[0053] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, identical numbers in different figures represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application.

As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "the," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0055] The transistors used in this application can be triodes, thin film transistors, field effect transistors or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of this application, in order to distinguish the two electrodes of the transistor except the control electrode, one of the electrodes is called the first electrode and the other is called the second electrode.

[0056] In actual operation, when the transistor is a triode, the control electrode may be a base, the first electrode may be a collector, and the second electrode may be an emitter; or, the control electrode may be a base, the first electrode may be an emitter, and the second electrode may be a collector.

[0057] In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor, the control electrode can be a gate, the first electrode can be a drain, and the second electrode can be a source; or, the control electrode can be a gate, the first electrode can be a source, and the second electrode can be a drain.

[0058] Pixel circuits typically use a combination of transistors and capacitors to drive the organic light-emitting elements (OLEDs), such as a 3T1C circuit. However, this circuit suffers from poor uniformity, necessitating a compensation circuit to achieve uniform OLED light emission. A common compensation method involves external compensation using a GOA (Gate on Array) circuit to improve device uniformity.

[0059] As shown in Figure 1, the external compensation signal is typically composed of a combination of "row shift" and "frame shift" signals. The signal during the blanking period (Blanking Time) of a frame is the frame shift signal. Frame shift is further divided into sequential frame shift and random frame shift. In the sequential frame shift compensation method, the gate drive circuit can output drive signals to the pixels row by row to compensate the pixel drive circuit; in the random frame shift compensation method, the gate drive circuit can output compensation drive signals to any row of pixels in any frame to compensate the pixel drive transistors. However, the sequential frame shift compensation method is prone to generating compensation stripes, resulting in poor display.

[0060] As shown in FIG2 , a GOA unit for realizing random frame shifting is provided. However, the GOA units in the figure are all independent and are connected to different signals completely through the gating circuit in the dotted box in the figure, thereby achieving the purpose of gating the row. However, there are too many transistors in the dotted box, making the layout very difficult; and shielding the S point is not conducive to suppressing noise.

[0061] As shown in FIG3 , the present application discloses an integrated circuit unit, comprising: an input control subcircuit 100 , an input subcircuit 200 , an output control subcircuit 300 , an output circuit 400 , a first pull-down control subcircuit 500 , a second pull-down control subcircuit 600 , and a pull-down subcircuit 700 . The input control subcircuit 100 is electrically connected to the selection signal terminal DA, the third clock signal terminal CLKD3, and the first node N, and controls the first node N according to the selection signal terminal DA and the third clock signal terminal CLKD3; the input subcircuit 200 is electrically connected to the second clock signal terminal CLKD2, the first node N, the first level signal terminal GVDD1, and the second node P, and controls the second node P according to the second clock signal terminal CLKD2 and the first node N; the output control subcircuit 300 is electrically connected to the fourth clock signal terminal CLKD4, the second node P, the first level signal terminal GVDD1, and multiple third nodes Q(n), and controls the multiple third nodes Q(n) according to the fourth clock signal terminal CLKD4 and the second node P; the output circuit 400 includes multiple output subcircuits, and the multiple output subcircuits are respectively connected to the multiple third nodes Q(n), the multiple fifth clock signal terminals CLKE(n), and the multiple output terminals SCOUT(n) is electrically connected to the fifth level signal terminal VGL1, and outputs a driving signal under the control of the third node Q(n) and the fifth clock signal terminal CLKE(n); the first pull-down control sub-circuit 500 is electrically connected to the third node Q(n), the second level signal terminal GVDD2, the third level signal terminal VGL2, and the fourth node QB, respectively, and controls the fourth node QB according to the third node Q(n); the second pull-down control sub-circuit 600 is electrically connected to the second node P, the fourth clock signal terminal CLKD4, the fourth node QB, and the fourth level signal terminal LVGL, respectively, and controls the fourth node QB according to the second node P and the fourth clock signal terminal CLKD4; the pull-down sub-circuit 700 is electrically connected to the fourth node QB, the third node Q(n), the fourth level signal terminal LVGL, and the third clock signal terminal CLKD3, respectively, and controls the third node Q(n) according to the fourth node QB and the third clock signal terminal CLKD3.

[0062] As shown in FIG4 , in a first phase S1, a rising edge of the second clock signal terminal CLKD2 arrives, while the first node N is in a closed state and the second node P is set to a high potential. In a second phase S2, the second node P remains at a high potential. In a third phase S3, a rising edge of the fourth clock signal terminal CLKD4 arrives, setting the third node Q(n) to a high potential. In a fourth phase S4, the fourth clock signal terminal CLKD4 is closed, and multiple fifth clock signal terminals CLKE(n) sequentially arrive at rising edges, and the integrated circuit unit outputs. After the integrated circuit unit outputs, a rising edge of the third clock signal terminal CLKD3 arrives, pulling the third node Q(n) low. CLKE(n) refers to CLKE1, CLKE2, CLKE16, and so on.

[0063] The integrated circuit unit proposed in this application uses a gate signal terminal DA to achieve the purpose of gating the row, avoiding the use of excessive transistors, thus occupying less space and facilitating the realization of a narrow frame. In addition, the present application provides multiple output sub-circuits, so that multiple compensation signals can be output within a single GOA unit.

[0064] In one embodiment, the input control subcircuit 100 includes a plurality of gating transistors connected in parallel. The number of the gating transistors is less than or equal to the number of the gating signal terminals, and the control electrode of each gating transistor is connected to one of the gating signal terminals. It can be seen that as long as at least one gating transistor is connected, the control subcircuit 100 can control the first node N under the control of the third clock signal terminal CLKD3.

[0065] Further, referring to Figure 5 , the first electrodes of the plurality of parallel-connected gate transistors are electrically connected to the third clock signal terminal, the second electrodes of the gate transistors are electrically connected to the first node N, and the control electrodes of the gate transistors are electrically connected to the gate signal DA to control the first node N. Based on the above structural arrangement, the gate signal DA can control the potential of the first node N. The number of parallel-connected gate transistors can be varied as needed, and can be 1, 3, 6, 8, or 11, etc. The number of gate signal terminals is greater than or equal to the number of gate transistors, and the control electrode of each gate transistor is connected to a gate signal terminal. This embodiment uses eight gate transistors and eight gate signal terminals as an example. The eight gate transistors are the second transistor T1 to the ninth transistor T8, and the eight gate signal terminals are the first gate signal terminal D0 to the eighth gate signal terminal D7. The eight gate transistors are connected to the eight gate signal terminals accordingly. One cycle of the eighth gate signal terminal D7 can cover 28 cycles of the first gate signal terminal D0. One high level segment of the eighth selection signal terminal D7 can cover 27 cycles of the first selection signal terminal D0.

[0066] Furthermore, referring to Figures 11 and 12, among the select signal terminals connected to the plurality of select transistors, the pulse width of the select signal at the nth select signal terminal is twice the pulse width of the select signal at the n-1th select signal terminal, where n is an integer greater than 1. With this arrangement, the connectivity of the select signal terminals can be set simply by connecting them in sequence. Furthermore, the high-level width and the low-level width of the select signal in one cycle of each select signal terminal can be made equal. The equal high-level width and the low-level width can also ensure that the output after connection is performed in the order of Figure 11, thereby allowing the entire GOA unit to operate normally.

[0067] Optionally, the number of selection signal terminals can be greater than 8, and a selection signal terminal with a phase opposite to any one of the first selection signal terminal D0 to the eighth selection signal terminal D7 can be added. For example, a ninth selection signal terminal D0' with a phase opposite to the first selection signal terminal D0 can be added. Or 8 signal terminals, from the ninth selection signal terminal D0' to the sixteenth selection signal terminal D7', with phases opposite to the first selection signal terminal D0 to the eighth selection signal terminal D7, can be added. One of a pair of selection signal terminals with opposite phases is selected to be connected to the control electrode of the selection transistor. Taking 8 pairs of selection signal terminals with opposite phases as an example, there can be 28 combinations, which can achieve 28 effective outputs with different timings. Therefore, the present application can achieve local high refresh of at least 28 rows.

[0068] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the present application also includes a third pull-down sub-circuit, which is electrically connected to the second clock signal terminal CLKD2, the third clock signal terminal CLKD3, and the first node N, respectively, and controls the first node N according to the second clock signal terminal CLKD2 and the third clock signal terminal CLKD3.

[0069] The third pull-down sub-circuit includes a ninth transistor T9, wherein the control electrode, the first electrode, and the second electrode of the ninth transistor T9 are electrically connected to the second clock signal terminal CLKD2, the third clock signal terminal CLKD3, and the first node N, respectively. When the rising edge of the second clock signal terminal CLKD2 arrives, the ninth transistor T9 is turned on, and the potential of the first node N is pulled low.

[0070] In one embodiment, as shown in reference figure 5, the output sub-circuit includes a capacitor, an output transistor and a pull-down transistor, the first electrode of the capacitor and the control electrode of the output transistor are electrically connected to the third node Q(n) as the control electrode of the output sub-circuit, the first electrode of the output transistor is electrically connected to the fifth clock signal terminal CLKE(n), the second electrode of the capacitor and the second electrode of the output transistor are jointly used as the output terminal; the first control terminal and the first terminal of the pull-down transistor are electrically connected to the fourth node QB and the second electrode of the output transistor, respectively, and the second terminal of the pull-down transistor is electrically connected to the fifth level signal terminal VGL1 as the third terminal of the output sub-circuit.

The first output sub-circuit includes a capacitor C2, a 40th transistor T40, and a 41st transistor T41.

The first control terminal and the first terminal of the 41st transistor T41 are electrically connected to the fourth node QB and the second electrode of the 40th transistor T40, respectively.

The fourth output sub-circuit includes a capacitor C5, a 46th transistor T46, and a 47th transistor T47. The connection methods of each output sub-circuit are the same and will not be described here one by one.

[0072] Based on the above description, when the voltage of the fourth node QB is positive, each output sub-circuit is pulled low to prevent erroneous output.

[0073] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, the pull-down sub-circuit 700 includes a first sub-pull-down sub-circuit 710 and a second sub-pull-down sub-circuit 720; the first sub-pull-down sub-circuit 710 is electrically connected to the fourth node QB, the third node Q(n), the fourth level signal terminal LVGL, and the fifth node X, respectively, and controls the third node Q(n) according to the fourth node QB; the second sub-pull-down sub-circuit 720 is electrically connected to the third node Q(n), the fifth node X, and the third clock signal terminal CLKD3, respectively, and controls the third node Q(n) according to the third clock signal terminal CLKD3.

[0074] Specifically, the first sub-pull-down sub-circuit 710 includes multiple transistors, the control electrodes of the transistors are electrically connected to the fourth node QB, the first ends of the transistors are electrically connected to the third node Q(n), and the second ends of the transistors are electrically connected to the fourth level signal terminal LVGL.
