EMT[n-1] between each stage of the luminous signal generating circuit 110 can also be transmitted in the reverse direction to drive the second circuit unit 112 and the third circuit unit 113 connected in series to generate corresponding luminous signals when operating normally.

[0071] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 The first circuit unit 111 receives several total clock signals (for example, the total clock signals CKE and XCKE), the first reference signal VGL and the second reference signal VGH, and the previous stage total light-emitting signal EMT[n-1] or the subsequent stage total light-emitting signal EMT[n+1] received by the node Q4, and outputs the total light-emitting signal EMT[n] between the transistor T2 and the transistor T3 according to the above signals.

[0072] The transistor T11 and the transistor T15 are the output stage of the first circuit unit 111, and are configured as a coupling circuit 111a to transmit the first reference signal VGL and the second reference signal VGH to the second circuit unit 112 and the third circuit unit 113, so that the second circuit unit 112 generates the first light-emitting signal RB[1] at the output end according to the total light-emitting signal EMT[n], the first reference signal VGL, the second reference signal VGH and the first clock signal RB_CK, and the third circuit unit 113 generates the second light-emitting signal G[1] according to the total light-emitting signal EMT[n], the first reference signal VGL, the second reference signal VGH and the second clock signal G_CK.

[0073] In detail, the second circuit unit 112 and the third circuit unit 113 are coupled to the node QR of the coupling circuit 111a. The first end of the transistor T11 receives the first reference signal VGL, the second end thereof is coupled to the node QR, and the control end thereof is coupled to the node Q1. The transistor T11 is turned on or off according to the control signal received at the node Q1, and then transmits the first reference signal VGL to the node QR during the on-time. The first end of the transistor T15 is coupled to the node QR, the second end thereof receives the second reference signal VGH, and the control end thereof is coupled to the node Q3. The transistor T15 is turned on or off according to the control signal received at the node Q3, and then transmits the second reference signal VGH to the node QR during the on-time.

[0074] Each of the second circuit unit 112 and the third circuit unit 113 includes a plurality of transistors and a capacitor. The second circuit unit 112 includes a capacitor C4a and transistors T12a-T14a, and the third circuit unit 113 includes a capacitor C4b and transistors T12b-T14b.

[0075] The first end of the transistor T12a is coupled to the node QR, and the control end thereof receives the first reference signal VGL. The first end of the transistor T13a receives the first clock signal RB_CK, and the control end thereof is coupled to the second end of the transistor T12a at the node QA. The first end of the transistor T14a is coupled to the second end of the transistor T13a at the node QD1, and the second end thereof receives the second reference signal VGH. The first end of the capacitor C4a is coupled to the node QA, and the second end thereof is coupled to the node QD1 to output the first light emitting signal RB[n], thereby driving the pixel circuit P in the nth row as the red sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel.

[0076] The first end of the transistor T12b is coupled to the node QR, and the control end thereof receives the first reference signal VGL. The first end of the transistor T13b receives the second clock signal G_CK, and the control end thereof is coupled to the second end of the transistor T12b at the node QB. The first end of the transistor T14b is coupled to the second end of the transistor T13b at the node QD2, and the second end thereof receives the second reference signal VGH. The first end of the capacitor C4b is coupled to the node QB, and the second end thereof is coupled to the node QD2 to output the second light emitting signal G[n], thereby driving the pixel circuit P in the nth row as a green sub-pixel.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 1 is a timing waveform diagram of a driving signal of a pixel circuit P according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the driving signal comprises a scan signal RS[n], a data write signal WS[n], a first light emitting signal RB[n] and a second light emitting signal G[n].

[0078] The scan signal RS[n] and the data write signal WS[n] are generated by Figure 1 The first light emitting signal RB[n] and the second light emitting signal G[n] are provided by the scanning signal generating circuit SR shown in the figure, while the first light emitting signal RB[n] and the second light emitting signal G[n] are provided by the light emitting signal generating circuit 110 of the present invention. It can be found that since the second light emitting signal G[n] supplied to the red sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel is relatively independent of the first light emitting signal RB[n] supplied to the green sub-pixel, the light emitting time P2 (or duty cycle) of the pixel circuit P as the green sub-pixel can be independently controlled.

[0079] It should be understood that the present invention can select any two of the red sub-pixel, the blue sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel to be controlled by the same light-emitting signal according to actual needs, and the remaining one is independently controlled by another light-emitting signal. In this way, not only the overall light-emitting efficiency can be improved, but also the number of pins and wires can be minimized.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a shift register 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The shift register 200 includes a plurality of light emitting signal generating circuits 210, and each light emitting signal generating circuit 210 includes a first circuit unit 211, a second circuit unit 212, a third circuit unit 213, and a fourth circuit unit 214 to sequentially drive corresponding pixel rows on the display panel.

[0081] Compared to Figure 2 The difference of the shift register 100 shown in the figure is that the pixel circuits P as the red sub-pixel, the blue sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel are all independently controlled by the second circuit unit 212, the third circuit unit 213 and the fourth circuit unit 214 and the first light-emitting signal R[n], the second light-emitting signal G[n] and the third light-emitting signal B[n] supplied by them. In such an embodiment, the light-emitting time of each sub-pixel of the three colors can be independently adjusted to achieve the optimized overall light-emitting efficiency, and the light-emitting signal generating circuit 210 and the fourth circuit unit 214 are controlled independently. Figure 1 The light emitting signal generating circuit 110 also has a one-push-multiple circuit unit structure, which can also effectively save the number of pins and wires required for the driving signal.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a light emitting signal generating circuit 210 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates the internal circuit structure of a first circuit unit 211, a second circuit unit 212, a third circuit unit 213, and a fourth circuit unit 214. Since the circuit operation and structure of the light emitting signal generating circuit 210 are similar to those of the light emitting signal generating circuit 110, and the newly added fourth circuit unit 214 is also similar to the first circuit unit 211, the second circuit unit 212, and the third circuit unit 213, no further details will be given here.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a timing waveform diagram of a driving signal of a pixel circuit P according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the driving signal includes a scanning signal RS[n], a data writing signal WS[n], a first light emitting signal R[n], a second light emitting signal G[n] and a third light emitting signal B[n]. The scanning signal RS[n] and the data writing signal WS[n] are also generated by Figure 1 The first light emitting signal R[n], the second light emitting signal G[n] and the third light emitting signal B[n] are provided by the light emitting signal generating circuit 210 of the present invention.

[0084] It can be found that since the first light emitting signal R[n], the second light emitting signal G[n] and the third light emitting signal B[n] supplied to the red sub-pixel, the blue sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel are all independent light emitting signals, the light emitting time P1, P2 and P3 of each color sub-pixel can be independently controlled. In this way, not only the light emitting efficiency can be optimized, but also the number of pins and the number of wires can be reduced.

[0085] In summary, the shift register and the light-emitting signal generating circuit of the present invention supply light-emitting signals to each pixel row through a one-push-multiple circuit unit architecture, which can not only effectively save the number of pins and wires required for the driving signal, but also further isolate the color sub-pixels that need to be more regulated, thereby improving the overall light-emitting efficiency.

[0086] Although the present invention has been disclosed as above in various embodiments, they are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application.
