In the embodiment, two sets of pull-down maintaining modules are configured, such as the first pull-down maintaining unit 610 and the first pull-down maintaining controlling unit 620, and the second pull-down maintaining unit 710 and the second pull-down maintaining controlling unit 720. The two sets of pull-down maintaining modules may be switched alternately such that one set may be in a negative voltage recovery state for half time period, wherein the level of the transistor, regardless of the turn-on state or turn-off state, may change. This may result in that the pull-down maintaining module cannot be turned on smoothly, and may not be turned off smoothly.
Each of the first driving circuit 10 and the second diving circuit 20 includes a balance bridge unit 800 having an eleventh controllable transistor (T55). The control end of the eleventh controllable transistor (T55) connects with the output end of the pull-up controlling module 100, the input end and the output end of the eleventh controllable transistor (T55) respectively connects to the control end of the sixth controllable transistor (T33) and the first controllable transistor (T32), the input end of the eleventh controllable transistor (T55) of the second diving circuit 20 connects with the input end of the eleventh controllable transistor (T55) of the first driving circuit 10, the output end of the eleventh controllable transistor (T55) of the second diving circuit 20 connects with the output end of the eleventh controllable transistor (T55) of the first driving circuit 10.
When the scanning line G(N) and G(N+1) are within the operating period, the eleventh controllable transistor (T55) is turned on so as to connect the control ends of the first pull-down maintaining unit 610 and the second pull-down maintaining unit 710, the control ends of the first pull-down maintaining unit 610 and the second pull-down maintaining unit 710 are at one end at the low level for pulling down the other end at the high level. As such, the first pull-down maintaining unit 610 and the second pull-down maintaining unit 710 are disconnected. The configured eleventh controllable transistor (T55) balances the level at two ends. Within the operating period, particularly when the twelveth controllable transistor (T52) is invalid. The level of the P(N) and P(N+1) may be pulled down to the level of K(N) and K(N+1) via the eleventh controllable transistor (T55) to turn off the first controllable transistor (T32), the second controllable transistor (T42), the sixth controllable transistor (T33) and the seventh controllable transistor (T43). This prevents the TFTs from not being disconnected completely such that the signals of the output end of the pull-up controlling module 100 and the scanning line G(N) and G(N+1) are not affected, that is, the output of the scanning driving circuit 1 is prevented from being affected.
Each of the first driving circuit 10 and the second diving circuit 20 includes a turn-off unit 900. The turn-off unit 900 includes the twelveth controllable transistor (T52) and a thirteenth controllable transistor (T62). The control ends of the twelveth controllable transistor (T52) and the thirteenth controllable transistor (T62) are connected and connect to the output of the pull-up controlling module 100. The input end of the twelveth controllable transistor (T52) connects with the control end of the fourth controllable transistor (T53), the output end of the twelveth controllable transistor (T52) connects with the reference voltage end (VSS), the input end of the thirteenth controllable transistor (T62) connects with the control end of the ninth controllable transistor (T63), and the output end of the thirteenth controllable transistor (T62) connects with the reference voltage end (VSS).
Within the operating period, the twelveth controllable transistor (T52) and the thirteenth controllable transistor (T62) pull down the level of the control end S(N) and S(N+1) of the fourth controllable transistor (T53) and the level of the control end T(N) and T(N+1) of the ninth controllable transistor (T63). This may contributes to pulling down the level at the control end P(N) and P(N+1) of the first controllable transistor (T32) and the second controllable transistor (T42) and the control end K(N) and K(N+1) of the sixth controllable transistor (T33) and the seventh controllable transistor (T43) so as to disconnect the pull-down maintaining module. As such, the scanning driving circuit 1 is prevented from being affected by the pull-down effects of the pull-down maintaining module. As the low level of the first pull-down maintaining signals (LC1) is lower than the signals of the reference voltage end (VSS), the level difference (Vgs) between the control end and the output end of the first controllable transistor (T32), the second controllable transistor (T42), the sixth controllable transistor (T33), and the seventh controllable transistor (T43) is smaller than zero i.e., Vgs<0. That is, the TFTs are in the negative state so as to ensure the stability of the circuit.
The first pull-down maintaining signals (LC1) and the shorting bar (L2) are not only the low level smaller than the reference voltage end (VSS), and are also the low frequency signals. The first pull-down maintaining signals (LC1) and the second pull-down maintaining signals (LC2) are switched between a blank time period between the frames.
The pull-up controlling module 100 of the first driving circuit 10 and the second diving circuit 20 include a fourteenth controllable transistor (T11). The control end of the fourteenth controllable transistor (T11) connects with the downstream signals at upper level ST(N−2) and ST(N−1). The input end of the fourteenth controllable transistor (T11) connects the scanning signals at upper level G(N−2) and G(N−1). The output end of the fourteenth controllable transistor (T11) may be the output end of the pull-up controlling module 100.
The pull-up module 200 of each of the first driving circuit 10 and the second diving circuit 20 include a fifteenth controllable transistor (T21). The control end of the fifteenth controllable transistor (T21) connects with the output end of the fourteenth controllable transistor (T11). The input end of the fifteenth controllable transistor (T21) connects with the clock scanning signals (CK1, CK2). The output end of the fifteenth controllable transistor (T21) connects with the scanning line G(N) and G(N+1).
Each of the first driving circuit 10 and the second diving circuit 20 further includes a downstream module 300 having a sixteenth controllable transistor (T22). The control end of the sixteenth controllable transistor (T22) connects with the output end of the pull-up controlling module 100, the input end of the sixteenth controllable transistor (T22) connects with the clock scanning signals (CK1, CK2), the output end of the sixteenth controllable transistor (T22) connects with the downstream signals ST(N) and SN (N+1) at upper level. The sixteenth controllable transistor (T22) transmits signals to the control end of the fifteenth controllable transistor (T21) so as to provide a buffering function to reduce the effect toward the signals delay.
Each of the first driving circuit 10 and the second diving circuit 20 includes a pull-down module 400 having a seventeenth controllable transistor (T31) and an eighteenth controllable transistor (T41). The control ends of the seventeenth controllable transistor (T31) and the eighteenth controllable transistor (T41) are connected and connect to the scanning line G(N+2) and G(N+3) at upper level. The input end of the eighteenth controllable transistor (T41) connects with the output end of the pull-up controlling module 100, the output end of the seventeenth controllable transistor (T31) and the eighteenth controllable transistor (T41) connects with the reference voltage end (VSS), the input end of the seventeenth controllable transistor (T31) connects with the scanning line G(N) and G(N+1). The seventeenth controllable transistor (T31) is configured for pulling down the level of the scanning line G(N) and G(N+1) to the reference voltage end (VSS) to ensure the level of the scanning line G(N) and G(N+1) is maintained at low level. The eighteenth controllable transistor (T41) is configured for pulling down the level of the pull-down nodes Q(N) and Q(N+1) to the reference voltage end (VSS) to ensure the fifteenth controllable transistor (T21) and the sixteenth controllable transistor (T22) may be normally turned off.
Each of the first driving circuit 10 and the second diving circuit 20 includes a storage capacitor (Cb). One end of the storage capacitor (Cb) connects with the output end of the pull-up controlling module 100, and the other end of the storage capacitor (Cb) connects to the scanning line G(N) and G(N+1). The storage capacitor (Cb) is configured for pulling up the level of the pull-down nodes Q(N) and Q(N+1) basing on the conservation of charge principle so as to ensure the fifteenth controllable transistor (T21) owns enough driving capability.
As shown in
The STV may be turn-on signals of the scanning driving circuit. The STV is configured for turning on the first or the second driving circuit, and is configured for pulling down Q nodes at the last node or at the last two nodes. The output, input, upstream and downstream signals are controlled by the operations of the scanning driving circuit.
In the embodiment, the pull-down maintaining module may be only arranged at one side. For instance, only the first pull-down maintaining unit 610 and the first pull-down maintaining controlling unit 620 is configured, or only the second pull-down maintaining unit 710 and the second pull-down maintaining controlling unit 720 is configured. This also can achieves the same effects as discussed above.
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being preferred or exemplary embodiments of the invention.
