[0089] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer and more understandable, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments can be implemented in multiple different forms. It is easy for those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited only to the contents described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other arbitrarily. To keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the detailed descriptions of some known functions and known components are omitted. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures can refer to the general design.
[0090] The ratio of the drawings in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in the actual process, but is not limited thereto. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display device and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the drawings. The drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes, values, etc. shown in the drawings.
[0091] The ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", etc. in this specification are set to avoid confusion of components, rather than to limit the quantity.
[0092] In this specification, for convenience, terms indicating orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are used to describe the positional relationship of components with reference to the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this specification and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the components changes appropriately according to the directions describing each component. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms described in the specification and can be replaced appropriately according to the situation.
[0093] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "coupled" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate member, or the internal communication of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0094] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region where the current mainly flows.
[0095] In this specification, in order to distinguish between the two poles of a transistor other than the gate electrode, one of the poles is directly described as the first pole and the other as the second pole. Among them, the first pole can be the drain electrode and the second pole can be the source electrode, or the first pole can be the source electrode and the second pole can be the drain electrode. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the direction of current changes during circuit operation, etc., the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" sometimes swap with each other. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be swapped with each other.
[0096] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes cases where components are connected together through an element having a certain electrical effect. The "element having a certain electrical effect" is not particularly limited as long as it can transfer electrical signals between the components to be connected. Examples of the "element having a certain electrical effect" include not only electrodes and wirings, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.
[0097] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is -10° or more and 10° or less. Therefore, it also includes a state where the angle is -5° or more and 5° or less. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is 80° or more and 100° or less. Therefore, it also includes a state where the angle is 85° or more and 95° or less.
[0098] In this specification, "film" and "layer" can be swapped with each other. For example, sometimes "conductive layer" can be changed to "conductive film". Similarly, sometimes "insulating film" can be changed to "insulating layer".
[0099] In this specification, the "same-layer setting" adopted means a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures through the same patterning process, and their materials can be the same or different. For example, the materials of the precursors for forming multiple structures with the same-layer setting are the same, and the finally formed materials can be the same or different.
[0100] Triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc. in this specification are not strictly defined and can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc. There can be some small deformations caused by tolerances, and there can be chamfers, arc edges, and deformations, etc.
[0101] The "about" in this disclosure means not strictly defining the boundary and allowing values within the process and measurement error ranges.

[0112] Figure 4a It is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit. As Figure 4aAs shown, the pixel driving circuit has a 4T2C structure and may include four transistors (a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, and a fourth transistor T4) and two storage capacitors (a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2). The pixel driving circuit is connected to six signal lines (a first scan signal line S1, a second scan signal line S2, a third scan signal line S3, a data signal line DATA, a first power supply line VDD, and a second power supply line VSS).
[0113] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit may include a first node N1, a second node N2, and a third node N3. The first node N1 is respectively connected to the second pole of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode of the third transistor T3, and the first end of the first capacitor C1. The second node N2 is respectively connected to the second pole of the second transistor T2, the first pole of the third transistor T3, the second end of the first capacitor C1, and the first end of the second capacitor C2. The third node N3 is respectively connected to the second pole of the third transistor T3 and the second pole of the fourth transistor T4.
[0114] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 may be referred to as a Write Switch transistor. The gate electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first scan signal line S1, the first pole of the first transistor T1 is connected to the data signal line DATA, and the second pole of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first node N1.
[0115] In an exemplary embodiment, the second transistor T2 may be referred to as a Display Switch transistor. The gate electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second scan signal line S2, the first pole of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the second pole of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second node N2.
[0116] In an exemplary embodiment, the third transistor T3 may be referred to as a Driver transistor. The gate electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first node N1, the first pole of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second node N2, and the second pole of the third transistor T3 is connected to the third node N3.
[0117] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth transistor T4 may be referred to as an Auto Zero transistor. The gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the third scan signal line S3, the first pole of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second power supply line VSS, and the second pole of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the third node N3.
[0118] In an exemplary embodiment, a first end of a first capacitor C1 is connected to a first node N1, and a second end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to a second node N2. A first end of a second capacitor C2 is connected to the second node N2, and a second end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to a first power supply line VDD.
[0119] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device EL may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), including a stacked first electrode (anode), an organic light-emitting layer, and a second electrode (cathode). The first electrode of the light-emitting device XL is connected to a third node N3, and the second electrode of the light-emitting device EL is connected to a common voltage line VCOM.
[0120] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal of the first power supply line VDD may be a continuously provided high-level signal, and the signals of the second power supply line VSS and the common voltage line VCOM may be continuously provided low-level signals.
[0121] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the fourth transistor T4 may be P-type transistors (PMOS), or may be N-type transistors (NMOS). For example, the first transistor T1 to the fourth transistor T4 are all P-type transistors. Using transistors of the same type in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the process difficulty of the display substrate, and improve the yield of the product.
[0122] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the fourth transistor T4 may include P-type transistors and N-type transistors. For example, the first transistor T1 to the third transistor T3 may be P-type transistors, and the fourth transistor T4 may be an N-type transistor, as Figure 4a shown. In an exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1 to the fourth transistor T4 are all P-type transistors. For example, the first transistor T1 to the fourth transistor T4 may all be P-type transistors, as Figure 4b shown.
[0123] Figure 5a is Figure 4a a driving timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit shown. As Figure 5a shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the working process of the pixel driving circuit may include:
[0124] The first stage A1 can be called the initialization stage. The signals of the first scan signal line S1 and the second scan signal line S2 are low-level signals, and the signal of the third scan signal line S3 is a high-level signal, causing the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the fourth transistor T4 to conduct. The conduction of the first transistor T1 allows the bias voltage Vofs output by the data signal line DATA to be written into the first capacitor C1, and the potential Vs of the first node N1 (i.e., the gate electrode of the third transistor T3) is Vs = Vofs. The conduction of the second transistor T2 allows the first power supply voltage ELVDD output by the first power supply line VDD to be written into the second node N2, and the potential Vg of the second node N2 (i.e., the first pole of the third transistor T3) is Vg = ELVDD. At this time, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the third transistor T3 is Vgs = ELVDD - Vofs, and the stored voltage V cs of the first capacitor C1 is V = ELVDD - Vofs, and the potential Vd of the third node N3 (i.e., the second pole of the third transistor T3) is Vd = Vg + Vth, preparing for the discharge in the next stage. Among them, ELVDD - V ofs >|Vth|, where Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3.
[0125] The second stage A2 can be called the self-discharge stage. The signal of the third scan signal line S3 is a high-level signal, and the fourth transistor T4 continues to conduct. The signal of the first scan signal line S1 changes from a low-level signal to a high-level signal, causing the first transistor T1 to disconnect first, and the first node N1 floats. Subsequently, the signal of the second scan signal line S2 changes from a low-level signal to a high-level signal, causing the second transistor T2 to disconnect. The second node N2 forms a loop through the conducting third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the conducting fourth transistor T4 and starts to discharge, and the potential of the second node N2 drops. Because the first node N1 floats, the voltage difference across the first capacitor C1 remains unchanged, so the potential of the first node N1 drops as the potential of the second node N2 drops. Due to the body effect of the third transistor T3, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the third transistor T3 remains unchanged, so the equivalent threshold voltage |V th_EF | of the third transistor T3 gradually increases as the potential of the second node N2 drops. The equivalent threshold voltage |V th_EF | of the third transistor T3 is |V| = α(ELVDD - Vs) + |Vth|, where α is the body effect coefficient. When the equivalent threshold voltage |V th_EF | of the third transistor T3 increases to the gate-source voltage Vgs of the third transistor T3, the third transistor T3 disconnects, and the second node N2 stops discharging.
[0126] The third stage A3 can be referred to as the data writing stage and the threshold compensation stage. The signal of the second scan signal line S2 is a high-level signal, and the second transistor T2 remains continuously off. The signal of the third scan signal line S3 is a high-level signal, and the fourth transistor T4 remains continuously on. The signal of the first scan signal line S1 changes from a high-level signal to a low-level signal, turning on the first transistor T1. The conduction of the first transistor T1 causes the data voltage Vdata output by the data signal line DATA to be written into the first node N1, and the potential of the first node N1 changes from Vofs to Vdata. Since the second node N2 is floating, threshold compensation can be achieved in this stage.
[0127] The fourth stage A4 can be referred to as the light-emitting stage. The signals of the second scan signal line S2 and the third scan signal line S3 are low-level signals, and the signal of the first scan signal line S1 is a high-level signal, turning on the second transistor T2 and turning off the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4. The conduction of the second transistor T2 causes the power supply voltage output by the first power supply line VDD to provide a driving voltage to the first pole of the light-emitting device EL through the conducting second transistor T2 and third transistor T3, driving the light-emitting device EL to emit light.
[0128] In the light-emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is not affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the driving current, ensuring the uniform display brightness of the display product, and improving the display effect of the entire display product.
[0129] Figure 5b For Figure 4b a driving timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit shown. As Figure 5b shown, Figure 4b the working process of the pixel driving circuit in it can include the first stage A1 to the fourth stage A4, Figure 5b which Figure 5a differs from Figure 4a and Figure 5a in that the timing of the third scan signal line S3 is different. In Figure 4b and Figure 5b the fourth transistor T4 is an N-type transistor (conducts at high level and turns off at low level), and in
[0130] During the light-emitting stage, there is a situation where the second transistor T2 turns on first and the fourth transistor T4 turns off later. If the second transistor T2 turns on earlier than the fourth transistor T4 turns off, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 will flow through the fourth transistor T4 and the light-emitting device EL. Since the resistance of the light-emitting device EL is relatively large and part of the driving current passes through the fourth transistor T4, the driving current flowing through the light-emitting device EL is small, resulting in the light-emitting device EL not being able to emit light before the fourth transistor T4 turns off, but there is current generated, increasing the power consumption of the pixel driving circuit; the resistance of the fourth transistor T4 is relatively small in the conducting state. A spike current is formed by the driving current flowing through the fourth transistor T4 in a short period of time after the second transistor T2 turns on and before the fourth transistor T4 turns off, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the pixel driving circuit and will cause problems with the reliability of the display device. Thus, the display device has technical problems of high power consumption and unstable operation of the pixel driving circuit.
[0131] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a gate driving circuit. The gate driving circuit includes a logic operation circuit. The logic operation circuit includes a second input terminal, a third input terminal, a display switch signal terminal, and a display reset signal terminal; the second input terminal is configured to receive a second input signal, the third input terminal is configured to receive a third input signal, the display switch signal terminal is configured to output a display switch signal, and the display reset signal terminal is configured to output a display reset signal;
[0132] Under the control of the second input signal and the third input signal, during the light-emitting stage, the time when the display switch signal terminal outputs a valid level signal in the display switch signal is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal stops outputting a valid level signal in the display reset signal.
[0133] In the gate driving circuit provided by the present disclosure, during the light-emitting stage when the gate driving circuit drives at least one pixel driving circuit, the time when the display switch signal terminal outputs a valid level signal in the display switch signal is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal stops outputting a valid level signal in the display reset signal, thereby avoiding the formation of spike current in the pixel driving circuit, enabling the pixel driving circuit to operate stably, and reducing the power consumption of the pixel driving circuit.
[0134] Such as Figure 6aAs shown, it is a structural diagram of a gate driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The gate driving circuit may include a logic operation circuit 200. The logic operation circuit 200 may include a second input terminal IN_B_Qn, a third input terminal IN_C_Qn, a display switch signal terminal DSn, and a display reset signal terminal AZn. The second input terminal IN_B_Qn is configured to receive a second input signal, the third input terminal IN_C_Qn is configured to receive a third input signal, the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is configured to output a display switch signal, and the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn is configured to output a display reset signal.
[0135] Under the control of the second input signal and the third input signal, during the light-emitting stage, the time when the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn outputs a valid level signal in the display switch signal is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting a valid level signal in the display reset signal.
[0136] In an exemplary embodiment, the gate driving circuit may be configured to drive at least one pixel driving circuit, such as Figure 6a As shown, the pixel driving circuit may include a display switch control terminal DS and a display reset control terminal IN_AZ. The display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is electrically connected to the display switch control terminal IN_DS of at least one pixel driving circuit, and is configured to output a display switch signal to the display switch control terminal IN_DS of at least one pixel driving circuit. The display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn is electrically connected to the display reset control terminal IN_AZ of at least one pixel driving circuit, and is configured to output a display reset signal to the display reset control terminal IN_AZ of at least one pixel driving circuit.
[0137] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel driving circuit is configured to drive the light-emitting device EL to emit light under the control of the signal output by the gate driving circuit. The light-emitting stage refers to the stage when the pixel driving circuit drives the light-emitting device EL to emit light under the control of the signal output by the gate driving circuit.
[0138] In an exemplary embodiment, the valid level signal in the display switch signal may be a low level signal, and the valid level signal in the display reset signal may be a high level signal. Combining Figure 4a and Figure 6aAs shown, in the pixel driving circuit, the display switch control terminal IN_DS can be connected to the second scanning signal line S2, and the display reset control terminal IN_AZ can be connected to the third scanning signal line S3. When the display switch signal output by the display switch signal terminal DSn is at a low level, the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit is turned on. Therefore, when the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit is a P-type transistor, the effective level in the display switch signal is a low-level signal; when the display reset signal output by the display reset signal terminal AZn is at a high level, the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit is turned on. Therefore, when the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit is an N-type transistor, the effective level signal in the display reset signal is a high level. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the effective level signals of the display switch signal and the display reset signal can be set according to the type of transistors in the pixel driving circuit and the specific working timing, and it is only necessary to ensure that the conduction time of the second transistor T2 does not precede the disconnection time of the fourth transistor T4 during the light-emitting stage. For example, in the case of the pixel driving circuit as Figure 4a shown in the pixel driving circuit, the effective level of the display reset signal is high and low levels, and in the case of the pixel driving circuit as Figure 4b shown in the pixel driving circuit, the effective level of the display reset signal is a low level.
[0139] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 4a and Figure 4b shown, the first transistor T1 in the pixel driving circuit can be referred to as a write switch transistor, the second transistor T2 can be referred to as a display switch transistor, the third transistor T3 can be referred to as a driving transistor, and the fourth transistor T4 can be referred to as a display reset transistor. In the pixel driving circuit, the gate electrode of the write switch transistor T1 can be electrically connected to the write switch control terminal IN_WS of the pixel driving circuit, the gate electrode of the display switch transistor T2 can be electrically connected to the display switch control terminal IN_DS of the pixel driving circuit, and the gate electrode of the display reset transistor T4 can be electrically connected to the display reset control terminal IN_AZ of the pixel driving circuit. During the light-emitting stage when the pixel driving circuit drives the light-emitting device EL, the time when the effective level signal in the display switch signal is output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn does not precede the time when the effective level signal in the display reset signal stops being output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn, so that during the light-emitting stage, the conduction time of the display switch transistor T2 does not precede the disconnection time of the display reset transistor T4, thereby avoiding the problem that the display reset transistor T4 forms a spike current due to the display switch transistor T2 conducting first and the display reset transistor T4 disconnecting later during the light-emitting stage. Thus, the stability of the pixel driving circuit can be improved, and the technical problem of high power consumption of the pixel driving circuit caused by the formation of spike current can be avoided.
[0140] In an exemplary embodiment, asFigure 6a and Figure 6b As shown in Figure 6b , under the control of the second input signal B_Qn, the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is not earlier than the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn;
[0141] The falling edge of the third input signal C_Qn is not later than the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn. Under the control of the second input signal B_Qn and the third input signal C_Qn, the end time of the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn is synchronized with the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn. That is, under the control of the second input signal B_Qn and the third input signal C_Qn, the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn is synchronized with the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn, so that the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn.
[0142] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 6b shown, the end time of the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn being synchronized with the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn can be that the end time of the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn and the time of the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn are basically at the same time (in an actual circuit structure, the end time of the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn may be slightly delayed compared to the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn, but can basically be regarded as the same time). For example, the end time of the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn and the time of the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn can be basically at the same time.
[0143] In an exemplary embodiment, the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is triggered by the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn. In an actual circuit structure, the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn has a certain delay compared to the time of the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn. As Figure 6b shown, generally, the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is not earlier than the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn. In some circuit structures, such as Figure 6cAs shown, the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is compared with the falling edge time of the second input signal B_Qn, and the delay time is relatively small and can be basically ignored. It can be regarded that the falling edge time of the second input signal B_Qn and the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn are basically at the same time. Since the end time of the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn is synchronized with the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn, the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn is basically synchronized with the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn. For example, the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn and the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn can be basically at the same time.
[0144] In an exemplary embodiment, the end time of the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn can be triggered by at least one of the falling edges of the second input signal B_Qn and the third input signal C_Qn. Since the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is triggered by the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn, and the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn, therefore, the falling edge time of the third input signal C_Qn is not earlier than the falling edge time of the second input signal B_Qn, so that the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn.
[0145] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 6a 、 Figure 6b and Figure 6dAs shown, the logic operation circuit 200 may further include a duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn, and the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is set to receive a duty ratio control signal D_Qn; in the light emitting stage, the gate driving circuit is set to control the duty ratio of the active level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn through the end time of the active level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn. In an exemplary embodiment, in the light emitting stage, the logic operation circuit 200 may be set to control the duration of the active level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn and control the duration of the active level signal in the display reset signal AZn stopped being output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn under the control of the duty ratio control signal D_Qn received at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn, so as to control the light emitting duration in the light emitting stage. In an exemplary embodiment, in the light emitting stage, the logic operation circuit 200 may be set to control the duration of the active level signal in the display switch signal output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn according to the duty ratio of the active level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn, and control the duration of the active level signal in the display reset signal AZn stopped being output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn according to the duty ratio of the active level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn, so as to control the light emitting duration in the light emitting stage.
[0146] In an exemplary embodiment, in the light emitting stage, under the control of the duty ratio control signal D_Qn, the end time of the active level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is synchronized with the end time of the active level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn received at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn; the start time of the active level signal OUT_AZn in the display reset signal output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn is synchronized with the end time of the active level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn received at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn (that is, the duration of the active level signal OUT_AZn in the display reset signal stopped being output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn is controlled by the end time of the active level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn received at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn).
[0147] In an exemplary embodiment, the end time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is synchronized with the end time of the valid level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn received by the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn. Under normal circumstances, the end time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn can be slightly delayed compared to the end time of the valid level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn received by the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn. The delayed time is basically negligible and can be regarded as synchronous or simultaneous. The start time of the valid level signal OUT_AZn in the display reset signal output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn is synchronized with the end time of the valid level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn received by the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn. Under normal circumstances, the start time of the valid level signal OUT_AZn in the display reset signal output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn can be slightly delayed compared to the end time of the valid level signal in the duty ratio control signal D_Qn received by the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn. The delayed time is basically negligible and can be regarded as synchronous or simultaneous.
[0148] In an exemplary embodiment, during the light-emitting stage, the duration of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn and the duration of the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn are controlled by the duty ratio control signal D_Qn received by the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn, so that the duration of the light-emitting device EL driven by the pixel driving circuit during the light-emitting stage can be controlled.
[0149] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figures 6b to 6d shown, the valid level signal in the duty ratio control signal can be a low-level signal. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The valid level signal in the duty ratio control signal can be set according to the circuit structure and specific working timing in the logic operation circuit 200, as long as the light-emitting duration can be controlled by the duty ratio of the valid level signal in the duty ratio control signal during the light-emitting stage.

As Figure 6e shown, the gate driving circuit may include a shift register circuit 100, a logic operation circuit (Logical Transition Unit) 200, a level conversion circuit (Level shifter) 300, and a row driving enhancement circuit (Line Driver) 400.

[0187] Figure 9a This is a schematic diagram of the operation of a second operation circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The second operation circuit may include nine parts, which are six inverters, one NOR gate, one NAND gate, and one latch (D-Latch). As Figure 9a shown, the second operation circuit may include a second NAND gate 302, a fifth inverter 405, a sixth inverter 406, a seventh inverter 407, an eighth inverter 408, a ninth inverter 409, a tenth inverter 410, a fourth NOR gate 504, and a latch 520.
[0188] In an exemplary embodiment, the input terminal of the fifth inverter 405 is connected to the write switch signal terminal WSn of the logic operation circuit, the output terminal of the fifth inverter 405 is connected to the input terminal of the sixth inverter 406, the output terminal of the sixth inverter 406 is connected to the input terminal of the seventh inverter 407, the output terminal of the seventh inverter 407 is connected to the input terminal of the eighth inverter 408, the output terminal of the eighth inverter 408 is connected to the input terminal of the ninth inverter 409, the output terminal of the ninth inverter 409 is connected to the input terminal of the tenth inverter 410, the output terminal of the tenth inverter 410 is connected to the enable signal terminal EN of the latch 520, the input terminal of the latch 520 is connected to the second input terminal IN_B_Qn of the logic operation circuit, the output terminal of the latch 520 is connected to the second input terminal of the fourth NOR gate 504, the first input terminal of the fourth NOR gate 504 is connected to the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn of the logic operation circuit, the output terminal of the fourth NOR gate 504 is connected to the first input terminal of the second NAND gate 302, the second input terminal of the second NAND gate 302 is connected to the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 of the logic operation circuit, and the output terminal of the second NAND gate 302 serves as the output terminal OUT_DS of the second operation circuit and the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn, and is connected to the display switch control terminal DS in at least one pixel driving circuit, and outputs a display switch signal to the display switch control terminal DS in at least one pixel driving circuit. In an exemplary embodiment, the output terminal of the second NAND gate 302 may be connected to the input terminal of another level converter (such as the second level converter), and outputs the display switch signal DSn to the level converter. After the level converter performs level conversion on the display switch signal DSn, it outputs the signal to the corresponding line driving enhancer (such as the second line driving enhancer), and after the signal is enhanced by the line driving enhancer, it outputs the signal to the display switch control terminal of the corresponding pixel driving circuit.
[0189] In an exemplary embodiment, the working principle of the second arithmetic circuit is as follows: The fifth inverter 405 to the tenth inverter 410 delay the signal of the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn and input it to the enable signal terminal IN_EN of the latch 520 as the enable signal EN of the latch 520. The second input signal B_Qn of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn of the logic arithmetic circuit serves as the input signal of the latch 520. When the enable signal EN at the enable signal terminal IN_EN is at a low level, the output of the latch 520 remains unchanged. When the enable signal EN at the enable signal terminal IN_EN is at a high level, the output of the latch 520 changes with the second input signal B_Qn. Subsequently, the fourth nor gate 504 performs a nor operation on the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520. The second nand gate 302 performs a nand operation on the nor operation result and the second reset signal LF_pulse2 at the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2. Its logical expression is: Where Q is the output signal of the latch 520 (when the enable signal EN input to the enable signal terminal of the latch 520 is at a high level, Q = B_Qn; when the enable signal EN input to the enable signal terminal of the latch 520 is at a low level, the signal output at the output terminal Q remains the original output signal; under normal working conditions, the enable signal EN at the enable signal terminal of the latch is at a high level, Q = B_Qn), LF_pulse2 is the reset signal, and in the normal working state, LF_pulse2 = 1, DSn = D_Qn + Q. When global reset is required, LF_pulse2 = 0 for global reset, and the output signal DSn of the second arithmetic circuit is at a high level (i.e., DSn = 1). D_Qn is the emission duty control signal. When the emission duty is 100%, D_Qn remains at a low level, and then DSn = Q. When it is necessary to adjust the emission duty, it can be achieved by adjusting the duty cycle of D_Qn.

The second input terminal of the twenty-first NAND gate 521 is connected to the enable signal terminal EN. The output terminal of the twenty-first NAND gate 521 is connected to the first input terminal of the twenty-second NAND gate 522. The second input terminal of the twenty-second NAND gate 522 is connected to the second output terminal OUT_Q_ of the latch 520. The output terminal of the twenty-second NAND gate 522 serves as the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520. The input terminal of the twenty-fifth inverter 525 is connected to the second input terminal B_Qn of the logic operation circuit. The output terminal of the twenty-fifth inverter 525 is connected to the first input terminal of the twenty-third NAND gate 523. The second input terminal of the twenty-third NAND gate 523 is connected to the enable signal terminal EN. The output terminal of the twenty-third NAND gate 523 is connected to the second input terminal of the twenty-fourth NAND gate 524. The first input terminal of the twenty-fourth NAND gate 524 is connected to the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520. The output terminal of the twenty-fourth NAND gate 524 serves as the second output terminal OUT_Q_ of the latch 520. As Figure 9c shown, it is a working timing diagram of the latch provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure ( Figure 9c where the abscissa is time, with the unit of microsecond; the ordinate is voltage, with the unit of volt V); in Figure 9b it, the signal of the first node B1 is the NAND operation result obtained by performing a NAND operation on the second input signal B_Qn and the enable signal EN. The signal of the second node B2 is the operation result obtained by performing a NAND operation on the inverted signal of the second input signal B_Qn after passing through the inverter and the enable signal EN. The output signal Q is the operation result obtained by performing a NAND operation on the signal of the first node B1 and the signal of the second output terminal OUT_Q_. The output signal Q_ is the operation result obtained by performing a NAND operation on the signal of the second node B2 and the signal of the first output terminal OUT_Q.
[0191] As Figure 9cAs shown, in the first stage t1, the enable signal EN is a high-level signal, and the second input signal B_Qn is a low-level signal. The signal of the first node B1 obtained by performing a NAND operation on the enable signal EN and the second input signal B_Qn is a high-level signal. The signal of the second node B2 obtained by performing a NAND operation on the inverted second input signal B_Qn and the enable signal EN is a low-level signal. The signal of the second output terminal OUT_Q_ obtained by performing a NAND operation on the signal of the second node B2 and the signal of the first output terminal OUT_Q is a high-level signal. Since the signals of the first node B1 and the second output terminal OUT_Q_ are both high-level, the signal of the first output terminal OUT_Q obtained by performing a NAND operation on the signal of the first node B1 and the signal of the second output terminal OUT_Q_ is a low-level signal; in the second stage t2, the enable signal EN is a low-level signal, and the second input signal B_Qn changes from a low-level signal to a high-level signal. Since the enable signal EN is a low-level signal, both the first node B1 and the second node B2 are high-level signals. The first output terminal OUT_Q maintains the low level of the previous stage, and the second output terminal OUT_Q_ maintains the high level signal of the previous stage; in the third stage t3, both the enable signal EN and the second input signal B_Qn are high-level signals. The first node B1 obtained by performing a NAND operation on the enable signal EN and the second input signal B_Qn is a low-level signal. The first output terminal OUT_Q is a high-level signal obtained by performing a NAND operation on the signal of the first node B1 and the signal of the second output terminal OUT_Q_. The second node B2 obtained by performing a NAND operation on the inverted second input signal B_Qn and the enable signal EN is a high-level signal. The signal of the second output terminal OUT_Q_ obtained by performing a NAND operation on the signal of the second node B2 and the signal of the first output terminal OUT_Q is a low-level signal; the timing of the fourth stage t4 and the sixth stage t6 is the same as that of the second stage t2, the timing of the fifth stage t5 and the seventh stage t7 is the same as that of the third stage t3, and the timing of the eighth stage t8 and the tenth stage t10 is the same as that of the first stage t1; in the ninth stage t9 and the eleventh stage t11, the second input signal B_Qn changes from a high level to a low-level signal, and the timing of other signals is the same as that of the second stage t2.
[0192] From Figure 9b and Figure 9cIt can be seen that the latch 520 has a total of the following three states. The first state: the enable signal EN is at a high level (1), the second input signal B_Qn is at a low level signal (0), the signal of the first node B1 is at a high level, the signal of the second node B2 is at a low level, the signal of the second output terminal OUT_Q_ is at a high level signal, and the signal of the first output terminal OUT_Q is at a low level signal (referred to as the latch clear operation); the second state: the enable signal EN is at a low level (0), the second input signal B_Qn is an arbitrary signal (high level or low level), the signals of the first node B1 and the second node B2 are both at a high level, and the second output terminal OUT_Q_ and the first output terminal OUT_Q maintain their original output signals and do not change with the change of the second input signal B_Qn (referred to as the hold stage, the stage of latching a 1-bit binary number); the third state: the enable signal EN is at a high level (1), the second input signal B_Qn is at a high level signal (1), the signal of the first node B1 is at a low level, the signal of the second node B2 is at a high level, the signal of the first output terminal OUT_Q is at a high level signal (the latch set stage), and the signal of the second output terminal OUT_Q_ is at a low level signal.
[0193] Figure 9a The main function of the D latch 520 is to prevent the high level of the display switch signal DSn from covering the first low level of the write switch signal WSn (that is, the first low level of the write switch signal WSn overlaps at least partially with the high level of the display switch signal DSn). If the high level of the display switch signal DSn moves forward to cover the first low level of the write switch signal WSn, it will reduce the time of the first power supply voltage of the second node N2 in the write pixel driving circuit and the time of the bias voltage Vofs of the first node N1 in the write pixel driving circuit, resulting in incomplete initialization; if the first low level of the write switch signal WSn moves backward to cover the high level of the display switch signal DSn, it will reduce the self-discharge time of the pixel driving circuit and the threshold voltage reading will be inaccurate. The constraint condition for the normal operation of the D latch 520 is that the enable signal EN input to the enable signal terminal IN_EN of the latch 520 is at a high level (i.e., EN = 1). If the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN is not at a high level (for example, EN = 0), the latch state is uncertain, and the signal output by the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 is uncertain.
[0194] As Figure 9d shown, it is a timing diagram of a working process of a second arithmetic circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The second reset signal of the second reset terminal OUT_LF_pulse2 is at a high level signal, and the display switch signal DSn changes under the control of the signal output by the fourth NOR gate 504. As Figure 9dAs shown, the working process of the second operation circuit may include four stages: the first stage p11 to the fourth stage p14 (during the light-emitting time in the first stage p11 to the third stage p13 and the fourth stage p14, the duty ratio control signal of the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is at a low level, and the duty ratio control signal of the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is at a high or low level during the non-light-emitting time in the fourth stage p14):
[0195] First stage p11: The signal at the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn changes from low level to high level, and the enable signal EN at the enable signal terminal IN_EN changes from high level to low level (the fifth inverter 405 to the tenth inverter 410 delay the low-level signal of the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn by Δt1, and the falling edge of the low-level enable signal at the enable signal terminal EN arrives Δt1 later than the low-level signal of the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn), and the second input signal at the second input terminal IN_B_Qn changes from low level to high level; since the enable signal at the enable signal terminal IN_EN changes from high level to low level, the signal at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 remains at the low level of the previous stage (in the previous stage, the enable signal at the enable signal terminal EN was at a high level, the second input signal at the second input terminal IN_B_Qn was at a low level, and the signal at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 was at a low level), and the duty ratio control signal (low-level signal) at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal (low-level signal) at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 are NAND-operated by the fourth NOR gate 504 to obtain a high-level signal, and the display switch signal DSn obtained by the NAND operation of the high-level signal after the NOR operation and the second reset signal at the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 by the second NAND gate 302 is at a low level signal;
[0196] Second stage p12: The signal at the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn, the enable signal at the enable signal terminal IN_EN, and the second input signal at the second input terminal IN_B_Qn are all at high levels; since the second input signal at the second input terminal IN_B_Qn and the enable signal at the enable signal terminal EN are both at high levels, the signal at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 is at a high level, and the duty ratio control signal (low-level signal) at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal (high-level signal) at the output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 are NOR-operated by the fourth NOR gate 504 to obtain a low-level signal, and the display switch signal DSn obtained by the NAND operation of the low-level signal after the NOR operation and the second reset signal at the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 by the second NAND gate 302 is at a high level signal;
[0197] In the third stage p13: The signal of the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn and the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN are both low levels, and the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn is a high level; Since the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN is a low level, the signal at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 remains the high level of the previous stage. The ratio control signal (low level signal) of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal (high level signal) at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 are NAND-operated by the fourth NOR gate 504 to obtain a low level signal. The low level signal obtained after the NAND operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are NAND-operated by the second NAND gate 302 to obtain a high level display switch signal DSn;
[0198] The light emitting time in the fourth stage p14: The signal of the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn and the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN are both high levels, and the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn is a low level; Since the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn is a low level and the enable signal of the enable signal terminal EN is a high level, the signal at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 is a low level. The ratio control signal (low level signal) of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal (low level signal) at the output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 are NOR-operated by the fourth NOR gate 504 to obtain a high level signal. The high level signal obtained after the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are NAND-operated by the second NAND gate 302 to obtain a low level display switch signal DSn. The display switch signal DSn controls the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit to conduct, and the driving current can drive the light emitting device EL to emit light. This stage is called the light emitting stage.
[0199] It can be seen that Figure 9d when the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 is a high level signal and the ratio control signal of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is a low level signal, the falling edge of the display switch signal DSn can be controlled by the falling edge of the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn; As Figure 9e shown, when the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 is a low level signal, regardless of whether the ratio control signal of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is a low level signal or a high level signal, the display switch signal DSn is always a high level, thereby controlling the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit to turn off. Therefore, the display switch signal DSn can be controlled to be a high level by setting the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 to a low level, thereby controlling the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit to turn off.
[0200] As Figure 9d shown, in the light emitting stage (the fourth stage p24), when the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is at a high level (the non-light emitting time in the fourth stage p24), the display switch signal DSn is at a high level, and the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit is turned off, so that the light emitting device EL cannot emit light. Therefore, in the light emitting stage (the fourth stage p24), the light emitting duration of the light emitting device EL can be controlled by controlling the duration of the low level of the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn (i.e., controlling the duty ratio of the low level in the duty ratio control signal).

[0217] Figure 11aThis is the working principle diagram of a third arithmetic circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The third arithmetic circuit may include two parts, and the two parts are respectively a NOR gate and a NAND gate. As shown in FIG. 9, the third arithmetic circuit may include a fifth NOR gate 505 and a third NAND gate 303.
[0218] In an exemplary embodiment, the first input terminal of the fifth NOR gate 505 is connected to the third input terminal IN_C_Qn of the logic arithmetic circuit, the second input terminal of the fifth NOR gate 505 is connected to the second input terminal IN_B_Qn of the logic arithmetic circuit, the third input terminal of the fifth NOR gate 505 is connected to the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn of the logic arithmetic circuit, the output terminal of the fifth NOR gate 505 is connected to the first input terminal of the third NAND gate 303, the second input terminal of the third NAND gate 303 is connected to the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 of the logic arithmetic circuit, and the output terminal of the third NAND gate 303 serves as the output terminal OUT_AZ of the third arithmetic circuit and as the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn of the logic arithmetic circuit, and is connected to the display reset control terminal AZ in at least one pixel driving circuit, and outputs a display reset signal to the display reset control terminal AZ in at least one pixel driving circuit. In an exemplary embodiment, the output terminal of the third NAND gate 303 may be connected to the input terminal of another level converter (such as a third level converter), and outputs a display reset signal to the level converter. After the level converter performs a voltage domain conversion on the display reset signal, it outputs the signal to the corresponding row driving enhancer (such as a third row driving enhancer), and the row driving enhancer enhances the converted signal and then outputs it to the display reset control terminal AZ in the corresponding pixel driving circuit.
[0219] In an exemplary embodiment, the working principle of the third arithmetic circuit is as follows: The fifth NOR gate 505 performs a NOR operation on the third input signal C_Qn of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, the second input signal B_Qn of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, and the ratio control signal D_Qn of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn. The third NAND gate 303 performs a NAND operation on the NOR operation result and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2. Its logical expression is: Among them, LF_pulse2 is the initialization signal, which remains high (i.e., LF_pulse2 = 1) under normal working conditions, then AZn = B_Qn + C_Qn + D_Qn. When LF_pulse2 is low (i.e., LF_pulse2 = 0), then AZn = 1, and AZn outputs a high level (i.e., AZn = 1). When the light-emitting time ratio is 100%, D_Qn remains low, then AZn = B_Qn + C_Qn. When it is necessary to adjust the light-emitting time ratio, it can be achieved by adjusting the duty cycle of D_Qn. That is, the duty cycle control signal of the duty cycle control terminal IN_D_Qn can affect both the write switch signal DSn and the display reset signal AZn at the same time. The write switch signal DSn and the display reset signal AZn can be controlled simultaneously through the duty cycle control signal of the duty cycle control terminal IN_D_Qn, so as to adjust and control the light-emitting time ratio in the light-emitting stage.
[0220] As Figure 11b shown, it is a timing diagram of the working process of the third arithmetic circuit provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. When the second reset signal LF_pulse2 at the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 is a high-level signal, as Figure 11b shown, the working process of the third arithmetic circuit may include four stages from the first stage p21 to the fourth stage p44 (during the light-emitting time in the first stage p21 to the third stage p23 and the fourth stage p24, the duty cycle control signal D_Qn of the duty cycle control terminal IN_D_Qn is a low-level signal, and during the non-light-emitting time in the fourth stage p24, the duty cycle control signal of the duty cycle control terminal IN_D_Qn is a high-level signal):
[0221] First stage p21: The second input signal B_Qn at the second input terminal IN_B_Qn is low level, and the third input signal C_Qn at the third input terminal IN_C_Qn is high level; since the third input signal at the third input terminal IN_C_Qn is high level, the second input signal at the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal at the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the duty cycle control signal of the duty cycle control terminal IN_D_Qn are subjected to a NOR operation by the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a low-level signal. The display reset signal AZn obtained by the NOR operation of the low-level signal and the second reset signal at the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 through the third NAND gate 303 is high level;
[0222] Second stage p22: The second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn and the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn are both high levels; Since the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn and the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn are both high levels, the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the duty ratio control signal of the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn are subjected to a NOR operation by the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a low-level signal, and the low-level signal obtained through the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are subjected to a NAND operation by the third NAND gate 303 to obtain a high-level display reset signal AZn;
[0223] Third stage p23: The second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn is high level and the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn is low level; Since the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn is high level, the second input signal of the second input terminal B_Qn, the third input signal of the third input terminal C_Qn, and the duty ratio control signal of the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn are subjected to a NOR operation by the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a low-level signal, and the low-level signal obtained through the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are subjected to a NAND operation by the third NAND gate 303 to obtain a high-level display reset signal AZn;
[0224] Emission time in the fourth stage p24: The second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn and the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn are both low levels; Since the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the duty ratio control signal of the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn are all low levels, the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the duty ratio control signal of the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn are subjected to a NOR operation by the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a high-level signal, and the high-level signal obtained through the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are subjected to a NAND operation by the third NAND gate 303 to obtain a low-level display reset signal AZn. The low-level display reset signal AZn can control the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit to turn off, so that the driving current can control the light-emitting device EL to emit light. This stage is called the light-emitting stage.
[0225] In an exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 11bAs shown, when the duty control signal at the duty control terminal IN_D_Qn is a high-level signal (the non-light-emitting time in the fourth stage p24), the second input signal at the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal at the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the duty control signal at the duty control terminal IN_D_Qn are subjected to a NOR operation by the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a low-level signal. The low-level signal obtained through the NOR operation and the second reset signal at the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are subjected to a NAND operation by the third NAND gate 303 to obtain a high-level display reset signal AZn, which controls the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit to conduct, thereby driving a current to flow through the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit, causing the light-emitting device EL not to emit light. As Figure 11b and Figure 11c shown, in the light-emitting stage (the fourth stage p24), the duration of light emission can be controlled by controlling the duration of the low level of the duty control signal at the duty control terminal IN_D_Qn (i.e., controlling the duty ratio of the low level in the duty control signal at the duty control terminal IN_D_Qn). In Figure 11c the working timing shown, the duty ratio of the low level in the duty control signal at the duty control terminal IN_D_Qn is 100% (the light-emitting time ratio in the light-emitting stage is 100%). Figure 11b In the working timing in
[0226] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 11d shown, when the second reset signal at the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 is a low level, the display reset signal AZn is a high level, and the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit is turned off. Therefore, by controlling the second reset signal at the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 to be a low level, the display reset signal AZn can be made a high level, thereby controlling the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit to be turned off.
[0227] In an exemplary embodiment, in Figure 9a the second arithmetic circuit shown, the logical expression of the display switch signal DSn output from the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is:[[]] In the case of normal operation, the enable signal EN at the enable signal terminal EN of the latch 520 is a high level, Q = B_Qn, LF_pulse2 = 1. That is, in the case of normal operation, the logical expression of the display switch signal DSn output from the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is: DSn = D_Qn + B_Qn. In Figure 11a the third arithmetic circuit shown, the logical expression of the display reset signal AZn is:[[]] When LF_pulse2 = 1 under normal working conditions, the logical expression of the display reset signal AZn is: AZn = B_Qn + C_Qn + D_Qn. Thus, it can be seen that under normal working conditions, the display switch signal DSn can be controlled by the duty ratio control signal D_Qn and the second input signal B_Qn, and the display reset signal AZn can be controlled by the duty ratio control signal D_Qn, the second input signal B_Qn, and the third input signal C_Qn. The working principle diagram for generating the display switch signal DSn can be as Figure 9a shown, and the working principle diagram for generating the display reset signal AZn can be as Figure 11a shown. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, from the logical expression, under normal working conditions, the display reset signal AZn can be triggered by the display switch signal DSn, i.e., AZn = DSn + C_Qn, which means the display reset signal AZn can be controlled by the display switch signal DSn and the third input signal C_Qn, that is, the display reset signal AZn can be generated through the display switch signal DSn and the third input signal C_Qn. The working timing diagram of the gate drive circuit is as Figure 6c shown. During the light-emitting stage, the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn (i.e., the falling edge of the display reset signal) is basically synchronized with the time when the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn starts outputting the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn (the falling edge of the display switch signal DSn).
[0228] Under normal working conditions, the display switch signal DSn is controlled by the duty ratio control signal D_Qn and the second input signal B_Qn (DSn = D_Qn + B_Qn), and the display reset signal AZn is controlled by the duty ratio control signal D_Qn, the second input signal B_Qn, and the third input signal C_Qn (AZn = B_Qn + C_Qn + D_Qn). The working timing diagram of the gate drive circuit can be as Figure 6bAs shown, under the control of the second input signal B_Qn, the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is not earlier than the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn; the falling edge of the third input signal C_Qn is not later than the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn. Under the control of the second input signal B_Qn and the third input signal C_Qn, the end time of the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn output by the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn is substantially synchronized with the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn. That is, under the control of the second input signal B_Qn and the third input signal C_Qn, the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn is substantially synchronized with the falling edge of the second input signal B_Qn, so that the start time of the valid level signal in the display switch signal DSn output by the display switch signal terminal OUT_DSn is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal AZn.

[0233] Figure 13 This is the working principle diagram of a level shifter according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 13 shown, the level shifter may include an eleventh inverter 411, a first P-type field effect transistor 501P, a second P-type field effect transistor 502P, a first N-type field effect transistor 501N, and a second N-type field effect transistor 502N.
[0234] In an exemplary embodiment, the input terminal IN_shifter of the level shifter is respectively connected to the input terminal of the eleventh inverter 411 and the gate electrode of the first P-type field effect transistor 501P (wherein, the input terminal of the second level shifter is electrically connected to the display switch signal terminal DSn in the logic operation circuit, and the input terminal of the third level shifter is electrically connected to the display reset signal terminal AZ in the path operation circuit). The output terminal of the eleventh inverter 411 is connected to the gate electrode of the second P-type field effect transistor 502P. The first poles of the first P-type field effect transistor 501P and the second P-type field effect transistor 502P are both connected to the first power supply line VDD.

[0236] Figure 14This is the working principle diagram of a line driver enhancer according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 14 shown, the line driver enhancer may include a fourth NAND gate 304, a fifth NAND gate 305, a first transmission gate 201, a twelfth inverter 412, a third P-type field effect transistor 503P, and a third N-type field effect transistor 503N. The third P-type field effect transistor 503P and the third N-type field effect transistor 503N have a relatively large width-to-length ratio to achieve an improvement in driving ability. The line driver enhancer can enhance the driving ability of a signal, and the signal enhanced by the line driver enhancer can enhance the load-bearing ability and can be applied to a pixel driving circuit for driving an entire line.
[0237] In an exemplary embodiment, the first input terminal IN_driver of the line driver enhancer is connected to the first input terminal of the fourth NAND gate 304, the enable signal terminal EN of the line driver enhancer is connected to the second input terminal of the fourth NAND gate 304, the output terminal of the fourth NAND gate 304 is connected to the input terminal of the first transmission gate 201, the output terminal of the first transmission gate 201 is connected to the gate electrode of the third P-type field effect transistor 503P, and the first pole of the third P-type field effect transistor 503P is connected to the first power supply line VDD. The second input terminal IN_B_driver of the line driver enhancer is connected to the first input terminal of the fifth NAND gate 305, the enable signal terminal EN of the line driver enhancer is connected to the second input terminal of the fifth NAND gate 305, the output terminal of the fifth NAND gate 305 is connected to the input terminal of the twelfth inverter 412, the output terminal of the twelfth inverter 412 is connected to the gate electrode of the third N-type field effect transistor 503N, and the first pole of the third N-type field effect transistor 503N is connected to the second power supply line VSS. The second poles of the third P-type field effect transistor 503P and the third N-type field effect transistor 503N are connected to the output terminal OUT_driver of the line driver enhancer. The high-level active enable terminals of the first transmission gate 201 and the twelfth inverter 412 are connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the low-level active enable terminals are connected to the second power supply line VSS. The high-level active enable terminals of the fourth NAND gate 304 and the fifth NAND gate 305 are connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the low-level active enable terminals are connected to the ground wire GND. In an exemplary embodiment, the output terminal of the second line driver enhancer is electrically connected to the display switch control terminal DS in the corresponding pixel driving circuit, and the output terminal of the third line driver enhancer is electrically connected to the display reset control terminal AZ in the corresponding pixel driving circuit.
[0238] In an exemplary embodiment, when the enable signal input to the enable signal terminal EN of the row driving booster is a first-level signal, the state of the row driving booster is a high-impedance state, which can meet the requirement that on the basis of the gate driving circuit being a bilateral drive (i.e., the gate driving circuit is located on both sides of the display area of the display substrate), the enable signal input to the enable signal terminal of the row driving booster on one side of the display area is set to the first level, so that the modified row driving booster is in a high-impedance state, and unilateral driving of the gate driving circuit can be achieved. That is, when gate driving circuits are provided on both sides of the display area, unilateral driving (the row driving booster on one side of the display area is in a high-impedance state) or bilateral driving (the row driving boosters on both sides of the display area are not in a high-impedance state) of the gate driving circuit can be achieved through the high-impedance state of the row driving booster.
[0239] In an exemplary embodiment, among the enable signals input to the enable signal terminal EN of the row driving booster, the first level can be a low level, that is, the enable signal is a low level. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and can be set according to the circuit structure of the row driving booster, as long as the row driving booster is in a high-impedance state when the enable signal is at the first level.
[0240] In an exemplary embodiment, the working principle of the row driving booster is as follows:
[0241] When the enable signal at the enable signal terminal EN is 0, the fourth NAND gate 304 and the fifth NAND gate 305 output 1 (high level). The output of the fourth NAND gate 304 outputs 1 (high level) after passing through the first transmission gate 201, the third P-type field effect transistor 503P is turned off, the output of the fifth NAND gate 305 outputs 0 (low level) after passing through the twelfth inverter 412, the third N-type field effect transistor 503N is turned off, and the entire circuit state is a high-impedance state.
[0242] When the enable signal at the enable signal terminal EN is 1, the circuit output is determined by the input signals of the first input terminal IN_driver and the second input terminal IN_B_driver of the row driving booster. The input signals of the first input terminal IN_driver and the second input terminal IN_B_driver of the row driving booster are opposite-direction signals. Opposite-direction signals mean that when the input signal of the first input terminal IN_driver is a high-level signal 1, the input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_driver is a low-level signal 0; when the input signal of the first input terminal IN_driver is a low-level signal 0, the input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_driver is a high-level signal 1.
[0243] When the input signal of the first input terminal IN_driver of the line driving booster is 1 and the input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_driver is 0, the fourth NAND gate 304 outputs 0. The output of the fourth NAND gate 304 passes through the first transmission gate 201 and then outputs 0, and the third P-type field effect transistor 503P conducts. The fifth NAND gate 305 outputs 1. The output of the fifth NAND gate 305 passes through the twelfth inverter 412 and then outputs 0, and the third N-type field effect transistor 503N is turned off. The output signal of the output terminal OUT_driver of the line driving booster is the signal (high level) of the first power supply line VDD.
[0244] When the input signal of the first input terminal IN_driver of the line driving booster is 0 and the input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_driver is 1, the fourth NAND gate 304 outputs 1. The output of the fourth NAND gate 304 passes through the first transmission gate 201 and then outputs 1, and the third P-type field effect transistor 503P is turned off. The fifth NAND gate 305 outputs 0. The output of the fifth NAND gate 305 passes through the twelfth inverter 412 and then outputs 1, and the third N-type field effect transistor 503N conducts. The output signal of the output terminal OUT_driver of the line driving booster is the signal (low level) of the second power supply line VSS.
[0245] In an exemplary embodiment, when the enable signal at the enable signal terminal EN is 0, the circuit outputs a high impedance state. When the enable signal at the enable signal terminal EN is 1, the circuit output does not change the logic relationship of the high and low input and output. The enable signal at the enable signal terminal EN is a high configuration control signal. In principle, the line driving booster is a buffer with a large aspect ratio, so it has a large output current and high driving ability. At the same time, the line driving booster has a small output impedance and strong driving ability.
[0246] In an exemplary embodiment, the input terminal IN_shifter of the level shifter can be connected to the output terminal of the logic operation circuit 200. The first output terminal OUT_shifter of the level shifter can be connected to the first input terminal IN_driver of the line driving booster. The second output terminal OUT_B_shifter of the level shifter can be connected to the second input terminal IN_B_driver of the line driving booster. The output terminal OUT_driver of the line driving booster can be connected to the scan signal line of the display area.

[0261] Figure 17 This is an equivalent circuit diagram of an output circuit (including a level converter and a line drive enhancer) according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 15 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, the output circuit includes Figure 15 the level converter shown in Figure 16 and the line drive enhancer shown in
[0262] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 18As shown, it is a timing diagram of a working process of the gate drive circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. When the second reset signal LF_pulse2 at the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 is a high-level signal, the working process of the gate drive circuit may include four stages, namely the first stage p31 to the fourth stage p34 (during the light-emitting time in the first stage p31 to the third stage p33 and the fourth stage p34, the duty ratio control signal D_Qn at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is a low-level signal, and during the non-light-emitting time in the fourth stage p34, the duty ratio control signal D_Qn at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is a high-level signal):
[0263] The first stage p31: The enable signal EN of the enable signal terminal IN_EN changes from high level to low level (the fifth inverter 405 to the tenth inverter 410 delay the low-level signal of the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn by Δt1, and the falling edge of the low level of the enable signal terminal IN_EN arrives Δt1 later than the low-level signal of the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn). The second input signal B_Qn of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn changes from low level to high level, and the third input signal C_Qn of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn is at high level. In the second arithmetic circuit, since the enable signal EN of the enable signal terminal IN_EN changes from high level to low level, the signal at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 remains at the low level of the previous stage (in the previous stage, the enable signal EN of the enable signal terminal IN_EN was at high level, the second input signal B_Qn of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn was at low level, and the signal at the output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 was at low level). The ratio control signal (low-level signal) of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal (low-level signal) at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 perform NOR operation through the fourth NOR gate 504 to obtain a high-level signal. The high-level signal obtained after the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 perform NAND operation through the second NAND gate 302 to obtain the display switch signal DSn as a low-level signal. In the third arithmetic circuit, since the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn is at high level, the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the ratio control signal of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn perform NOR operation through the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a low-level signal. The low-level signal obtained after the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 perform NAND operation through the third NAND gate 303 to obtain the display reset signal AZn as a high-level signal. In this stage, the display switch signal DSn is at low level (equivalent to providing a low-level signal to the second scan signal line S2), and the display reset signal AZn is at high level (equivalent to providing a high-level signal to the third scan signal line S3). Therefore, the first stage p31 of the gate drive circuit is equivalent to the gate drive circuit providing signals to the first stage A1 (initialization stage) of the pixel drive circuit).
[0264] In the second stage p32: the signal of the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn, the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN, the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, and the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn are all at high level; in the second arithmetic circuit, since the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn and the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN are both at high level, the signal of the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 is at high level. The ratio control signal (low level signal) of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal (high level signal) of the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 are NAND-operated by the fourth NOR gate 504 to obtain a low level signal. The low level signal obtained after the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are NAND-operated by the second NAND gate 302 to obtain the display switch signal DSn as a high level signal; in the third arithmetic circuit, since the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn and the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn are at high level, the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the ratio control signal of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn are NOR-operated by the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a low level signal. The low level signal obtained after the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are NAND-operated by the third NAND gate 303 to obtain the display reset signal AZn as a high level; in this stage, the display switch signal DSn is at high level (equivalent to the signal provided to the second scan signal line S2 being at high level), and the display reset signal AZn is at high level (equivalent to the signal provided to the third scan signal line S3 being at high level signal). The second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit is turned off and the fourth transistor T4 is turned on. Therefore, the second stage p32 of the gate driving circuit is equivalent to the gate driving circuit providing a signal to the second stage A2 (self-discharge stage) of the pixel driving circuit.
[0265] The signals of the write switch signal terminal OUT_WSn, the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN, and the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn are all low levels, and the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn is a high level; in the second arithmetic circuit, since the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN is a low level, the signal of the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 remains the high level of the previous stage. The ratio control signal (low level signal) of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal (high level signal) of the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 are NAND-operated by the fourth NOR gate 504 to obtain a low level signal. The low level signal obtained after the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are NAND-operated by the second NAND gate 302 to obtain the display switch signal DSn as a high level signal; in the third arithmetic circuit, since the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn is a high level, the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the ratio control signal of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn are NOR-operated by the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a low level signal. The low level signal obtained after the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are NAND-operated by the third NAND gate 303 to obtain the display reset signal AZn as a high level; in this stage, the display switch signal DSn is a high level (equivalent to the signal provided to the second scan signal line S2 being a high level), and the display reset signal AZn is a high level (equivalent to the signal provided to the third scan signal line S3 being a high level signal). Therefore, the third stage p33 of the gate driving circuit is equivalent to the gate driving circuit providing signals to the third stage A3 (data writing stage and threshold compensation stage) of the pixel driving circuit.
[0266] Emission time of the fourth stage p34: The signal written to the output switch signal terminal OUT_WSn and the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN are both at high level, and the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn and the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn are both at low level; in the second arithmetic circuit, since the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn is at low level and the enable signal of the enable signal terminal IN_EN is at high level, the signal at the first output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 is at low level. The ratio control signal (low level signal) of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal (low level signal) at the first output terminal Q of the latch 520 are NAND-operated by the fourth NOR gate 504 to obtain a high level signal. The high level signal obtained after the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are NAND-operated by the second NAND gate 302 to obtain a display switch signal DSn at low level. The display switch signal DSn controls the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit to conduct, and the driving current can drive the light-emitting device EL to emit light; in the third arithmetic circuit, since the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the ratio control signal of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn are all at low level, the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal of the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the ratio control signal of the ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn are NOR-operated by the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a high level signal. The high level signal obtained after the NOR operation and the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are NAND-operated by the third NAND gate 303 to obtain a display reset signal AZn at low level. The low level of the display reset signal AZn can control the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit to turn off, so that the driving current can control the light-emitting device EL to emit light. In this stage, the display switch signal DSn is at low level (equivalent to the signal provided to the second scan signal line S2 being at low level, which can control the second transistor T2 to conduct), and the display reset signal AZn is at low level (equivalent to the signal provided to the third scan signal line S3 being at low level, which can control the fourth transistor T4 to turn off). Therefore, the third stage p33 of the gate driving circuit is equivalent to the gate driving circuit providing a signal to the fourth stage A4 (emission stage) of the pixel driving circuit.
[0267] Such as Figure 18As shown, during the non-light-emitting time of the fourth stage p34 (light-emitting stage), when the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is at a high level: in the second arithmetic circuit, the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn and the signal at the output terminal OUT_Q of the latch 520 are subjected to a NOR operation through the fourth NOR gate 504 to obtain a low-level signal. The low-level signal obtained from the NOR operation and the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are subjected to a NAND operation through the second NAND gate 302, and the display switch signal DSn obtained is at a high level, causing the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit to turn off; in the third arithmetic circuit, the second input signal at the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, the third input signal at the third input terminal IN_C_Qn, and the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn are subjected to a NOR operation through the fifth NOR gate 505 to obtain a low-level signal. The low-level signal obtained from the NOR operation and the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 are subjected to a NAND operation through the third NAND gate 303, and the display reset signal AZn obtained is at a high level, causing the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit to turn on; since the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit is on and the second transistor T2 is off, the light-emitting device EL does not emit light. It can be seen from this that during the light-emitting stage (the fourth stage p34), the light-emitting time can be controlled by controlling the duration of the low-level of the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn (i.e., the duty ratio of the low-level of the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn). For example, as Figure 19 shown, during the entire light-emitting stage of the fourth stage p34, the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is set to a low level, and the light-emitting time ratio of the light-emitting stage can be achieved to be 100%; Figure 18 shown, during the non-light-emitting time period of the fourth stage p34, the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is set to a high level, and the light-emitting time ratio is controlled to be less than 100% (i.e., during the light-emitting stage, the low-level ratio of the duty ratio control signal at the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is less than 100%, thereby controlling the light-emitting time ratio of the light-emitting stage to be less than 100%).
[0268] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 18 and Figure 19As shown, the falling edge of the display switch signal DSn and the falling edge of the display reset signal AZn are both controlled by the falling edge of the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn. Therefore, during the light-emitting stage, the falling edge of the display switch signal DSn does not occur earlier than the falling edge of the display reset signal AZn, such that during the light-emitting stage, the conduction time of the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit does not occur earlier than the disconnection time of the fourth transistor T4, thereby avoiding the formation of a spike current in the driving current flowing through the fourth transistor T4 for a short period of time after the second transistor T2 conducts and before the fourth transistor T4 disconnects. Therefore, it is possible to avoid problems with the reliability of the display device due to the spike current of the fourth transistor T4, enabling the pixel driving circuit to operate stably and reducing power consumption. In an exemplary embodiment, by comparing Figure 9a and Figure 11a it is not difficult to find that the path of the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn in the second arithmetic circuit has one more latch 520 than in the third arithmetic circuit. In the case where the falling edges of both the display switch signal DSn and the display reset signal AZn are controlled by the falling edge of the second input signal of the second input terminal IN_B_Qn, during the light-emitting stage, the falling edge of the display switch signal DSn is later than the falling edge of the display reset signal AZn (refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 ). Therefore, during the light-emitting stage, the conduction time of the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit will be later than the disconnection time of the fourth transistor T4, further avoiding the problem of the fourth transistor T4 forming a spike current.
[0269] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 20 shown, when the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 is a low-level signal, regardless of whether the duty ratio control signal of the duty ratio control terminal IN_D_Qn is a low-level signal or a high-level signal, the display switch signal DSn and the display reset signal AZn are always high-level signals. Therefore, the display switch signal DSn and the display reset signal AZn can be controlled to be high-level by setting the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 to a low level, thereby controlling the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit to disconnect and the fourth transistor T4 to conduct. Therefore, the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 can be referred to as a global reset signal, that is, setting the second reset signal of the second reset terminal IN_LF_pulse2 to a low level can cause the light-emitting device EL not to emit light.
[0270] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 21 shown, the gate driving circuit may further include a first test circuit, and the first test circuit may be configured to test the display switch signal output by the second logic circuit. The working principle diagram of the first test circuit is as Figure 21As shown, the first test circuit may include two inverters. The input end of the first test circuit is electrically connected to the output end OUT_DS of the second arithmetic circuit (i.e., the display switch signal end OUT_DSn of the logic arithmetic circuit). As Figure 21 shown, the first test circuit may include a thirteenth inverter 413 and a fourteenth inverter 414. The input end of the thirteenth inverter 413 is connected to the output end OUT_DS of the second arithmetic circuit. The output end of the thirteenth inverter 413 is connected to the input end of the fourteenth inverter 414. The output end of the fourteenth inverter 414 may serve as the output end Test_DS of the first test circuit (i.e., the test end of the display switch signal DSn of the gate drive circuit).
[0271] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 22 shown, it is the equivalent circuit diagram of the first test circuit. As Figure 22 shown, the first test circuit may include four transistors; among them, both the thirteenth inverter 413 and the fourteenth inverter 414 include one P-type transistor and one N-type transistor.
[0272] In an exemplary embodiment, an eighty-first P-type transistor P81 and an eighty-first N-type transistor N81 form the thirteenth inverter 413. The gate electrodes of the eighty-first P-type transistor P81 and the eighty-first N-type transistor N81 are connected to each other and connected to the display switch signal end OUT_DSn of the logic arithmetic circuit (the output end OUT_DS of the second arithmetic circuit). The first pole of the eighty-first P-type transistor P81 is connected to the first power supply line VDD. The first pole of the eighty-first N-type transistor N81 is connected to the ground wire GND. The second poles of the eighty-first P-type transistor P81 and the eighty-first N-type transistor N81 are connected to each other and are respectively connected to the gate electrodes of an eighty-second P-type transistor P82 and an eighty-second N-type transistor N82.
[0273] In an exemplary embodiment, an eighty-second P-type transistor P82 and an eighty-second N-type transistor N82 form the fourteenth inverter 414. The gate electrodes of the eighty-second P-type transistor P82 and the eighty-second N-type transistor N82 are connected to each other and connected to the second poles of the eighty-first P-type transistor P81 and the eighty-first N-type transistor N81. The first pole of the eighty-second P-type transistor P82 is connected to the first power supply line VDD. The first pole of the eighty-second N-type transistor N82 is connected to the ground wire GND. The second poles of the eighty-second P-type transistor P82 and the eighty-second N-type transistor N82 are connected to each other and connected to the output end Test_DS of the first test circuit (i.e., the test end Test_DS of the display switch signal of the gate drive circuit).
[0274] In an exemplary embodiment, the first test circuit can detect whether the display switch signal DSn output from the output terminal OUT_DS of the second arithmetic circuit is consistent with the target timing. If the display switch signal DSn detected at the output terminal Test_DS of the first test circuit is inconsistent with the target timing, it indicates that the display switch signal DSn has already been abnormal before entering the level shifter 300 and the line driver 400. Therefore, it can be inferred that the abnormal operation of the second arithmetic circuit causes the display switch signal DSn to be inconsistent with the target timing. If the display switch signal DSn detected at the output terminal Test_DS of the first test circuit is consistent with the target timing, it indicates that the display switch signal DSn becomes abnormal after entering the level shifter 300 and the line driver 400. Therefore, it can be inferred that the second arithmetic circuit operates normally. Therefore, the display switch signal DSn output by the second arithmetic circuit can be tested at the output terminal Test_DS of the first test circuit, so as to test whether the second arithmetic circuit operates normally. In an exemplary embodiment, the output terminal Test_DS of the first test circuit can be led out through a pad around the display area. During the test, the signal input terminal of the oscilloscope can be electrically connected to the pad of the output terminal Test_DS of the first test circuit, and the waveform output from the output terminal Test_DS of the first test circuit can be obtained through the oscilloscope. By comparing whether the waveform output from the output terminal Test_DS of the first test circuit is consistent with the waveform of the target timing, if they are consistent, it means that the second arithmetic circuit operates normally; if they are inconsistent, it means that the second arithmetic circuit operates abnormally.
[0275] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 23 shown, the gate drive circuit may further include a second test circuit, and the second test circuit may be configured to test the display reset signal output by the third logic circuit. The working principle diagram of the second test circuit is as Figure 23 shown. The second test circuit may include 2 inverters, and the input terminal of the second test circuit is electrically connected to the output terminal OUT_AZ of the third arithmetic circuit (i.e., the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn of the logic arithmetic circuit). As Figure 23 shown, the second test circuit may include a fifteenth inverter 415 and a sixteenth inverter 416. The input terminal of the fifteenth inverter 415 is connected to the output terminal OUT_AZ of the third arithmetic circuit, the output terminal of the fifteenth inverter 415 is connected to the input terminal of the sixteenth inverter 416, and the output terminal of the sixteenth inverter 416 may be used as the output terminal Test_AZ of the second test circuit (i.e., the test terminal of the display reset signal AZn of the gate drive circuit).
[0276] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 24 shown, it is an equivalent circuit diagram of the second test circuit. As Figure 24 shown, the second test circuit may include four transistors; among them, the fifteenth inverter 415 and the sixteenth inverter 416 each include 1 P-type transistor and 1 N-type transistor.
[0277] In an exemplary embodiment, the eighty-third P-type transistor P83 and the eighty-third N-type transistor N83 form the fifteenth inverter 415. The gate electrodes of the eighty-third P-type transistor P83 and the eighty-third N-type transistor N83 are connected to each other and are connected to the display reset signal terminal OUT_AZn (the output terminal OUT_AZ of the third operation circuit) of the logic operation circuit. The first pole of the eighty-third P-type transistor P83 is connected to the first power supply line VDD, the first pole of the eighty-third N-type transistor N83 is connected to the ground line GND, the second poles of the eighty-third P-type transistor P83 and the eighty-third N-type transistor N83 are connected to each other and are respectively connected to the gate electrodes of the eighty-fourth P-type transistor P84 and the eighty-fourth N-type transistor N84.
[0278] In an exemplary embodiment, the eighty-fourth P-type transistor P84 and the eighty-fourth N-type transistor N84 form the sixteenth inverter 416. The gate electrodes of the eighty-fourth P-type transistor P84 and the eighty-fourth N-type transistor N84 are connected to each other and are connected to the second poles of the eighty-third P-type transistor P83 and the eighty-third N-type transistor N83. The first pole of the eighty-fourth P-type transistor P84 is connected to the first power supply line VDD, the first pole of the eighty-fourth N-type transistor N84 is connected to the ground line GND, the second poles of the eighty-fourth P-type transistor P84 and the eighty-fourth N-type transistor N84 are connected to each other and are connected to the output terminal Test_AZ of the second test circuit (i.e., the test terminal Test_AZ of the display reset signal of the gate drive circuit).
[0279] In an exemplary embodiment, the second test circuit can detect whether the display reset signal AZn output from the output terminal OUT_AZ of the third arithmetic circuit is consistent with the target timing. If the display reset signal AZn detected at the output terminal Test_AZ of the second test circuit is inconsistent with the target timing, it indicates that the display reset signal AZn has already been abnormal before entering the level shifter 300 and the line driver 400. Therefore, it can be inferred that the abnormal operation of the third arithmetic circuit causes the display reset signal AZn to be inconsistent with the target timing. If the display reset signal AZn detected at the output terminal Test_AZ of the second test circuit is consistent with the target timing, it indicates that the display reset signal AZn becomes abnormal after entering the level shifter 300 and the line driver 400. Therefore, it can be inferred that the third arithmetic circuit operates normally. Thus, the display reset signal AZn output by the third arithmetic circuit can be tested at the output terminal Test_AZ of the second test circuit, so as to test whether the third arithmetic circuit operates normally. In an exemplary embodiment, the output terminal Test_AZ of the second test circuit can be led out through a pad around the display area. During the test, the signal input terminal of the oscilloscope can be electrically connected to the pad of the output terminal Test_AZ of the second test circuit, and the waveform output from the output terminal Test_AZ of the second test circuit can be obtained through the oscilloscope. By comparing whether the waveform output from the output terminal Test_AZ of the second test circuit is consistent with the waveform of the target timing, if they are consistent, it indicates that the third arithmetic circuit operates normally; if they are inconsistent, it indicates that the third arithmetic circuit operates abnormally.
[0280] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a driving method for a gate driving circuit, which is configured to drive the gate driving circuit described in any of the above embodiments. The gate driving circuit includes a logic arithmetic circuit, and the logic arithmetic circuit includes a display switch signal terminal, a display reset signal terminal, a second input terminal, and a third input terminal. The display switch signal terminal is configured to output a display switch signal, and the display reset signal terminal is configured to output a display reset signal. The driving method includes:
[0281] Under the control of the second input signal and the third input signal, during the light emitting stage, the time when the display switch signal terminal outputs the valid level signal in the display switch signal is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal.
[0282] The driving method of the gate driving circuit provided by the present disclosure, during the light emitting stage when the gate driving circuit drives at least one pixel driving circuit, the time when the display switch signal terminal outputs the valid level signal in the display switch signal is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal, thereby avoiding the formation of spike current in the pixel driving circuit, enabling the pixel driving circuit to work stably, and reducing the power consumption of the pixel driving circuit.
[0283] In an exemplary embodiment, the display switch signal terminal is configured to output a display switch signal to the display switch control terminal of the at least one pixel driving circuit, and the display reset signal terminal is configured to output a display reset signal to the display reset control terminal of the at least one pixel driving circuit.
[0284] In an exemplary embodiment, the valid level signal in the display switch signal may be a low level signal, and the valid level signal in the display reset signal may be a high level signal. Combining Figure 4a and Figure 6a As shown, the display switch control terminal DS in the pixel driving circuit may be connected to the second scan signal line S2, and the display reset control terminal AZ may be connected to the third scan signal line S3. When the display switch signal output by the display switch signal terminal DSn is at a low level, the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit is turned on. Therefore, when the second transistor T2 in the pixel driving circuit is a P-type transistor, the valid level in the display switch signal is a low level signal; when the display reset signal output by the display reset signal terminal AZn is at a high level, the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit is turned on. Therefore, when the fourth transistor T4 in the pixel driving circuit is an N-type transistor, the valid level signal in the display reset signal is a high level signal. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The valid level signals of the display switch signal and the display reset signal can be set according to the type of transistors in the pixel driving circuit and the specific working timing, and it is only necessary to ensure that the turn-on time of the second transistor T2 is not earlier than the turn-off time of the fourth transistor T4 during the light emitting stage. For example, in the case of the pixel driving circuit as Figure 4a shown, the valid level in the display reset signal is high and low levels, and in the case of the pixel driving circuit as Figure 4b shown, the valid level in the display reset signal is a low level.
[0285] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a display substrate, such as Figure 25As shown, the display substrate may include a display area and a non-display area; the display area includes a plurality of sub-pixels, and at least one sub-pixel includes a pixel driving circuit and at least one scanning signal line, and the scanning signal line is configured to provide a scanning signal to the connected pixel driving circuit; the non-display area includes a plurality of cascaded gate driving circuits, at least one gate driving circuit is connected to the scanning signal line in the display area, and at least one gate driving circuit may include the gate driving circuit described in any of the above embodiments.
[0286] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one sub-pixel includes a light-emitting element, and the pixel driving circuit is configured to drive the light-emitting element to emit light; in the same sub-pixel, the pixel driving circuit is electrically connected to the anode of the light-emitting element; at least one of the pixel driving circuits at least includes: a display switch control terminal and a display reset control terminal; the gate driving circuit includes a display switch signal terminal and a display reset signal terminal;
[0287] The display switch control terminal is configured to receive the display switch signal from the display switch signal terminal and control the pixel driving circuit to drive the light-emitting element to emit light according to the display switch signal; the display reset control terminal is configured to receive the display reset signal from the display reset signal terminal and control the anode of the light-emitting element to be reset according to the display reset signal;
[0288] In the light-emitting stage, the time when the display switch control terminal receives the valid level signal in the display switch signal is not earlier than the time when the display reset control terminal stops receiving the valid level signal in the display reset signal.
[0289] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 4a and Figure 4bAs shown, the first transistor T1 in the pixel driving circuit can be referred to as a write switch transistor, the second transistor T2 can be referred to as a display switch transistor, the third transistor T3 can be referred to as a driving transistor, and the fourth transistor T4 can be referred to as a display reset transistor. In the pixel driving circuit, the gate electrode of the write switch transistor T1 can be electrically connected to the write switch control terminal WS of the pixel driving circuit, the gate electrode of the display switch transistor T2 can be electrically connected to the display switch control terminal DS of the pixel driving circuit, and the gate electrode of the display reset transistor T4 can be electrically connected to the display reset control terminal AZ of the pixel driving circuit. During the light-emitting stage when the pixel driving circuit drives the light-emitting device EL, the time when the display switch signal terminal DSn outputs the valid level signal in the display switch signal is not earlier than the time when the display reset signal terminal AZn stops outputting the valid level signal in the display reset signal, so that during the light-emitting stage, the conduction time of the display switch transistor T2 is not earlier than the disconnection time of the display reset transistor T4, thereby avoiding the problem that the display reset transistor T4 forms a spike current due to the display switch transistor T2 conducting first and the display reset transistor T4 disconnecting later during the light-emitting stage. Thus, the stability of the pixel driving circuit can be improved, and the technical problem of high power consumption of the pixel driving circuit caused by the formation of spike current can be avoided. For the display substrate provided by the present disclosure, during the light-emitting stage, the time when the display switch control terminal receives the valid level signal in the display switch signal is not earlier than the time when the display reset control terminal stops receiving the valid level signal in the display reset signal, so that spike current can be avoided from being formed in the pixel driving circuit, enabling the pixel driving circuit to operate stably and reducing the power consumption of the pixel driving circuit.
