背景技术Background technique
一般而言,显示面板包含有多个像素、栅极驱动电路以及源极驱动电路。栅极驱动电路包含多级移位暂存器,用来提供多个栅极驱动信号,以控制像素的开启与关闭。源极驱动电路则用以写入资料信号至被开启的像素。此外,目前显示面板常采用栅极驱动电路基板技术(gate driver on array;GOA),以提供像素所需的栅极驱动信号。与传统的栅极驱动器不同的,采用GOA的电路因其制程可合并于显示面板的薄膜晶体管阵列(TFT array)的制程,故可降低面板的生产成本。Generally speaking, a display panel includes a plurality of pixels, a gate driving circuit and a source driving circuit. The gate driving circuit includes a multi-level shift register for providing multiple gate driving signals to control the on and off of the pixels. The source driving circuit is used for writing data signals to the turned-on pixels. In addition, the current display panel often adopts a gate driver on array (GOA) technology to provide the gate driving signal required by the pixels. Different from the traditional gate driver, the circuit using GOA can reduce the production cost of the panel because its manufacturing process can be combined with the manufacturing process of the thin film transistor array (TFT array) of the display panel.
请参考图1及图2。图1为现有技术的移位暂存器100的电路图。图2为图1的移位暂存器100的时序图。移位暂存器100包含四个开关T1a至T1d。其中,开关T1a和T1c分别接收输入信号GN-1及GN+1,而其中输入信号GN-1及GN+1来自于前一级和后一级移位暂存器的输出端。开关T1b的第一端接收时脉信号CK,开关T1b的控制端耦接于节点QN,而开关T1b的第二端耦接于移位暂存器100的输出端以输出输出信号GN。开关T1c和T1d的第一端分别耦接于节点QN及移位暂存器100的输出端,而开关T1c和T1d的第二端都耦接于系统电压端VSS。其中系统电压端VSS的电位可与栅极低电位VGL相同。此外,输入信号GN+1被传送到开关T1c和T1d的控制端,以控制开关T1c和T1d的开启和关闭。此外,另一时脉信号XCK用以控制前一级和后一级移位暂存器的操作,而时脉信号XCK和时脉信号CK会在栅极高电位VGH及栅极低电位VGL之间切换。Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a conventional shift register 100 . FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of the shift register 100 of FIG. 1 . The shift register 100 includes four switches T1a to T1d. Among them, the switches T1a and T1c receive input signals G N-1 and G N+1 respectively, and the input signals G N-1 and G N+1 come from the output terminals of the previous stage and the subsequent stage shift register . The first terminal of the switch T1b receives the clock signal CK, the control terminal of the switch T1b is coupled to the node Q N , and the second terminal of the switch T1b is coupled to the output terminal of the shift register 100 to output the output signal G N . The first terminals of the switches T1c and T1d are respectively coupled to the node QN and the output terminal of the shift register 100, and the second terminals of the switches T1c and T1d are both coupled to the system voltage terminal VSS. The potential of the system voltage terminal VSS may be the same as the low gate potential VGL. In addition, the input signal G N+1 is transmitted to the control terminals of the switches T1c and T1d to control the opening and closing of the switches T1c and T1d. In addition, another clock signal XCK is used to control the operation of the previous stage and the next stage shift register, and the clock signal XCK and the clock signal CK will be between the gate high potential VGH and the gate low potential VGL switch.
在时段TA期间,开关T1a因输入信号GN-1处于栅极高电位VGH而被开启,而导致节点QN的电位被上拉至栅极高电位VGH,并导致开关T1b的开启。此外,开关T1c及T1d因输入信号GN+1处于栅极低电位VGL而被关闭。因开关T1b被开启且时脉信号CK处于栅极低电位VGL,故移位暂存器100的输出端所输出的输出信号GN会处于栅极低电位VGL。During the time period TA , the switch T1a is turned on due to the input signal G N-1 being at the high gate potential VGH, so that the potential of the node Q N is pulled up to the high gate potential VGH, and the switch T1b is turned on. In addition, the switches T1c and T1d are turned off because the input signal G N+1 is at the gate low potential VGL. Since the switch T1b is turned on and the clock signal CK is at the gate low potential VGL, the output signal G N output from the output terminal of the shift register 100 is at the gate low potential VGL.
在时段TB期间,开关T1a、T1c及T1d因输入信号GN-1及GN+1都处于栅极低电位VGL而被关闭,而导致节点QN处于浮接状态。此外,由于时脉信号CK的电位为栅极高电位VGH,并由于开关T1b的寄生电容的耦合效应,而使得节点QN的电位被提升至约两倍的VGH,并使得输出信号GN的电位为栅极高电位VGH。During the period TB, the switches T1a, T1c and T1d are turned off due to the input signals G N−1 and G N+1 being at the gate low potential VGL, so that the node Q N is in a floating state. In addition, because the potential of the clock signal CK is the gate high potential VGH, and due to the coupling effect of the parasitic capacitance of the switch T1b, the potential of the node Q N is raised to approximately twice the VGH, and the output signal G N The potential is the gate high potential VGH.
在时段TC期间,开关T1a因输入信号GN-1处于栅极低电位VGL而被关闭,而开关T1c及T1d因输入信号GN+1处于栅极高电位VGH而被开启。节点QN的电位因开关T1c被开启而被下拉至栅极低电位VGL,而输出信号GN的电位则因开关T1d被开启也被下拉至栅极低电位VGL。During the period T C , the switch T1a is turned off due to the input signal G N-1 being at the gate low potential VGL, and the switches T1c and T1d are turned on due to the input signal G N+1 being at the gate high potential VGH. The potential of the node Q N is pulled down to the gate low potential VGL because the switch T1c is turned on, and the potential of the output signal GN is also pulled down to the gate low potential VGL because the switch T1d is turned on.
然而,因开关T1b的寄生电容(parasitic capacitor)的耦合效应(couplingeffect),在前一级移位暂存器的输出端所输出的输入信号GN-1尚未再次地由栅极低电位VGL被上拉至栅极高电位VGH之前,由于时脉信号CK的电位仍会在栅极高电位VGH及栅极低电位VGL之间进行切换,故容易在节点QN产生突波(glitch),并进而导致移位暂存器100的输出信号GN的波形不正确。此外,因开关T1c及T1d以栅极低电位VGL作为其低电平信号,故开关T1c及T1d容易产生正偏压应力(positive bias stress;PBS)效应,而使得开关T1c及T1d在长时间的操作后其临界电压会产生正偏移,而导致开关T1c及T1d驱动能力下降。However, due to the coupling effect of the parasitic capacitor of the switch T1b, the input signal G N-1 outputted from the output terminal of the shift register in the previous stage has not yet been received by the low gate potential VGL again. Before being pulled up to the gate high potential VGH, since the potential of the clock signal CK is still switching between the gate high potential VGH and the gate low potential VGL, it is easy to generate a glitch at the node Q N , and Furthermore, the waveform of the output signal G N of the shift register 100 is incorrect. In addition, since the switches T1c and T1d use the low gate potential VGL as their low-level signal, the switches T1c and T1d are prone to produce positive bias stress (positive bias stress; PBS) effect, so that the switches T1c and T1d can be used for a long time. After the operation, the threshold voltage will have a positive shift, resulting in a decrease in the driving capability of the switches T1c and T1d.

Since the switches T1c and T1d use the clock signal CK3 as their low-level signal, and the switch T1e uses the clock signal CK_4 as its low-level signal, the switches T1c, T1d and T1e may be forward-biased due to long-time operation. Under the influence of the positive bias stress (PBS) effect, the periodic negative bias stress (negative bias stress; NBS) effect is applied to the switches T1c, T1d and T1e, so the critical voltage of the switches T1c, T1d and T1e will be There is a recovery effect, and thus the driving capabilities of the switches T1c, T1d and T1e can be improved.

Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a shift register circuit 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a timing diagram of the shift register circuit 400 in FIG. 4 . The shift register circuit 400 includes a plurality of shift registers (such as 300_1 to 300_5 ). Wherein, the circuit structure of each shift register 300_1 to 300_5 is the same as the circuit structure of the shift register 300 in FIG. 3 . The shift registers 300_1 to 300_5 respectively output the output signals G1 to G5 to the corresponding gate lines (or scan lines) through the output terminals Out, so as to sequentially turn on the coupling with different gate lines of the display panel. connected pixels. The signal terminals IN of the shift registers 300_2 to 300_5 respectively receive the output signals G 1 to G 4 of the previous stage shift registers 300_1 to 300_4 , while the signal terminal IN of the shift register 300_1 receives Start signal SP. In addition, the first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3 and the fourth input terminal IN4 of the shift register 300_1 and the shift register 300_5 respectively receive the clock signals CK_4, CK1, CK_2 and CK3; the first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3 and the fourth input terminal IN4 of the shift register 300_2 respectively receive the clock signals CK_1, CK2, CK_3 and CK4; the shift register The first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3 and the fourth input terminal IN4 of 300_3 respectively receive clock signals CK_2, CK3, CK_4 and CK1; and the first input terminal of the shift register 300_4 IN1 , the second input terminal IN2 , the third input terminal IN3 and the fourth input terminal IN4 respectively receive clock signals CK_3 , CK4 , CK_1 and CK2 . Among them, the potentials of the clock signals CK1, CK2, CK3 and CK4 will be switched between the gate high potential VGH and the first gate low potential VGL1, and the potentials of the clock signals CK_1, CK_2, CK_3 and CK_4 will be at the gate high potential Switch between VGH and the second low gate potential VGL2, and the second low gate potential VGL2 is lower than the first low gate potential VGL1. In one embodiment of the present invention, the high gate potential VGH is plus 20 volts, the first low gate potential VGL1 is minus 10 volts, and the second gate low potential VGL2 is minus 13 volts, but the present invention is not based on this limit.
此外,每一个时脉信号CK1至CK4会每隔一个周期TP由第一栅极低电位VGL1被提升至栅极高电位VGH,而每一个时脉信号CK_1至CK_4会每隔一个周期TP由第二栅极低电位VGL2被提升至栅极高电位VGH。时脉信号CK1与CK_1具有相似的时序,时脉信号CK2与CK_2具有相似的时序,时脉信号CK3与CK_3具有相似的时序,而时脉信号CK4与CK_4具有相似的时序。详言之,时脉信号CK1由第一栅极低电位VGL1被提升至栅极高电位VGH的时间点以及由栅极高电位VGH被降至第一栅极低电位VGL1的时间点,会与时脉信号CK_1由第二栅极低电位VGL2被提升至栅极高电位VGH的时间点以及由栅极高电位VGH被降至第二栅极低电位VGL2的时间点一致。相似地,时脉信号CK2由第一栅极低电位VGL1被提升至栅极高电位VGH的时间点以及由栅极高电位VGH被降至第一栅极低电位VGL1的时间点,会与时脉信号CK_2由第二栅极低电位VGL2被提升至栅极高电位VGH的时间点以及由栅极高电位VGH被降至第二栅极低电位VGL2的时间点一致。时脉信号CK3由第一栅极低电位VGL1被提升至栅极高电位VGH的时间点以及由栅极高电位VGH被降至第一栅极低电位VGL1的时间点,会与时脉信号CK_3由第二栅极低电位VGL2被提升至栅极高电位VGH的时间点以及由栅极高电位VGH被降至第二栅极低电位VGL2的时间点一致。时脉信号CK4由第一栅极低电位VGL1被提升至栅极高电位VGH的时间点以及由栅极高电位VGH被降至第一栅极低电位VGL1的时间点,会与时脉信号CK_4由第二栅极低电位VGL2被提升至栅极高电位VGH的时间点以及由栅极高电位VGH被降至第二栅极低电位VGL2的时间点一致。In addition, each of the clock signals CK1 to CK4 will be raised from the first gate low potential VGL1 to the gate high potential VGH every other period T P , and each of the clock signals CK_1 to CK_4 will be raised to the gate high potential VGH every other period T P The second gate low potential VGL2 is raised to the gate high potential VGH. The clock signals CK1 and CK_1 have similar timings, the clock signals CK2 and CK_2 have similar timings, the clock signals CK3 and CK_3 have similar timings, and the clock signals CK4 and CK_4 have similar timings. In detail, the time point when the clock signal CK1 is raised from the first low gate potential VGL1 to the high gate potential VGH and the time point when the clock signal CK1 is lowered from the high gate potential VGH to the first low gate potential VGL1 are related to The time point when the clock signal CK_1 is raised from the second low gate potential VGL2 to the high gate potential VGH and the time point when the clock signal CK_1 is lowered from the second low gate potential VGL2 to the second low gate potential VGH are consistent. Similarly, the time point when the clock signal CK2 is raised from the first low gate potential VGL1 to the high gate potential VGH and the time point when the clock signal CK2 is lowered from the high gate potential VGH to the first low gate potential VGL1 will be different from the timing. The time point when the pulse signal CK_2 is raised from the second low gate potential VGL2 to the high gate potential VGH and the time point when the pulse signal CK_2 is lowered from the second low gate potential VGL2 to the second low gate potential VGL2 are consistent. The time point when the clock signal CK3 is raised from the first gate low potential VGL1 to the gate high potential VGH and the time point when the gate high potential VGH is lowered to the first gate low potential VGL1 will be consistent with the clock signal CK_3 The time point when the second gate low potential VGL2 is raised to the gate high potential VGH is the same as the time point when the gate high potential VGH is lowered to the second gate low potential VGL2 . The time point when the clock signal CK4 is raised from the first gate low potential VGL1 to the gate high potential VGH and the time point when the gate high potential VGH is lowered to the first gate low potential VGL1 will be consistent with the clock signal CK_4 The time point when the second gate low potential VGL2 is raised to the gate high potential VGH is the same as the time point when the gate high potential VGH is lowered to the second gate low potential VGL2 .
再者,时脉信号CK1至CK4不同时为栅极高电位VGH,且时脉信号CK1至CK4不同时为栅极高电位VGH。以图5为例,时脉信号CK4、CK1、CK2及CK3分别在时段T1、T3、T5及T7依序地为栅极高电位VGH,且时脉信号CK_4、CK_1、CK_2及CK_3分别在时段T1、T3、T5及T7依序地为栅极高电位VGH。Moreover, the clock signals CK1 to CK4 are not at the gate high potential VGH at the same time, and the clock signals CK1 to CK4 are not at the gate high potential VGH at the same time. Taking FIG. 5 as an example, the clock signals CK4, CK1, CK2 and CK3 are sequentially at the gate high potential VGH during the period T1, T3, T5 and T7 respectively, and the clock signals CK_4, CK_1, CK_2 and CK_3 are respectively in the period T1, T3, T5 and T7 are sequentially at the gate high potential VGH.
另外,由于移位暂存电路400依据八个时脉信号CK1至CK4及CK_1至CK_4进行操作,故移位暂存电路400可称为八相(eight phase)移位暂存电路。移位暂存电路400的第N个移位暂存器的四个输入端IN1至IN4所接收的时脉信号,会与第(N+4)个移位暂存器的四个输入端IN1至IN4所接收的时脉信号相同,其中N为正整数。例如,第一个移位暂存器300_1的第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3及第四输入端IN4分别地接收时脉信号CK_4、CK1、CK_2及CK3,而第五个移位暂存器300_5的第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3及第四输入端IN4所接收的时脉信号也会是时脉信号CK_4、CK1、CK_2及CK3。In addition, since the shift register circuit 400 operates according to eight clock signals CK1 to CK4 and CK_1 to CK_4 , the shift register circuit 400 can be called an eight phase shift register circuit. The clock signals received by the four input terminals IN1 to IN4 of the Nth shift register of the shift register circuit 400 will be connected with the four input terminals IN1 of the (N+4)th shift register. The clock signals received by IN4 are the same, where N is a positive integer. For example, the first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3 and the fourth input terminal IN4 of the first shift register 300_1 respectively receive clock signals CK_4, CK1, CK_2 and CK3, and The clock signals received by the first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3 and the fourth input terminal IN4 of the fifth shift register 300_5 will also be the clock signals CK_4, CK1, CK_2 and CK3.
为能清楚地说明移位暂存器300的特色及优点,请再参考图3及图5。在时段T1期间,移位暂存器300所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4为栅极高电位VGH,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被开启,并导致节点QN的电位为栅极高电位VGH。此外,因时脉信号CK3及CK_2分别处于第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,且时脉信号CK_4为栅极高电位VGH,而使得开关T1e、T1c和T1d被关闭。此外,由于时脉信号CK1处于第一栅极低电位VGL1,且开关T1b被开启,故输出信号GN的电位会是第一栅极低电位VGL1。此外,因时脉信号CK3为第一栅极低电位VGL1,而时脉信号CK_4为栅极高电位VGH,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为极大的负值,而使得开关T1e会被紧密地关闭。In order to clearly illustrate the features and advantages of the shift register 300, please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 again. During the period T1, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 300 are at the gate high potential VGH, so that the switch T1a of the pull-up circuit 310 is turned on, and causes the node Q N to The potential is the gate high potential VGH. In addition, because the clock signals CK3 and CK_2 are at the first low gate potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, and the clock signal CK_4 is at the gate high potential VGH, the switches T1e, T1c and T1d are turned off. In addition, since the clock signal CK1 is at the first gate low potential VGL1 and the switch T1b is turned on, the potential of the output signal G N will be the first gate low potential VGL1. In addition, since the clock signal CK3 is at the first gate low potential VGL1 and the clock signal CK_4 is at the gate high potential VGH, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be a very large negative value, As a result, the switch T1e will be tightly closed.
在时段T2期间,移位暂存器300所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK3及CK_2分别处于第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1e、T1c和T1d被关闭。因此,节点QN的电位会因节点QN处于浮接(floating)状态而维持在栅极高电位VGH。此外,因时脉信号CK1的电位仍为第一栅极低电位VGL1,故输出信号GN的电位会维持在第一栅极低电位VGL1。During the period T2, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 300 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the clock signals CK3 and CK_2 are at the first low gate potential VGL1 and the second low gate potential VGL2 respectively, the switches T1e, T1c and T1d are turned off. Therefore, the potential of the node Q N is maintained at the gate high potential VGH because the node Q N is in a floating state. In addition, because the potential of the clock signal CK1 is still at the first low gate potential VGL1 , the potential of the output signal GN will remain at the first low gate potential VGL1.
在时段T3期间,移位暂存器300所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK_2处于第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1c和T1d被关闭。再者,因时脉信号CK1处于栅极高电位VGH,且开关T1b被开启,而使得输出信号GN的电位被提升至栅极高电位VGH。另外,节点QN的电位因开关T1b的寄生电容的耦合效应以及电容C1的耦合效应,而被提升至栅极高电位VGH的两倍(即2VGH)。此外,因时脉信号CK3为第一栅极低电位VGL1,而时脉信号CK_4为第二栅极低电位VGL2,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为正值(约3伏特),且因节点QN的电位为2VGH,故开关T1e会被轻微地开启,而有电流从节点QN经过开关T1e而流至第一输入端IN1。During the period T3, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 300 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the clock signal CK_2 is at the second low gate potential VGL2, the switches T1c and T1d are turned off. Moreover, because the clock signal CK1 is at the high gate potential VGH, and the switch T1b is turned on, the potential of the output signal GN is raised to the high gate potential VGH. In addition, the potential of the node Q N is raised to twice the gate high potential VGH (ie 2VGH) due to the coupling effect of the parasitic capacitance of the switch T1b and the coupling effect of the capacitor C1. In addition, since the clock signal CK3 is at the first low gate potential VGL1, and the clock signal CK_4 is at the second gate low potential VGL2, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be a positive value (approximately 3 volts), and because the potential of the node Q N is 2VGH, the switch T1e is slightly turned on, and a current flows from the node Q N to the first input terminal IN1 through the switch T1e.
在时段T4期间,移位暂存器300所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK_2的电位为第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1c和T1d被关闭。另外,因时脉信号CK1被下拉至第一栅极低电位VGL1,而使得节点QN的电位因开关T1b的寄生电容的耦合效应而从两倍的栅极高电位2VGH下拉至栅极高电位VGH。再者,因时脉信号CK1处于第一栅极低电位VGL1,且节点QN的电位为栅极高电位VGH,故开关T1b会被开启,而使得输出信号GN的电位被下拉至第一栅极低电位VGL1。另外,因时脉信号CK3为第一栅极低电位VGL1,而时脉信号CK_4为第二栅极低电位VGL2,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为正值(约3伏特),且因节点QN的电位为VGH,故开关T1e会被轻微地开启,而有电流从节点QN经过开关T1e而流至第一输入端IN1。During the period T4, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 300 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the potential of the clock signal CK_2 is the second gate low potential VGL2, the switches T1c and T1d are turned off. In addition, because the clock signal CK1 is pulled down to the first low gate potential VGL1, the potential of the node Q N is pulled down from twice the gate high potential 2VGH to the gate high potential due to the coupling effect of the parasitic capacitance of the switch T1b VGH. Moreover, because the clock signal CK1 is at the first gate low potential VGL1, and the potential of the node Q N is at the gate high potential VGH, the switch T1b is turned on, so that the potential of the output signal G N is pulled down to the first gate potential. Gate low potential VGL1. In addition, since the clock signal CK3 is at the first low gate potential VGL1, and the clock signal CK_4 is at the second gate low potential VGL2, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be a positive value (approximately 3 volts), and because the potential of the node QN is VGH, the switch T1e is slightly turned on, and a current flows from the node QN to the first input terminal IN1 through the switch T1e .
在时段T5期间,移位暂存器300所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK_2的电位为栅极高电位VGH,而使得开关T1c和T1d被开启,并使得节点QN的电位被下拉至第一栅极低电位VGL1,且使输出信号GN的电位维持在第一栅极低电位VGL1。再者,因节点QN的电位为第一栅极低电位VGL1,故开关T1b会被关闭。另外,因时脉信号CK3为第一栅极低电位VGL1,而时脉信号CK_4为第二栅极低电位VGL2,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为正值(约3伏特),故开关T1e会被轻微地开启。又因节点QN的电位为第一栅极低电位VGL1高于第一输入端IN1的第二栅极低电位VGL2,而有极轻微的电流从节点QN经过开关T1e而流至第一输入端IN1。During the period T5, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 300 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the potential of the clock signal CK_2 is the gate high potential VGH, the switches T1c and T1d are turned on, and the potential of the node Q N is pulled down to the first gate low potential VGL1, and the output signal G N The potential is maintained at the first gate low potential VGL1. Moreover, because the potential of the node Q N is the first gate low potential VGL1, the switch T1b is turned off. In addition, since the clock signal CK3 is at the first low gate potential VGL1, and the clock signal CK_4 is at the second gate low potential VGL2, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be a positive value (approximately 3 volts), so the switch T1e will be turned on slightly. And because the potential of the node Q N is that the first gate low potential VGL1 is higher than the second gate low potential VGL2 of the first input terminal IN1, a very slight current flows from the node Q N through the switch T1e to the first input terminal IN1. Terminal IN1.
在时段T6期间,移位暂存器300所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK_2的电位为第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1c和T1d被关闭。另外,因时脉信号CK_2的电位从栅极高电位VGH被下拉至第二栅极低电位VGL2,故节点QN的电位会因电容C2的耦合效应而稍微地下降。开关T1b则因节点QN的电位低于第一栅极低电位VGL1而被关闭,而输出信号GN的电位仍维持在第一栅极低电位VGL1。另外,因时脉信号CK3为第一栅极低电位VGL1,而时脉信号CK_4为第二栅极低电位VGL2,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为正值(约3伏特),而使得开关T1e会被轻微地开启。During the period T6, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 300 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the potential of the clock signal CK_2 is the second gate low potential VGL2, the switches T1c and T1d are turned off. In addition, since the potential of the clock signal CK_2 is pulled down from the high gate potential VGH to the second low gate potential VGL2 , the potential of the node Q N will drop slightly due to the coupling effect of the capacitor C2 . The switch T1b is turned off because the potential of the node Q N is lower than the first low gate potential VGL1, and the potential of the output signal G N remains at the first low gate potential VGL1. In addition, since the clock signal CK3 is at the first low gate potential VGL1, and the clock signal CK_4 is at the second gate low potential VGL2, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be a positive value (approximately 3 volts), so that the switch T1e will be slightly turned on.
在时段T7期间,移位暂存器300所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK_2处于第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1c和T1d被关闭。再者,因时脉信号CK3处于栅极高电位VGH,故开关T1e会被完全地开启,而使得节点QN的电位会被下拉至第二栅极低电位VGL2。输出信号GN的电位则仍维持在第一栅极低电位VGL1。此外,后一级移位暂存器的节点QN+1的电位的波形以及输出信号GN+1的波形会分别与节点QN的电位的波形及输出信号GN的波形类似,在此即不再赘述。During the period T7, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 300 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the clock signal CK_2 is at the second low gate potential VGL2, the switches T1c and T1d are turned off. Moreover, because the clock signal CK3 is at the high gate potential VGH, the switch T1e is fully turned on, so that the potential of the node QN is pulled down to the second low gate potential VGL2. The potential of the output signal GN is still maintained at the first gate low potential VGL1 . In addition, the waveform of the potential of the node Q N+1 and the waveform of the output signal G N+1 of the shift register in the latter stage are similar to the waveform of the potential of the node Q N and the waveform of the output signal G N respectively. That is to say no more.
由上述说明可知,在时段T3至T6的期间,移位暂存器300中的开关T1e会被轻微地开启,而在时段T7的期间,开关T1e会被完全地开启。因此,在前一级移位暂存器的输出端所输出的输入信号GN-1尚未再次地由第一栅极低电位VGL1被上拉至栅极高电位VGH之前,尽管时脉信号CK1仍会在栅极高电位VGH及第一栅极低电位VGL1之间进行切换,但因开关T1e的作用,而可有效地避免移位暂存器300的节点QN处的突波,故可确保移位暂存器300能输出具有正确波形的输出信号GN。It can be known from the above description that the switch T1e in the shift register 300 is slightly turned on during the period T3 to T6, and is fully turned on during the period T7. Therefore, before the input signal G N-1 outputted from the output terminal of the previous stage shift register is pulled up from the first gate low potential VGL1 to the gate high potential VGH again, although the clock signal CK1 It will still switch between the gate high potential VGH and the first gate low potential VGL1, but due to the effect of the switch T1e, the surge at the node Q N of the shift register 300 can be effectively avoided, so it can It is ensured that the shift register 300 can output the output signal G N with the correct waveform.
在本发明一实施例中,移位暂存器300的第三下拉电路350可被省略,而第二下拉电路340的开关T1e的控制端改以接收时脉信号CK2。请参考图6,图6为本发明另一实施例的移位暂存器500的电路图。移位暂存器500包含信号端IN、第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3、第四输入端IN4、第五输入端IN5、输出端Out、上拉电路310、开关T1b、第一下拉电路330以及第二下拉电路540。第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3、第四输入端IN4及第五输入端IN5分别接收不同的时脉信号CK_4、CK1、CK_2、CK3及CK2,而信号端IN用以接收前一级移位暂存器的输出端所输出的输入信号GN-1。In an embodiment of the present invention, the third pull-down circuit 350 of the shift register 300 can be omitted, and the control terminal of the switch T1e of the second pull-down circuit 340 is changed to receive the clock signal CK2. Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a circuit diagram of a shift register 500 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The shift register 500 includes a signal terminal IN, a first input terminal IN1, a second input terminal IN2, a third input terminal IN3, a fourth input terminal IN4, a fifth input terminal IN5, an output terminal Out, a pull-up circuit 310, The switch T1b, the first pull-down circuit 330 and the second pull-down circuit 540 . The first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3, the fourth input terminal IN4 and the fifth input terminal IN5 respectively receive different clock signals CK_4, CK1, CK_2, CK3 and CK2, and the signal terminal IN It is used for receiving the input signal G N-1 outputted from the output terminal of the previous stage shift register.
移位暂存器500的上拉电路310、开关T1b及第一下拉电路330的功用及操作方式与移位暂存器300的上拉电路310、开关T1b及第一下拉电路330相同,故不再赘述。此外,移位暂存器500的第二下拉电路540与节点QN、第一输入端IN1及第五输入端IN5耦接,并用以依据第五输入端IN5的电位,控制节点QN与第一输入端IN1之间的电性连接。在本发明一实施例中,第二下拉电路540包含开关T1e。开关T1e的第一端耦接至节点QN,开关T1e的第二端耦接至第一输入端IN1,而开关T1e的控制端耦接至第五输入端IN5。开关T1e依据时脉信号CK2,控制节点QN与第一输入端IN1之间的电性连接。由于开关T1d及T1e分别以时脉信号CK3和CK_4作为其低电平信号,故可在开关T1d及T1e因长时间的操作而受到正偏压应力(PBS)效应的影响下,对开关T1d及T1e施以周期性的逆偏压应力(NBS)效应,故开关T1d及T1e的临界电压会有回复效果,也因此开关T1d及T1e的驱动能力可被改善。The functions and operation modes of the pull-up circuit 310, the switch T1b and the first pull-down circuit 330 of the shift register 500 are the same as those of the pull-up circuit 310, the switch T1b and the first pull-down circuit 330 of the shift register 300, So no more details. In addition, the second pull-down circuit 540 of the shift register 500 is coupled to the node QN , the first input terminal IN1 and the fifth input terminal IN5, and is used to control the node QN and the fifth input terminal IN5 according to the potential of the fifth input terminal IN5. An electrical connection between the input terminals IN1. In an embodiment of the invention, the second pull-down circuit 540 includes a switch T1e. A first terminal of the switch T1e is coupled to the node Q N , a second terminal of the switch T1e is coupled to the first input terminal IN1 , and a control terminal of the switch T1e is coupled to the fifth input terminal IN5 . The switch T1e controls the electrical connection between the node QN and the first input terminal IN1 according to the clock signal CK2. Since the switches T1d and T1e respectively use the clock signals CK3 and CK_4 as their low-level signals, the switches T1d and T1e can be controlled under the influence of the positive bias stress (PBS) effect due to the long-time operation of the switches T1d and T1e. T1e exerts a periodic reverse bias stress (NBS) effect, so the threshold voltages of the switches T1d and T1e have a recovery effect, and thus the driving capabilities of the switches T1d and T1e can be improved.
移位暂存器500可用于显示面板的栅极驱动器,而栅极驱动电路可包含多级的移位暂存器500,用来提供多个栅极信号,以控制显示面板的像素的开启与关闭。请参考图7及图5。图7为本发明一实施例的移位暂存电路700的示意图。移位暂存电路700包括有多个移位暂存器(如500_1至500_5)。其中,每个移位暂存器500_1至500_5的电路架构与图6的移位暂存器500电路架构相同。移位暂存器500_1至500_5会分别由输出端Out将输出信号G1至G5输出至对应的栅极线(或称扫描线),以依序地开启与显示面板的不同栅极线耦接的像素。移位暂存器500_2至500_5的信号端IN会分别接收其前一级移位暂存器500_1至500_4的输出信号G1至G4,而移位暂存器500_1的信号端IN则是接收起始信号SP。此外,移位暂存器500_1和移位暂存器500_5的第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3、第四输入端IN4及第五输入端IN5分别接收时脉信号CK_4、CK1、CK_2、CK3及CK2。移位暂存器500_2的第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3、第四输入端IN4及第五输入端IN5分别接收时脉信号CK_1、CK2、CK_3、CK4及CK3。移位暂存器500_3的第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3、第四输入端IN4及第五输入端IN5分别接收时脉信号CK_2、CK3、CK_4、CK1及CK4。移位暂存器500_4的第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3、第四输入端IN4及第五输入端IN5分别接收时脉信号CK_3、CK4、CK_1、CK2及CK1。The shift register 500 can be used for the gate driver of the display panel, and the gate drive circuit can include a multi-stage shift register 500 for providing multiple gate signals to control the opening and closing of the pixels of the display panel. closure. Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 5. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a shift register circuit 700 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The shift register circuit 700 includes a plurality of shift registers (such as 500_1 to 500_5 ). Wherein, the circuit structure of each shift register 500_1 to 500_5 is the same as the circuit structure of the shift register 500 in FIG. 6 . The shift registers 500_1 to 500_5 respectively output the output signals G1 to G5 to the corresponding gate lines (or scan lines) through the output terminals Out, so as to sequentially turn on the coupling with different gate lines of the display panel. connected pixels. The signal terminals IN of the shift registers 500_2 to 500_5 respectively receive the output signals G 1 to G 4 of the preceding shift registers 500_1 to 500_4 , while the signal terminals IN of the shift register 500_1 receive Start signal SP. In addition, the first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3, the fourth input terminal IN4 and the fifth input terminal IN5 of the shift register 500_1 and the shift register 500_5 respectively receive the clock signal CK_4, CK1, CK_2, CK3, and CK2. The first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3, the fourth input terminal IN4 and the fifth input terminal IN5 of the shift register 500_2 respectively receive clock signals CK_1, CK2, CK_3, CK4 and CK3 . The first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3, the fourth input terminal IN4 and the fifth input terminal IN5 of the shift register 500_3 respectively receive clock signals CK_2, CK3, CK_4, CK1 and CK4 . The first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3, the fourth input terminal IN4 and the fifth input terminal IN5 of the shift register 500_4 respectively receive clock signals CK_3, CK4, CK_1, CK2 and CK1 .
由于移位暂存电路700依据八个时脉信号CK1至CK4及CK_1至CK_4进行操作,故移位暂存电路700也是一种八相移位暂存电路。移位暂存电路700的第N个移位暂存器的五个输入端IN1至IN5所接收的时脉信号,会与第(N+4)个移位暂存器的五个输入端IN1至IN5所接收的时脉信号相同,其中N为正整数。例如,第一个移位暂存器500_1的第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3、第四输入端IN4及第五输入端IN5分别接收时脉信号CK_4、CK1、CK_2、CK3及CK2,而第五个移位暂存器500_5的第一输入端IN1、第二输入端IN2、第三输入端IN3、第四输入端IN4及第五输入端IN5所接收的时脉信号也会是时脉信号CK_4、CK1、CK_2、CK3及CK2。Since the shift register circuit 700 operates according to eight clock signals CK1 to CK4 and CK_1 to CK_4 , the shift register circuit 700 is also an eight-phase shift register circuit. The clock signals received by the five input terminals IN1 to IN5 of the Nth shift register of the shift register circuit 700 will be connected with the five input terminals IN1 of the (N+4)th shift register. The clock signal received by IN5 is the same, where N is a positive integer. For example, the first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3, the fourth input terminal IN4 and the fifth input terminal IN5 of the first shift register 500_1 respectively receive clock signals CK_4, CK1, CK_2, CK3 and CK2, and the time received by the first input terminal IN1, the second input terminal IN2, the third input terminal IN3, the fourth input terminal IN4 and the fifth input terminal IN5 of the fifth shift register 500_5 The pulse signals are also clock signals CK_4 , CK1 , CK_2 , CK3 and CK2 .
请再参考图6及图5。在时段T1期间,移位暂存器500所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4为栅极高电位VGH,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被开启,并导致节点QN的电位为栅极高电位VGH。此外,因时脉信号CK3及CK_2分别处于第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1d被关闭。再者,因时脉信号CK_4为栅极高电位VGH,而时脉信号CK2的电位为第一栅极低电位VGL1,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为极大的负值,而使得开关T1e会被紧密地关闭。此外,由于时脉信号CK1处于第一栅极低电位VGL1,且开关T1b被开启,故输出信号GN的电位会是第一栅极低电位VGL1。Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 5 again. During the period T1, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 500 are at the gate high potential VGH, so that the switch T1a of the pull-up circuit 310 is turned on, and the node Q N is turned on. The potential is the gate high potential VGH. In addition, because the clock signals CK3 and CK_2 are at the first low gate potential VGL1 and the second low gate potential VGL2 respectively, the switch T1d is turned off. Furthermore, since the clock signal CK_4 is at the high gate potential VGH, and the clock signal CK2 is at the first low gate potential VGL1, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be extremely large. Negative value, so that switch T1e will be closed tightly. In addition, since the clock signal CK1 is at the first gate low potential VGL1 and the switch T1b is turned on, the potential of the output signal G N will be the first gate low potential VGL1.
在时段T2期间,移位暂存器500所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK3及CK_2分别处于第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1d被关闭。再者,因时脉信号CK2的电位为第一栅极低电位VGL1,故开关T1e会被关闭。因此,节点QN的电位会因节点QN处于浮接状态而维持在栅极高电位VGH。此外,因时脉信号CK1的电位仍为第一栅极低电位VGL1,故输出信号GN的电位会维持在第一栅极低电位VGL1。During the period T2, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 500 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the clock signals CK3 and CK_2 are at the first low gate potential VGL1 and the second low gate potential VGL2 respectively, the switch T1d is turned off. Moreover, because the potential of the clock signal CK2 is the first gate low potential VGL1, the switch T1e is turned off. Therefore, the potential of the node Q N is maintained at the gate high potential VGH because the node Q N is in a floating state. In addition, because the potential of the clock signal CK1 is still at the first low gate potential VGL1 , the potential of the output signal GN will remain at the first low gate potential VGL1.
在时段T3期间,移位暂存器500所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK_2处于第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1d被关闭。再者,因时脉信号CK1处于栅极高电位VGH,且开关T1b被开启,而使得输出信号GN的电位被提升至栅极高电位VGH。另外,节点QN的电位因开关T1b的寄生电容的耦合效应以及电容C1的耦合效应,而被提升至栅极高电位VGH的两倍(即2VGH)。此外,因时脉信号CK2为第一栅极低电位VGL1,而时脉信号CK_4为第二栅极低电位VGL2,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为正值(约3伏特),且因节点QN的电位为2VGH,故开关T1e会被轻微地开启,而有电流从节点QN经过开关T1e而流至第一输入端IN1。During the period T3, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 500 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the clock signal CK_2 is at the second low gate potential VGL2, the switch T1d is turned off. Moreover, because the clock signal CK1 is at the high gate potential VGH, and the switch T1b is turned on, the potential of the output signal GN is raised to the high gate potential VGH. In addition, the potential of the node Q N is raised to twice the gate high potential VGH (ie 2VGH) due to the coupling effect of the parasitic capacitance of the switch T1b and the coupling effect of the capacitor C1. In addition, because the clock signal CK2 is at the first low gate potential VGL1, and the clock signal CK_4 is at the second gate low potential VGL2, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be positive (approximately 3 volts), and because the potential of the node Q N is 2VGH, the switch T1e is slightly turned on, and a current flows from the node Q N to the first input terminal IN1 through the switch T1e.
在时段T4期间,移位暂存器500所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK_2的电位为第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1d被关闭。另外,因时脉信号CK1被下拉至第一栅极低电位VGL1,而使得节点QN的电位因开关T1b的寄生电容的耦合效应而从两倍的栅极高电位2VGH下拉至栅极高电位VGH。再者,因时脉信号CK1处于第一栅极低电位VGL1,且节点QN的电位为栅极高电位VGH,故开关T1b会被开启,而使得输出信号GN的电位被下拉至第一栅极低电位VGL1。另外,因时脉信号CK2为第一栅极低电位VGL1,而时脉信号CK_4为第二栅极低电位VGL2,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为正值(约3伏特),且因节点QN的电位为VGH,故开关T1e会被轻微地开启,而有电流从节点QN经过开关T1e而流至第一输入端IN1。During the period T4, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 500 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the potential of the clock signal CK_2 is the second gate low potential VGL2 , the switch T1d is turned off. In addition, because the clock signal CK1 is pulled down to the first low gate potential VGL1, the potential of the node Q N is pulled down from twice the gate high potential 2VGH to the gate high potential due to the coupling effect of the parasitic capacitance of the switch T1b VGH. Moreover, because the clock signal CK1 is at the first gate low potential VGL1, and the potential of the node Q N is at the gate high potential VGH, the switch T1b is turned on, so that the potential of the output signal G N is pulled down to the first gate potential. Gate low potential VGL1. In addition, because the clock signal CK2 is at the first low gate potential VGL1, and the clock signal CK_4 is at the second gate low potential VGL2, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be a positive value (approximately 3 volts), and because the potential of the node QN is VGH, the switch T1e is slightly turned on, and a current flows from the node QN to the first input terminal IN1 through the switch T1e .
在时段T5期间,移位暂存器500所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK和CK_2的电位为栅极高电位VGH,而使得开关T1d和T1e被开启,并使得节点QN的电位被下拉至第二栅极低电位VGL2,且使输出信号GN的电位维持在第一栅极低电位VGL1附近。再者,因节点QN的电位为第二栅极低电位VGL2,故开关T1b会被关闭。During the period T5, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 500 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the potentials of the clock signals CK and CK_2 are at the gate high potential VGH, the switches T1d and T1e are turned on, and the potential of the node QN is pulled down to the second gate low potential VGL2, and the output signal G The potential of N is maintained around the low potential VGL1 of the first gate. Moreover, because the potential of the node Q N is the second gate low potential VGL2, the switch T1b is turned off.
在时段T6期间,移位暂存器500所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK_2的电位为第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1d被关闭。另外,因时脉信号CK2为第一栅极低电位VGL1,而时脉信号CK_4为第二栅极低电位VGL2,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为正值(约3伏特),而使得开关T1e会被轻微地开启,而使得节点QN的电位维持在第二栅极低电位VGL2,输出信号GN的电位则维持在第一栅极低电位VGL1附近。During the period T6, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 500 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the potential of the clock signal CK_2 is the second gate low potential VGL2 , the switch T1d is turned off. In addition, since the clock signal CK2 is at the first low gate potential VGL1, and the clock signal CK_4 is at the second gate low potential VGL2, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be a positive value (approximately 3 volts), so that the switch T1e is slightly turned on, so that the potential of the node Q N is maintained at the second low gate potential VGL2, and the potential of the output signal G N is maintained near the first low gate potential VGL1.
在时段T7期间,移位暂存器500所接收的输入信号GN-1和时脉信号CK_4分别为第一栅极低电位VGL1及第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得上拉电路310的开关T1a被关闭。此外,因时脉信号CK_2处于第二栅极低电位VGL2,而使得开关T1d被关闭。再者,因时脉信号CK2为第一栅极低电位VGL1,而时脉信号CK_4为第二栅极低电位VGL2,故开关T1e的栅极-源极之间的压差会为正值(约3伏特),而使得开关T1e会被轻微地开启,而使得节点QN的电位维持在第二栅极低电位VGL2,输出信号GN的电位则维持在第一栅极低电位VGL1附近。此外,后一级移位暂存器的节点QN+1的电位的波形以及输出信号GN+1的波形会分别与节点QN的电位的波形及输出信号GN的波形类似,在此即不再赘述。During the period T7, the input signal G N-1 and the clock signal CK_4 received by the shift register 500 are the first gate low potential VGL1 and the second gate low potential VGL2 respectively, so that the pull-up circuit 310 Switch T1a is closed. In addition, because the clock signal CK_2 is at the second low gate potential VGL2, the switch T1d is turned off. Moreover, since the clock signal CK2 is at the first low gate potential VGL1, and the clock signal CK_4 is at the second gate low potential VGL2, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the switch T1e will be a positive value ( about 3 volts), so that the switch T1e is slightly turned on, so that the potential of the node Q N is maintained at the second low gate potential VGL2, and the potential of the output signal G N is maintained near the first low gate potential VGL1. In addition, the waveform of the potential of the node Q N+1 and the waveform of the output signal G N+1 of the shift register in the latter stage are similar to the waveform of the potential of the node Q N and the waveform of the output signal G N respectively. That is to say no more.
由上述说明可知,在时段T3、T4、T6及T7的期间,移位暂存器500中的开关T1e会被轻微地开启,而在时段T5的期间,开关T1e会被完全地开启。因此,在前一级移位暂存器的输出端所输出的输入信号GN-1尚未再次地由第一栅极低电位VGL1被上拉至栅极高电位VGH之前,尽管时脉信号CK1仍会在栅极高电位VGH及第一栅极低电位VGL1之间进行切换,但因开关T1e的作用,而可有效地避免移位暂存器500的节点QN处的突波,故可确保移位暂存器500能输出具有正确波形的输出信号GN。It can be known from the above description that the switch T1e in the shift register 500 is slightly turned on during the periods T3, T4, T6 and T7, and is fully turned on during the period T5. Therefore, before the input signal G N-1 outputted from the output terminal of the previous stage shift register is pulled up from the first gate low potential VGL1 to the gate high potential VGH again, although the clock signal CK1 It will still switch between the gate high potential VGH and the first gate low potential VGL1, but due to the effect of the switch T1e, the surge at the node Q N of the shift register 500 can be effectively avoided, so it can It is ensured that the shift register 500 can output the output signal G N with the correct waveform.
此外,在上述说明中,时脉信号CK1、CK_1、CK2、CK_2、CK3、CK_3、CK4、CK_4亦可分别称为第二时脉信号、第六时脉信号、第五时脉信号、第三时脉信号、第四时脉信号、第七时脉信号、第八时脉信号及第一时脉信号。移位暂存器300_1和500_1亦可称为第一移位暂存器。移位暂存器300_2和500_2亦可称为第二移位暂存器。移位暂存器300_3和500_3亦可称为第三移位暂存器。移位暂存器300_4和500_4亦可称为第四移位暂存器。电容C1亦可称为第一电容,而电容C2亦可称为第二电容。开关T1b、T1c及T1d亦可分别称为第一开关、第三开关及第二开关。此外,时段T1、T3、T5及T7亦可分别称为第一时段、第二时段、第三时段及第四时段。另外,图式中的GN+1在现有技术中是指移位暂存器100的“输入信号”,而在本发明实施例中则是指后一级移位暂存器的“输出信号”,特予以说明。In addition, in the above description, the clock signals CK1, CK_1, CK2, CK_2, CK3, CK_3, CK4, and CK_4 may also be referred to as the second clock signal, the sixth clock signal, the fifth clock signal, the third clock signal, respectively. The clock signal, the fourth clock signal, the seventh clock signal, the eighth clock signal and the first clock signal. The shift registers 300_1 and 500_1 can also be referred to as a first shift register. The shift registers 300_2 and 500_2 can also be referred to as second shift registers. The shift registers 300_3 and 500_3 can also be called the third shift register. The shift registers 300_4 and 500_4 can also be called the fourth shift register. The capacitor C1 can also be called a first capacitor, and the capacitor C2 can also be called a second capacitor. The switches T1b, T1c, and T1d may also be referred to as a first switch, a third switch, and a second switch, respectively. In addition, the time periods T1 , T3 , T5 and T7 may also be referred to as a first time period, a second time period, a third time period and a fourth time period, respectively. In addition, G N+1 in the figure refers to the "input signal" of the shift register 100 in the prior art, but in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the "output signal" of the subsequent stage shift register. signal", to be explained.
综上所述,通过本发明实施例的移位暂存器,由于各下拉电路的开关皆以时脉信号作为其低电平信号,故可在各下拉电路的开关因长时间的操作而受到正偏压应力(PBS)效应的影响下,对下拉电路的开关施以周期性的逆偏压应力(NBS)效应,以对临界电压(Vth)产生复原效果,改善驱动能力下降问题。此外,第二下拉电路的开关可适时地轻微地开启或完全地开启,故可抑制因第一开关的寄生电容的耦合效应而产生于第一开关的控制端的突波。In summary, through the shift register of the embodiment of the present invention, since the switches of each pull-down circuit use the clock signal as its low-level signal, it is possible to prevent the switches of each pull-down circuit from being damaged due to long-term operation. Under the influence of the positive bias stress (PBS) effect, a periodic reverse bias stress (NBS) effect is applied to the switch of the pull-down circuit to restore the threshold voltage (Vth) and improve the problem of reduced driving capability. In addition, the switch of the second pull-down circuit can be slightly turned on or fully turned on in time, so that the surge generated at the control terminal of the first switch due to the coupling effect of the parasitic capacitance of the first switch can be suppressed.
