Benefits of technology

[0016] In this application, by setting up a partial refresh control module, in partial refresh mode, if the nd-th level is a non-refresh line and the current level is a refresh line, at the start of the non-overlapping period of the current level's clock signal, the pull-up node of the current level is electrically connected to the drive control node of the current level, and the drive control node of the current level is charged during the non-overlapping period of the current level's clock signal. The drive control node of the nd-th level has no voltage, and the drive output module of the nd-th level will not output the gate drive signal, thus avoiding display abnormalities in the partial refresh area. The voltage of the pull-up node of the current level will be transmitted to the drive control node of the current level, and the drive output module of the current level will output the gate drive signal to realize partial refresh of the display line board. Furthermore, charging the drive control node of the current level during the non-overlapping period of the current level's clock signal can promote the conduction of the drive output module of the current level, making the gate drive signal of the current level more stable. If the current level is a refresh row and the (n+d)th level is a non-refresh row, the clock signal at the (n+di)th level controls the pull-up node of the current level to disconnect from the drive control node of the current level. The drive output module of the current level will then output a gate drive signal to achieve partial refresh of the display line board. Charging the drive control node of the current level during the overlapping period of the clock signal at the (nj)th level ensures the charging duration of the drive control node and makes the gate drive signal of the current level more stable. Since the drive control node of the (n+d)th level has no pre-charge voltage, the drive output module of the (n+d)th level will not output a gate drive signal, thus avoiding display abnormalities in the partial refresh area.

[0016] In this application, by setting up a partial refresh control module, in partial refresh mode, if the nd-th level is a non-refresh line and the current level is a refresh line, at the start of the non-overlapping period of the current level's clock signal, the pull-up node of the current level is electrically connected to the drive control node of the current level, and the drive control node of the current level is charged during the non-overlapping period of the current level's clock signal.

Charging the drive control node of the current level during the overlapping period of the clock signal at the (nj)th level ensures the charging duration of the drive control node and makes the gate drive signal of the current level more stable. Since the drive control node of the (n+d)th level has no pre-charge voltage, the drive output module of the (n+d)th level will not output a gate drive signal, thus avoiding display abnormalities in the partial refresh area.

[0027] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0028] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a gate driving circuit according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 As shown, the gate driving circuit includes N cascaded gate driving units 100. The nth gate driving unit 100 includes: a pull-up module 110, a stage output module 120, a local brush control module 130, and a drive output module 140. The pull-up module 110 is connected to the pull-up node Qn of the current stage. The stage output module 120 is connected to the pull-up node Qn of the current stage and the clock signal line CKm of the current stage. The local brush control module 130 is connected to the pull-up node Qn of the current stage and the drive control node Qsn of the current stage. The drive output module 140 is connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage and the clock signal line CKm of the current stage.

[0029] In some embodiments, the pull-up module 110 is configured to charge the pull-up node Qn of the current stage in response to the output signal of the nth stage gate drive unit 100.

[0030] For example, i can be 2, and the output signal of the ni-th gate drive unit 100 can be the stage transmission signal of the ni-th stage. When the pull-up module 110 receives the stage transmission signal of the ni-th stage, the pull-up module 110 is turned on to charge the pull-up node Qn of the current stage so as to generate a voltage on the pull-up node Qn of the current stage.

[0031] In some embodiments, the stage transmission module 120 is configured to output the stage transmission signal of the current stage under the action of the voltage on the pull-up node Qn of the current stage and the clock signal of the current stage.

[0032] For example, when there is a voltage on the pull-up node Qn of the current stage and the clock signal of the current stage arrives, the stage transmission module 120 will be turned on and output the stage transmission signal of the current stage for stage transmission, which will act on the gate drive unit 100 of the adjacent stage.

[0033] In some embodiments, the local refresh control module 130 is configured to: in local refresh mode, if the nd-th level is a non-refresh line and the current level is a refresh line, at the start of the non-overlapping period of the current level clock signal, control the pull-up node Qn of the current level to be electrically connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current level, and charge the drive control node Qsn of the current level during the non-overlapping period of the current level clock signal; if the current level is a refresh line and the (n+d)-th level is a non-refresh line, at the start of the (n+di)-th level clock signal, control the pull-up node Qn of the current level to be disconnected from the drive control node Qsn of the current level, and charge the drive control node Qsn of the current level during the overlapping period of the (nj)-th level clock signal; where j is greater than i, and i is greater than d.

[0034] It should be noted that in global refresh mode, the stage-by-stage signals in the display panel are transmitted normally, with each stage outputting a gate drive signal to refresh the pixels; in partial refresh mode, some gate drive units 100 in the display panel output gate drive signals to partially refresh the pixels, without each stage of gate drive unit 100 needing to output a gate drive signal to refresh the pixels. Each stage clock signal includes overlapping and non-overlapping periods. The non-overlapping period of the current stage clock signal represents the period during which the nth stage clock signal and the nd stage clock signal do not overlap.

[0035] For example, d can be 1. If the nd-th stage is a non-refresh line and the current stage is a refresh line, that is, when switching from a non-refresh line to a refresh line, at the beginning of the non-overlapping period of the current stage's clock signal, the pull-up node Qn of the current stage is electrically connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage, and the drive control node Qsn of the current stage is charged during the non-overlapping period of the current stage's clock signal. For the nd-th stage, the drive control node of the nd-th stage has no pre-charge voltage. When the clock signal of the nd-th stage arrives, the drive output module 140 of the nd-th stage will not output a gate drive signal, thus avoiding abnormal edge display of the local refresh area; for the current stage, the voltage of the pull-up node Qn of the current stage. The signal will be transmitted to the current stage's drive control node Qsn. At the start of the non-overlapping period of the current stage's clock signal, under the influence of the voltage of the current stage's drive control node Qsn and the current stage's clock signal, the drive output module 140 will output the current stage's gate drive signal to refresh the pixels, thereby achieving partial refresh of the display panel. Furthermore, the current stage charges the voltage of the current stage's drive control node Qsn during the non-overlapping period of the current stage's clock signal, increasing the drive voltage of the current stage's drive output module 140. This can promote the conduction of the current stage's drive output module 140, making the gate drive signal output by the drive output module 140 more stable.

[0036] For example, if the current level is a refresh line and the (n+d)th level is a non-refresh line (i.e., when switching from a refresh line to a non-refresh line), at the beginning of the (n+di)th level clock signal, the pull-up node Qn of the current level is disconnected from the drive control node Qsn of the current level. During the overlapping period of the (nj)th level clock signal, the drive control node Qsn of the current level is charged. For the current level, the (n+di)th level clock signal overlaps with the (ni)th level clock signal. The drive control node Qsn of the current level only pre-charges during the non-overlapping period of the (ni)th level clock signal. This results in a shorter voltage charging time for the drive control node Qsn of the current level. During the overlapping period of the (nj)th level clock signal, the (nj)th level will... The output stage transmits signals to charge the current stage's drive control node Qsn, which increases the voltage of Qsn and promotes the conduction of the drive output module 140. This makes the gate drive signal of the current stage output by the drive output module 140 more stable and refreshes the pixels of the current stage, thus achieving partial refresh of the display panel. For the (n+d)th stage, when the clock signal of the (n+d)th stage starts, the pull-up node of the (n+d)th stage is disconnected from the drive control node of the (n+d)th stage, and there is no voltage on the drive control node of the (n+d)th stage. When the clock signal of the (n+d)th stage arrives, the gate drive signal of the (n+d)th stage will not be output, thus avoiding abnormal edge display of the partial refresh area.

[0037] In some embodiments, the drive output module 140, connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage and the clock signal line CKm of the current stage, is configured to output the gate drive signal of the current stage under the action of the voltage of the drive control node Qsn of the current stage and the clock signal of the current stage.

[0038] For example, when there is a voltage on the current stage's drive control node Qsn and the current stage's clock signal arrives, the drive output module 140 will be turned on to output the current stage's gate drive signal, thereby refreshing the current pixel.

[0039] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of another gate drive circuit provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 As shown, the local brush control module 130 includes: a switch control submodule 131, a precharge submodule 132, and a drive auxiliary submodule 133. The switch control submodule 131 is connected to the pull-up node Qn and the drive control node Qsn of the current stage. The precharge submodule 132 is connected to the stage output module 120 of the ni stage, the clock signal line CKm-i of the ni stage, and the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage. The drive auxiliary submodule 133 is connected to the drive control node Qsn and the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage.

[0040] In some embodiments, the switch control submodule 131 is configured to: in partial refresh mode, if the nd-th level is a non-refresh line and the current level is a refresh line, at the start of the non-overlapping period of the current level clock signal, control the pull-up node Qn of the current level to be electrically connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current level; if the current level is a refresh line and the (n+d)-th level is a non-refresh line, at the start of the (n+di)-th level clock signal, control the pull-up node Qn of the current level to be disconnected from the drive control node Qsn of the current level.

[0041] In some embodiments, the pre-charge submodule 132 is configured to charge the auxiliary control node Bn of the current level under the action of the nj-th stage transmission signal and the ni-th stage clock signal.

[0042] In some embodiments, the drive auxiliary submodule 133 is configured to: in partial refresh mode, if the nd-th level is a non-refresh line and the current level is a refresh line, during the non-overlapping period of the current level clock signal, control the auxiliary control node Bn of the current level to charge the drive control node Qsn of the current level; in partial refresh mode, if the current level is a refresh line and the (n+d)-th level is a non-refresh line, during the overlapping period of the (nj)-th level clock signal, control the auxiliary control node Bn of the current level to charge the drive control node Qsn of the current level.

[0043] For example, d can be 1, i can be 2, and j can be 4. If the nd-th stage is a non-refresh line and the current stage is a refresh line, for the ni-th stage, when the clock signal of the current stage starts, the switch control submodule 131 controls the pull-up node of the nd-th stage to be electrically connected to the drive control node of the nd-th stage. There is no pre-charge voltage on the drive control node of the nd-th stage, and the clock signal of the nd-th stage has ended at this time. The drive output module 140 of the nd-th stage will not output the gate drive signal of the current stage. For the current stage, the switch control submodule 131 controls the pull-up node Qn of the current stage to be electrically connected to the drive node of the current stage. The voltage of the pull-up node Qn of the current stage will be transmitted to the current stage. During the non-overlapping period of the current stage clock signal, the driving control node Qsn will control the driving output module 140 to output the gate driving signal of the current stage, thereby refreshing the pixels of the current stage. The pre-charge submodule 132 charges the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage under the action of the nj stage transmission signal. During the non-overlapping period of the current stage clock signal, the driving auxiliary submodule 133 controls the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage to connect with the driving control node Qsn of the current stage, thereby charging the driving control node Qsn of the current stage, increasing the voltage of the driving control node Qsn of the current stage, promoting the conduction of the driving output module 140, and making the output gate driving signal more stable.

[0044] For example, if the current level is a refresh row and the (n+d)th level is a non-refresh row, for the current level, the switch control submodule 131 controls the pull-up node Qn of the current level to disconnect from the drive control node Qsn of the current level during the initial period of the (n+di)th level clock signal. Since the (ni)th level signal and the (n+di)th level clock signal overlap, the pull-up node Qn of the current level will only be pre-charged during the non-overlapping period of the (ni)th level clock signal. This will result in a shorter voltage charging time for the drive control node Qsn of the current level. The pre-charging submodule 132 charges the auxiliary control node Bn of the current level under the action of the (nj)th level clock signal. The drive auxiliary submodule 133 controls the auxiliary control node Bn of the current level to charge with the drive control node Qsn of the current level during the overlapping period of the (nj)th level clock signal, which will increase the charging time of the drive control node Qsn of the current level and improve the voltage of the drive control node Qsn of the current level. The precharge voltage of stage n will output the gate drive signal of the current stage when the clock signal of the current stage arrives, thereby realizing partial refresh of the display panel. For stage n+d, the switch control submodule 131 controls the pull-up node of stage n+d to disconnect from the drive control node of stage n+d during the start period of the clock signal of stage n+di. The drive control node of stage n+d has no precharge voltage. During the overlapping period of the clock signal of stage nj, the stage transmission output module 120 of stage n+dj also does not output the stage transmission signal. The precharge submodule 132 of stage n+d will not control the auxiliary control node of stage n+d to charge. At this time, the drive auxiliary submodule 133 is turned on, and the auxiliary control node of stage n+d will not charge the drive control node of stage n+d. When the clock signal of stage n+d arrives, the gate drive signal of stage n+d will not be output, thus avoiding abnormal edge display of the partial refresh area.

[0045] Figure 3 A circuit diagram of a gate driving unit provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 As shown, the switch control submodule 131 includes: a first transistor T1; the control terminal of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first brush control terminal SW1, the first terminal of the first transistor T1 is connected to the pull-up node Qn of the current stage, and the second terminal of the first transistor T1 is connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage.

[0046] For example, when the control terminal of the first transistor T1 receives the first brush control signal output by the first brush control terminal SW1, the first transistor T1 is turned on, thereby controlling the pull-up node Qn of the current stage to be connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3As shown, the precharge submodule 132 includes: a first precharge group 1321 and a second precharge group 1322. The first precharge group 1321 is connected to the level transmission output module 120 of the njth level, the precharge control node An of the current level, and the auxiliary control node Bn of the current level. The second precharge group 1322 is connected to the clock signal line CKm-i of the nith level and the precharge control node An of the current level.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first precharge group 1321 is configured to: generate a voltage at the precharge control node An of the current stage under the action of the nj stage transmission signal, and charge the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage based on the voltage of the precharge control node An of the current stage.

[0049] For example, when the first precharge group 1321 receives the njth stage transmission signal, the first precharge group 1321 will generate a voltage on the precharge control node An of the current stage. At the same time, the voltage of the precharge control node An of the current stage will be transmitted to the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage for charging, so as to charge the drive control node Qsn of the current stage.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second precharge group 1322 is configured to increase the voltage of the precharge control node An of the current stage under the action of the ni-th stage clock signal.

[0051] For example, by setting the second precharge group 1322, when the clock signal of the ni stage arrives, the precharge control node An of the current stage will be bootstrapped, which will increase the voltage of the precharge control node An of the current stage, thereby increasing the voltage of the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage. When the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage is connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage, the voltage of the drive control node Qsn of the current stage will be higher, thereby promoting the conduction of the drive output module 140.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the first precharge group 1321 includes: a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, and a first capacitor C1; the control terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the stage transmission output module 120 of the njth stage, the first terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the stage transmission output module 120 of the njth stage, and the second terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the precharge control node An of the current stage; the control terminal of the third transistor T3 is connected to the precharge control node An of the current stage, the first terminal of the third transistor T3 is connected to the precharge control node An of the current stage, and the second terminal of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first terminal of the first capacitor C1; the second terminal of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage.

[0053] For example, when the control terminal of the second transistor T2 receives the stage transmission signal of the njth stage, and the first terminal of the second transistor T2 receives the stage transmission signal of the njth stage, the second transistor T2 is turned on, generating a voltage on the pre-charge control node An of the current stage; when the control terminal of the third transistor T3 receives the voltage of the pre-charge control node An of the current stage, and the first terminal of the third transistor T3 receives the voltage of the pre-charge control node An of the current stage, the third transistor T3 is turned on, charging the first capacitor C1, generating a voltage on the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the second precharge group includes: a fourth transistor T4, a second capacitor C2, and a fifth transistor T5; the control terminal of the fourth transistor T4 and the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 are connected to the precharge control node An of the current stage, the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the clock signal line of the ni stage, and the second terminal of the fourth transistor T4 and the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 are connected to the auxiliary pull-up node Cn of the current stage; the control terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the noise reduction control node Pn-i of the ni stage, the first terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the auxiliary pull-up node Cn of the current stage, and the second terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the low-level terminal VSS.

[0055] For example, the voltage of the current precharge control node will control the fourth transistor T4 to turn on and charge the second capacitor C2. When the clock signal of the ni stage arrives, the voltage output by the fourth transistor T4 will bootstrap the current stage precharge control node An through the second capacitor C2, thereby increasing the voltage of the current stage precharge control node An and thus increasing the voltage of the current stage auxiliary control node Bn.

[0056] For example, when the control terminal of the fifth transistor T5 receives the voltage of the noise reduction control node of the nith stage, the fifth transistor T5 turns on, pulls down the auxiliary pull-up node Cn of the current stage to a low potential, and discharges the voltage of the auxiliary pull-up node Cn of the current stage so that the pre-charge control node An of the current stage can be charged again in the next scan frame.

[0057] In some embodiments, the auxiliary submodule includes: a sixth transistor T6; the control terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second brush control terminal SW2, the first terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the precharge control node An of the current stage, and the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage.

[0058] For example, when the control terminal of the sixth transistor T6 receives the second brush control signal output by the second brush control terminal SW2, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, realizing the electrical connection between the current stage auxiliary control node Bn and the current stage drive control node Qsn, and the voltage of the current stage auxiliary control node Bn will be transmitted to the current stage drive control node Qsn.

[0059] Figure 4 This paper shows a first operating timing diagram of a gate driving circuit according to an embodiment of this application. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, if the nd stage is a non-refresh line and the current stage is a refresh line, for the nd stage, the control terminal of the sixth transistor T6 charges the drive control node of the nd stage at the beginning of the non-overlapping period of the current stage clock signal (t9). The first transistor T1 receives the first refresh control signal at the beginning of the non-overlapping period of the current stage clock signal (t9), and the first transistor T1 turns on to charge the drive control node of the nd stage. However, at this time, the clock signal of the nd stage has ended, and the drive output module 140 will not output the gate drive signal of the nd stage.

[0060] For example, for the current stage, the first transistor T1 receives the first refresh control signal during the non-overlapping period of the current stage clock signal and turns on, controlling the electrical connection between the pull-up node Qn and the drive control node Qsn of the current stage. The pull-up node Qn of the current stage charges the drive control node Qsn of the current stage. The second transistor T2 turns on under the action of the njth stage clock signal and charges the precharge control node An of the current stage. The fourth transistor T4 turns on under the action of the precharge control node An of the current stage and the nith stage clock signal. 4 is turned on and boosts the pre-charge control node An of the current stage through the second capacitor C2. The third transistor T3 is turned on under the voltage of the pre-charge control node An of the current stage, charging the first capacitor C1 and generating a voltage on the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage. The sixth transistor T6 receives the second brush control signal at the beginning of the non-overlapping period of the current stage clock signal (t9) and turns on to charge the drive control node Qsn of the current stage. During the non-overlapping period of the current stage clock signal, the drive output module 140 will output the current gate drive signal.

[0061] Figure 5 A second timing diagram of a gate drive circuit according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, if the current level is a non-refresh line and the (n+d)th level is also a non-refresh line, for the current level, the control terminal of the first transistor T1 receives the first refresh control signal at the beginning of the (n+di)th level clock signal (t6) and turns on, controlling the electrical connection between the pull-up node Qn and the drive control node Qsn of the current level. For the current level, the drive control node Qsn of the current level is charged during the overlapping period (t4~t5) of the nith level clock signal. Compared with the pre-charge period of the normal level, the pre-charge duration is shorter. The control terminal of the second transistor T2 turns on under the action of the njth level clock signal, generating electricity on the pre-charge control node An of the current level. The voltage of the precharge control node An of the current stage will charge the first capacitor C1 and generate a voltage on the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage. During the overlapping period of the clock signal of the njth stage (t3~t4), the control terminal of the sixth transistor T6 receives the second brush control signal and turns on, so that the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage charges the drive control node Qsn of the current stage, thereby increasing the precharge period of the drive control node Qsn of the current stage, thereby increasing the voltage of the drive control node Qsn of the current stage, promoting the turn-on of the drive output module 140 of the current stage, and making the gate drive signal of the current stage output by the drive output module 140 more stable.

[0062] For example, for the (n+d)th stage, at the start of the (n+di)th stage clock signal (t6), the pull-up node of the (n+d)th stage is disconnected from the drive control node of the (n+d)th stage, and the pull-up node of the (n+d)th stage will not charge the drive control node of the (n+d)th stage. When the control terminal of the sixth transistor T6 receives the second brush control signal during the overlapping period of the (nj)th stage clock signal, the second transistor T2 of the (n+d)th stage has not yet received the stage transmission signal of the (n+dj)th stage. There is no pre-charge voltage on the pre-charge control node of the (n+d)th stage, and the auxiliary control node of the (n+d)th stage will not charge the drive control node of the (n+d)th stage. Since there is no pre-charge voltage on the drive control node of the (n+d)th stage, the gate drive signal of the (n+d)th stage will not be output when the (n+d)th stage clock signal arrives.

[0063] Figure 6 A circuit diagram of another gate driving unit provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6As shown, the local brush control module 130 further includes a pull-up auxiliary submodule 134, which is connected to the current stage's auxiliary pull-up node Cn, the current stage's auxiliary control node Cn, and the input terminal of the pull-up module 110. It is configured to input the current stage's auxiliary pull-up signal to the pull-up module 110 under the action of the voltage of the current stage's auxiliary pull-up node and the voltage of the current stage's auxiliary control node Cn, so that the pull-up module 110 charges the current stage's drive control node Qsn under the action of the output signal of the ni-th stage gate drive unit 100 and the current stage's auxiliary pull-up signal. The pre-charge submodule 132 has an auxiliary pull-up node.

[0064] For example, by setting up the pull-up auxiliary submodule 134, the voltage of the auxiliary pull-up node Cn of the current stage is in the same timing as the stage transmission signal output of the ni stage. When there is voltage on the auxiliary pull-up node Cn of the current stage, the pull-up auxiliary submodule 134 is turned on, so that the voltage of the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage is input to the pull-up module 110. At the same time as the pull-up module 110 receives the stage transmission signal of the ni stage, it also receives the voltage of the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage. The pull-up module 110 charges the pull-up node Qn of the current stage so that the voltage of the drive control node Qsn of the current stage increases.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the pull-up auxiliary submodule 134 includes: a seventh transistor T7 and a third capacitor C3; the control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the auxiliary pull-up node Cn of the current stage, the first terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage, the second terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first terminal of the third capacitor C3, and the second terminal of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the input terminal of the pull-up module 110.

[0066] For example, when the control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 receives the voltage of the auxiliary pull-up node Cn of the current stage, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the voltage of the auxiliary control node Bn of the current stage will charge the third capacitor C3. The voltage stored in the third capacitor C3 will be input to the input terminal of the pull-up module 110, so that the charging voltage of the pull-up module 110 to the pull-up node Qn of the current stage is increased.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the pull-up module 110 includes: an eighth transistor T8, the control terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the stage output module 120 of the ni stage, the first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the stage output module 120 of the ni stage, and the second terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the pull-up node Qn of the current stage.

[0068] For example, when the control terminal of the eighth transistor T8 receives the stage transmission signal of the nith stage output module 120, and the first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 receives the stage transmission signal of the nith stage, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on to charge the pull-up node Qn of the current stage.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, when the pull-up module 110 is connected to the pull-up auxiliary submodule 134, the first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is also connected to the pull-up auxiliary submodule 134.

[0070] For example, the control terminal of the eighth transistor T8 receives the stage transmission signal of the ni stage. The first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 simultaneously receives the stage transmission signal of the ni stage and the voltage of the third capacitor C3. After the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, it will use the stage transmission signal of the ni stage and the voltage of the third capacitor C3 to charge the pull-up node Qn of the current stage, thereby increasing the voltage of the pull-up node Qn of the current stage.

[0071] In some embodiments, the stage output module 120 includes: a ninth transistor T9 and a fourth capacitor C4; the control terminal of the ninth transistor T9 and the first terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 are connected to the pull-up node Qn of the current stage, the first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the clock signal line CKm of the current stage, and the second terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the second terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 and serves as the output terminal Fn.

[0072] For example, when there is a voltage at the pull-up node Qn of the current stage, the ninth transistor T9 is turned on and charges the fourth capacitor C4. When the first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 receives the clock signal of the current stage, it will bootstrap the voltage of the pull-up node Qn of the current stage through the fourth capacitor C4, promoting the turn-on of the ninth transistor T9. The second terminal of the ninth transistor T9 outputs the stage transmission signal of the current stage.

[0073] In some embodiments, the drive output module 140 includes a tenth transistor T10 and a fifth capacitor C5. The control terminal of the tenth transistor T10 and the first terminal of the fifth capacitor C5 are connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage. The first terminal of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the clock signal line CKm of the current stage. The second terminal of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the second terminal of the fifth capacitor C5 and serves as the output terminal Gn.

[0074] For example, when the control terminal of the tenth transistor T10 receives the voltage of the current stage's drive control node Qsn, the tenth transistor T10 turns on and charges the fifth capacitor C5. When the first terminal of the tenth transistor T10 receives the current stage's clock signal, the tenth transistor T10 will bootstrap the voltage of the current stage's drive control node Qsn through the fifth capacitor C5, promoting the conduction of the tenth transistor T10. The second terminal of the tenth transistor T10 outputs the current stage's gate drive signal.

[0075] In some embodiments, the noise reduction module 150 includes: an eleventh transistor T11, a twelfth transistor T12, a thirteenth transistor T13, a fourteenth transistor T14, a fifteenth transistor T15, a sixteenth transistor T16, a seventeenth transistor T17, and an eighteenth transistor T18; the control terminal of the eleventh transistor T11 is connected to the first terminal of the eleventh transistor T11 and the first terminal of the twelfth transistor T12 to the noise reduction control terminal LC; the second terminal of the eleventh transistor T11 is connected to the control terminal of the twelfth transistor T12 and the first terminal of the thirteenth transistor T13; the second terminal of the twelfth transistor T12 is connected to the first terminal of the fourteenth transistor T14, the control terminal of the fifteenth transistor T15, the control terminal of the sixteenth transistor T16, the control terminal of the seventeenth transistor T17, and the control terminal of the eighteenth transistor T18. The noise reduction control node Pn of the current stage is connected. The control terminals of the thirteenth transistor T13 and the fourteenth transistor T14 are connected to the pull-up node Qn of the current stage. The second terminal of the thirteenth transistor T13, the second terminal of the fourteenth transistor T14, the second terminal of the fifteenth transistor T15, the second terminal of the sixteenth transistor T16, the second terminal of the seventeenth transistor T17, and the second terminal of the eighteenth transistor T18 are connected to the low-level terminal VSS. The first terminal of the fifteenth transistor T15 is connected to the pull-up control node Qn of the current stage. The first terminal of the sixteenth transistor T16 is connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage. The first terminal of the seventeenth transistor T17 is connected to the output terminal of the stage output module 120 of the current stage. The first terminal of the eighteenth transistor T18 is connected to the output terminal of the drive output module 140 of the current stage.

[0076] For example, the noise reduction control signal output by the LC terminal of the noise reduction control terminal is continuously high-level. When there is no voltage on the current stage's drive control node Qsn, the eleventh transistor T11 and the twelfth transistor T12 receive the high-level signal and turn on, generating a voltage on the current stage's noise reduction control node Pn. The current stage's noise reduction control node Pn will control the fifteenth transistor T15 to turn on, thereby pulling down the current stage's pull-up node Qn to a low potential, thus performing noise reduction on the current stage's pull-up node Qn; the sixteenth transistor... When transistor T16 is turned on, it pulls down the current stage's drive control node Qsn to a low potential, thus reducing noise at Qsn. Similarly, transistor T17 is turned on, pulling down the output of the current stage's stage output module 120 to a low potential, also reducing noise at its output. Finally, transistor T18 is turned on, pulling down the output of the current stage's drive output module 140 to a low potential, further reducing noise at its output. When there is voltage on the current stage's pull-up node Qn, transistors T13 and T14 will turn on, pulling down the current stage's noise reduction control node Pn to a low potential. Without voltage on Pn, transistors T15, T16, T17, and T18 will not turn on.

[0077] In some embodiments, the pull-down module 160 includes: a nineteenth transistor T19, a twentieth transistor T20, and a twenty-first transistor T21; the control terminals of the nineteenth transistor T19, the twentieth transistor T20, and the twenty-first transistor T21 are connected to the output terminal of the stage output module 120 of the (n+q)th stage; the first terminal of the nineteenth transistor T19 is connected to the pull-up node Qn of the current stage; the second terminal of the nineteenth transistor T19, the second terminal of the twentieth transistor T20, and the second terminal of the twenty-first transistor T21 are connected to the low-level terminal VSS; the first terminal of the twentieth transistor T20 is connected to the drive control node Qsn of the current stage; and the first terminal of the twenty-first transistor T21 is connected to the first terminal of the current stage and the output terminal of the drive output module 140 of the current stage.

[0078] For example, q can be 3. When the control terminals of the nineteenth transistor T19, the twentieth transistor T20, and the twenty-first transistor T21 receive the stage transmission signal of the (n+q)th stage, they will all be turned on. The nineteenth transistor T19 pulls down the pull-up node Qn of the current stage to a low potential, the twentieth transistor T20 pulls down the drive control node Qsn of the current stage to a low potential, and the twenty-first transistor T21 pulls down the output terminal of the drive output module 140 to a low potential, so as to control the drive output module 140 of the current stage to stop outputting the gate drive signal of the current stage. When the next scan frame arrives, the pull-up node Qn of the current stage is charged again.

[0079] It should be noted that the first brush control terminal SW1, the second brush control terminal SW2, and the noise reduction control terminal LC can all be output terminals of the timing controller. Each gate drive unit is connected to the first brush control terminal SW1, the second brush control terminal SW2, and the noise reduction control terminal LC. When the first brush control terminal SW1 sends the first brush control signal, the second brush control terminal SW2 sends the second brush control signal, and the noise reduction control terminal LC sends the noise reduction control signal, each gate drive unit can receive it.
