Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the display panel 100 includes a display area 1 and a peripheral area 2 surrounding the display area 1. For example, the display region 1 is rectangular, and the peripheral region 2 is rectangular and annular. The display area 1 is provided with a plurality of rows of scanning lines 11 and a plurality of columns of data lines 12, the plurality of rows of scanning lines 11 are arranged at intervals, the plurality of columns of data lines 12 are arranged at intervals, and the data lines 12 and the scanning lines 11 are arranged in an insulating mode.

The driving module includes, but is not limited to, the first driving circuit 23 and the second driving circuit 24. Specifically, the first driving circuit 23 is electrically connected to the first transistor T1 through a signal trace. The signal trace is used for transmitting a first control signal to the first transistor T1 so as to control the first transistor T1 to be turned on or off. In one embodiment, the signal trace may be a scan line 11.
It is understood that, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the first transistor T1 is a thin film transistor, and the first transistor T1 has a gate g11, a first terminal p11 and a second terminal p 12.

Of course, in other embodiments, the first transistor T1 may be a P-type transistor, and when the voltage difference between the first control signal and the drain of the first transistor T1 is smaller than the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1, the first terminal P11 and the second terminal P12 of the first transistor T1 are electrically connected; when the voltage difference between the first control signal and the drain of the first transistor T1 is greater than the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1, the first terminal p11 and the second terminal p12 of the first transistor T1 are electrically disconnected.

It is understood that, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the second transistor T2 is a thin film transistor, and the second transistor T2 has a gate g21, a first terminal p21 and a second terminal p 22. The gate g21 is electrically connected to the scan line 11, and the first terminal p21 is used for receiving a first voltage signal VDD. When the conductive path from the second transistor T2 to the light emitting unit 130 is turned on, the first signal is used to drive the light emitting unit 130 to emit light. Wherein, the first end p21 of the second transistor T2 is a source, and the second end p22 of the second transistor T2 is a drain; alternatively, the first terminal p21 of the second transistor T2 is a drain, and the second terminal p22 of the second transistor T2 is a source. Specifically, taking the second transistor T2 as an N-type transistor as an example, when the voltage difference between the second control signal and the drain of the second transistor T2 is greater than the threshold voltage of the second transistor T2, i.e., when the second control signal with a high level is applied to the gate of the second transistor T2, the first terminal p21 and the second terminal p22 of the second transistor T2 are electrically connected.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the first driving circuit 23 is a GOA driving circuit, and the first driving circuit 23 implements progressive scanning of the pixel region 13 of the display region 1 to control the light emitting units 130 in the pixel region 13 to emit light row by row.
In one mode, the first driving circuits 23 are divided into two groups, and each group of the first driving circuits 23 is respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the display area 1, for example, on the left and right sides of the display area 1. However, in the process of manufacturing the first driving circuits 23, the first driving circuits 23 on the left and right sides of the display area 1 are usually manufactured in different processes due to the larger spacing between the first driving circuits 23 on the left and right sides of the display area 1, but different processes may cause differences in electron mobility or threshold voltage of the thin film transistors in the two groups of first driving circuits 23, and further cause inconsistent charging state between pixel areas of adjacent rows in the display panel 100, for example, the first row of pixel areas 13 is driven by the first driving circuit 23 on the left side of the display area 1, the second row of pixel areas 13 is driven by the first driving circuit 23 on the right side of the display area 1, if the falling edge time of the thin film transistors in the first driving circuit 23 on the right side is longer, the second row of pixel areas 13 may be charged to the next level data voltage by mistake, and the brightness of the second row of pixel areas 13 is reduced, thereby causing bright and dark lines to be generated on the display panel 100, and further affecting the display function of the display panel 100.
In the display panel 100 provided in this embodiment, the first driving circuit 23 for controlling the on/off of the first transistor T1 is disposed on one side of the display area 1, so that the thin film transistors in the first driving circuit 23 can be manufactured in the same manufacturing process, and the second driving circuit 24 for controlling the on/off of the second transistor T2 is disposed on the other side of the display area 1, so that the thin film transistors in the second driving circuit 24 can be manufactured in the same manufacturing process, so as to improve the uniformity of the thin film transistors in the first driving circuit 23 and the uniformity of the thin film transistors in the second driving circuit 24, so that the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 in each row of pixel areas 13 can be turned on/off in a correct time period, and further, so that the data voltage written into each row of pixel areas 13 is accurate, and the uniformity of luminance display of the display panel 100 is improved; moreover, the first driving circuit 23 and the second driving circuit 24 respectively occupy the two opposite sides of the display area 1, so as to improve the symmetry of the display panel 100, avoid the problem that the first driving circuit 23 and the second driving circuit 24 are arranged on the same side of the display area 1, which causes the width of the peripheral area 2 to be too large, and promote the narrow frame design of the display panel 100.
In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 1, the first driving circuit 23 includes a plurality of first driving sub-circuits 231 and second driving sub-circuits 232. The first driving sub-circuit 231 is used for generating a first signal, and the first signal is used for controlling the on/off of the first transistor T1 in the pixel area 13 of the odd-numbered rows. The second driving sub-circuit 232 is configured to generate a second signal, and the second signal is used to control the on/off of the first transistor T1 in the pixel area 13 in the even-numbered row. It is understood that the first control signal includes a first signal and a second signal.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, each first transistor T1 in the pixel region 13 in each odd-numbered row is electrically connected to the first driving sub-circuit 231 through one row of the scan lines 11, and the scan lines 11 in the odd-numbered rows are used for transmitting the first signal to control the on/off of the first transistor T1 in the pixel region 13 in the odd-numbered rows. Each first transistor T1 in each even row of the pixel area 13 is electrically connected to the second driving sub-circuit 232 through a row of the scan lines 11, and the scan lines 11 in the even rows are used for transmitting the second signal to control the on/off of the first transistor T1 in the even row of the pixel area 13.
By driving the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 in the odd-numbered row of the display area 1 by the first driving sub-circuit 231 and the second driving sub-circuit 232 which are independent of each other, respectively, the brightness of the display area 1 driven by the staggered driving method is realized, and the display efficiency of the display area 1 of the display panel 100 is improved.
In other embodiments, the first driving sub-circuit 231 and the second driving sub-circuit 232 may be configured to drive a plurality of rows of consecutive first transistors T1, for example, the first driving sub-circuit 231 is configured to drive the first transistors T1 of the 1 st, 2 nd, 5 th, 6 th, 9 th, 10 th, … to be turned on and off, and the second driving sub-circuit 232 is configured to drive the first transistors T1 of the 3 rd, 4 th, 7 th, 8 th, 11 th, 12 th, … to be turned on and off.
Referring to fig. 1, for convenience of description, the length direction of the display panel 100 is determined as the Y-axis direction, and the width direction of the display panel 100 is determined as the X-axis direction.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the plurality of second driving sub-circuits 232 are arranged in a row along the Y-axis direction, and the plurality of first driving sub-circuits 231 are arranged in another row along the Y-axis direction. The plurality of second driving sub-circuits 232 are located between the plurality of first driving sub-circuits 231 and the display area 1. That is, the first driving sub-circuit 231 and the second driving sub-circuit 232 are disposed in two rows in the Y-axis direction. Further, the first driving sub-circuit 231 and the second driving sub-circuit 232 are arranged in a staggered manner in the X-axis direction, so that the routing of the first driving sub-circuit 231 can pass through the second driving sub-circuit 232, and the layout of the routing is more reasonable.
By arranging the first driving sub-circuit 231 and the second driving sub-circuit 232 in two rows in the Y-axis direction, the problem of the limited arrangement space of the first driving sub-circuit 231 and the second driving sub-circuit 232 in the Y-axis direction is effectively solved.
In other embodiments, the first and second driving sub-circuits 231 and 232 are divided into a plurality of columns, such as three columns, four columns, and the like, which are greater than two, in the Y-axis direction.
In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 3, the first driving sub-circuit 231 includes a plurality of cascaded first driving units 233. The plurality of first driving units 233 are G1, G3 … …, G2n-3, G2n-1, respectively. The first driving unit 233 is electrically connected to the first transistor T1 in at least one row of the odd-numbered pixel regions 13. The first driving unit 233 is configured to drive the first transistor T1 electrically connected to the first driving unit 233 to be turned on or off.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 3, the first driving sub-circuit 231 includes n first driving units 233, which are cascaded with each other, where n is a positive integer. The first driving unit 233 of each stage is configured to control on and off of the first transistor T1 (hereinafter, referred to as the first transistor T1 of the odd-numbered row) in the pixel region 13 of the odd-numbered row. For example, the first driving unit G1 of the first stage is used to drive the on/off of the first transistor T1 of the first row, the first driving unit G3 of the second stage is used to drive the on/off of the first transistor T1 of the third row, and the first driving unit G2n-1 of the nth stage is used to drive the on/off of the first transistor T1 of the (2n-1) th row. The n first driving units 233 are cascaded with each other, that is, the first driving unit G2n-3 of the (n-1) th stage outputs a scan signal according to the output terminal of the first driving unit G2n-5 of the (n-2) th stage and a scan signal output from the output terminal of the first driving unit G2n-1 of the n-th stage. In other embodiments, the first driving unit 233 of each stage may control the turn-on and turn-off of the first transistors T1 of a plurality of odd rows.
Further, referring to fig. 3, the first driving sub-circuit 231 further includes a dummy first driving unit G01 and a dummy first driving unit G03. The dummy first driving unit G01 is disposed at a previous stage of the first driving unit G1 of the first stage, so that the first driving unit G1 of the first stage can receive the trigger signal sent by the dummy first driving unit G01 and can generate the reset signal to the dummy first driving unit G01. The dummy first driving unit G03 is disposed at a stage next to the nth stage first driving unit G2n-1, so that the nth stage first driving unit G2n-1 can transmit a trigger signal to the dummy first driving unit G03 and can receive a reset signal transmitted by the dummy first driving unit G03.
In this embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the first driving unit 233 is used for generating a first scan signal. The first scan signal is used to control on/off of the first transistor T1 electrically connected to the first driving unit 233 of the current stage. It is understood that the first signal includes the first scan signal generated by the first driving unit 233 of each stage.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the nth stage first driving unit G2n-1 is electrically connected to the 2n-1 st transistor T1 through the 2n-1 st scan line 11, the nth stage first driving unit G2n-1 generates a first scan signal s1, and the first scan signal s1 is transmitted to each first transistor T1 of the 2n-1 st row through the 2n-1 st scan line 11, so that the first scan signal s1 controls on/off of each first transistor T1 of the 2n-1 st row.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, each of the first transistors T1 in the 2N-1 th column is illustrated as an N-type tft. The first scan signal s1 may be high or low. When the first scan signal s1 is at a high level, the first scan signal s1 controls each of the first transistors T1 in the 2n-1 th row to be turned on, that is, the first transistor T1 controls the first terminal p11 of the first transistor T1 and the second terminal p12 of the first transistor T1 to be electrically connected under the condition that the gate g11 loads the first scan signal s1, so that the data line 12 writes the data voltage Vdata into the second terminal p12 of the first transistor T1 through the first terminal p11 of the first transistor T1. When the first scan signal s1 is at a low level, the first scan signal s1 controls each of the first transistors T1 of the 2n-1 th row to be turned off, i.e., the gate g11 of the first transistor T1 controls the first terminal p11 of the first transistor T1 and the second terminal p12 of the first transistor T1 to be turned off under the control of the first scan signal s1, so that the data line 12 does not write the data voltage Vdata into the second terminal p12 of the first transistor T1 through the first terminal p11 of the first transistor T1.
It is understood that the first scan signal s1 controls the turn-on or turn-off of each first transistor T1 of the 2n-1 th row to perform one scan of the first transistor T1 of the 2n-1 th row by the first driving unit 233.
It is understood that the first driving unit 233 further includes a first clock signal terminal. The first clock signal end is used for receiving a first clock signal or a second clock signal, and pulses of the first clock signal and the second clock signal are sequentially output in turn and are not overlapped with each other. The first driving unit 233 generates a first scan signal at a high level according to the first clock signal. The first driving unit 233 generates a first scan signal at a low level according to the second clock signal.
The first driving unit 233 is further configured to generate a first trigger signal. The first trigger signal is used for triggering the first driving unit 233 at the next stage to operate after the first scanning signal generated by the first driving unit 233 at the current stage is scanned.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the first driving unit G2n-3 at the n-1 th stage generates the first trigger signal s2 and transmits the first trigger signal s2 to the first driving unit G2n-1 at the n-th stage to trigger the first driving unit G2n-1 at the n-th stage to start scanning the transistors in the pixel area 13 at the 2n-1 th row. The transistors in the pixel region 13 include, but are not limited to, the first transistor T1. It is understood that the first trigger signal may be high or low. When the first driving unit G2n-3 of the nth-1 stage generates the first trigger signal s2 to be a low level, the first driving unit G2n-1 of the nth stage stops scanning the transistors in the pixel region 13 of the 2n-1 th row under the control of the first trigger signal s 2. When the first driving unit G2n-3 of the nth-1 stage generates the first trigger signal s2 to be high level, the first driving unit G2n-1 of the nth stage starts scanning the transistors in the pixel region 13 of the 2n-1 th row under the control of the first trigger signal s 2.
The first driving unit 233 is further configured to generate a first reset signal. The first reset signal is used to reset the potential of the first driving unit 233 of the previous stage after the first scan signal generated by the first driving unit 233 of the previous stage is scanned.

The second terminal P42 of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second terminal P32 of the third transistor T3, so that the third transistor T3 controls the potential of the second terminal P42 of the fourth transistor T4. When the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, the light emitting unit 130 receives the first voltage signal VDD, and the light emitting unit 130 emits light under the driving of the first voltage signal VDD. In the present embodiment, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 are N-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 is a P-type transistor, for example, but it goes without saying that in other embodiments, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 are P-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 is an N-type transistor.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the first driving unit G2n-1 of the nth stage is electrically connected to the third transistor T3 in the pixel area 13 of the 2n-1 th row through the scan line 11 of the 2n-1 th row. After the first scan signal generated by the first driving unit G2n-1 of the nth stage completes scanning the first transistors T1 in the pixel region 13 of the 2n-1 th row, the first driving unit G2n-1 of the nth stage generates the second scan signal s4 to scan the third transistors T3 in the pixel region 13 of the 2n th row so that the gate G31 of each third transistor T3 in the pixel region 13 of the 2n th row is at a high level, and then the first terminal P31 and the second terminal P32 of each third transistor T3 in the pixel region 13 of the 2n th row are turned on to write the initial voltage Vint from the first terminal P31 of each third transistor T3 in the pixel region 13 of the 2n th row to the second terminal P32 of the third transistor T3, and then to the potential of the first terminal P41 of the fourth transistor T4. It can be understood that the first driving unit G2n-1 of the nth stage is electrically connected to the scan line 11 of the 2 nth row and transfers the second scan signal s4 to each third transistor T3 in the pixel region 13 of the 2 nth row through the scan line 11 of the 2 nth row.

In other embodiments, the second driving unit 234 of each stage may control the switching of the first transistors T1 of a plurality of even rows.
It can be understood that the second driving unit 234 and the first driving unit 233 have the same structure, and the electrical connection and control manner between the second driving unit 234 and the first transistor T1 in the even-numbered row pixel region 13 are the same as the electrical connection and control manner between the first driving unit 233 and the first transistor T1 in the odd-numbered row pixel region 13, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.
For example, referring to fig. 3, after the first scan signal generated by the first driving unit G1 of the 1 st stage completes the switching of the first transistor T1 of the 1 st column, the first driving unit G1 of the 1 st stage generates the second scan signal, and the second scan signal can control the switching of the third transistor T3 of the 2 nd column. After the gate of the third transistor T3 of the 2 nd row receives the second scan signal, the second driving unit G2 of the 1 st stage generates a scan signal, and the scan signal is transmitted to the gate of the first transistor T1 of the 2 nd row through the scan line 11 of the 2 nd row to control the on/off of the first transistor T1 of the 2 nd row, so as to scan the transistors in the pixel region 13 of the 2 nd row. After the scanning of the transistors in the pixel region 13 of the 2 nd row is completed, i.e., after one scan period, the first driving unit G1 of the 1 st stage generates a first trigger signal for triggering the first driving unit G3 of the 2 nd stage to generate a first scan signal to scan the transistors of the pixel region 13 of the third row. After the transistor scan in the pixel region 13 of the third row is completed, the first driving unit G3 of the 2 nd stage transfers a scan signal to the third transistor T3 of the fourth row through the scan line 11 of the fourth row to turn on the third transistor T3 of the fourth row; the second driving unit G2 of the 1 st stage generates a trigger signal for triggering the second driving unit G4 of the 2 nd stage to generate a scan signal for scanning the first transistors T1 of the pixel regions 13 of the 4 th row, and so on, to realize the row-by-row scanning of the transistors of the pixel regions 13 of the 2n rows in the display region 1.

The dummy second driving unit G04 is disposed at a stage next to the nth stage second driving unit G2n, so that the nth stage second driving unit G2n can transmit a trigger signal to the dummy second driving unit G04 and can receive a reset signal transmitted by the dummy second driving unit G04.
In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 1, the first wiring region 21 is further provided with a signal line 24.

That is, the third driver sub-circuit 241 and the fourth driver sub-circuit 242 are disposed in two rows in the Y-axis direction. Further, the third driving sub-circuit 241 and the fourth driving sub-circuit 242 are arranged in an staggered manner in the X-axis direction, so that the routing of the third driving sub-circuit 241 can pass through the fourth driving sub-circuit 242, and the layout of the routing is more reasonable.
By arranging the third drive sub-circuit 241 and the fourth drive sub-circuit 242 in two rows in the Y-axis direction, the problem of the limited arrangement space of the third drive sub-circuit 241 and the fourth drive sub-circuit 242 in the Y-axis direction is effectively solved.

Specifically, the third driving sub-circuit 241 includes n third driving units 243 cascaded with each other, where n is a positive integer. The third driving unit 243 of each stage is used to control the on/off of the second transistor T2 of one odd row. In other embodiments, the third driving unit 243 of each stage is used to control the on/off of the second transistor T2 of the odd rows of the plurality of rows.
Further, the third driving unit 243 is configured to generate a third scan signal, where the third scan signal controls on/off of the second transistor T2 electrically connected to the third driving unit 243 of the current stage.
