RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application is a National Phase of International Application Number PCT/CN2017/113530, filed Nov. 29, 2017, and claims the priority of China Application No. 201711148866.7, filed Nov. 17, 2017.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present invention relates to a display technology field, and more particularly to a gate driver on array (GOA) circuit.

BACKGROUND

At present, a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, which functions as a display part of an electronic device, have been widely used in various electronic products, and a gate driver on array (GOA) is a driving method in which a gate line scanning driver circuit is made on an array substrate by utilizing a thin film transistor (TFT) LCD display array process. Therefore, the driving method of scanning the gate lines row-by-row is realized, and it has advantages of low manufacturing cost and narrow-border panel design and is therefore used by various types of displays.

Display panels based on low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) technology may be catalogued into NMOS type, PMOS type and CMOS type that includes both of NMOS type and PMOS type according to the TFT type applied in the panels. Similarly, GOA circuits are catalogued into NMOS circuits, PMOS circuits and CMOS circuits. In comparison with the CMOS circuit, because the NMOS circuit saves a photomask and an operation of P-doping (i.e. phosphorus ion doping), it has great benefits of improving manufacture yield and reducing cost. Therefore, a stable NMOS circuit needs to be developed for the industries.

Nowadays developments of large-scale LCD display panels have become a main trend in the industries. However, the GOA circuit load increases with the increase of the number of gate driving lines and the panel size, and thus the size of each TFT in the GOA circuit and the panel border width increase, which is not beneficial of realizing narrow-border LCD display panels, and the power consumption of the GOA module also increases due to the increasing load.

It is understood that, in the abovementioned description, in one example, the TFTs are all N-channel TFTs, and the drain and the source of each of the TFTs is interchangeable.

It is understood that the GOA circuit of the present invention may not only apply a forward scanning status of the LCD panel (i.e., the voltage level of the first scan control signal U2D is high and the voltage level of the second scan control signal D2U is low) but also apply a backward scanning status of the LCD panel (i.e., the voltage level of the first scan control signal U2D is low, and the voltage level of the second scan control signal D2U is high), so as to realize sequentially turning on the TFTs in the pixel units row-by-row.

FIG. 2 shows a time sequential diagram of various signals of the first stage GOA circuit repeat unit in FIG. 1.

As can be seen from FIG. 2, when a forward scanning process is performed (i.e., the voltage level of the first scan control signal U2D is high and the voltage level of the second scan control signal D2U is low), and simultaneously both of n and m in the circuit diagram are assigned to be 1. At this time, the signal which is connected to the gate of the TFT T10 is the circuit start signal STV, when the voltage level of the circuit start signal STV is high, the TFT T10 is conducted, and the voltage level of Q(n) is pulled up, when the voltage level of CK1 (i.e. CKm) is high, the TFT T31 is conducted, and G1 (i.e. Gn) is outputted at a high voltage level; when the voltage level of CK3 (i.e. CKm+2) is high, the TFT T34 is conducted, and G3 (i.e. Gn+2) is outputted at a high voltage level;

Similarly, when the voltage level of G3 (i.e. Gn+2) is high, the TFT T20 is conducted, and the voltage level of Q′(n) is pulled up, when the voltage level of CK5 (i.e. CKm+4) is high, the TFT T41 is conducted, and G5 (i.e. Gn+4) is outputted at a high voltage level; when the voltage level of CK7 (i.e. CKm+6) is high, the TFT T44 is conducted, and G7 (i.e. Gn+6) is outputted at a high voltage level.

Simultaneously, when the voltage level of CK5 is high, the TFTs T11, T13 and T16 are conducted, thereby pulling down Q(n) to be at a low voltage level; when the voltage level of CK1 becomes high again, the TFTs T21, T23 and T26 are conducted, thereby pulling down the voltage level of Q′(n) to be at a low voltage level.

Therefore, sequentially turning on of G1 (i.e. Gn), G3 (i.e. Gn+2), G5 (i.e. Gn+4), G7 (i.e. Gn+6) row-by-row can be realized.

It is understood that the principle of the other stage GOA circuit repeat units are approximately similar to that mentioned above and thus is not described in detail herein.

In summary, the present invention provides a GOA circuit design, in which four neighboring stages of GOA units in a traditional GOA circuit constitute a GOA circuit repeat unit, and in the GOA circuit repeat unit, the first two stages of GOA units commonly use a control node and commonly use a pull-up control module, a pull-down module and a pull-down holding module, and the last two stages of GOA units commonly uses another control node and commonly use a pull-up control module, a pull-down module and a pull-down holding module, such that the number of TFTs in the GOA circuit can be reduced, and the wiring layout design can be simplified, which benefits reducing the GOA circuit design space, so as to realize narrow-border design, and concurrently the power consumption of the GOA circuit can be reduced because of the simplified GOA circuit;

Further, filtering capacitors are added in the first pull-up control module and the second pull-up control module, which is capable of making the scan signals of the first pull-up control module and the second pull-up control module more smooth, and thus the effect of high-frequency coupling in the active area (AA) of the display panel on the GOA circuit can be reduced, and the stability of the GOA circuit can be enhanced.
