DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The invention will be described below in further details and more fully with reference to the drawings and particular embodiments. As can be appreciated, the particular embodiments described here are merely intended to explain but not to limit the invention. Moreover it shall be further noted that only those parts relevant to the invention but not all the parts of the invention will be illustrated in the drawings for the sake of the convenient description.


Researchers have identified from their researches that an existing 3D display device includes a 3D display panel, on the surface of which a lens film is adhered, where each pixel is divided into two sub-pixels configured to transmit image data signals of left and right eyes respectively. When the 3D effect need be displayed, an image processing system processes the image data signals so that the image data signals transmitted by the two sub-pixels are different; when the 2D effect need be displayed, the image processing system processes the image data signals so that the image data signals transmitted by the two sub-pixels are the same. Thus it is necessary for the specialized image processing system to process the image data signals so that it may be inconvenient to convert between the 3D display effect and the 2D display effect.


Technical solutions of the invention will be described below by way of particular embodiments, and it shall be noted that:


1. In the course of scanning each frame in a gate drive circuit, it is typically necessary to perform pre-scan resetting and post-scan zeroing on each level of shift register (all the levels of shift registers include all the first to eighth shift registers). The pre-scan resetting refers to pulling the potential at the output terminal of the shift register down to a low potential to thereby zero out the shift register, that is, the pre-scan resetting ensures that the potential at the output terminal of the shift register is the low potential until the level of shift register is scanned, so that the quality of the display image can be ensured. The zeroing refers to pulling the potential at the output terminal of the shift register down to the low potential after the shift register is scanned, that is, after the shift register outputs a gate drive signal, to thereby ensure the shift register to be maintained at the low potential after being scanned so as to avoid interference to the image display and prepare for next scanning


2. Both a first gate drive circuit and a second gate drive circuit are applicable to forward scanning and backward scanning, and for the sake of the convenient description, both the first gate drive circuit and the second gate drive circuit adopt the forward scanning by way of an example in an embodiment, but the embodiment of the invention will not be limited thereto. In this embodiment, a first transistor T1 to a ninth transistor T9 are NMOS transistors, but the first transistor T1 to the ninth transistor T9 can alternatively be PMOS transistors in another embodiment, and the embodiment of the invention will not be limited thereto.


3. In an embodiment of the invention, a TFT array substrate will not be limited to a TFT array substrate for a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a TFT array substrate for an Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED), or a TFT array substrate for an electronic paper or the like. Additionally in the embodiment of the invention, the TFT array substrate will not be limited to an amorphous silicon TFT array substrate, an LTPS TFT array substrate or an oxide TFT array substrate.


4. In an embodiment of the invention, first to eighth start transistors, first to sixteenth clock transistors and first to second pre-scan reset transistors will not be limited to N-type transistors or P-type transistors. In the following respective embodiments and respective drawings, the first to eighth start transistors, the first to sixteenth clock transistors and the first to second pre-scan reset transistors will be described as N-type transistors only by way of an example for the sake of the convenient description.


5. In an embodiment of the invention, the internal circuit structures and drive operating processes of first to eighth shift registers, voltage ranges of first to sixteenth clock signals, voltage ranges of first to eighth start signals, waveforms of the first to sixteenth clock signals, and voltage ranges and waveforms of first to second pre-scan reset signals are all well known in the art, so the repeated description thereof will be omitted in the embodiment.


6. An embodiment of the invention will not limit voltage ranges of a first control line and a second control line as long as such a condition is satisfied that in 2D display, the first control line controls the first start transistor, the third start transistor, the fifth start transistor, the seventh start transistor, the first clock transistor, the third clock transistor, the fifth clock transistor, the seventh clock transistor, the ninth clock transistor, the eleventh clock transistor, the thirteenth clock transistor, the fifteenth clock transistor and the first transistor to be turned off, and the second control line controls the second start transistor, the fourth start transistor, the sixth start transistor, the eighth start transistor, the second clock transistor, the fourth clock transistor, the sixth clock transistor, the eighth clock transistor, the tenth clock transistor, the twelfth clock transistor, the fourteenth clock transistor, the sixteenth clock transistor and the second transistor to be turned on; and in 3D display, the first control line controls the first start transistor, the third start transistor, the fifth start transistor, the seventh start transistor, the first clock transistor, the third clock transistor, the fifth clock transistor, the seventh clock transistor, the ninth clock transistor, the eleventh clock transistor, the thirteenth clock transistor, the fifteenth clock transistor and the first transistor to be turned on, and the second control line controls the second start transistor, the fourth start transistor, the sixth start transistor, the eighth start transistor, the second clock transistor, the fourth clock transistor, the sixth clock transistor, the eighth clock transistor, the tenth clock transistor, the twelfth clock transistor, the fourteenth clock transistor, the sixteenth clock transistor and the second transistor to be turned off


7. In the following embodiments, the first to eighth start switches, the first to second signal switches, and the first to sixteenth clock switches are typically transistors, where respective gates are connected correspondingly with the first switch line W1 and the second switch line W2, and turned on and off according to the timings of W1 and W2 in FIG. 1c to thereby achieve the conversion between 3D and 2D, and this is merely exemplary but not limiting. In practical applications, the first to eighth start switches, the first to second signal switches, and the first to sixteenth clock switches can alternatively be electronic devices with the switch function or the like, and the repeated description thereof will be omitted in the following embodiments.
