The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit, a display panel, and an electronic device.
Display technologies for electronic devices have always been one of key research directions. Generally, a display panel includes a light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit, and the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit outputs an enable signal to drive a light-emitting unit in the display panel to emit light.
At present, when the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit is in a high-temperature environment, due to device characteristics of thin film transistors, a threshold voltage is negatively biased, and a leakage current increases. As a result, when the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit outputs the enable signal, a voltage value of the output enable signal decreases, which leads to a brightness change of the light-emitting unit and abnormal display of the display panel.

The present disclosure provides a light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit 1. Referring to
Specifically, the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit 1 is generally applied to a display panel. The enable signal generated by the enable signal generation circuit 12 can drive a light-emitting unit in the display panel to emit light, so as to display an image.
It should be noted that the voltage signal generation circuit 11 is included in the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit 1, that is, the first voltage signal VGL and the second voltage signal VGL generated by the voltage signal generation circuit 11 are internal signals of the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit 1, without requiring the assistance of another voltage signal generation device, such as a chip and an additional power supply device.
Specifically, the enable signal generation circuit 12 further includes multiple thin film transistors, and the regulation circuit 13 inputs the second voltage signal VGH to the thin film transistors in the enable signal generation circuit 12 and controls the thin film transistors via the pull-up point PU and the pull-down point PD. Because the voltage value of the second voltage signal VGH is greater than that of the first voltage signal VGL, a source-gate voltage value of the thin film transistors is less than zero. According to a current-voltage characteristic curve of the thin film transistors, it can be concluded that when the source-gate voltage value of the thin film transistors is less than zero, a leakage current of the thin film transistors is greatly reduced, that is, a leakage current of the pull-up point PU is greatly reduced.
It can be understood that because multiple nodes in the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit 1 need to receive the first voltage signal VGL and the second voltage signal VGH simultaneously, the voltage signal generation circuit 11 saves a design space and reduces a hardware cost of the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit 1.
It can be understood that in this embodiment, the regulation circuit 13 regulates a leakage current of the enable signal generation circuit 12 based on the second voltage signal VGH, so that the leakage current of the enable signal generation circuit 12 is reduced, thereby keeping the enable signal generated by the enable signal generation circuit 12 stable.
In a possible embodiment, referring to
Specifically, when the first clock signal Eclkn is at a high potential, the first transistor M1 is turned on, so that the second voltage signal VGH charges the pull-up point PU. In this embodiment, the second voltage signal VGH is a direct current voltage signal. Compared with a conventional alternating current voltage signal, the second voltage signal VGH charges the pull-up point PU faster, which is beneficial to maintaining the voltage value of the pull-up point PU.
In a possible embodiment, referring to
Specifically, when the charging of the pull-up point PU by the second voltage signal VGH is completed, the pull-up point PU maintains at a high voltage. The first voltage signal VGL is input to the pull-down point PD, and because the pull-up point PU maintains a high potential, the second transistor M2 is turned on, so that the second voltage signal VGH is transmitted to the first electrode s of the fourth transistor M4 through the second transistor M2. In this embodiment, because the voltage value of the second voltage signal VGH is greater than that of the first voltage signal VGL, a voltage value between the first gate g1 of the fourth transistor M4 and the first electrode s of the fourth transistor M4 is less than 0 V. According to the current-voltage characteristic curve of the thin film transistors, it can be concluded that a leakage current of the fourth thin film transistors M4 is greatly reduced, so that the leakage current of the pull-up point PU is greatly reduced.
In a possible embodiment, referring to
Specifically, when charging of the pull-up point PU by the second voltage signal VGH is completed, the pull-up point PU maintains a high voltage. The first voltage signal VGL is input to the pull-down point PD, and because the pull-up point PU maintains a high potential, the second transistor M2 is turned on, so that the second voltage signal VGH is transmitted to the first electrode s of the fifth transistor M5 through the second transistor M2. In this embodiment, because the voltage value of the second voltage signal VGH is greater than that of the first voltage signal VGL, a voltage value between the first gate g1 of the fifth transistor M5 and the first electrode s of the fifth transistor M5 is less than 0 V. According to the current-voltage characteristic curve of the thin film transistors, it can be concluded that a leakage current of the fifth thin film transistor M5 is greatly reduced, so that the leakage current of the pull-up point PU is greatly reduced.
In other possible embodiments, the regulation circuit 13 may also transmit the second voltage signal VGH to the first electrode s of the fourth transistor M4 and the first electrode s of the fifth transistor M5 at the same time, so that the leakage currents of the fourth transistor M4 and the fifth transistor M5 are reduced. It can be understood that the present disclosure does not limit an electrical connection mode of the regulation circuit 13 provided that the transmission of the second voltage signal VGH by the regulation circuit 13 to the enabling signal generation circuit 12 is not affected.
In a possible embodiment, referring to
Specifically, the first scan signal G(n-1) is used to control on-off of the first switch transistor T1. When the first switch transistor T1 is turned on, the first scan signal G(n-1) is transmitted to the pull-down point PD through the first switch transistor T1. The second scan signal Gn is used to control on-off of the second switch transistor T2. When the second switch transistor T2 is turned on, the second scan signal Gn is transmitted to the pull-down point PD through the second switch transistor T2. When the pull-up point PU maintains a high potential, the third switch transistor is turned on, so that the first voltage signal VGL is input to the pull-down point PD through the third switch transistor T3. The first clock signal Eclkn controls on-off of the fourth switch transistor T4. When the fourth switch transistor T4 is turned on, the first voltage signal VGL is transmitted to the pull-down point PD through the fourth switch transistor T4. When the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, the second clock signal Eclkbn is transmitted to the output terminal Eout through the fifth transistor M5.

The first voltage signal line A generates a first voltage signal VGL, and a voltage value of the second voltage signal VGH is greater than that of the first voltage signal VGL. The regulation circuit 13 regulates a leakage current of the enable signal generation circuit 12 based on the second voltage signal VGH, so that the leakage current of the enable signal generation circuit 12 is reduced, thereby keeping the enable signal generated by the enable signal generation circuit 12 stable.
In a possible embodiment, the first voltage signal line A and the second voltage signal line B are both included in the inside of the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit 1.
Specifically, because multiple nodes in the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit 1 need to be simultaneously electrically connected to the first voltage signal line A and the second voltage signal line B, the first voltage signal line A and the second voltage signal line B save a design space and reduce a hardware cost of the light-emitting scanning signal drive circuit 1.
