In order to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the drawings of the embodiments will be briefly described in the following; it is obvious that the described drawings are only related to some embodiments of the present disclosure and thus are not limitative to the present disclosure.
In order to make objects, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the drawings related to the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be within the scope of the present disclosure.

In order to reduce the power consumption of the display panel, a relatively effective method is to reduce the refresh frequency. While reducing the refresh frequency, it is also necessary to ensure the display quality of the display panel. Therefore, the GOA circuit is required to maintain a stable output with low noise at a relatively low refresh frequency. In addition, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device usually includes a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array, and each pixel unit may include, for example, a pixel circuit. In the OLED display device, due to the limitation of the manufacturing process, threshold voltages of driving transistors in respective pixel circuits may be different, and due to, for example, the influence of temperature change, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor may drift. Therefore, the difference in the threshold voltages of respective driving transistors may cause poor display (such as uneven display), and therefore, the threshold voltage needs to be compensated. In addition, when the driving transistor is in an off state (that is, cut-off state), the existence of leakage current may also cause poor display. Therefore, the OLED display device usually adopts a pixel circuit with a compensation function, for example, adding transistors and/or capacitors to the basic pixel circuit (for example, 2T1C, that is, two transistors and one capacitor), so as to provide the compensation function. For example, the compensation function can be achieved by voltage compensation, current compensation, or hybrid compensation. The pixel circuit with the compensation function is, for example, a common 4T1C or 4T2C circuit.
Generally, in an external compensation current detection system, as shown in

The first control circuit is coupled to the first node and a second node, and is configured to control a level of the second node under control of the level of the first node. The second control circuit is coupled to a fourth clock signal terminal, the second node, and an output terminal, and is configured to control the level of the second node under control of a fourth clock signal of the fourth clock signal terminal and an output signal of the output terminal. The output circuit is coupled to the first node, the second node, and the output terminal, and is configured to control a level of the output terminal under control of the level of the first node and the level of the second node.

The shift register unit can not only achieve long-term low-level stable output during the detection phase to meet the requirements of the external compensation detection phase, but also provide driving signals that operate normally during the driving phase to meet the requirements of the display panel in the driving phase.
The embodiments and examples of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same reference numeral in different drawings will be used to refer to the same element that has been described.
It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, in the case where each circuit is implemented as the N-type transistor, the term “pull-up” means charging a node or an electrode of a transistor so as to raise the absolute value of the level of the node or the electrode, thereby implementing an operation (e.g., conduction) of the corresponding transistor; the term “pull-down” means discharging a node or an electrode of a transistor so as to decrease the absolute value of the level of the node or the electrode, thereby implementing an operation (e.g., turn-off) of the corresponding transistor; the term “operating level” means that the node is at a high level, so that when a gate electrode of a transistor is coupled to the node, the transistor is turned on; the term “non-operating level” means that the node is at a low level, so that when a gate electrode of a transistor is coupled to the node, the transistor is turned off. For another example, in the case where each circuit is implemented as the P-type transistor, the term “pull-up” means discharging a node or an electrode of a transistor so as to decrease the absolute value of the level of the node or the electrode, thereby implementing the operation (e.g., conduction) of the corresponding transistor; the term “pull-down” means charging a node or an electrode of a transistor so as to raise the absolute value of the level of the node or the electrode, thereby implementing the operation (e.g., turn-off) of the corresponding transistor; the term “operating level” means that the node is at a low level, so that when a gate electrode of a transistor is coupled to the node, the transistor is turned on; the term “non-operating level” means that the node is at a high level, so that when a gate electrode of a transistor is coupled to the node, the transistor is turned off.
At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shift register unit 10, as shown in
For example, as shown in
For example, the first control circuit 200 is coupled to the first node N1 and a second node N2, and is configured to control a level of the second node N2 under control of the level of the first node N1.
For example, the second control circuit 300 is coupled to a fourth clock signal terminal CLK4, the second node N2, and an output terminal OT, and is configured to control the level of the second node N2 under control of a fourth clock signal of the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 and an output signal of the output terminal OT.

For example, the first reset circuit 400 is coupled to the output terminal OT and a first enable signal terminal EN1, a first enable signal is provided to the first enable signal terminal EN1 by a first enable signal line, and the first reset circuit 400 is configured to control the level of the output terminal OT under control of the first enable signal EN1, so as to allow the output terminal OT to stably output a non-operating level during a detection phase.
For example, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the first reset circuit 400, it can be ensured that the output noise interference is removed in time under low frequency driving, so as to ensure that the shift register unit 10 stably outputs a non-operating level (such as, a low level) during the detection phase. For example, by introducing the first enable signal EN1, when the first enable signal EN1 is at an active level, the output terminal OT of the shift register unit 10 can output the non-operating level stably for a long time during the detection phase to meet the requirements of the external compensation detection phase, when the first enable signal EN1 is at an invalid level, the output terminal OT of the shift register unit 10 can output a driving signal that operates normally in the driving phase, so as to meet the requirements of the display panel in the driving phase.
It should be noted that, for the convenience and conciseness of description, in each embodiment of the present disclosure, CLK1 may represent either the first clock signal terminal or the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal; similarly, CLK2 can represent either the second clock signal terminal or the second clock signal provided by the second clock signal terminal; CLK3 can represent either the third clock signal terminal or the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal terminal; CLK4 can represent either the fourth clock signal terminal or the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal; EN1 can represent either the first enable signal terminal or the first enable signal provided by the first enable signal terminal; INN can represent either the input terminal or the input signal provided by the input terminal, and OT can represent either the output terminal or the output signal provided by the output terminal.

As shown in
For example, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the shift register unit 11 is provided with a first reset circuit 400 and a second reset circuit 600, and under the control of the first enable signal EN1 and the second enable signal EN2, the level of the output terminal OT and the level of the second node N2 can be controlled at the same time, so as to better ensure that the output noise interference is removed in time under low frequency driving, so as to ensure that the shift register unit 11 stably outputs a non-operating level (such as, a low level) during the detection phase.
For example, in an example, the first enable signal of the first enable signal terminal EN1 and the second enable signal of the second enable signal terminal EN2 may be the same enable signal EN, and correspondingly, the first enable signal terminal EN1 and the second enable signal terminal EN2 may be the same signal terminal. Of course, the first enable signal of the first enable signal terminal EN1 and the second enable signal of the second enable signal terminal EN2 can also be different enable signals independent of each other. Accordingly, the first enable signal terminal EN1 and the second enable signal terminal EN2 may be different signal terminals, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited in this aspect.

It is to be noted that, transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may all be thin film transistors, field effect transistors, or other switching elements with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the thin film transistor is taken as an example for description. A source electrode and a drain electrode of the transistor used herein may be symmetrical in structure, so the source electrode and the drain electrode of the transistor may have no difference in structure. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to distinguish two electrodes of the transistor apart from the gate electrode, one of the two electrodes is directly referred to as a first electrode, and the other of the two electrodes is referred to as a second electrode.
In addition, the transistors in the embodiments of the present disclosure are all described by taking N-type transistors as examples, in this case, the first electrode of the transistor is a drain electrode, and the second electrode is a source electrode. It should be noted that the present disclosure includes but is not limited to this. For example, one or more transistors in the shift register unit 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be P-type transistors, in this case, the first electrode of the transistor is a source electrode and the second electrode of the transistor is a drain electrode, so long as the respective electrodes of the selected type transistor are connected correspondingly with reference to the respective electrodes of the corresponding transistor in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the corresponding voltage terminal is provided with a corresponding high voltage or low voltage. In the case where an N-type transistor is used, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) can be adopted as an active layer of a thin film transistor, and compared to adopting low temperature poly silicon (LTPS) or amorphous silicon (for example, hydrogenation amorphous silicon) as an active layer of a thin film transistor, the size of the transistor can be effectively reduced and the leakage current can be prevented.

For example, in an example, when the third node N3 is at an active level (for example, a high level), the fifteenth transistor T15 is turned on, and then, the second clock signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CLK2 can be input to the first node N1 through the fifteenth transistor T15. For example, when the second clock signal is at an active level (for example, a high level), the first node N1 is pulled up to an operating level (for example, a high level). For example, when the second clock signal is at an invalid level (for example, a low level), the first node N1 may be pulled down to a non-operating level (for example, a low level).
For example, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
For example, a gate electrode of the sixteenth transistor T16 is coupled to the third clock signal terminal CLK3 to receive the third clock signal, a first electrode of the sixteenth transistor T16 is coupled to a fourteenth voltage terminal VDD_14 to receive a fourteenth voltage, and a second electrode of the sixteenth transistor T16 is coupled to a gate electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17.
For example, a first electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17 is coupled to a fifteenth voltage terminal VDD_15 to receive a fifteenth voltage, and a second electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17 is coupled to a first electrode of the nineteenth transistor T19.
For example, a gate electrode of the eighteenth transistor T18 is coupled to the fourth node N4, a first electrode of the eighteenth transistor T18 is coupled to a sixteenth voltage terminal VDD_16 to receive a sixteenth voltage, and a second electrode of the eighteenth transistor T18 is coupled to the first node N1.
For example, a gate electrode of the nineteenth transistor T19 is coupled to a seventeenth voltage terminal VDD_17 to receive a seventeenth voltage, and a second electrode of the nineteenth transistor T19 is coupled to the third node N3.
For example, a first electrode of the fourth capacitor C4 is coupled to the gate electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17, and a second electrode of the fourth capacitor C4 is coupled to the first electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17.
For example, in an example, when the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal terminal CLK3 is at an active level (for example, a high level), the sixteenth transistor T16 is turned on, the fourteenth voltage (for example, a high level) provided by the fourteenth voltage terminal VDD_14 can be input to the fourth node N4 through the sixteenth transistor T16, so as to pull up the fourth node N4 to the operating level (for example, a high voltage). In response to the fourth node N4 being at the operating level (for example, a high level), the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighteenth transistor T18 are turned on, and then through the seventeenth transistor T17, the fifteenth voltage (for example, a low level) provided by the fifteenth voltage terminal VDD_15 can be input to the gate electrode of the thirteenth transistor T13, that is, the fifth node N5, so as to pull down the level of the fifth node N5 to a non-operating level (for example, a low level). For example, when the seventeenth voltage provided by the seventeenth voltage terminal VDD_17 is at an active level, the nineteenth transistor T19 is turned on, so that the third node N3 and the fifth node N5 are coupled, and the third node N3 can be pulled down to a non-operating level (for example, a low level). The sixteenth voltage (for example, a low level) provided by the sixteenth voltage terminal VDD_16 is input to the first node N1 through the turned-on eighteenth transistor T18, and the first node N1 is pulled down to an invalid level, that is, a low level.
For example, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the nineteenth transistor T19 and the fourteenth transistor T14 may be the same transistor, and the seventeenth voltage terminal VDD_17 and the twelfth voltage terminal VDD_12 are the same voltage terminal, for example, to provide an active level, that is, a high level.

For example, in an example, when the second enable signal EN2 is at an active level, the second transistor T2 is turned on, and the second voltage terminal VDD_2 is coupled to the second node N2. For example, when the second voltage provided by the second voltage terminal VDD_2 is at a non-operating level, that is, a low level, the second node N2 can be noise-reduced.
For example, in an example, the first enable signal EN1 and the second enable signal EN2 may be the same enable signal EN. For example, when the first enable signal EN1 and the second enable signal EN2 are active signals at the same time, the levels of the output terminal OT and the second node N2 can be controlled at the same time, so as to remove the output noise interference in time and ensure that the shift register unit 10 stably outputs a non-operating level (for example, a low level) during the detection phase.
At least one embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a shift register unit 12.
It should be noted that in the example shown in
For example, in an example, as shown in
As shown in
For example, in the first phase P1, the input signal provided by the input terminal INN and the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 are at an active level (for example, a high level) at the same time, the second clock signal CLK2, the third clock signal CLK3, and the fourth clock signal CLK4 are at an invalid level (for example, a low level), the tenth transistor T10 and the eleventh transistor T11 are turned on, and the ninth voltage (for example, a high level) provided by the ninth voltage terminal VDD_9 is input to the third node N3 to pull up the level of the third node N3 to an operating level (for example, a high level). At this time, the fifteenth transistor T15 is turned on, and the second clock signal (in the first phase P1, CLK2 is a low level) provided by the second clock signal terminal CLK2 can be provided to the first node N1, and then the first node N1 is at a non-operating level (i.e., a low level). At this time, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5 are all turned off, and the output terminal OT is at an active level, that is, a high level.
In the second phase P2, the second clock signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CLK2 changes from a low level to a high level, the input signal provided by the input terminal INN and the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 change from a high level to a low level, the third clock signal CLK3 and the fourth clock signal CLK4 are at a low level. At this time, the fifteenth transistor T15 inputs the high level of the second clock signal CLK2 to the first node N1, due to the bootstrap effect of the first capacitor C1, the fifteenth transistor T15 is more fully turned on to input the high level of the second clock signal CLK2 to the first node N1, so as to pull up the level of the first node N1 to the operating level, that is, a high level. At this time, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5 are all turned on, and the output terminal OT is pulled down to a low level.
In the third phase P3, the third clock signal CLK3 changes from a low level to a high level, and the input signal INN, the first clock signal CLK1, the second clock signal CLK2, and the fourth clock signal CLK4 are at a low level. The sixteenth transistor T16 is turned on, the fourteenth voltage (for example, a high level) provided by the fourteenth voltage terminal VDD_14 is input to the fourth node N4, and the fourth node N4 is pulled up to the operating level (for example, a high level). At this time, the eighteenth transistor T18 is turned on, the sixteenth voltage (for example, a low level) provided by the sixteenth voltage terminal VDD_16 is input to the first node N1, and the first node N1 is pulled down to a low level. At this time, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5 are all turned off, and the output terminal OT is maintained at a low level.
In the fourth phase P4, the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 changes from a low level to a high level, and the input signal provided by the input terminal INN, the first clock signal CLK1, the second clock signal CLK2, and the third clock signal CLK3 are all at a low level. At this time, the first node N1 is maintained at a low level, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, the fifth voltage (for example, a high level) provided by the fifth voltage terminal VDD_5 can be input to the second node N2 through the sixth transistor T6, so as to pull up the level of the second node N2 to the operating level (for example, a high level). At this time, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, the seventh voltage (for example, a high level) provided by the seventh voltage terminal VDD_7 is input to the output terminal OT through the eighth transistor T8, so as to pull up the level of the output terminal OT to the operating level (for example, a high level). In addition, due to the bootstrap effect of the first capacitor C1, the level of the output terminal OT can be maintained at the high level VGH.
In the above-mentioned first phase P1 to fourth phase P4, that is, the driving phase, the shift register unit 12 can work normally, achieve a normal driving function, and meet the requirements of the driving phase of the display panel.
In the fifth phase P5, the input signal INN, the first clock signal CLK1, the second clock signal CLK2, the third clock signal CLK3, and the fourth clock signal CLK4 are all at an invalid level, that is, at a low level, and the enable signal EN is at an active level, that is, a high level. At this time, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, the first voltage (for example, a low level) provided by the first voltage terminal VDD_1 can be input to the output terminal OT through the first transistor T1 to perform noise reduction on the output terminal OT, so as to ensure that the output terminal OT outputs a low level stably. The second voltage (for example, a low level) provided by the second voltage terminal VDD_2 can be input to the second node N2 through the second transistor T2 to ensure that the second node N2 is at a non-operating level and the eighth transistor T8 is turned off, thereby preventing leakage of the eighth transistor T8.
For example, if the first transistor T1 is not provided, in the fifth phase P5, the first node N1 is maintained at a low level, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned off, and the output terminal OT is in a floating state and cannot output a low level stably. For example, if the second transistor T2 is not provided, the sixth transistor T6 may leak, so that the potential of the second node N2 gradually rises, which in turn causes the leakage of the eighth transistor T8 to increase, and finally causes the potential of the output terminal OT to gradually rise, and the output terminal OT also cannot output a low level stably.
In the above-mentioned fifth phase P5, that is, the detection phase, the shift register unit 12 can stably output a non-operating level (for example, a low level) for a long time.
Therefore, the shift register unit 10/11/12 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can ensure that the output noise interference is removed in time under low frequency driving, so as to ensure that the GOA stably outputs a non-operating level (for example, a low level) during the detection phase. Therefore, the shift register unit 10/11/12 can not only achieve the normal driving function in the driving phase, but also ensure the stable output of the non-operating level for a long time in the detection phase.
At least one embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a gate driving circuit, and the gate driving circuit includes a plurality of cascaded shift register units provided by any embodiment of the present disclosure. The gate driving circuit can ensure that the output noise interference is removed in time under low frequency driving, so as to ensure to stably output the non-operating level (for example, a low level) during the detection phase. Therefore, the normal driving function can be achieved in the driving phase, and stably outputting the non-operating level for a long time can also be ensured in the detection phase.
For example, in some examples, as shown in
For example, in the gate driving circuit 20 provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the input terminal INN of a shift register unit of an N-th stage is coupled to the first node N1 of a shift register unit of a (N−1)-th stage; the first node N1 of the shift register unit of the N-th stage is coupled to the input terminal INN of a shift register unit of a (N+1)-th stage; N is an integer greater than 2.
For example, in some examples, as shown in

For example, the timing of the clock signals respectively provided on the first clock signal line CLK1_L, the second clock signal line CLK2_L, the third clock signal line CLK3_L, and the fourth clock signal line CLK4_L can adopt the signal timing shown in
For example, the display device to which the gate driving circuit 20 is applied may further include a timing controller T-CON. For example, the timing controller T-CON is configured to be coupled to the first clock signal line CLK1_L, the second clock signal line CLK2_L, the third clock signal line CLK3_L, and the fourth clock signal line CLK4_L, so as to provide various clock signals to the shift register units of respective stages. The timing controller T-CON can also be configured to provide the trigger signal STY. It should be noted that the phase relationship between the plurality of clock signals provided by the timing controller T-CON may be determined according to actual requirements. In different examples, more clock signals can be provided according to different configurations.
For example, in some examples, when the gate driving circuit 20 is used to drive the display panel, the gate driving circuit 20 may be disposed on one side of the display panel. For example, the gate driving circuit 20 can be directly integrated on the array substrate of the display panel using the same manufacturing process as the thin film transistor to form a GOA, thereby achieving the driving function. Of course, the gate driving circuits 20 can also be arranged on both sides of the display panel to achieve bilateral driving. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the arrangement mode of the gate driving circuit 20. For the working principle of the gate driving circuit 20, reference may be made to the corresponding description of the working principle of the shift register unit 10/11/12 in the embodiments of the present disclosure, which will not be repeated here.
At least one embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a display device. The display device includes the shift register unit according to any embodiment of the present disclosure or the gate driving circuit according to any embodiment of the present disclosure.
For example, in some examples, the display device 30 includes a display panel 3000, a gate driver 3010, and a data driver 3030.

The data driver 3030 is electrically coupled to the pixel unit P through the data line DL, and the gate driver 3010 is electrically coupled to the pixel unit P through the scan line GL.
For example, the gate driver 3010 and the data driver 3030 may be implemented as semiconductor chips. For example, the gate driver 3010 (the gate driving circuit 20) may also be implemented as a GOA circuit. The display device 30 may also include other components, such as a timing controller, a signal decoding circuit, a voltage conversion circuit, etc. These components may, for example, adopt existing conventional components, which will not be described in detail here.
