[0056] As described in the background, the organic light-emitting display panel has the advantages of self-illumination, low driving voltage, high luminous efficiency, fast response speed, thinness, high contrast ratio and the like, and is widely used in mobile phones, computers, televisions, vehicle-mounted display devices, wearable devices and other display devices with display functions. The organic light-emitting display panel usually has a scanning circuit and a plurality of pixel units, the scanning circuit includes a plurality of driving circuits, and the pixel unit includes a pixel circuit and a light-emitting element. During the working process of the organic light-emitting display panel, the driving circuit generates a driving signal to drive the pixel circuit to work; the pixel circuit generates a driving current through an internal driving transistor, and the light-emitting element emits light in response to the driving current. The circuit structure of the existing driving circuit is relatively complex, which occupies a large area and is not conducive to the narrow frame design of the display panel.
[0057] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a driving circuit, a scanning circuit, a display panel and an electronic device, which effectively solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, simplify the circuit structure of the driving circuit, thereby reducing the occupied area of the scanning circuit, and are conducive to the narrow frame design of the display panel.
[0058] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are as follows, which are specifically combined Figures 1 to 28 The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail.
[0059] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1 A circuit diagram of a driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 A circuit diagram of another driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application provides a driving circuit 100, which includes a driving unit 100a and a gating unit 100b; the driving unit 100a includes: a first driving input module 111, which is electrically connected with at least an input signal end IN and a first clock signal end CK, and is connected in communication with a first node N1 based on at least the signal control of the first clock signal end CK. A second driving input module 112, which is electrically connected with at least the first node N1 (as shown in Figure 1 ) or the input signal end IN (as shown in Figure 2The first node N1 and the input signal terminal IN are electrically connected, and the first level signal VG1 is input into the second node N2 based on the signal of the first node N1 or the input signal terminal IN. The first driving pull-down module 121 is electrically connected to the first node N1 and the second clock signal terminal XCK, and the signal of the second clock signal terminal XCK is coupled to the first node N1 based on the signal of the first node N1. The first clock signal terminal CK and the second clock signal terminal XCK output clock signals with the same period and duty cycle and a set phase difference. The second driving pull-down module 122 is electrically connected to the first node N1 and the first clock signal terminal CK, and the first clock signal terminal CK is connected to the second node N2 based on the signal of the first node N1. The first driving output module 131 is electrically connected to the first node N1 and the first level terminal VGL, and the first level terminal VGL is connected to the cascade output terminal OUT of the driving circuit 100 based on the signal of the first node N1. The first level signal VG1 and the first level terminal VGL have the same level, and the first level signal VG1 can be the first level terminal VGL or the corresponding level signal output by the second clock signal terminal XCK. The second driving output module 132 is electrically connected to the second node N2 and the first clock signal terminal CK, and the first clock signal terminal CK is connected to the cascade output terminal OUT based on the signal of the second node N2.
[0060] The gate unit 100b provided by the embodiment of the application comprises: a gate control module 150, which is electrically connected to at least a gate control end Ctrl and the second node N2, and is connected between the second node N2 and the third node N3 based on at least the signal control of the gate control end Ctrl; a gate pull-down module 160, which is electrically connected to at least the first clock signal end CK, and is connected between the first clock signal end CK and the third node N3 at the end of the output of the valid level of the cascade output end OUT; a first gate output module 171, which is electrically connected to at least the first clock signal end CK and the third node N3, and is connected between the first clock signal end CK and the gate output end OUTx of the gate unit 100b based on at least the signal control of the third node N3; and a second gate output module 172, which is electrically connected to at least the first node N1 and the first level end VGL, and is connected between the first level end VGL and the gate output end OUTx based on at least the signal control of the first node N1. Thus, the driving circuit 100 cooperates with the first driving input module 111, the second driving input module 112, the first driving pull-down module 121, the second driving pull-down module 122, the first driving output module 131, the second driving output module 132, the gate control module 150, the gate pull-down module 160, the first gate output module 171, and the second gate output module 172 to complete the work, which simplifies the circuit structure of the driving circuit 100, thereby reducing the occupied area of the scanning circuit and being conducive to the narrow-frame design of the display panel.
[0061] Reference Figure 3As shown in the circuit diagram of another driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application, the driving circuit 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application further comprises a coupling module 140, which is electrically connected with the second node N2 and the first clock signal terminal CK, and is configured to couple the voltage level output by the first clock signal terminal CK to the second node N2 at the end of the output of the effective level by the cascaded output terminal OUT, so as to control the voltage adjustment direction of the second node N2 to be the same as the polarity of the level output by the first clock signal terminal CK. That is, when the level output by the first clock signal terminal CK is a low level, the coupling module 140 couples the low level voltage output by the first clock signal terminal CK to the second node N2 at the end of the output of the effective level by the cascaded output terminal OUT, the level of the second node N2 remains the same as that in the output stage, that is, a low level, and the voltage of the second node N2 is adjusted to a lower voltage; or, when the level output by the first clock signal terminal CK is a high level, the coupling module 140 couples the high level voltage output by the first clock signal terminal CK to the second node N2 at the end of the output of the effective level by the cascaded output terminal OUT, the level of the second node N2 remains the same as that in the output stage, that is, a high level, and the voltage of the second node N2 is adjusted to a higher voltage. In this way, the second node N2 can control the second driving output module 132 to better connect the first clock signal terminal CK and the cascaded output terminal OUT, so as to more fully output the voltage output by the first clock signal terminal CK to the cascaded output terminal OUT, thereby avoiding the problem of step voltage when the cascaded output terminal OUT outputs an invalid level. The "step voltage" is the voltage between the voltage of the effective level and the voltage of the invalid level output by the cascaded output terminal OUT.
[0062] In some embodiments, the operation of the driving circuit 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can be divided into six stages in time sequence, which are a pull-down stage, an input stage, an output stage, a maintenance stage, a transition stage and an end stage. Based on the above description of the driving circuit 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the working processes of the pull-down stage, the input stage, the output stage, the maintenance stage, the transition stage and the end stage of the driving circuit 100 are as follows. Figure 3 As shown in the driving circuit 100, when the second driving input module 112 is electrically connected with the first node N1, and the control signal terminal Ctrl is in a state of controlling the gating control module 150 to connect the second node N2 and the third node N3, the scanning circuit is in a high-frequency refreshing state (at this time, the output waveforms of the cascaded output terminal OUT and the gating output terminal OUTx are consistent), and the working processes of the pull-down stage, the input stage, the output stage, the maintenance stage, the transition stage and the end stage of the driving circuit 100 are as follows.
[0063] In the pull-down phase, the first driving input module 111 connects the input signal end IN with the first node N1 based on the signal control of the first clock signal end CK; the second driving pull-down module 122 connects the first clock signal end CK with the second node N2 based on the signal control of the first node N1. The second driving output module 132 connects the first clock signal end CK with the cascade output end OUT based on the signal control of the second node N2, and the cascade output end OUT outputs an invalid level at this time. Meanwhile, since the second node N2 and the third node N3 are connected, the first gating output module 171 connects the first clock signal end CK with the gating output end OUTx based on the signal control of the third node N3, and the gating output end OUTx outputs an invalid level at this time. It should be noted that the level output by the cascade output end OUT is an effective level or an invalid level, which is determined by the state of the transistor in the next stage driving circuit 100 connected thereto. The level output by the cascade output end OUT is an effective level when it controls the transistor connected in the next stage driving circuit 100 to be turned on, and is an invalid level when it controls the transistor connected in the next stage driving circuit 100 to be turned off. In addition, the level output by the gating output end OUTx is an effective level or an invalid level, which is determined by the pixel circuit connected to the driving circuit 100. The level output by the gating output end OUTx is an effective level when it drives the transistor connected in the pixel circuit to be turned on, and is an invalid level when it drives the transistor connected in the pixel circuit to be turned off.
[0064] In the input phase, the first driving input module 111 connects the input signal end IN with the first node N1 based on the signal control of the first clock signal end CK; the second driving input module 112 transmits the first level signal VG1 to the second node N2 based on the signal control of the first node N1; the second driving output module 132 connects the first clock signal end CK with the cascade output end OUT based on the signal control of the second node N2, and the cascade output end OUT outputs an invalid level at this time. Meanwhile, since the second node N2 and the third node N3 are connected, the first gating output module 171 connects the first clock signal end CK with the gating output end OUTx based on the signal control of the third node N3, and the gating output end OUTx outputs an invalid level at this time.
[0065] In the output phase, the first driving input module 111 disconnects the input signal terminal IN from the first node N1 based on the signal control of the first clock signal terminal CK, and the first node N1 keeps the voltage in the input phase without voltage input; thus, the second driving input module 112 transmits the first level signal VG1 to the second node N2 based on the signal control of the first node N1; the second driving output module 132 connects the first clock signal terminal CK and the cascade output terminal OUT based on the signal control of the second node N2, and the cascade output terminal OUT outputs the effective level at this time. At the same time, since the second node N2 and the third node N3 are connected, the first gating output module 171 connects the first clock signal terminal CK and the gating output terminal OUTx based on the signal control of the third node N3, and the gating output terminal OUTx outputs the effective level at this time.
[0066] In the holding phase, the first node N1 keeps the voltage in the output phase without other voltage input, thus the second driving input module 112 transmits the first level signal VG1 to the second node N2 based on the signal control of the first node N1; the second driving output module 132 connects the first clock signal terminal CK and the cascade output terminal OUT based on the signal control of the second node N2, and the cascade output terminal OUT maintains the output effective level at this time. At the same time, since the second node N2 and the third node N3 are connected, the first gating output module 171 connects the first clock signal terminal CK and the gating output terminal OUTx based on the signal control of the third node N3, and the gating output terminal OUTx maintains the output effective level at this time.
[0067] In the transition stage, the first driving input module 111 controls the input signal terminal IN to be connected with the first node N1 based on the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK, at this time, the level of the input signal terminal IN is opposite to the level in the input stage; the second driving pull-down module 122 controls the first clock signal terminal CK to be connected with the second node N2 based on the signal of the first node N1; the second driving output module 132 controls the first clock signal terminal CK to be connected with the cascade output terminal OUT based on the signal of the second node N2, at this time, the cascade output terminal OUT outputs invalid level. At the same time, the first gating output module 171 controls the first clock signal terminal CK to be connected with the gating output terminal OUTx based on the signal of the third node N3, at this time, the gating output terminal OUTx outputs invalid level. In addition, the coupling module 140 couples the voltage level output by the first clock signal terminal CK to the second node N2 to adjust the voltage of the second node N2, wherein when the first clock signal terminal CK outputs low voltage to the second node N2, the voltage of the second node N2 is adjusted to be lower; or when the first clock signal terminal CK outputs high voltage to the second node N2, the voltage of the second node N2 is adjusted to be higher, thereby the second driving output module 132 can be better controlled by the second node N2 to connect the first clock signal terminal CK and the cascade output terminal OUT, so that the voltage output by the first clock signal terminal CK can be more fully output to the cascade output terminal OUT, to avoid the problem of step voltage when the cascade output terminal OUT outputs invalid level.
[0068] In the end stage, the first driving pull-down module 121 controls the signal of the second clock signal terminal XCK to be coupled to the first node N1 based on the signal of the first node N1, to adjust the voltage of the first node N1, the adjustment direction of the voltage of the first node N1 is the same as the polarity of the level of the first node N1 in the transition stage, thereby ensuring that the second driving input module 112 is in a completely stopped working state, and ensuring that the first driving pull-down module 121, the second driving pull-down module 122, the first driving output module 131 and the second gating output module 172 are fully working, and the cascade output terminal OUT and the gating output terminal OUTx maintain invalid level. That is, when the level of the first node N1 in the transition stage is low, the signal of the second clock signal terminal XCK is coupled to the first node N1, which can adjust the voltage of the first node N1 to be lower; or when the level of the first node N1 in the transition stage is high, the signal of the second clock signal terminal XCK is coupled to the first node N1, which can adjust the voltage of the first node N1 to be higher.
[0069] Continuing to refer to Figure 3The driving circuit 100 shown, when the second driving input module 112 is electrically connected with the first node N1, and the control end Ctrl is in a state of controlling the gating control module 150 to disconnect the second node N2 and the third node N3, the scanning circuit is in a low-frequency refreshing state (at this time, the gating output end OUTx keeps outputting an invalid level), wherein the working processes of the pull-down stage, the input stage, the output stage, the maintaining stage, the transition stage and the end stage of the driving circuit 100 are respectively as follows:
[0070] In the pull-down stage, the first driving input module 111 connects the input signal end IN with the first node N1 based on the signal control of the first clock signal end CK; the second driving pull-down module 122 connects the first clock signal end CK with the second node N2 based on the signal control of the first node N1. The second driving output module 132 connects the first clock signal end CK with the cascade output end OUT based on the signal control of the second node N2, and the cascade output end OUT outputs an invalid level at this time. Meanwhile, the gating pull-down module 160 connects the first clock signal end CK with the third node N3 to make the third node N3 control the first gating output module 171 to connect the first clock signal end CK with the gating output end OUTx; and the second gating output module 172 connects the first level end VGL with the gating output end OUTx based on the signal control of the first node N1, so that the gating output end OUTx outputs an invalid level at this time.
[0071] In the input stage, the first driving input module 111 connects the input signal end IN with the first node N1 based on the signal control of the first clock signal end CK; the second driving input module 112 transmits the first level signal VG1 to the second node N2 based on the signal control of the first node N1; the second driving output module 132 connects the first clock signal end CK with the cascade output end OUT based on the signal control of the second node N2, and the cascade output end OUT outputs an invalid level at this time. Meanwhile, the gating pull-down module 160 disconnects the first clock signal end CK and the third node N3, the third node N3 keeps the same voltage as in the pull-down stage without voltage input, the third node N3 controls the first gating output module 171 to connect the first clock signal end CK with the gating output end OUTx, and the gating output end OUTx outputs an invalid level at this time.
[0072] In the output stage, the first driving input module 111 disconnects the input signal terminal IN from the first node N1 based on the signal control of the first clock signal terminal CK, and the first node N1 keeps the voltage in the input stage without voltage input; thus, the second driving input module 112 transmits the first level signal VG1 to the second node N2 based on the signal control of the first node N1; the second driving output module 132 connects the first clock signal terminal CK and the cascade output terminal OUT based on the signal control of the second node N2, and the cascade output terminal OUT outputs the effective level at this time. Meanwhile, the gate output terminal OUTx keeps the same voltage as in the input stage without voltage input, and the gate output terminal OUTx continues to output the ineffective level at this time.
[0073] In the maintenance stage, the first node N1 keeps the voltage in the output stage without other voltage input, thus, the second driving input module 112 transmits the first level signal VG1 to the second node N2 based on the signal control of the first node N1; the second driving output module 132 connects the first clock signal terminal CK and the cascade output terminal OUT based on the signal control of the second node N2, and the cascade output terminal OUT maintains the output of the effective level at this time. Meanwhile, the gate output terminal OUTx keeps the same voltage as in the output stage without voltage input, and the gate output terminal OUTx maintains the output of the ineffective level at this time.

At the same time, the second gating output module 172 controls the first level terminal VGL to be connected with the gating output terminal OUTx based on the signal of the first node N1, so that the gating output terminal OUTx continues to output an invalid level at this time. And the coupling module 140 couples the level voltage output by the first clock signal terminal CK to the second node N2 to adjust the voltage of the second node N2, wherein when the first clock signal terminal CK outputs a low level voltage to the second node N2, the voltage of the second node N2 is adjusted to a lower voltage; or when the first clock signal terminal CK outputs a high level voltage to the second node N2, the voltage of the second node N2 is adjusted to a higher voltage, thereby the second driving output module 132 can be better controlled by the second node N2 to connect the first clock signal terminal CK and the cascade output terminal OUT, so that the voltage output by the first clock signal terminal CK can be more fully output to the cascade output terminal OUT, to avoid the problem of step voltage when the cascade output terminal OUT outputs an invalid level.

That is, when the level of the first node N1 in the transition stage is a low level, the signal of the second clock signal terminal XCK is coupled to the first node N1, which can adjust the voltage of the first node N1 to be lower; or when the level of the first node N1 in the transition stage is a high level, the signal of the second clock signal terminal XCK is coupled to the first node N1, which can adjust the voltage of the first node N1 to be higher. Thereby, the state of the gating control module 150 is controlled by the gating control terminal Ctrl to adjust the timing of the connection between the second node N2 and the third node N3, to complete the switching of high-frequency refresh and low-frequency refresh of the scan circuit.

The first level terminal VGL is a low-level terminal, and the first level signal VG1 is a low-level signal. Figure 5 The gate of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the input signal terminal IN. When the gating control terminal Ctrl is a low-level signal, the thirteenth transistor T13 is turned on, connecting the second node N2 and the third node N3. At this time, the scanning circuit is in a high-frequency refresh state (the output waveforms of the cascaded output terminal OUT and the gating output terminal OUTx are consistent). The working processes of the pull-down stage S1, input stage S2, output stage S3, sustain stage S4, transition stage S5 and end stage S6 of the driving circuit 100 are as follows:
[0095] In the pull-down phase S1, the first clock signal end CK controls the first transistor T1 to be turned on, so as to transmit the low level signal of the input signal end IN at this time to the first node N1. The low level signal of the first node N1 can control the eleventh transistor T11 to be turned on, and the eleventh transistor T11 transmits the low level signal of the first clock signal end CK at this time to the second node N2. The low level signal of the second node N2 can control the twelfth transistor T12 to be turned on, and the twelfth transistor T12 transmits the low level signal of the first clock signal end CK at this time to the cascade output end OUT, and the cascade output end OUT outputs an invalid level. At the same time, since the second node N2 and the third node N3 are connected in communication, the fifteenth transistor T15 is turned on based on the signal control of the third node N3, and transmits the low level signal of the first clock signal end CK at this time to the gating output end OUTx, and the gating output end OUTx outputs an invalid level.
[0096] In the input phase S2, the first clock signal end CK controls the first transistor T1 to be turned on, so as to transmit the high level signal of the input signal end IN at this time to the first node N1. At the same time, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on based on the high level signal control of the input signal end IN at this time, and transmits the low level signal of the first level signal VG1 to the second node N2. The low level signal of the second node N2 can control the twelfth transistor T12 to be turned on, and the twelfth transistor T12 transmits the low level signal of the first clock signal end CK at this time to the cascade output end OUT, and the cascade output end OUT outputs an invalid level. At the same time, since the second node N2 and the third node N3 are connected in communication, the fifteenth transistor T15 is turned on based on the signal control of the third node N3, and transmits the low level signal of the first clock signal end CK at this time to the gating output end OUTx, and the gating output end OUTx outputs an invalid level.
[0097] In the output phase S3, the first clock signal end CK at this time is high level to control the first transistor T1 to be turned off, and the first node N1 keeps the high level signal in the input phase S2 without voltage input. At the same time, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on based on the high level signal control of the input signal end IN at this time, and transmits the low level signal of the first level signal VG1 to the second node N2. The low level signal of the second node N2 can control the twelfth transistor T12 to be turned on, and the twelfth transistor T12 transmits the high level signal of the first clock signal end CK at this time to the cascade output end OUT, and the cascade output end OUT outputs a valid level. At the same time, since the second node N2 and the third node N3 are connected in communication, the fifteenth transistor T15 is turned on based on the signal control of the third node N3, and transmits the high level signal of the first clock signal end CK at this time to the gating output end OUTx, and the gating output end OUTx outputs a valid level.
[0098] In the maintaining stage S4, the first node N1 keeps the high level signal without other voltage input in the output stage S3. Meanwhile, the fifth transistor T5 is turned off based on the low level signal of the input signal terminal IN at this time, and the second node N2 keeps the low level signal without voltage input, which is the same as that in the output stage S3. The low level signal of the second node N2 can control the twelfth transistor T12 to be turned on, and the twelfth transistor T12 transmits the high level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK at this time to the cascade output terminal OUT, and the cascade output terminal OUT keeps the output active level at this time. Meanwhile, since the second node N2 and the third node N3 are connected, the fifteenth transistor T15 is turned on based on the signal control of the third node N3, and transmits the high level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK at this time to the gating output terminal OUTx, and the gating output terminal OUTx outputs the active level.
[0099] In the transition stage S5, the first clock signal terminal CK is low level signal at this time to control the first transistor T1 to be turned on, so as to transmit the low level signal of the input signal terminal IN at this time to the first node N1. The low level signal of the first node N1 can control the eleventh transistor T11 to be turned on, and the eleventh transistor T11 transmits the low level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK to the second node N2. The twelfth transistor T12 is turned on based on the low level signal control of the second node N2, and transmits the low level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK to the cascade output terminal OUT, and the cascade output terminal OUT outputs the inactive level. Meanwhile, since the second node N2 and the third node N3 are connected, the fifteenth transistor T15 is turned on based on the signal control of the third node N3, and transmits the low level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK at this time to the gating output terminal OUTx, and the gating output terminal OUTx outputs the inactive level. In addition, the first capacitor C1 couples the low level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK to the second node N2, so as to adjust the low level voltage of the second node N2 to be less than the level voltage of the first level terminal VGL, thereby enabling the low level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK to be more fully transmitted to the cascade output terminal OUT, so as to avoid the problem of step voltage when the cascade output terminal OUT outputs the inactive level.
[0100] At the end stage S6, the first node N1 low level signal controls the second transistor T2 to turn on, and the low level signal of the second clock signal end XCK is coupled to the first node N1 through the second capacitor C2, so as to adjust the voltage of the first node N1 to a lower voltage, thereby being able to better control the sufficient conduction of the fourth transistor T4, the eleventh transistor T11 and the sixteenth transistor T16 through the low level of the first node N1, the fourth transistor T4 transmits the low level signal of the first level end VGL to the cascade output end OUT, and the cascade output end OUT outputs an invalid level; at the same time, the sixteenth transistor T16 transmits the low level signal of the first level end VGL to the gating output end OUTx, and the gating output end OUTx outputs an invalid level.

In addition, the first capacitor C1 couples the low-level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK to the second node N2, so as to adjust the low-level voltage of the second node N2 down to a level voltage lower than that of the first level terminal VGL. This allows the low-level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK to be transmitted more fully to the cascaded output terminal OUT, so as to avoid the problem of step voltage when the cascaded output terminal OUT outputs an invalid level.

This allows the low level of the first node N1 to better control the full conduction of the fourth transistor T4, the eleventh transistor T11, and the sixteenth transistor T16. The fourth transistor T4 transmits the low-level signal of the first level terminal VGL to the cascaded output terminal OUT, which outputs an invalid level.
