  • Publication number: 20180174501
    Abstract: The present disclosure proposes an overcurrent orotection circuit of the GOA circuit. A voltage signal from a control signal source of the GOA circuit is converted into a current signal, and then the current signal is amplified. Subsequently, a product of the amplified current signal and a load resistor is compared with a threshold voltage. If the product is larger than the threshold voltage, a controller controls a switch to output a low voltage level signal to ensure that the GOA circuit is at overcurrent protected state. In this way, the panel is prevented from being damaged due to overabundant currents. Besides, the comparison of the amplified current signal is good for decreasing detection difficulties, enhancing precision of a measurement, and lowering risk of operation mistakes. Moreover, 2D and 3D modes in overcurrent protection through different load circuits improve the effect of protection.
