CROSS REFERENCE

The present application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application No. 201610248041.1 filed on Apr. 20, 2016. Herein, the content disclosed by the Chinese patent application is incorporated in full by reference as a part of the present disclosure.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a shift register unit, a driving method, a gate driving circuit and a display device.

BACKGROUND

When a display device displays an image, it needs to utilize a shift register (a gate driving circuit) to scan a pixel unit. The shift register comprises a plurality of shift register units, each of which is corresponding to pixel units of one row. The shift register units realize progressive scanning drive of the pixel units of the display device to display images.

However, with the increasing of the number of pixels, the number of rows to be scanned by the shift register within one frame time increases, which thus requires a smaller layout area of the shift register unit and simpler circuit structure. For example, there exists a known shift register unit, which mainly comprises a buffer module, a pull-up module, a pull-down module, a maintenance module, a charging module and a discharging module. In the known shift register unit, the buffer module is as an input module of the shift register unit, and is configured to input a voltage of an output terminal of a previous row to the shift register unit, the pull-up module is configured to pull up a level of the output terminal to a high level, the pull-down module is configured to pull down the level of the output terminal to a low level, the maintenance module is configured to maintain the level of the output terminal, the charging module is configured to ensure that transistors comprised in the pull-up module are capable of being turned on normally within operation time, and the discharging module is configured to discharge the charging module to turn off the pull-up module.

When the above shift register unit is in a discharging maintenance phase, due to existence of parasitic capacitance of transistors comprised in the pull-up module, a voltage of a pull-up node (i.e., a node connected to gates of the transistors comprised in the pull-up module) is pulled up, such that the transistors comprised in the pull-up module are turned on. In this way, a first clock signal terminal of the shift register unit would re-charge the output terminal. Therefore, in this shift register unit, noise exists in both the pull-up node and the output terminal.

As shown in FIG. 5, in a charging phase T1, the input signal input by the input signal terminal Input is an output signal Output(N−1) of a previous stage of shift register unit. Referring to FIG. 5, it can be known that in the charging phase T1, the output signal Output(N−1) of the previous stage of shift register unit is the first potential. Therefore, at this time, the first transistor M1 is turned on, the first power supply signal terminal VDD provides the first power supply signal to the pull-up node PU, the first power supply signal is the first potential, and the first potential is the high potential, so that charging of the pull-up node PU can be realized.

Since the pull-up node PU is the first potential, the seventh transistor M7 is turned on, and the third power supply signal terminal provides the third power supply signal to the pull-down node PD through the seventh transistor M7.

At the same time, since the switch power supply signal input by the switch power supply terminal SW is the second potential in this phase, and the tenth transistor M10 is turned off, and would not charge the pull-up node, thereby guaranteeing the stability of signal output.

The principle of the backward scanning is the same as that of the forward scanning. Its specific implementation process can refer to the implementation process of the forward scanning.

It should be noted that in FIG. 5, Output(N) is the signal output by the output terminal of the shift register unit in the respective embodiments, Output(N−1) is the signal output by the output terminal of the previous stage of shift register nit of the shift register unit, and Output(N+1) is the signal output by the output terminal of the next stage of shift register unit of the shift register unit.

Optionally, returning to FIG. 2, the first pull-down module 40 can comprise: the fourth transistor M4, the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the vertical blanking phase refers to an interval between the end of scanning of the previous frame of the shift register and the start of scanning of the next frame of the shift register. For an in cell display device, a touch control signal can be inserted into the vertical blanking phase. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the vertical blanking phase, the switch power supply signal input by the switch power supply terminal SW is the first potential. At this time, the fourth transistor M4 in the first pull-down module 40 is turned on, the third power supply signal terminal VGL provides the third power supply signal to the output terminal Output, and the third power supply signal is the second potential, so that denoising of the output terminal Output is realized. Therefore, denoising of the output terminal Output is performed between two frames, so that the driving signal is prevented from interfering with the touch control signal, and the display effect and the touch control effect of the display device are guaranteed. The vertical blanking phase can be compatible with a conventional gate driving mode and a vertical blanking gate driving mode of the in cell display device.

Optionally, returning to FIG. 2, the first pull-down module 40 can comprise: the fourth transistor M4, the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6; the compensation module 60 can comprise: the eighth transistor M8, the ninth transistor M9 and the tenth transistor M10.

FIG. 6 is a timing diagram of a driving process of the other shift register unit provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 6, in the horizontal blanking phase, the switch power supply signal input by the switch power supply terminal SW is the first potential. The pull-up node PU maintains the first potential, and the first potential is the high potential. At this time, the fourth transistor M4, the ninth transistor M9 and the tenth transistor M10 are turned on. The third power supply signal terminal VGL provides the third power supply signal to the output terminal Output, and the third power supply signal is the second potential. The second potential is a low potential relative to the first potential, and the switch power supply terminal SW provides the switch power supply signal to the pull-up node PU.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the horizontal blanking phase refers to an interval between the end of scanning of the previous row of the shift register and the start of scanning of the next row of the shift register. For an in cell display device, a touch control signal can be inserted into the horizontal blanking phase. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the horizontal blanking phase, the switch power supply signal input by the switch power supply terminal SW is the first potential. At this time, the fourth transistor M4 in the first pull-down module 40 is turned on, and the third power supply signal terminal VGL provides the third power supply signal to the output terminal Output. The third power supply signal is the second potential, so as to realize denoising of the output terminal Output, such that no driving signal is output by the output terminal Output, which prevents the driving signal of the shift register unit from interfering with the touch control signal, thereby raising the touch control effect of the display effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, at this time, the pull-up node PU maintains the first potential, the ninth transistor M9 and the tenth transistor M10 are turned on, while the pull-down node PD is the second potential, and the eighth transistor M8 is turned off. At this time, the switch power supply terminal SW can charge the first capacitor C1 through the tenth transistor M10, such that the pull-up node PU maintains the first potential, which avoids from pulling down the potential of the pull-up node PU when leakage phenomenon occurs in the second transistor M2 or the sixth transistor M6 in the output phase T2. If the voltage of the pull-up node PU is too low, after the touch control phase ends up, it is possible to cause the problem of no output in the shift register unit or the output voltage being too low. Therefore, compensation for the potential of the pull-up node PU can be realized by charging the first capacitor C1 through the tenth transistor M10 (i.e., pulling up the potential of the pull-up node PU), which ensures that after the touch content phase ends up, the shift register can execute the output phase T2 continuously and normally. At the same time, in the output phase T2, since the pull-up node PU in the shift register units of other rows is at the second potential, no influence would be made on the subsequent driving process of the shift register unit of other rows.

After the touch control phase ends up, the switch power supply signal input by the switch power supply terminal SW is the second potential, and the shift register unit continuously executes the output phase T2. In the output phase T2, since the pull-down node PD in the shift register unit of other rows is the clock signal terminal CLK to carry out denoising process on the pull-up node PU and the output terminal Output, at this time, the eighth transistor M8 in the shift register unit of other rows is always in an alternate state of turn-on and turn-off, while the ninth transistor M9 and the tenth transistor M10 are always in the turn-off state. Therefore, the coupling effect of the switch power supply terminal SW on the pull-up node PU in the shift register unit of other rows can be reduced effectively, the problem of influencing the display of other rows because the switch power supply terminal SW pulls up the potential of the pull-up node PU is avoided, and the display effect of the display device is raised. The horizontal blanking phase can be compatible with the horizontal blanking gate driving mode of the in cell display device.

It should be noted that the first to tenth transistors in respective embodiments of the present disclosure can be N type transistors. The first potential is the high potential relative to the second potential.

To sum up, there is provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure a driving method of a shift register unit. The driving method mainly comprises the charging phase, the output phase, the reset phase and the denoising phase. In the denoising phase, the first pull-down module is capable of denoising the pull-up node and the output terminal respectively under the control of the pull-down node, the third power supply signal from the third power supply signal terminal and the switch power supply signal from the switch power supply signal. Therefore, the noises of the pull-up node and the output terminal in the shift register unit are reduced, and the output effect of the shift register unit is improved. Furthermore, the driving method of the shift register unit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be compatible with the conventional gate driving mode, the vertical blanking gate driving mode and horizontal blanking gate driving mode of the in cell display device, and its driving method is highly flexibly.

It should be noted that the above embodiments are described by taking the first to tenth transistors being N type transistors, the first potential being the high potential and the second potential being the low potential as an example. Of course, the first to tenth transistors can also adopt the P type transistors. When the first to tenth transistors adopt the P type transistors, the first potential is the low potential, and the second potential is the high potential. Furthermore, potential variation of the clock signal terminal CLK, the second clock signal terminal CLKB and the switch power supply terminal SW can be reverse to the potential variation as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 (that is, a phase difference of the potentials of the second clock signal terminal CLKB and the switch power supply terminal SW is 180 degrees).

As shown in FIG. 7, the gate driving circuit can comprising at least two shift register units connected in cascades, wherein each shift register unit can be the shift register nit as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 or FIG. 3.
