  • Publication number: 20170168359
    Abstract: The short-circuit protection circuit for a Gate Driver on Array (GOA) liquid crystal panel contains a power module, a first booster module, a feedback module, and a second booster module series-connected in the this order. A control module is electrically connected to the first booster, feedback, and second booster modules. The power module provides a power voltage. The control module provides a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal so as to control the first and second booster modules to transform the power voltage into driving voltage. The feedback module extracts a feedback current from a current flowing from the first to the second booster module and provides a feedback signal to the control module. When the feedback current exceeds a current threshold, the control module cuts off the PWM signal output so as to achieve short-circuit protection. A liquid crystal panel incorporating the above short-circuit protection circuit is also provided.
