Referring to fig. 1 to 3, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a display panel provided by the present application, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a pixel unit provided by the present application, and fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an equivalent circuit of an embodiment of a pixel unit provided by the present application.
The application provides a display panel, which comprises a plurality of pixel units 10, two grid driving circuits 20 and a switch circuit 40 which are arranged in an array mode. Each pixel unit 10 includes a display switch 11 and a black insertion switch 12. The gate driving circuit 20 includes a plurality of cascaded shift register units GOA. The switch circuits 40 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the shift register units GOA, and are disposed in correspondence with and electrically connected to at least one row of the pixel units 10. The switching circuit 40 is configured to output a single cascade control signal corresponding to the output of the shift register unit GOA as a driving cascade signal or a black insertion cascade signal. The driving cascade signal is used for controlling the display switch 11 in the pixel unit 10 in the corresponding row to be turned on so as to drive the pixel unit 10 to display a normal picture. The black inserting cascade signal is used for controlling the black inserting switch 12 in the pixel unit 10 of the corresponding row to be turned on so as to drive the pixel unit 10 to display a black picture.
In the application, a single cascade control signal output by each shift register unit GOA is output as a driving cascade signal to drive the pixel units 10 to display normal pictures, or is output as a black inserting cascade signal to drive the pixel units 10 to display black pictures to realize black inserting display, so that each shift register unit GOA can realize normal display or black inserting display of a display panel, and in addition, two grid driving circuits 20 are arranged, so that the display panel can realize black inserting display besides double-side driving or single-side driving of each row of pixel units 10, thereby realizing diversification of display modes of the display panel.
The display panel has a display area 101 and a bezel area 102 located at a side of the display area 101. In the application, the display panel is a liquid crystal panel.
The display panel further includes a plurality of Data lines Data. The pixel unit 10 further includes a pixel capacitor C, a pixel electrode 13, and a common electrode 14, wherein an input end of the display switch 11 is electrically connected to the Data line Data, an output end of the display switch 11 is electrically connected to one end of the pixel capacitor C through the pixel electrode 13, and the other end of the pixel capacitor C is electrically connected to the common electrode 14. The input terminal of the black insertion switch 12 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode 13, and the output terminal of the black insertion switch 12 is electrically connected to the common electrode 14. The input terminal of the black insertion switch 12 is electrically connected between the pixel capacitor C and the pixel electrode 13.
Liquid crystal molecules are disposed between each pixel electrode 13 and each common electrode 14, and when a potential difference exists between the pixel electrode 13 and the corresponding common electrode 14, an electric field is generated, and the electric field drives the corresponding liquid crystal molecules to deflect, so that the pixel unit 10 displays a normal picture. When the potential between the pixel electrode 13 and the corresponding common electrode 14 is the same, the corresponding liquid crystal molecules are not deflected, and the pixel unit 10 displays a black picture.
Specifically, when the display switch 11 is turned on and the black insertion switch 12 is turned off, there is a potential difference between the common electrode 14 and the pixel electrode 13 to drive the pixel unit 10 to display a normal picture. When the display switch 11 is turned off and the black insertion switch 12 is turned on, the potential between the common electrode 14 and the pixel electrode 13 is the same to drive the pixel unit 10 to display a black picture.
It should be noted that, the display switch 11 and the black insertion switch 12 in each pixel unit 10 cannot be turned on at the same time, so as to avoid affecting the normal display of the pixel unit 10.
The two gate driving circuits 20 are respectively disposed in the frame region 102 and disposed on opposite sides of the display region 101. Each gate driving circuit 20 includes a plurality of cascaded shift register units GOA. The specific structure of the shift register unit GOA is not limited here, and is selected according to actual requirements. Each shift register unit GOA is disposed and coupled to at least one row of pixel units 10 to drive the pixel units 10 of the corresponding row to display. That is, each shift register unit GOA may drive one row of pixel units 10, or may drive multiple rows of pixel units 10, which is not limited herein, and may be selected according to practical requirements.
In the present embodiment, the structures of the two gate driving circuits 20 are the same. Each shift register unit GOA drives a row of pixel cells 10.
In other embodiments, the structures of the two gate driving circuits 20 may be different.
The display panel further includes a plurality of gate line groups 30 disposed at intervals. Each gate line group 30 is disposed corresponding to and electrically connected to a row of pixel cells 10. The Gate line group 30 includes one display Gate line Gate1 and one black inserted Gate line Gate2 arranged at intervals. The display Gate line Gate1 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the display switch 11 in the pixel unit 10 of the corresponding row to control the turn-on of the display switch 11, and the black insertion Gate line Gate2 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the black insertion switch 12 in the pixel unit 10 of the corresponding row to control the turn-on of the black insertion switch 12.
Specifically, the extending direction of the display Gate line Gate1 is the row direction of the pixel unit 10. The display Gate lines Gate1 and the black inserted Gate lines Gate2 in the Gate line group 30 are insulated and arranged at intervals, so as to avoid the short circuit connection of the display Gate lines Gate1 and the black inserted Gate lines Gate2, which affects the display of the pixel unit 10.
In the present embodiment, the black inserted Gate line Gate2 and the display Gate line Gate1 in the Gate line group 30 are disposed in parallel, and the black inserted Gate line Gate2 and the display Gate line Gate1 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the pixel units 10 in the corresponding row. That is, the extending direction of the Gate line group 30 is parallel to the extending direction of the display Gate line Gate 1.
It should be understood that in other embodiments, the black inserted Gate line Gate2 and the display Gate line Gate1 in the Gate line group 30 may be located on the same side of the pixel units 10 in the corresponding row.
The two Gate driving circuits 20 are respectively located at opposite sides of the Gate line group 30 along the extending direction of the display Gate line Gate 1. One of the two gate driving circuits 20 is coupled to one end of the gate line group 30 and the other is coupled to the other end of the gate line group 30, so that the two gate driving circuits 20 can simultaneously drive one row of the pixel units 10.
The switch circuit 40 is electrically connected between the corresponding shift register unit GOA and the corresponding gate line group 30. That is, one end of the switching circuit 40 is connected to the shift register unit GOA, and the other end is electrically connected to the gate line group 30 to transmit the cascade control signal outputted from the shift register unit GOA to the gate line group 30, thereby driving the pixel units 10 in the corresponding row to display.
Further, the switching circuit 40 is used to transmit the single cascade control signal output by the corresponding shift register unit GOA as a driving cascade signal to the display Gate line Gate1 in the corresponding Gate line group 30, or the switching circuit 40 is used to transmit the single cascade control signal output by the corresponding shift register unit GOA as a black inserting cascade signal to the black inserting Gate line Gate2 in the corresponding Gate line group 30.
It may be understood that the switch circuit 40 may conduct between the output terminal of the shift register unit GOA and the corresponding display Gate line Gate1, so that the single cascade control signal outputted by the shift register unit GOA is transmitted to the display Gate line Gate1 as a driving cascade signal to drive the pixel unit 10 connected to the display Gate line Gate1 to display a normal picture, or the switch circuit 40 may conduct between the output terminal of the shift register unit GOA and the corresponding black insertion Gate line Gate2, so that the single cascade control signal outputted by the shift register unit GOA is transmitted to the black insertion Gate line Gate2 as a black insertion cascade signal to drive the pixel unit 10 connected to the black insertion Gate line Gate2 to display a black picture. That is, the cascade control signal output by the shift register unit GOA in the present application is a driving cascade signal or a black insertion cascade signal. One switching circuit 40 cannot output the driving cascade signal and the black insertion cascade signal at the same time, and can selectively output only a single cascade control signal output from a single shift register unit GOA as the driving cascade signal or the black insertion cascade signal.
In the present application, the types of signals output from the switch circuits 40 corresponding to the shift register units GOA in the same gate driving circuit 20 are the same. Specifically, the switch circuits 40 corresponding to the shift register units GOA in the same gate driving circuit 20 all output driving cascade signals or all output black insertion cascade signals.
Each gate driving circuit 20 further includes a first signal line 21 and a second signal line 22. The switching circuit 40 includes a first switch 41 and a second switch 42, an input terminal of the first switch 41 is electrically connected to an output terminal of the corresponding shift register unit GOA, an output terminal of the first switch 41 is electrically connected to the corresponding display Gate line Gate1, and a control terminal of the first switch 41 is electrically connected to the first signal line 21. The input terminal of the second switch 42 is connected to the same output terminal of the corresponding shift register unit GOA as the input terminal of the first switch 41, the output terminal of the second switch 42 is electrically connected to the corresponding black inserted Gate line Gate2, and the control terminal of the second switch 42 is electrically connected to the second signal line 22. That is, the first signal line 21 is used for controlling the on and off of the first switch 41, and the second signal line 22 is used for controlling the on and off of the second switch 42. The first switch 41 is used for switching on and off between the output terminal of the shift register unit GOA and the display Gate line Gate 1. The second switch 42 is used for switching on and off between the output terminal of the shift register unit GOA and the black inserted Gate line Gate 2.
In this embodiment, the first switch 41 and the second switch 42 are both transistors, and the transistors of the first switch 41 and the second switch 42 are the same type and are both N-type transistors.
In other embodiments, the first switch 41 and the second switch 42 may be other types of transistors.
The first signal line 21 and the second signal line 22 are independently controlled. The driving timing of the first signal line 21 and the driving timing of the second signal line 22 do not overlap, so as to avoid the influence on the normal display of the pixel unit 10 when the display switch 11 and the black insertion switch 12 are turned on simultaneously.
Each gate driving circuit 20 further includes at least one clock signal line CK, the number of which is not limited here, and is selected according to the actual structure of the gate driving circuit 20.
The display panel includes a normal display mode and a black insertion display mode. When the display panel is in the normal display mode, at least one gate driving circuit 20 is operated, and the switching circuits 40 corresponding to all the shift register units GOA in the gate driving circuit 20 output the cascade control signals as driving cascade signals. That is, when the display panel is in the normal display mode, one gate driving circuit 20 operates to drive each row of the pixel units 10 on one side, and when two gate driving circuits 20 operate simultaneously, each row of the pixel units 10 is driven on both sides. Compared with the single-side driving, the driving capability of the pixel unit 10 can be improved, and the picture display is more uniform. Meanwhile, when the gate driving circuit 20 on one side is abnormal, the gate driving circuit 20 on the other side can be adopted to work so as to improve the fault tolerance of the gate driving circuit 20 and the yield and the service life of the display panel.
When the display panel is in the black insertion display mode, the two gate driving circuits 20 are operated, the switch circuits 40 corresponding to all the shift register units GOA in one gate driving circuit 20 output the cascade control signals as driving cascade signals, and the switch circuits 40 corresponding to all the shift register units GOA in the other gate driving circuit 20 output the cascade control signals as black insertion cascade signals, wherein the driving timings of the two gate driving circuits 20 differ by at least half a frame within one frame. That is, one gate driving circuit 20 is used to drive each row of the pixel units 10 to display a normal picture, and the other gate driving circuit 20 is used as a black inserting circuit to drive each row of the pixel units 10 to display a black picture. In one frame, the driving timings of the frame start signals of the two gate driving circuits 20 are different by at least half a frame.
Compared with the prior art, the display panel provided by the application has multiple display modes by the matching use of the switch circuit 40 and the gate driving circuit 20, so that not only can single-drive and double-drive be realized, but also black insertion display can be realized, and the mode switching can be performed according to the requirements of customers or the display requirements, thereby improving the use feeling of customers. Secondly, the application is suitable for the black insertion mode of the display panel with high resolution without increasing the number of the grid driving circuits 20 under the condition of being compatible with the normal display mode and the black insertion display mode.
Further, each Gate driving circuit 20 further includes a ground power supply signal line VSS, the display panel further includes a reset switch 50, the reset switch 50 is disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the shift register units GOA, an input end of the reset switch 50 is electrically connected to the black inserted Gate line Gate2 corresponding to the corresponding shift register unit GOA, an output end of the reset switch 50 is electrically connected to the ground power supply signal line VSS, and a control end of the reset switch 50 is connected to an output end of the shift register unit GOA of the next m stages of the corresponding shift register unit GOA. Wherein m is a natural number greater than or equal to 1.
The reset switch 50 is used for pulling the potential of the black inserted Gate line Gate2 to a low potential after the black inserted display is finished in the black inserted display mode, so as to turn off the black inserted switch 12 connected with the black inserted Gate line Gate2, thereby avoiding the incomplete influence on the normal display of the pixel unit 10 due to the turn-off of the black inserted switch 12. Meanwhile, in the normal display mode, the situation that the electric potential of the corresponding black inserted Gate line Gate2 is pulled up due to the leakage of the second switch 42 in the switch circuit 40, which causes the black inserted switch 12 to be turned on and affects the display of the pixel unit 10 to display a normal picture can be avoided.
In the present application, in the black insertion display mode, the driving timings of the frame start signals of the two gate driving circuits 20 are set to be different by at least half a frame in a frame, so that the reset switches 50 and the black insertion switches 12 corresponding to the pixel units 10 in the same row are not turned on at the same time, thereby affecting the display of the black image by the pixel units 10. Specifically, when the black inserting switch 12 in the pixel unit 10 is turned on, the reset switch 50 corresponding to the row of pixel units 10 is turned on at the same time, the potential of the black inserting Gate line Gate2 corresponding to the row of pixel units 10 is pulled down, so that the potential of the black inserting Gate line Gate2 is lower than the Gate threshold voltage of the black inserting switch 12, and the potential of the black inserting Gate line Gate2 is insufficient to turn on the black inserting switch 12, which results in that the pixel unit 10 cannot normally display a black picture and affects the black inserting display of the display panel.
It should be noted that, in a frame of picture, the driving timing of the reset signal of the current stage shift register unit GOA and the driving timing of the current stage shift register unit GOA are both located in the first half frame of the current detection picture. The driving timings of the frame start signals of the two gate driving circuits 20 are set to differ by at least half a frame in the black insertion display mode, so that the driving timings of the gate driving circuits 20 used as the black insertion circuits are located in the second half of the current frame, that is, when the black insertion switch 12 in the pixel unit 10 is turned on, the reset switch 50 corresponding to the row of pixel units 10 is not turned on at the same time.

Wherein n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1.
The cascade control signal output by the h-th stage shift register unit GOA serves as a reset signal of the current stage shift register unit GOA, and specifically, the cascade control signal output by the n+h-th stage shift register unit GOA serves as a reset signal of the n-th stage shift register unit GOA. Wherein h is a natural number greater than or equal to 1. The relation between h and m is not limited, and is selected according to actual requirements.
In this embodiment, the cascade control signal output from the output terminal of the same last m stage shift register unit GOA is used as the reset signal of the current stage shift register unit GOA and as the control signal received by the reset switch 50 corresponding to the current stage shift register unit GOA.
It can be understood that the cascade control signal output from the output terminal of the n+m stage shift register unit GOA serves as a reset signal of the n stage shift register unit GOA and as a control signal received by the reset switch 50 corresponding to the n stage shift register unit GOA. I.e. h is equal to m.
