DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiments described in detail constitute only some of the embodiments contemplated in view of the present disclosure, but not all of them. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present disclosure. It should be noted that throughout the accompanying drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same or similar reference signs. In the following description, some specific embodiments are only used for descriptive purposes, and should not be construed as having any limitation on the present disclosure, but are merely examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure. When it may cause confusion in the understanding of the present disclosure, conventional structures or configurations may be omitted. It should be noted that the shape and dimension of each component in the figure do not reflect the actual size and ratio, but merely illustrate the content of the embodiments of the present disclosure.


Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should have the usual meanings understood by those skilled in the art. The “first”, “second” and similar words used in the embodiments of the present disclosure do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components.


In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term “connected” or “connected to” may mean that two components are directly connected, or that two components are connected via one or more other components. In addition, these two components may be connected or coupled by wired or wireless means.


The transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may all be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other devices with same characteristics. For example, a thin film transistor used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be an oxide semiconductor transistor. Since a source and a drain of a switching thin film transistor used here are symmetrical, the source and the drain may be interchanged. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, one of the source and the drain is referred to as a first electrode, and another of the source and the drain is referred to as a second electrode. In the following example, an N-type thin film transistor is taken as an example for description. The embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to a case of a P-type thin film transistor.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the so-called booster circuit increasing a potential at a control terminal refers to increasing an amplitude of an effective level at the control terminal. For example, for an N-type transistor with a high level as the effective level, the so-called booster circuit increasing the potential at the control terminal of the transistor refers to increasing an amplitude of a high level at the control terminal, for example, changing a potential of +20V to +40V. For a P-type transistor with a low level as the effective level, the so-called booster circuit increasing the potential at the control terminal of the transistor refers to increasing an amplitude of a low level at the control terminal, for example, changing a potential of −20V to −40V.



FIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram of a multiplexing circuit. As shown in FIG. 1, in a multiplexing circuit 100, each of a multiplexing unit MUX1 and a multiplexing unit MUX2 includes a transistor MO and a transistor ME, and a gate of the transistor MO is coupled to receive a control signal SO, and a gate of the transistor ME is coupled to receive a control signal SE. In a case that the control signal SO is at a high level, the two transistors MO are turned on, thereby providing an input signal F1 to a data line D1 and an input signal F2 to a data line D3. In a case that the control signal SE is at a high level, the two transistors ME are turned on, thereby providing the input signal F1 to a data line D2 and the input signal F2 to a data line D4.


In the example of FIG. 1, since a gate voltage of the transistor MO is always equal to a level of the control signal SO, and a gate voltage of the transistor ME is always equal to a level of the control signal SE, a following case may exist: each of the level of the control signal SO and the level of the control signal SE is not high enough to fully turn on the transistor MO and the transistor ME. In this case, a current passing through the transistor MO and the transistor ME is small, such that an output terminal of the transistor MO has a significant signal attenuation relative to an input terminal of the transistor MO, and an output terminal of the transistor ME has a significant signal attenuation relative to an input terminal of the transistor ME. Therefore, signals on the data lines D1 to D4 have a significant attenuation relative to the input signals F1 and F2, thereby affecting the display.



FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a selection circuit according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.


As shown in FIG. 2, the selection circuit 200 includes N control circuits 210_1, 210_2, . . . , 210_N and M booster circuits 220_1, 220_2, . . . , 220_M, where N is an integer greater than 1, and M is an integer and 1≤M≤N.


Each of the control circuits 210_1, 210_2, . . . , 210_N has a control terminal, an input terminal, and an output terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, the input terminal of each of the control circuits 210_1, 210_2, . . . , 210_N is coupled to receive an input signal IN. Control terminals of the N control circuits are coupled to receive N control signals, respectively. For example, a control terminal G1 of the control circuit 210_1 is coupled to receive a control signal Ctr1 (via a booster circuit 220_1 in FIG. 2), and a control terminal G2 of the control circuit 210_2 is coupled to receive a control signal Ctr2 (via a booster circuit 220_2 in FIG. 2), and so on, a control terminal GN of the control circuit 210_N is coupled to receive a control signal CtrN. Output terminals of the N control circuits are coupled to output N output signals, respectively. For example, an output terminal of the control circuit 210_1 is coupled to output an output signal OUT1, an output terminal of the control circuit 210_2 is coupled to output an output signal OUT2, and so on.


Each control circuit may provide a signal at its input terminal to its output terminal under a control of a signal at its control terminal. For example, the control circuit 210_1 may provide a signal at its input terminal (i.e., the input signal IN) to its output terminal under a control of a signal at the control terminal G1, so as to generate the output signal OUT1, and the control circuit 210_2 may provide a signal at its input terminal (i.e., the input signal IN) to its output terminal under a control of a signal at the control terminal G2, so as to generate the output signal OUT2, and so on.


Control terminals of M control circuits among the N control circuits 210_1, 210_2, . . . , 210_N are coupled to output terminals of the M booster circuits 220_1, 220_2, . . . , 220_M, respectively. First input terminals of the M booster circuits 220_1, 220_2, . . . , 220_M are coupled to receive M control signals among the N control signals, respectively, and second input terminals of the M booster circuits 220_1, 220_2, . . . , 220_M are coupled to receive M boost signals, respectively. For example, the control terminal G1 of the control circuit 210_1 is coupled to an output terminal of the booster circuit 220_1, a first input terminal of the booster circuit 220_1 is coupled to receive the control signal Ctr1, and a second input terminal of the booster circuit 220_1 is coupled to receive a boost signal Bst1. The control terminal G2 of the control circuit 210_2 is coupled to an output terminal of the booster circuit 220_2, a first input terminal of the booster circuit 220_2 is coupled to receive the control signal Ctr2, and a second input terminal of the booster circuit 220_2 is coupled to receive a boost signal Bst2, and so on. Although in the example of FIG. 2, the first M control circuits among the N control circuits 210_1, 210_2, . . . , 210_N are set to be coupled to the booster circuits, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this, the last M control circuits among the N control circuits may be selected to be coupled to the booster circuits, and M control circuits that are arbitrarily selected may also be coupled to the booster circuits as desired.


Each booster circuit may provide a received control signal to a control terminal of a control circuit coupled to the booster circuit, and increase a potential at the control terminal of the control circuit coupled to the booster circuit by using a received boost signal. For example, the booster circuit 220_1 may provide the control signal Ctr1 to the control terminal G1 of the control circuit 210_1, and increase a potential at the control terminal G1 by using the boost signal Bst1. The booster circuit 220_2 may provide the control signal Ctr2 to the control terminal G2 of the control circuit 210_2, and increase a potential at the G2 control terminal by using the boost signal Rst2, and so on.


The embodiments of the present disclosure provide the booster circuit for the control circuit in the selection circuit, which may provide a potential of the control signal to the control terminal of the control circuit, and on this basis, further increase a potential at the control terminal of the control circuit, thereby increasing a current passing through the control circuit and reducing the signal attenuation of the output terminal of the control circuit relative to the input terminal of the control circuit.

FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of a method for driving a selection circuit according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. The method is applicable to the selection circuit of any of the above-mentioned embodiments.


In step S910, N control signals and M boost signals are provided to the selection circuit, and each booster circuit receives one of the control signals and one of the boost signals, and provides the received control signal to the control terminal of the control circuit coupled to the booster circuit, and increases a potential at the control terminal of the control circuit coupled to the booster circuit by using the received boost signal during a period when the received control signal is at an effective level.


In step S920, an input signal is provided to the selection circuit, and each control circuit provides a signal at the input terminal of the control circuit to the output terminal of the control circuit under a control of a signal at the control terminal of the control circuit.



FIG. 10 shows a signal timing diagram of a selection circuit according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. The method is applicable to the selection circuit of any of the above-mentioned embodiments. The signal timing of FIG. 10 will be described below in conjunction with the selection circuit 300 of FIG. 3.


In a period P1, the first control signal Ctr1 is at a high level, and the second control signal Ctr2 is at a low level.


In a first sub-period P11 of the period P1, the first boost signal Bst1 is at a low level, the first transistor M1 and the fourth transistor M4 are turned on, and the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 are turned off, so that the first control signal Ctr1 being at a high level (for example, a level V1) is provided to the gate G1 of the fifth transistor M5, and the second control signal Ctr2 being at a low level is provided to the gate G2 of the sixth transistor M6. The high level of the gate G1 of the fifth transistor M5 turns on the fifth transistor M5, thereby providing the input signal IN to the second electrode of the fifth transistor M5 to be output as the first output signal OUT1. The low level of the gate G2 of the sixth transistor M6 turns off the sixth transistor M6.


In a second sub-period P12 of the period P1, the first boost signal Bst1 changes from being at a low level to be at a high level (for example, a level V2). Due to a bootstrap effect of the first capacitor C1, a potential at the gate G1 of the fifth transistor M5 is further increased (for example, to V1+V2). It can be seen that, compared to the high level value V1 of the first control signal, the potential at the gate G1 of the fifth transistor M5 is increased, so that the current passing through the fifth transistor M5 increases, thereby reducing an attenuation of the output signal OUT1 relative to the input signal IN. The increased value of the potential at the gate G1 of the fifth transistor M5 may be adjusted by adjusting the first capacitor C1. In some embodiments, the increased value of the potential at the gate G1 of the fifth transistor M5 may also be adjusted by adjusting the high level value (for example, V2) of the first boost signal.


In the period P2, the first control signal Ctr1 is at a low level, and the second control signal Ctr2 is at a high level.


In a first sub-period P21 of the period P2, the second boost signal Bst2 is at a low level, the first transistor M1 and the fourth transistor M4 are turned on, and the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 are turned off, so that the first control signal Ctr1 being at a low level is provided to the gate G1 of the fifth transistor M5, and the second control signal Ctr2 being at a high level (for example, the level V1) is provided to the gate G2 of the sixth transistor M6. The low level of the gate G1 of the fifth transistor M5 turns off the fifth transistor M5. The high level of the gate G2 of the sixth transistor M6 turns on the sixth transistor M6, thereby providing the input signal IN to the second electrode of the sixth transistor M6 to be output as the second output signal OUT2.


In a second sub-period P22 of the period P2, the second boost signal Bst2 changes from being at a low level to be at a high level (for example, the level V2). Due to the bootstrap effect of the second capacitor C2, a potential at the gate G2 of the sixth transistor M6 is further increased (for example, to V1+V2). The increased value of the potential at the gate G2 of the sixth transistor M6 may be adjusted by adjusting the first capacitor C2. In some embodiments, the increased value of the potential at the gate G2 of the sixth transistor M6 may also be adjusted by adjusting the high level value (for example, V2) of the second boost signal. It can be seen that compared to the high level value V1 of the first control signal, the potential at the gate G2 of the sixth transistor M6 is increased, so that the current passing through the sixth transistor M6 is increased, thereby reducing an attenuation of the second output signal OUT2 relative to the input signal IN.


In some embodiments, the first boost signal Bst1 is at a high level during at least a part of the period during which the first control signal Ctr1 is at a high level, and the second boost signal Bst2 is at a high level during at least a part of the period during which the second control signal Ctr2 is at a high level. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a high-level duration of the first boost signal Bst1 may be approximately half of a high-level duration of the first control signal Ctr1, and the first boost signal Bst1 changes to be at a high level after the first control signal Ctr1 changes to at a high level for a period of time, and changes to be at a low level at the same time as the first control signal Ctr1. That is, the first half of the first period P1 may be regarded as the first sub-period P11, and the second half may be regarded as the second sub-period P22. The second boost signal Bst2 is set in a similar manner. In this way, the nodes G1 and G2 may be boosted by the respective boost signals after being charged to a sufficient level by the respective control signals, so as to reach the desired voltage level. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this, and a relationship between the boost signal and the control signal may be set as desired, as long as the high-level duration of the first boost signal Bst1 falls within the high-level duration of the first control signal Ctr1 and is shorter than the high-level duration of the first control signal Ctr1, so that the first booster circuit 320_1 may further increase the potential at the node G while the node G1 is at a high level by using the first boost signal Bst1, and similarly, the high-level duration of the second boost signal Bst2 falls within the high-level duration of the second control signal Ctr2 and is shorter than the high-level duration of the second control signal Ctr2.


Although the selection circuit 300 of FIG. 3 is used as an example to describe the signal timing, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The selection circuit 400 may have similar signal timing. An amplitude, a phase, and a duty cycle of the control signal and the boost signal may also be set as desired. For example, a high level of each control signal and boost signal may be set in the range of 16V to 30V, and a low level of each control signal and boost signal may be set in the range of −15V to −8V. For example, the high level value of each control signal and boost signal may be set to 20V, and the low level value may be set to −8V. Then, the booster circuit may boost the potential at the control terminal to 40V.



FIG. 11 shows a graph of a relationship between a gate-source voltage and a current of the transistor in a control circuit of a selection circuit according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. This graph is applicable to the fifth transistor and the sixth transistor of the control circuit in the selection circuit of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, for example, the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 described above.


It can be seen from FIG. 11 that as a gate-source voltage Vg (a voltage difference between the gate and the source) of the fifth transistor increases, a current Id passing through the fifth transistor increases significantly. As the gate-source voltage increases from 15V to 20V, the current Id increases from 0.84 mA to 2.04 mA, an increase of 140%. It can be seen that the embodiments of the present disclosure can effectively increase the current passing through the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 by increasing the gate voltage of the fifth transistor M5 and the gate voltage of the sixth transistor M6, thereby reducing the signal attenuation at the signal output terminal.


Those skilled in the art may understand that the embodiments described above are all exemplary, and those skilled in the art may improve them, and the structures described in the various embodiments can be freely combined without conflicts in structure or principle.


After describing the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure in detail, those skilled in the art may clearly understand that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the appended claims, and the present disclosure is not limited to the implementations of the exemplary embodiments cited in the specification.
