[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202310932536.6 filed in China on July 27, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a driving circuit, a driving method, and a display device. Background Art
[0004] In the related art, the first node control circuit includes a transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the input terminal, and a transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the reset terminal. Taking the case where the drive circuit is in a forward scanning state as an example, the drive circuit is only turned on within a frame and is in a closed state for the rest of the time. At this time, the potential of the first node is a low voltage (assuming it is -8V), and the first scanning voltage terminal provides a high voltage signal (assuming the first scanning voltage terminal provides an 8V voltage signal). For the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the input terminal, the gate is connected to the low voltage signal, so there is a long-term bias between the source and drain of the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the input terminal. The drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the input terminal is 16V, which accelerates the aging of the transistor and causes characteristic drift, resulting in abnormal output of the drive circuit. Similarly, there will also be a long-term bias between the source and drain of the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the reset terminal, which is included in the first node control circuit, causing the aging of the transistor to accelerate.

[0093] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0094] The transistors used in all embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors, field effect transistors, or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, to distinguish the two electrodes of the transistor except the gate, one electrode is referred to as the first electrode and the other electrode is referred to as the second electrode.
[0095] In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor, the first electrode may be a drain electrode, and the second electrode may be a source electrode; or, the first electrode may be a source electrode, and the second electrode may be a drain electrode.
[0096] As shown in FIG1 , the driving circuit according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first node control circuit 11 ;
[0097] The first node control circuit 11 is electrically connected to the first node PU_CN, the first scanning voltage terminal CN, the second scanning voltage terminal CNB, the first control clock signal terminal CKC1, the second control clock signal terminal CKC2, the input terminal I1 and the reset terminal RST, respectively, and is used to control the connection or disconnection between the first node PU_CN and the first scanning voltage terminal CN under the control of the first control clock signal provided by the first control clock signal terminal CKC1 and the input signal provided by the input terminal I1, and to control the connection or disconnection between the first node PU_CN and the second scanning voltage terminal CNB under the control of the second control clock signal provided by the second control clock signal terminal CKC2 and the reset signal provided by the reset terminal RST.
[0098] Optionally, the first control clock signal terminal CKC1 may be a fourth clock signal terminal, and the second control clock signal terminal CKC2 may be a second clock signal terminal, but the sequence is not limited thereto.
[0099] In the related art, the first node control circuit includes a transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the input terminal I1, and a transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the reset terminal RST. Taking the driving circuit in the forward scanning state as an example, the driving circuit is only turned on within one frame and is in the off state for the rest of the time. At this time, the potential of PU_CN is a low voltage (assuming it is -8V), and CN provides a high voltage signal (assuming CN provides an 8V voltage signal). For the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the input terminal I1, the gate is connected to the low voltage signal. Therefore, there is a long-term bias between the source and drain of the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the input terminal I1. The drain-source voltage Vds of the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the input terminal I1 is 16V. The aging speed of the transistor is accelerated, the characteristics drift, and the output of the driving circuit is abnormal. Similarly, there will also be a long-term bias between the source and drain of the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the reset terminal RST, which is included in the first node control circuit, causing the aging speed of the transistor to be accelerated.
[0100] Based on this, in the driving circuit described in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node control circuit 11 controls the connection or disconnection between the first node PU_CN and the first scanning voltage terminal CN under the control of the first control clock signal and the input signal, so that there will be no long-term bias between the source and drain of the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the input terminal I1 included in the first node control circuit 11, and there will be no long-term bias between the source and drain of the transistor whose gate is electrically connected to the reset terminal RST included in the first node control circuit 11, which will not cause the aging speed of the transistor to be accelerated, so that the output of the driving circuit is normal.
[0101] The driving circuit described in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure can perform bidirectional scanning;
[0102] When the driving circuit is in a forward scanning state, CN outputs a high voltage signal and CNB outputs a low voltage signal;
[0103] When the driving circuit is in a reverse scanning state, CN outputs a low voltage signal and CNB outputs a high voltage signal.
[0104] Optionally, the driving circuit described in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure may further include an output circuit;

[0111] The first output node PU is electrically connected to the first node PU_CN.
[0112] Optionally, the output clock signal terminal CKO may be a first clock signal terminal, but is not limited thereto.
[0113] The driving circuit according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure further includes an on-off control circuit;
[0114] The on-off control circuit is electrically connected to the first voltage terminal, the first node and the first output node respectively, and is used to control the connection between the first node and the first output node under the control of a first voltage signal provided by the first voltage terminal.
[0115] In a specific implementation, the driving circuit described in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure may further include an on-off control circuit, which controls the connection between the first node and the first output node under the control of the first voltage signal.
[0116] Optionally, when the transistor included in the on-off control circuit is an n-type transistor, the first voltage end may be a high voltage end; when the transistor included in the on-off control circuit is a p-type transistor, the first voltage end may be a low voltage end.
[0117] As shown in FIG3 , based on at least one embodiment of the driving circuit described in FIG1 , the driving circuit described in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure may further include an output circuit 21 and an on / off control circuit 31 ;
[0118] The output circuit 21 is electrically connected to the first output node PU, the output clock signal terminal CKO and the driving output terminal OT respectively, and is used to control the output clock signal provided by the output clock signal terminal CKO to be written into the driving output terminal OT under the control of the potential of the first output node PU;
[0119] The on-off control circuit 31 is electrically connected to the first voltage terminal V1, the first node PU_CN and the first output node PU respectively, and is used to control the connection between the first node PU_CN and the first output node PU under the control of the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage terminal V1.
[0120] The driving circuit according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a first control circuit and a second control circuit;

[0123] In a specific implementation, the driving circuit may further include a first control circuit and a second control circuit;
[0124] The first control circuit controls the connection or disconnection between the second output node and the second voltage terminal under the control of the potential of the first node;
[0125] When the first control circuit controls the second output node to be connected to the second voltage terminal, the second control circuit controls the second output node to be disconnected from the third voltage terminal under the control of a first control signal provided by the first control terminal.
[0126] Optionally, the second voltage terminal may be a low voltage terminal, and the third voltage terminal may be a high voltage terminal.
[0127] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the first control circuit and the second control circuit, the transistors included in the first control circuit and the transistors included in the second control circuit will not turn on at the same time, thereby avoiding the DC path formed by the simultaneous opening of the two transistors in the related design, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the driving circuit and improve the service life of the TFT (thin film transistor).
[0128] Moreover, when the driving circuit described in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure is in operation, when the potential of the first output node is pulled high, there is no signal to pull up the potential of the second output node, thereby avoiding the situation in which the potential of the first output node and the potential of the second output node are pulled high at the same time in the original design. This allows the potential of the first output node to maintain a higher potential, improves the competitive relationship between the first output node and the second output node, and makes the output state of the driving circuit more stable.

[0242] In at least one embodiment shown in FIG. 16 of the present disclosure, T2 is added between T1 and CN, and T4 is added between T3 and CNB. T2 acts as a voltage divider for T1, and T4 acts as a voltage divider for T3. The bias voltage between CN and PU_CN is shared by T1 and T2, improving the bias environment of T1. The bias voltage between CNB and PU_CN is shared by T3 and T4, improving the bias environment of T3 and enhancing the reliability of the drive circuit. Simultaneously, when the potential of PU_CN increases, the gate potential of T6 remains low, and T6 is turned off. This avoids the DC path between the clock signal terminal and the low voltage terminal caused by the simultaneous opening of two transistors in the original design, effectively reducing the power consumption of the drive circuit and increasing the service life of the transistors.
[0243] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure shown in FIG16 , while the PU potential is being pulled high, no signal is pulling up the PD potential. This prevents the PU and PD potentials in the associated drive circuit from being pulled high simultaneously, allowing the PU potential to maintain a relatively high level, improving the competitive relationship between the PU and PD, and making the output state of the drive circuit more stable. Furthermore, the redundant transistor in the original model (the gate of the redundant transistor is electrically connected to the drive output terminal, the first electrode of the redundant transistor is electrically connected to the second output node, and the second electrode of the redundant transistor is electrically connected to the low voltage terminal) is removed, saving space occupied by the drive circuit and achieving a narrow-frame design.
