[0066] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.
[0067] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0068] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the present disclosure do not represent any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, "including" or "comprising" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing in front of the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0069] It should be noted that the transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other devices with the same characteristics. Since the source and drain of the transistors used are symmetrical, there is no difference between the source and drain. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to distinguish the source and drain of the transistor, one of the electrodes is called the first electrode, the other electrode is called the second electrode, and the gate is called the control electrode. In addition, transistors can be divided into N-type and P-type according to the characteristics of the transistor. The following embodiments are described with N-type transistors. When N-type transistors are used, the first electrode is the source of the N-type transistor, the second electrode is the drain of the N-type transistor, and when the gate inputs a high level, the source and drain are turned on, and the P-type is the opposite. It can be imagined that the use of P-type transistors is something that a person skilled in the art can easily think of without creative labor, so it is also within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure. In addition, according to the material of the active layer in the transistor, the transistor can be divided into oxide thin film transistors, low temperature polysilicon thin film transistors and other types. Generally, oxide thin film transistors are N-type transistors, and low temperature polysilicon thin film transistors are P-type transistors.
[0070] Among them, in the present disclosure, "first level signal" / "first level potential" refers to a signal / potential that can control the conduction of the transistor after being input to the control electrode of the transistor, and "second level signal" refers to a signal / potential that can control the cutoff of the transistor after being input to the control electrode of the transistor. In some embodiments, the first level signal can be a high level signal, and the first level potential is a high level potential; the second level signal can be a low level signal, and the second level potential is a low level potential; in other embodiments, the first level signal is a low level signal, and the first level potential is a low level potential; the second level signal is a high level signal, and the second level potential is a high level potential. Among them, for N-type transistors, the first level signal is a high level signal, and the first level potential is a high level potential; the second level signal is a low level signal, and the second level potential is a low level potential. For P-type transistors, the first level signal is a low level signal, and the first level potential is a low level potential; the second level signal is a high level signal, and the second level potential is a high level potential.

The working phase of the pixel circuit includes a data writing phase and a light-emitting phase. In the data writing phase, the pixel circuit responds to the scanning signal on the gate line to write the data voltage and the threshold voltage into the storage capacitor, thereby performing threshold compensation; in the light-emitting phase, the pixel circuit responds to the light-emitting control signal on the light-emitting control line to provide a driving current for the light-emitting device.

For example, the above-mentioned light-emitting device can be an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), a quantum dot light-emitting diode (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes, referred to as QLED) or a micro light-emitting diode (Micro Light Emitting Diodes, referred to as Micro LED), etc.

[0073] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a shift register provided in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shift register includes: an input subcircuit 10 , a first control subcircuit 20 , a second control subcircuit 30 , a first output subcircuit 40 and a second output subcircuit 50 .
[0074] The input subcircuit 10 is electrically connected to the input terminal EIN, the first node n1, and the first clock signal terminal CLK of the shift register, and is configured to transmit the input signal of the input terminal EIN to the first node n1 in response to the control of the first clock signal terminal CLK. The first control subcircuit 20 is electrically connected to the first node n1, the second node n2, the first clock signal terminal CLK, and the first level terminal V1, and is configured to transmit the signal of the first clock signal terminal CLK to the second node n2 in response to the control of the first node n1; and transmit the first level signal of the first level terminal V1 to the second node n2 in response to the control of the first clock signal terminal CLK. The second control subcircuit 30 is connected to the second node n2, the second clock signal terminal CKB, and the second level terminal V2, and is configured to transmit the second level signal of the second level terminal V2 to the first node n1 in response to the control of the second node n2 and the second clock signal terminal CKB. The first output sub-circuit 40 is electrically connected to the first level terminal V1, the first node n1 and the output terminal EOUT of the shift register, and is configured to transmit the first level signal of the first level terminal V1 to the output terminal EOUT of the shift register in response to the control of the first node n1. The second output sub-circuit 50 is electrically connected to the first node n1, the second node n2, the second clock signal terminal CKB, the second level terminal V2 and the output terminal EOUT, and is configured to conduct the second level terminal V2 with the output terminal EOUT in response to the control of the first node n1, the second node n2 and the second clock signal terminal CKB. Optionally, the second output sub-circuit 50 connects the second level terminal V2 with the output terminal EOUT in response to the second level signal of the first node n1, the first level signal of the second node n2 and the first level signal of the second clock signal terminal CKB; and, in response to the second level signal of the first node n1, the first level signal of the second node n2 and the second level signal of the second clock signal terminal CKB, maintains the on-off state of the second level terminal V2 and the output terminal EOUT; and, in response to the first level signal of the first node n1 and the second level signal of the second node n2, disconnects the second level terminal V2 from the output terminal EOUT.
[0075] In an example, the first control subcircuit 20 may specifically include a fifth transistor M5 and a sixth transistor M6, wherein the control electrode of the fifth transistor M5 is electrically connected to the first node n1, the first electrode is electrically connected to the first clock signal terminal CLK, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the second node n2. The control electrode of the sixth transistor M6 is electrically connected to the first clock signal terminal CLK, the first electrode is electrically connected to the first level terminal V1, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the second node n2. The second control subcircuit 30 may specifically include a seventh transistor M7 and a second transistor M2, wherein the control electrode of the seventh transistor M7 is electrically connected to the second node n2, the first electrode is electrically connected to the second level terminal V2, and the second electrode is connected to the first electrode of the second transistor M2 at the third node n3; the control electrode of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected to the second clock signal terminal CKB, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the first node n1.
[0076] Figure 2 for Figure 1 The driving timing diagram of the shift register in a normal state is shown in FIG. 1 . In this embodiment, each transistor is an N-type transistor, the first level signal is a high level signal, and the second level signal is a low level signal. Figure 2 As shown, in the first stage t1, the input terminal EIN and the second clock signal terminal CKB both provide a second level signal, and the first clock signal terminal CLK provides a first level signal. At this time, the sixth transistor M6 is turned on, thereby transmitting the first level signal of the first level terminal V1 to the second node n2. In addition, the first transistor M1 is turned on, thereby transmitting the second level signal of the input terminal EIN to the first node n1, thereby controlling the third transistor M3 to be turned off. The second output subcircuit 50 maintains the disconnection state between the second level terminal V2 and the output terminal EOUT. The output terminal EOUT keeps outputting the first level signal of the previous stage.
[0077] In the second stage t2, the input terminal EIN and the first clock signal terminal CLK both provide a second level signal, and the second clock signal terminal CKB provides a first level signal. At this time, the second control subcircuit 30 transmits the second level signal of the second level terminal V2 to the first node n1, so that the first output subcircuit 40 disconnects the first level terminal V1 from the output terminal EOUT. The fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 in the first control subcircuit 20 are both turned off, and the second node n2 is still at the first level potential. The second output subcircuit 50 connects the second level terminal V2 to the output terminal EOUT, and the output terminal EOUT outputs the second level signal.
[0078] In the third stage t3, the input terminal EIN and the second clock signal terminal CKB both provide a second level signal, and the first clock signal terminal CLK provides a first level signal. At this time, the input sub-circuit 10 transmits the second level signal of the input terminal EIN to the first node n1, so that the first output sub-circuit 40 disconnects the first level terminal V1 from the output terminal EOUT. The sixth transistor M6 of the first control sub-circuit 20 is turned on, so that the first level signal of the first level terminal V1 is transmitted to the second node n2; the second output sub-circuit 50 maintains the conduction state between the second level terminal V2 and the output terminal EOUT in response to the second level signal of the first node n1, the first level signal of the second node n2, and the second level signal of the second clock signal terminal CKB.
[0079] In the fourth stage t4, the input terminal EIN and the second clock signal terminal CKB both provide a first level signal, and the first clock signal terminal CLK provides a second level signal. The working process of this stage is the same as that of the second stage.
[0080] In the fifth stage t5, the input terminal EIN and the first clock signal terminal CLK both provide a first level signal, and the second clock signal terminal CKB provides a second level signal. The input subcircuit 10 transmits the first level signal of the input terminal EIN to the first node n1, so that the first output subcircuit 40 connects the first level terminal V1 with the output terminal EOUT, and the output terminal EOUT outputs the first level signal. In addition, the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 of the first control subcircuit 20 are turned on, so that the first level terminal V1 and the first level signal of the first clock signal terminal CLK are transmitted to the second node n2. The second output subcircuit 50 disconnects the second level terminal V2 from the output terminal EOUT in response to the first level signal of the first node n1.
[0081] In the sixth stage t6, both the input terminal EIN and the second clock signal terminal CKB provide a first level signal, and the second clock signal terminal CKB provides a first level signal. At this time, the input sub-circuit 10 disconnects the first node n1 from the input terminal EIN, and the first node n1 maintains the first level potential of the previous stage, and the first output sub-circuit 40 keeps the output terminal EOUT and the first level terminal V1 connected. In addition, the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, thereby transmitting the second level signal of the first clock signal terminal CLK to the second node n2; the second output sub-circuit 50 disconnects the second level terminal V2 from the output terminal EOUT in response to the first level signal of the first node n1.
[0082] Optionally, the working process of the shift register also includes between the third stage t3 and the fourth stage t4: a first holding stage t31 and a second holding stage t32, wherein the signal timing of the shift register in the first holding stage t31 is the same as that in the second stage t2, and the signal timing of the second holding stage t32 is the same as that in the third stage t3, which will not be repeated here.
[0083] During the operation of the shift register, when the transistors do not leak, the shift register can operate normally. However, when the transistor leaks, the normal output of the shift register cannot be guaranteed. For example, if the threshold voltage Vth of the fifth transistor M5 is greater than 0, when the signals of the first node n1 and the first clock signal terminal CLK are both second-level signals, the fifth transistor M5 is turned off because the voltage difference Vgs between the control electrode and the first electrode of the fifth transistor M5 is less than the threshold voltage. If the threshold voltage of the fifth transistor M5 shifts to less than 0, when the signals of the first node n1 and the first clock signal terminal CLK are both second-level signals, the fifth transistor M5 cannot be turned off, resulting in leakage of the second node n2; when the second node n2 drops to the second-level potential, the output terminal EOUT always outputs the first-level signal. Similarly, when the threshold voltage of the transistors in the input sub-circuit 10 and the second control sub-circuit 30 shifts to less than 0, leakage will occur at the third node n3. In this case, the second level signal output by the output terminal EOUT is normal, but when the signal of the first clock signal terminal CLK changes, the signal of the output terminal EOUT will also fluctuate.
[0084] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a shift register provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, the shift register includes an input subcircuit 10, a first control subcircuit 20, a second control subcircuit 30, a first output subcircuit 40, a second output subcircuit 50 and a first anti-leakage electronic circuit 60.

The first output subcircuit 40 is configured to transmit the first level signal of the first level terminal V1 to the output terminal EOUT of the shift register in response to the control of the first node n1. The second output subcircuit 50 is configured to connect the second level terminal V2 to the output terminal EOUT in response to the control of the first node n1, the second node n2 and the second clock signal terminal CKB. The second output subcircuit 50 is configured to, in response to the second level signal of the first node n1, the first level signal of the second node n2 and the first level signal of the second clock signal terminal CKB, conduct the second level terminal V2 and the output terminal EOUT; in response to the second level signal of the first node n1, the first level signal of the second node n2 and the second level signal of the second clock signal terminal CKB, maintain the conduction state of the second level terminal V2 and the output terminal EOUT; and, in response to the first level signal of the first node n1 and the second level signal of the second node n2, disconnect the output terminal EOUT from the second level terminal V2. The first anti-leakage electronic circuit 60 is configured to provide a first level signal to the second node n2 at least when the input terminal EIN provides a first level signal.
[0086] and Figure 1 Compared to the shift register shown in Figure 2 The shift register also includes a first leakage prevention electronic circuit 60, and the first leakage prevention electronic circuit 60 provides a first level signal to the second node n2 at least when the input terminal EIN provides a first level signal, thereby preventing the potential of the second node n2 from decreasing due to leakage of the transistor in the second control subcircuit 30, thereby reducing or preventing output abnormalities caused by the potential of the second node n2.

[0106] In addition, in the fifth stage t5 and the interval stage t5-1, since the second clock signal terminal CKB provides a low level signal, the second transistor M2 and the ninth transistor M9 are turned off. Since the first node n1 receives a high level signal, the tenth transistor M10 is turned on, thereby transmitting the low level signal of the second level terminal V2 to the fifth node n5, thereby keeping the fourth transistor M4 in the off state.

In addition, since the second clock signal terminal CKB provides a high level signal, the second transistor M2 and the ninth transistor M9 are turned on. Since the first node n1 is at a high level potential, the tenth transistor M10 is turned on, thereby transmitting the low level signal of the second level end V2 to the fifth node n5, thereby keeping the fourth transistor M4 in the off state.
