Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of display panel driving technology, and in particular to a GOA driving circuit and method, cascaded circuit and display panel. Background Technology

[0002] Gate-on-array (GOA) technology refers to integrating the gate driving circuit on the array substrate. It uses the same process as thin-film transistors to fabricate the line scanning driving circuit on the glass substrate. By directly integrating the circuitry controlling the gate onto the TFT-LCD panel, it achieves panel driving and display. This eliminates the need for traditional gate-on-array (COF) circuitry and improves module process yield.

[0003] Gate-of-Area (GOA) technology is favored by consumers because it can reduce the bezel of displays. However, since GOA technology places the gate-of-area (GOA) circuit on the display itself, it is susceptible to problems. When the display is in a low-temperature environment, the GOA circuit may not drive sufficiently, resulting in reduced transistor current and affecting the gate circuit's output (Gout). Additionally, when electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs on the display, the gate circuit output may also become abnormal. Furthermore, external stresses, such as pressure or mechanical deformation of the display, can alter the characteristics of the TFTs in the GOA circuit, affecting the display's Gout output. Finally, external disturbances and signal interference can also affect the display's Gout output, leading to display abnormalities, impacting display quality, and reducing the user experience.

[0004] In summary, there is a need for a method that can avoid abnormal gate output (Gout) to improve display quality and enhance product competitiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In existing technologies, when the display panel is affected by external environmental temperature, static electricity, external signal interference, or mechanical deformation, the GOA driving circuit outputs abnormally, which in turn leads to display abnormalities.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, a GOA driving circuit and method, a cascaded circuit, and a display panel are proposed. By setting two pull-down units in the GOA driving circuit and performing two pull-down operations on the current GOA driving circuit in the subsequent two rows of driving, the incomplete pull-down of the input level of the output unit of the GOA driving circuit is avoided. This solves the problem in the prior art where the display panel is affected by external environmental temperature, static electricity, external signal interference, or mechanical deformation, leading to display abnormalities.

[0024] The source of the fourth transistor is electrically connected to the second terminal of the second pull-down unit;

[0025] The third end of the second pull-down unit is connected to the second common connection point.

[0026] In a second aspect, a cascaded circuit includes a plurality of GOA driving circuits and GOA signal line units as described in the first aspect, wherein each GOA driving circuit is electrically connected to a clock signal line, a forward scan signal line, a reverse scan signal line and a low-level signal line corresponding to the GOA signal line unit.

[0027] The gate of the forward scan startup unit transistor of the GOA driving circuit corresponding to the first row of gate lines is electrically connected to the startup signal line. The output terminal of the GOA driving circuit corresponding to the nth row of gate lines is electrically connected to the gate of the forward scan startup unit transistor of the GOA driving circuit corresponding to the (n+1)th row of gate lines. The second pull-down unit of the GOA driving circuit corresponding to the nth row of gate lines is electrically connected to the output terminal of the GOA driving circuit corresponding to the (n+1)th row of gate lines. The first pull-down unit of the GOA driving circuit corresponding to the nth row of gate lines is electrically connected to the output terminal of the GOA driving circuit corresponding to the (n+2)th row of gate lines.

[0028] Thirdly, a GOA driving method employs the cascaded circuit described in the second aspect, comprising:

[0029] Step 100: Start the nth row GOA driving circuit, output driving signal to the gate line of the nth row, and input a high-level start signal to the (n+1)th row GOA driving circuit to start the (n+1)th row GOA driving circuit.

[0051] The technical solutions of this invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0055] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0056] In existing technologies, display panels can experience abnormal output from the GOA drive circuit when exposed to external environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations, static electricity, external signal interference, or mechanical deformation, leading to display malfunctions. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a GOA driving circuit in the prior art. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a cascaded circuit in the prior art. When the Gout output in the GOA driver circuit is abnormal, it is usually because the first common contact potential is not fully pulled down, causing the subsequent clock signal (CK signal) to pass through the third transistor T3 of the output unit. This results in an abnormal output of Gout from the output unit of the GOA driver circuit, affecting normal display. For example, when the display is in forward scan (forward scan signal line FW is high, reverse scan signal line BW is low), after the output Gout1 of the first row's GOA driver circuit outputs a high level, Gout1 simultaneously provides the start signal input to the start signal STV of the second row's GOA driver circuit GOA2. When the next CK signal is input to the drain of T3 of GOA2, Gout2 will output a high level. This high level is then connected to the RST position of GOA1, i.e. Figure 1 The gate of the second transistor T2 is low-level (BW), which passes through T2 and reaches the first common junction, pulling down the P point of GOA1. At this time, the gate of the third transistor T3 is low-level, turning off T3 and preventing subsequent CK from passing through T3, thus avoiding abnormal output of Gout1. However, when the display is under special conditions (such as low temperature, ESD, external stress, external disturbances, signal coupling, etc.), the P point potential may not be fully pulled down, or there may be abnormal output from the previous stage's Gout, which may prevent the P point potential from being pulled low, affecting the normal display of subsequent Gout.

[0057] To address the above problems, a GOA driving circuit and method, a cascaded circuit, and a display panel are proposed.

[0058] Firstly, a GOA driving circuit, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the driving timing of the cascaded circuit in this application. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the module connection of the GOA driving circuit in this application; it is used to drive the corresponding nth row gate line, including a forward scan start unit, a reverse scan start unit, a first pull-down unit, a second pull-down unit, and an output unit; the output terminal of the forward scan start unit is connected to the output terminal of the reverse scan start unit, the first pull-down unit, the second pull-down unit, and the output unit; the first pull-down unit is also electrically connected to the second pull-down unit, and the second pull-down unit is also electrically connected to the output unit; the second pull-down unit is electrically connected to the output terminal of the output unit of the (n+1)th row gate line, and is used to pull down the input terminal level of the output unit of the nth row gate line once when the (n+1)th row gate line is driven to output; the first pull-down unit is electrically connected to the output terminal of the output unit of the (n+2)th row gate line, and is used to pull down the input terminal level of the output unit of the nth row gate line a second time when the (n+2)th row gate line is driven to output; where n is a natural number. By setting two pull-down units in the GOA driver circuit and performing two pull-down operations on the current GOA driver circuit in the subsequent two rows of driving, the incomplete pull-down of the input level of the output unit of the GOA driver circuit is avoided. This solves the problem in the prior art where the display panel is affected by external ambient temperature, static electricity, external signal interference or mechanical deformation, leading to abnormal display.

[0059] like Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the GOA driving circuit in this application. The forward scan startup unit and the reverse scan startup unit include a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2, respectively. The gate of the first transistor T1 and the gate of the second transistor T2 are electrically connected to the startup signal line and the reset signal line, respectively. The drain of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the forward scan signal line FW, and the source of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the reverse scan signal line BW. The source of the first transistor T1 and the drain of the second transistor T2 are connected together.

[0061] like Figure 3The first pull-down unit includes a fourth transistor; the first terminal of the second pull-down unit and the drain of the fourth transistor are connected to the first common connection point P; the gate of the fourth transistor is electrically connected to the output terminal of the output unit of the (n+2)th row gate line; the source of the fourth transistor is electrically connected to the second terminal of the second pull-down unit; and the third terminal of the second pull-down unit is connected to the second common connection point.

[0062] Secondly, a cascaded circuit, such as Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the cascaded circuit in this application; it includes multiple GOA driving circuits and GOA signal line units of the first aspect. Each GOA driving circuit is electrically connected to the clock signal line CK, forward scan signal line FW, reverse scan signal line BW, and low-level signal line VGL corresponding to the GOA signal line unit, respectively. The gate of the forward scan start-up unit transistor of the GOA driving circuit GOA1 corresponding to the first row of gate lines is electrically connected to the start-up signal line. The output terminal of the GOA driving circuit GOAn corresponding to the nth row of gate lines is electrically connected to the gate of the forward scan start-up unit transistor of the GOA driving circuit GOAn+1 corresponding to the n+1th row. The second pull-down unit of the GOA driving circuit GOAn corresponding to the nth row of gate lines is electrically connected to the output terminal of the GOA driving circuit GOAn+1 corresponding to the n+1th row. The first pull-down unit of the GOA driving circuit GOAn corresponding to the nth row of gate lines is electrically connected to the output terminal of the GOA driving circuit GOAn+2 corresponding to the n+2th row.

[0063] like Figure 4 The first dropdown unit is as follows: Figure 4 RST2 in the middle, the second drop-down unit is as follows Figure 4 In the circuit, RST1, the output terminal Gout1 of the GOA drive circuit GOA1 corresponding to the first row of gate lines is electrically connected to the start terminal STV (gate of the first transistor T1) of the forward scan start unit of the GOA drive circuit GOA2 corresponding to the second row of gate lines. When Gout1 outputs a high level, the GOA drive circuit GOA2 corresponding to the second row of gate lines can be started. The output Gout2 of the GOA drive circuit GOA2 corresponding to the second row of gate lines is electrically connected to the second pull-down unit RST1 of the GOA drive circuit GOA1 corresponding to the first row of gate lines. When its output is high level, the first common contact P of the GOA drive circuit GOA1 corresponding to the first row of gate lines is pulled down once through the second pull-down unit RST1. Furthermore, the output Gout2 of the GOA drive circuit GOA3 corresponding to the third row of gate lines is electrically connected to the first pull-down unit RST2 of the GOA drive circuit GOA1 corresponding to the first row of gate lines. When its output is high level, the first common contact P of the GOA drive circuit GOA1 corresponding to the first row of gate lines is pulled down twice through the first pull-down unit RST2.

[0065] Preferably, such as Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 7 A schematic flowchart of a specific embodiment of step 100 is shown. Step 100 includes: Step 110, when the gate line of the nth row GOA driving circuit is the initial row, the gate of the forward scan start-up unit transistor of the nth row GOA driving circuit is electrically connected to the start-up signal line STV to obtain a high-level start-up signal; Step 120, the output unit of the nth row GOA driving circuit outputs a high-level signal to the gate of the forward scan start-up unit transistor of the (n+1)th row GOA driving circuit to input a high-level start-up signal.

[0067] Preferably, step 300 includes: step 310, the output terminal of the output unit of the (n+2)th row GOA driving circuit inputs a high-level start signal to the gate of the positive sweep start unit transistor of the (n+3)th row GOA driving circuit, and at the same time performs a secondary pull-down on the nth row GOA driving circuit through the first pull-down unit of the nth row GOA driving circuit.

[0068] Fourthly, a display panel including the cascaded circuitry of the second aspect.

[0069] The GOA driving circuit and method, cascaded circuit and display panel of the present invention, by setting two pull-down units in the GOA driving circuit and pulling down the current GOA driving circuit twice in the subsequent two rows of driving, avoids the incomplete pull-down of the input level of the output unit of the GOA driving circuit, and solves the problem of display abnormality caused by the display panel in the prior art when it is affected by the external ambient temperature, static electricity, external signal interference or mechanical deformation.
