[0047] Detailed Explanation

[0048] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The implementation can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into other forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0049] In the accompanying drawings, the size of one or more constituent elements, the thickness of layers, or areas are sometimes exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, this disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shape and size of one or more parts in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate ideal examples, and this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0050] The ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit the quantity. The term "multiple" in this disclosure refers to two or more quantities.

[0051] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of the constituent elements being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0052] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or joint; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. "Joining" can include "electrical connection," which includes situations where constituent elements are connected together by a component having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the term "component having some electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission of electrical signals between the connected constituent elements. Examples of "component having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other multifunctional components. Those skilled in the art will understand the meaning of the above terms in this disclosure as appropriate.

[0053] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate (gate electrode), a drain, and a source. A transistor has a channel region between its drain (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and its source (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain, the channel region, and the source. In this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0054] In this specification, the first terminal can be the drain and the second terminal can be the source, or vice versa. Additionally, the gate can also be called the control terminal. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source" and "drain" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source" and "drain" can be interchanged.

[0055] In this specification, "approximately parallel" means that the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. In addition, "approximately perpendicular" means that the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.

[0056] In this specification, circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined. They can be approximate circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, such as chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.

[0057] In this specification, "approximately" and "roughly" mean without strictly defined limits, allowing for conditions within the permissible range of processes and measurements. In this disclosure, "roughly the same" means that the values ​​differ by no more than 10%.

[0058] In this specification, "A extends along direction B" means that A may include a main part and a secondary part connected to the main part. The main part is a line, line segment, or strip-shaped solid. The main part extends along direction B, and the length of the main part extending along direction B is greater than the length of the secondary part extending along other directions. In this specification, "A extends along direction B" refers to "the main part of A extends along direction B".

[0059] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0060] As a new type of high-tech product, Virtual Reality (VR) devices can simulate environments, perceive natural skills, and utilize sensing devices. To enhance the user experience, VR devices employ foveated rendering technology, which involves scanning a single line in the area the eye is focused on, while scanning at least two lines simultaneously in the non-focused area. The display device comprises multiple rows of sub-pixels, with the number of rows of sub-pixels in the focused area being less than the number of rows in the non-focused area. This foveated rendering technology reduces the scanning time per display frame. Foveated rendering technology is essential for achieving high PPI and high-frequency displays in VR devices.

[0061] In some specialized applications, display devices need to support both forward and reverse scanning. For example, a mobile phone screen can be displayed either upright or upside down. This requires the gate drive circuit to perform both top-down and bottom-up scanning. Current VR devices only support forward scanning and cannot support both forward and reverse scanning, resulting in lower reliability.

[0093] A shift register is disposed in a display device, which may include an eye-focused area and a non-eye-focused area. In an exemplary embodiment, when the display device displays in the eye-focused area, it includes a first scanning state and a second scanning state. The first scanning state refers to a forward scanning state where the start time of the driving signal provided by the gate driving circuit to the i-th row pixel driving circuit is earlier than the start time of the driving signal provided by the gate driving circuit to the (i+1)-th row pixel driving circuit. The second scanning state refers to a reverse scanning state where the start time of the driving signal provided by the gate driving circuit to the (i+1)-th row pixel driving circuit is earlier than the start time of the driving signal provided by the gate driving circuit to the i-th row pixel driving circuit.

[0094] In an exemplary embodiment, when the display device scans forward, the signal at the first control signal terminal CN is an active level signal, and the signal at the second control signal terminal CNB is an inactive level signal. At this time, the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twenty-second transistor T22 are turned on, while the twentieth transistor T20 and the twenty-first transistor T21 are turned off. That is, during forward scanning, the signal written to the first node N1 is the signal at the first scan input terminal IN1, and the signal written to the second node N2 is the signal at the first scan reset terminal RST1. When the display device scans backward, the signal at the first control signal terminal CN is an inactive level signal, and the signal at the second control signal terminal CNB is an active level signal. At this time, the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twenty-second transistor T22 are turned on, while the twentieth transistor T20 and the twenty-first transistor T21 are turned off. That is, during reverse scanning, the signal written to the first node N1 is the signal at the second scan input terminal IN2, and the signal written to the second node N2 is the signal at the second scan reset terminal RST2. In this context, "signal at the signal terminal is an effective level signal" implies that the signal terminal is electrically connected to the control electrode of the transistor. An effective level signal at the signal terminal is a signal that turns on the transistor connected to the signal terminal, while an ineffective level signal at the signal terminal is a signal that turns off the transistor connected to the signal terminal. For example, when the transistor connected to the signal terminal is an N-type transistor, the effective level signal at the signal terminal is a high level signal, and the ineffective level signal at the signal terminal is a low level signal. When the transistor connected to the signal terminal is a P-type transistor, the effective level signal at the signal terminal is a low level signal, and the ineffective level signal at the signal terminal is a high level signal.

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, transistors can be categorized into N-type transistors and P-type transistors based on their characteristics. When a transistor is a P-type transistor, the turn-on voltage is a low-level voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltage), and the turn-off voltage is a high-level voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltage). When a transistor is an N-type transistor, the turn-on voltage is a high-level voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, or other suitable voltage), and the turn-off voltage is a low-level voltage (e.g., 0V, -5V, -10V, or other suitable voltage).

[0096] In an exemplary embodiment, all transistors in the shift register are N-type transistors. Exemplarily, all transistors in the shift register can be metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors. Because MOS transistors have higher mobility and lower leakage current, using MOS transistors in the shift register can improve the refresh rate of the display product, enabling high-frequency displays, and also enabling low-frequency displays, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, any of the transistors in FIG2 is an N-type transistor.
