Here, the scan driving circuit 100 may be located in the frame region B or the display region a. The present disclosure is not limited in this regard.
The types of the substrate 200 include various types, and the arrangement may be selected according to actual needs.
Illustratively, the substrate 200 may be a rigid substrate. The rigid substrate may be, for example, a glass substrate, a PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate ) substrate, or the like.
Illustratively, the substrate 200 may be a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate may be, for example, a PET (Polyethylene terephthalate ) substrate, a PEN (Polyethylene naphthalate two formic acid glycol ester, polyethylene naphthalate) substrate, a PI (Polyimide) substrate, or the like. At this time, the display panel 1000 may be a flexible display panel.
Here, the scan driving circuit 100 may be, for example, a light emission control circuit or a gate driving circuit. The present disclosure is schematically illustrated by taking the scan driving circuit 100 as a gate driving circuit.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the display panel 1000 may further include: a plurality of sub-pixels P disposed at one side of the substrate 200 and located in the display area a. The plurality of sub-pixels P may be arranged in a plurality of rows along the first direction X and a plurality of columns along the second direction Y, for example. Each row of the sub-pixels P may include a plurality of sub-pixels P, and each column of the sub-pixels P may include a plurality of sub-pixels P.
Here, the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect each other. The included angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y can be selected and set according to actual needs. Illustratively, the angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y may be 85 °, 89 °, 90 °, or the like.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the display panel 1000 may further include: a plurality of gate lines GL and a plurality of data lines DL disposed at one side of the substrate 200 and located at the display area a. Wherein the plurality of gate lines GL extend along a first direction X, and the plurality of data lines DL extend along a second direction Y.
For example, the sub-pixels P arranged in one row in the first direction X may be referred to as the same row of sub-pixels P, and the sub-pixels P arranged in one column in the second direction Y may be referred to as the same column of sub-pixels P. The same row of subpixels P may be electrically connected to one gate line GL, and the same column of subpixels P may be electrically connected to one data line DL.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, each of the plurality of sub-pixels P may include a pixel driving circuit and a light emitting device electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit. The light emitting device may be an OLED.
For example, one gate line GL may be electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of sub-pixels P, and one data line DL may be electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same column of sub-pixels P.
The structure of the pixel driving circuit includes various types, and can be selected and set according to actual needs. For example, the structure of the pixel driving circuit may include a structure of "2T1C", "3T1C", "6T1C", "7T1C", "6T2C", or "7T2C", or the like. Where "T" is denoted as a transistor, the number preceding "T" is denoted as the number of transistors, "C" is denoted as a storage capacitor, and the number preceding "C" is denoted as the number of storage capacitors.
Here, during the use of the display panel 1000, the stability of the transistors and the light emitting devices in the pixel driving circuit may be reduced (e.g., the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is shifted), which affects the display effect of the display panel 1000, and thus, the sub-pixels P need to be compensated.
The manner of compensating the sub-pixel P may include various manners, and may be selected according to actual needs. For example, a pixel compensation circuit may be provided in the sub-pixel P to internally compensate the sub-pixel P using the pixel compensation circuit. For another example, the driving transistor or the light emitting device may be sensed through a transistor inside the sub-pixel P, and sensed data is transmitted to an external sensing circuit to calculate a driving voltage value to be compensated and perform feedback by using the external sensing circuit, thereby implementing external compensation of the sub-pixel P.
The present disclosure uses an external compensation method (sensing the driving transistor), and the pixel driving circuit uses a structure of "3T1C" as an example, and the structure and operation of the subpixel P are schematically described.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, the pixel driving circuit may include: a switching transistor T1, a driving transistor T2, a sensing transistor T3, and a storage capacitor Cst.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the control electrode of the switching transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal G1, the first electrode of the switching transistor T1 is electrically connected to the Data signal terminal Data, and the second electrode of the switching transistor T1 is electrically connected to the second node G. Wherein the switching transistor T1 is configured to transmit the Data signal received at the Data signal terminal Data to the second node G in response to the first scan signal received at the first scan signal terminal G1.
Here, the data signal may include, for example, a detection data signal, a display data signal, and a black insertion data signal. Wherein the detection data signal is used in the blanking period, the display data signal is used in the display period, and the black insertion data signal is used in the black insertion writing period. Regarding the black insertion writing phase, the display period, and the blanking period, reference may be made to the following descriptions in some embodiments, and details thereof will not be repeated here.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the control electrode of the driving transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second node G, the first electrode of the driving transistor T2 is electrically connected to the fourth voltage signal terminal ELVDD, and the second electrode of the driving transistor T2 is electrically connected to the third node S. Wherein the driving transistor T2 is configured to transmit the fourth voltage signal received at the fourth voltage signal terminal ELVDD to the third node S under the control of the voltage of the second node G.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, a first terminal of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the second node G, and a second terminal of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the third node S. The switching transistor T1 charges the storage capacitor Cst simultaneously during charging of the second node G.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the anode of the light emitting device is electrically connected to the third node S, and the cathode of the light emitting device is electrically connected to the fifth voltage signal terminal ELVSS. The light emitting device is configured to emit light under the mutual cooperation of the fourth voltage signal from the third node S and the fifth voltage signal transmitted from the fifth voltage signal terminal ELVSS.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the control electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second scan signal terminal G2, the first electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is electrically connected to the third node S, and the second electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is electrically connected to the sensing signal terminal Sense. Wherein the sense transistor T3 is configured to detect an electrical characteristic of the drive transistor T2 in response to the second scan signal received at the second scan signal terminal G2 to achieve external compensation. The electrical characteristics include, for example, a threshold voltage and/or carrier mobility of the driving transistor T2.
Here, the Sense signal terminal Sense may provide a reset signal for resetting the third node S or acquire a Sense signal for acquiring the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T2.
Based on the structure of the pixel driving circuits, as shown in fig. 2, a plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of sub-pixels P may be electrically connected to two gate lines GL (i.e., a first gate line and a second gate line). For example, each first scanning signal terminal G1 may be electrically connected to the first gate line and receive the first scanning signal transmitted by the first gate line; each second scan signal terminal G2 may be electrically connected to the second gate line, and receive the second scan signal transmitted by the second gate line.
It should be noted that one frame period may include, for example, a display period, a black insertion period, and a blanking period that are sequentially performed. In the display period, the sub shift register 10 may drive the corresponding sub pixel P to perform image display; in the black insertion period, the sub shift register 10 may drive the corresponding sub pixel P to display a black picture; in the blanking period, the sub shift register 10 may drive the corresponding sub pixel P for external compensation. Only the display period therein is schematically described below.
In the display period, as shown in fig. 5, the operation process of the sub-pixel P may include, for example, a reset phase P1, a data writing phase P2, and a light emitting phase P3.
In the reset phase P1, the level of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal G2 is high, and the Sense signal terminal Sense provides a reset signal (the level of the reset signal is low, for example). The sensing transistor T3 is turned on under the control of the second scan signal, receives a reset signal, and transmits the reset signal to the third node S to reset the third node S.
In the Data writing stage P2, the level of the first scan signal provided by the first scan signal terminal G1 is high, and the level of the display Data signal provided by the Data signal terminal Data is high. The switching transistor T1 is turned on under the control of the first scan signal, receives a display data signal, and transmits the display data signal to the second node G while charging the storage capacitor Cst.
In the light emitting stage P3, the level of the first scan signal provided by the first scan signal terminal G1 is low, the level of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal G2 is low, and the level of the fourth voltage signal provided by the fourth voltage signal terminal ELVDD is high. The switching transistor T1 is turned off under the control of the first scan signal, and the sensing transistor T3 is turned off under the control of the second scan signal. The storage capacitor Cst starts to discharge so that the voltage of the second node G is maintained at a high level. The driving transistor T2 is turned on under the control of the voltage of the second node G, receives a fourth voltage signal, and transmits the fourth voltage signal to the third node S, so that the light emitting device emits light under the interaction of the fourth voltage signal and the fifth voltage signal transmitted by the fifth voltage signal terminal ELVSS.
In some embodiments, the scan driving circuit 100 and the plurality of sub-pixels P are located on the same side of the substrate 200. The scan driving circuit 100 may include a plurality of shift registers 1 in cascade, and one shift register 1 may be electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in at least one row of sub-pixels P. Illustratively, one shift register 1 includes a plurality of sub-shift registers 10, each sub-shift register 10 being electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in a row of sub-pixels P.
It should be noted that, the first scan signal transmitted by the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal transmitted by the second scan signal terminal G2 are provided by the scan driving circuit 100. That is, each sub shift register 10 in the scan driving circuit 100 may be electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal G1 through a first gate line through which a first scan signal is transmitted to the first scan signal terminal G1, and electrically connected to the second scan signal terminal G2 through a second gate line through which a second scan signal is transmitted to the second scan signal terminal G2.
Of course, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of sub-pixels P may be electrically connected to the same gate line GL. In this case, the first scan signal and the second scan signal are the same. In the scan driving circuit 100, each sub-shift register 10 is electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal terminal G2 through the corresponding gate line GL, and transmits signals to the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal terminal G2 through the gate line GL.
In the related art, during the display of the display panel 1000, an image smear phenomenon occurs during the process of switching the dynamic image, that is, when the display panel 1000 switches from one frame to another frame, the viewer may feel the smear of the previous frame (also referred to as dynamic image smear), thereby affecting the image display effect.
Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a driving method of shift registers, as shown in fig. 7, each shift register 1 includes a plurality of sub-shift registers 10. Each of the sub-shift registers 10 is electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in one row of sub-pixels P (see fig. 2 and 3), and in conjunction with fig. 18 and 22, each of the sub-shift registers 10 corresponds to one row scanning period in one frame period, and each row scanning period includes a scanning phase P6 and a black insertion phase P7.
It should be noted that, the scanning stage P6 in one row scanning period corresponding to each sub-shift register 10 corresponds to the reset stage P1 and the data writing stage P2 electrically connected to the plurality of pixel driving circuits in one row of sub-pixels P; the descriptions of the reset phase P1 and the data writing phase P2 may be referred to above, and will not be repeated here. The black inserting stage P7 in a row scanning period corresponding to each sub-shift register 10 corresponds to a black inserting writing stage P4 electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in a row of sub-pixels P, and the relevant description of the black inserting writing stage P4 will be omitted herein.
In some embodiments, the plurality of line scan periods corresponding to the plurality of sub-shift registers 10 include at least M line scan period groups, each line scan period group includes N line scan periods, and the timings of the scan phases P6 of the N line scan periods are the same; m is greater than or equal to 1, N is greater than or equal to 2, and M and N are integers. In this case, in the shift register 1, each group of the line scanning periods can save at least the reference time difference of the times at which the two scanning phases start in the case where the scanning signals are output line by line for N-1 adjacent two line scanning periods. For example, each row scan period group may save the duration of the data writing phase P2 for N-1 sub-pixels P. In this way, the group of M line scan periods in the shift register 1 can save at least the duration of the data writing phase P2 of the m× (N-1) subpixel P during one frame period. Fig. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example in which one line scanning period group 20 includes two line scanning periods, and fig. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example in which two line scanning period groups 20 each include two line scanning periods.
The time when the black inserting stage P7 of the line scanning period starts is after the scanning stage P6 of the last line scanning period of the plurality of line scanning periods, and the duration of each black inserting stage P7 is smaller than or equal to the reference time difference of the time when two adjacent line scanning periods start under the condition that scanning signals are output line by line. For example, the duration of each black insertion stage P7 is less than or equal to the duration of the data writing stage P2 of the adjacent sub-pixel P. Further, the black insertion stage P7 of the plurality of line scanning periods includes at most m× (N-1) kinds of timings. That is, the black insertion stage P7 in the shift register 1 occupies at most the duration of the data writing stage P2 of the m× (N-1) subpixel P in one frame period.
As can be seen from the above, in the driving method of the shift register provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the timing of the scan phase P6 of at least two line scan periods is the same in one frame period, so that the idle time is saved, and the black insertion is performed by using the saved idle time. Therefore, in the driving method of the shift register provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, under the condition of a certain refresh frequency, the time of the black inserting stage P7 may be increased on the basis of not compressing the time of each scanning stage P6, that is, a black picture is inserted in the process that the sub-pixel P emits light to perform normal image display, so as to increase MPRT (Motion Picture Response Time, dynamic image response time), improve the phenomenon of dynamic image smear, and improve the image display effect.
In some embodiments, in each shift register 1, referring to fig. 18 and 20, the timings of the black insertion stage P7 of the plurality of line scanning periods are the same.
Illustratively, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, and the eight sub-shift registers 10 respectively correspond to eight line scanning periods in one frame period. As shown in fig. 18 and 20, eight line scanning periods include one line scanning period group, each line scanning period group includes two line scanning periods, and the timings of eight black insertion phases P7 of the eight line scanning periods are the same.
In other embodiments, referring to fig. 22, in each shift register 1, the black inserting stage P7 of the plurality of line scanning periods includes at least two timings, and the black inserting stage P7 of the relatively preceding line scanning period is earlier in time than the black inserting stage P7 of the relatively succeeding line scanning period.
Illustratively, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, and the eight sub-shift registers 10 respectively correspond to eight line scanning periods in one frame period. Wherein, as shown in fig. 22, eight line scanning periods include two line scanning period groups, each line scanning period group including two line scanning periods. The eight black inserting stages P7 of the eight line scanning periods include two timings, the timings of the black inserting stages P7 of the first four line scanning periods are the same, the timings of the black inserting stages P7 of the second four line scanning periods are the same, and the timings of the black inserting stages P7 of the first four line scanning periods are earlier than the timings of the black inserting stages P7 of the second four line scanning periods.
In still other embodiments, referring to fig. 24, the black inserting stage P7 of the plurality of line scan periods includes at least two timings, and the timings of the black inserting stage P7 of at least two line scan periods are the same.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 24, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, and the eight sub-shift registers 10 respectively correspond to eight line scanning periods in one frame period. Wherein the eight line scanning periods include four line scanning period groups, each line scanning period group including two line scanning periods; the eight black inserting stages P7 of the eight line scanning periods include four kinds of timings, and the timings of the black inserting stages P7 of each line scanning period group are the same.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a shift register 1 for performing the driving method of the shift register as described in any of the above embodiments. As shown in fig. 7 and 8, each shift register 1 includes a plurality of sub-shift registers 10. Each sub-shift register 10 is electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in a row of sub-pixels P (see fig. 2 and 3). The sub shift register 10 includes an input circuit 11 and an output circuit 12.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the Input circuit 11 is coupled to an Input signal terminal Input (shown in the drawings and abbreviated as Iput hereinafter) and a first node N1. Wherein the input circuit 11 is configured to transmit a scan input signal to the first node N1 in response to the scan input signal received at the input signal terminal Iput; and transmitting the black inserted input signal to the first node N1 in response to the black inserted input signal received at the input signal terminal Iput.
For example, in the case where the level of the input signal terminal Iput is high, the input circuit 11 may be turned on by the scan input signal or the black insertion input signal, and transmit the scan input signal or the black insertion input signal to the first node N1, and charge the first node N1 such that the voltage of the first node N1 increases.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scan input signal and the black insertion input signal are transmitted to the input circuit 11 at different times, respectively.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the Output circuit 12 is coupled to the first node N1, the first clock signal terminal CLKE, and the first Output signal terminal Output1 (which is abbreviated as "op ut 1" in the drawings and below). Wherein the output circuit 12 is configured to transmit the scan clock signal received at the first clock signal terminal CLKE to the first output signal terminal op ut1 in a case where the scan input signal is transmitted to the first node, so that the first output signal terminal op ut1 outputs the scan signal; and, in the case where the black insertion input signal is transmitted to the first node N1, the black insertion clock signal received at the first clock signal terminal CLKE is transmitted to the first output signal terminal Oput1 to cause the first output signal terminal Oput1 to output the black insertion signal.
Illustratively, in the case where the voltage of the first node N1 is at a high level, the output circuit 12 may be turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node N1, outputting the first clock signal received at the first clock signal terminal CLKE as a scan signal from the first output signal terminal Oput 1. And, in the case where the voltage of the first node N1 is at the high level, the output circuit 12 may be turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node N1, and output the first clock signal received at the first clock signal terminal CLKE as the black insertion signal from the first output signal terminal Oput 1.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scan signal and the black insertion signal are output from the first output signal terminal Oput1 at different times, respectively.
In this case, a plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of sub-pixels P are electrically connected to the same gate line GL. The first output signal terminal Oput1 of one sub-shift register 10 may be electrically connected to the first scanning signal terminal G1 and the second scanning signal terminal G2 of the plurality of pixel driving circuits in the corresponding row of sub-pixels P through the gate line GL, and the scanning signal and the black insertion signal outputted from the first output signal terminal Oput1 may also be transmitted to the first scanning signal terminal G1 and the second scanning signal terminal G2 of the plurality of pixel driving circuits through the gate line GL.
In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7, the shift register 1 includes M sub-shift register groups 20, M is equal to or greater than 1, and M is an integer. Each sub-shift register group 20 includes N adjacent sub-shift registers 10, N.gtoreq.2, where N is an integer. Wherein the N sub shift registers 10 are configured to receive scan clock signals having the same timing to output scan signals having the same timing (see fig. 18).
In addition, the time for starting outputting the black signal is after the pixel driving circuit of the row of sub-pixels P connected to the last sub-shift register 10 of the X sub-shift registers 10 completes the writing of the data signal, so as to avoid the interference between the black signal and the scan signal.
The beneficial effects of the shift register provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure are the same as those of the driving method of the shift register provided by the above technical solution, and are not described herein.
As shown in fig. 3, the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal terminal G2 of the plurality of pixel driving circuits in the same row of sub-pixels P are electrically connected to the same gate line GL.
As described above, the pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel P, as shown in fig. 6, for example, one frame period may include a display period, a black insertion period, and a blanking period, which are sequentially performed. The black insertion period includes a black insertion writing phase P4 and a black insertion holding phase P5.
In the display period, the voltage of the first node N1 is first raised by the input circuit 11. In response to the scan input signal received at the input signal terminal Iput, the input circuit 11 is turned on and charges the first node N1, and the output circuit 12 may be turned on under control of the voltage of the first node N1, outputting the first clock signal as a scan signal from the first output signal terminal op ut 1.
In the reset phase P1 and the data writing phase P2, the input circuit 11 is turned off, the voltage of the first node N1 is maintained at a high level, the output circuit 12 is maintained in a turned-on state by the voltage of the first node N1, and the level of the first clock signal output from the first output signal terminal Oput1 is at a high level. In the light emitting stage P3, the voltage of the first node N1 is at a low level, the output circuit 12 is turned off, the level of the signal output from the first output signal terminal Oput1 is at a low level, and the driving transistor T2 is turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node G to drive the light emitting device to emit light.
At a certain time during the light emitting process of the light emitting device (i.e. the time when the light emitting phase P3 and the black inserting writing phase P4 alternate in fig. 6), after the input circuit 11 is turned on and charges the first node N1 in response to the black inserting input signal received at the input signal terminal Iput, the output circuit 12 may be turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node N1, and output the first clock signal as the black inserting signal from the first output signal terminal Oput 1.
At this time, the black insertion signal is transmitted to the first scan signal terminal G1 and the second scan signal terminal G2 of the corresponding pixel driving circuit. The level of the black insertion signal is high, the switching transistor T1 is turned on under the control of the black insertion signal, and a data signal of low level or lower (may also be referred to as a black insertion data signal) is transmitted to the second node G; the sensing transistor T3 is turned on under the control of the black insertion signal, and transmits a low-level reset signal to the third node S. At this time Vgs (i.e., the voltage difference between the second node G and the third node S) is smaller than Vth (i.e., the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T2), the sub-pixel P stops emitting light and switches to a black picture. In the black insertion holding period t5, the sub-pixel P is continuously displayed as a black screen.
That is, the present disclosure can insert a black picture in the process of emitting light from the sub-pixel P to perform normal image display, so that MPRT (Motion Picture Response Time, dynamic image response time) can be increased without increasing refresh frequency, a phenomenon of dynamic image smear can be improved, and an image display effect can be improved.
In addition, by controlling the writing time of the black signal and the black data signal, the ratio of the time of normal light emission of the sub-pixel P to the time of keeping the sub-pixel P as a black picture can be controlled, thus being convenient for adjusting MPRT, further being beneficial to improving the phenomenon of dynamic image smear and improving the image display effect.
In the case where the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, the eight line scanning periods include one line scanning period group, each line scanning period group includes two line scanning periods, and the timings of eight black insertion phases P7 of the eight line scanning periods are the same, as shown in fig. 7 and 18, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, the eight sub-shift registers 10 include one sub-shift register group 20, each sub-shift register group 20 includes two adjacent sub-shift registers 10, and the timings of eight black insertion signals outputted by the eight sub-shift registers 10 are the same.
In the case where the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, eight black inserting stages P7 of eight line scanning periods include two timings, timings of black inserting stages P7 of the first four line scanning periods are the same, timings of black inserting stages P7 of the last four line scanning periods are the same, referring to fig. 7 and 22, the shift register 1 includes eight sub-shift registers 10, the eight sub-shift registers 10 include two sub-shift register groups 20, each sub-shift register group 20 includes two adjacent sub-shift registers 10, and eight black inserting signals output by the eight sub-shift registers 10 include two timings. Wherein, the eight sub-shift registers 10 have the same timing sequence of the four black insertion signals output by the first four sub-shift registers 10; the timings of the four black insertion signals outputted from the last four sub-shift registers 10 are the same, and the time of the black insertion signals outputted from the first four sub-shift registers 10 is earlier than the time of the black insertion signals outputted from the last four sub-shift registers 10.

The eight sub-shift registers 10, each sub-shift register group 20 includes two adjacent sub-shift registers 10 outputting two black insertion signals with the same timing, and the time of outputting the black insertion signal is earlier than the time of outputting the black insertion signal by the relatively rear sub-shift register group 20.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the output circuit 12 is further coupled to the second clock signal terminal CLKD and the cascade signal terminal CR. The output circuit 12 is further configured to transmit the second clock signal received at the second clock signal terminal CLKD to the cascade signal terminal CR in a case where the scan input signal is transmitted to the first node N1, so that the cascade signal terminal CR outputs the scan cascade signal.
Illustratively, in the case where the voltage of the first node N1 is at a high level, the output circuit 12 may be turned on under the control of the voltage of the first node N1, outputting the second clock signal received at the second clock signal terminal CLKD as a scan cascade signal from the cascade signal terminal CR.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the above-described input circuit 11 includes a scan input circuit 111 and a black insertion input circuit 112.
As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the scan input circuit 111 is coupled to the scan input signal terminal GI and the first node N1. Wherein the scan input circuit 111 is configured to transmit a scan input signal to the first node N1 in response to the scan input signal received at the scan input signal terminal GI.
For example, in the case that the level of the scan input signal terminal GI is high, the scan input circuit 11 may be turned on by the scan input signal, and transmit the scan input signal to the first node N1, and charge the first node N1, so that the voltage of the first node N1 increases.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scan input circuit 111 and the black insertion input circuit 112 are turned on at different times, respectively.
In the shift register 1, in the case where 1+.L, and L is an integer, the scan input signal terminal GI of the first L stage sub-shift register 10 is configured to be coupled with the scan initialization signal line STV2 (see FIG. 15); the scan input signal terminal GI of the remaining stage of the sub-shift register 10 is coupled to the cascade signal terminal CR of the previous sub-shift register 10, so that the scan cascade signal outputted from each sub-shift register 10 can be used as the scan input signal of the next sub-shift register 10, thereby realizing cascade display.
Accordingly, in the shift register 1, in the case where 1+.s, and S is an integer, the black insertion input signal terminal BI of the previous S-stage sub-shift register 10 is configured to be coupled with the black insertion initialization signal line STV1 (see fig. 15); the black insertion input signal terminal BI of the remaining stage of the sub-shift register 10 is coupled to the first node N1 of the previous one of the sub-shift registers 10, so that the high level received at the first node N1 of each of the sub-shift registers 10 can be used as the black insertion input signal of the next one of the sub-shift registers 10.
It should be noted that, the cascade signal output at the cascade signal terminal CR is used as the black insertion input signal of a certain sub-shift register 10; alternatively, the high level received at the first node N1 may be used as the black insertion input signal of a certain sub shift register 10, and the disclosure is not limited herein.

Wherein S is more than or equal to 1, and S is an integer. It should be noted that the black insertion input signal terminal BI of the previous S stage sub-shift register 10 may be coupled to a black insertion initialization signal.
Illustratively, in the scan driving circuit 100, the black insertion input signal terminal BI of the first eight sub-shift registers 10 is coupled to the black insertion initialization signal line STV1, and the black insertion input signal terminals BI of the remaining sub-shift registers 10 are respectively coupled to the first node N1 of the first eighth sub-shift register 10 to implement cascade black insertion.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a driving method of a scan driving circuit, which is applied to the scan driving circuit 100 described in any of the above embodiments.
In the scan driving circuit 100, in conjunction with fig. 18 and 24, each frame period includes a plurality of line scan periods, each line scan period including a scan stage P6 and a black insertion stage P7. Each sub shift register 10 of each shift register 1 of the scan driving circuit 100 (see fig. 14) is used to perform one line scan period.
In the scan phase, the sub shift register 10 receives a scan input signal and a scan clock signal, and outputs a scan signal. At this time, the Data signal terminal Data of the pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel P electrically connected to the sub-shift register 10 receives the display Data signal, so that the driving transistor T2 is turned on to control the row of sub-pixels P electrically connected to the sub-shift register 10 to emit light.
Note that, the scan clock signal is a first clock signal output at the first clock signal terminal CLKE of the output circuit 12 of the sub-shift register 10 when the input circuit 11 of the sub-shift register 10 receives the scan input signal.
In the black insertion stage P7, the sub shift register 10 receives a black insertion input signal and a black insertion clock signal, and outputs a black insertion signal. At this time, the Data signal terminal Data of the pixel driving circuit in the sub-pixel P electrically connected to the sub-shift register 10 receives the black insertion Data signal, so that the driving transistor T2 is turned off to control the row of sub-pixels P electrically connected to the sub-shift register 10 to stop emitting light. Wherein, the voltage of the black insertion data signal is smaller than the voltage of the display data signal.
Note that the black insertion clock signal is a first clock signal output at the first clock signal terminal CLKE of the output circuit 12 of the sub shift register 10 when the input circuit 11 of the sub shift register 10 receives the black insertion input signal.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 22 and 24, the black insertion stage P7 of the line scanning period performed by any one of the sub-shift registers 10 is subsequent to the scanning stage P6 of the line scanning period performed by the last sub-shift register 10 of the plurality of shift registers 1 in cascade.
That is, the black insertion signal outputted from any one shift register 1 is after the last sub shift register 10 of the plurality of shift registers 1 in cascade outputs the scan signal. That is, after all the sub-shift registers 10 output the scanning signal so that the sub-pixels electrically connected to the sub-shift registers 10 emit light, all the sub-shift registers 10 are sequentially black inserted.
In this case, in the input circuit 11 of the sub shift register 10, the scan input signal and the black insertion input signal are transmitted at different times, respectively, and the scan input signal and the black insertion input signal may be multiplexed by one circuit. For example, the scan input signal terminal GI of the scan input circuit 111 can also receive a black insertion input signal, so that black insertion can be realized without providing the black insertion input circuit 112, the structure of the scan driving circuit 100 is simplified, and the yield of the scan driving circuit 100 and the display panel 1000, the display device 2000, and the like applied thereto is improved.
In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 18 and 20, the black inserting stage P7 of the line scanning period performed by each sub-shift register 10 of the shift register 1 is after the scanning stage P6 of the line scanning period performed by the plurality of sub-shift registers 10 of the shift register 1 and before the writing of the data signal of the one row sub-pixel P corresponding to the line scanning period performed by one sub-shift register 10 of the other shift registers 1, that is, before the data writing stage P2 of fig. 5.
That is, the sub-shift registers 10 of the shift registers 1 include the black insertion input circuit 112, and the black insertion signal outputted from each shift register 1 is before the data signal writing of the row of the sub-pixels P corresponding to one sub-shift register 10 of the other shift registers 1 after the last sub-shift register 10 of the shift registers 1 outputs the scan signal, i.e., before the data writing stage P2 in fig. 5.
Illustratively, except for the last shift register 1, the black insertion signal output by each shift register 1 is after the last sub-shift register 10 in the shift register 1 outputs the scan signal and before the data signal of the row of the sub-pixels P corresponding to the first sub-shift register 10 in the next shift register 1 is written.
It should be noted that, the black insertion signal output by the last shift register 1 may be after the last sub-shift register 10 in the last shift register 1 outputs the scan signal and before the data signal of the row of the sub-pixels P corresponding to the first sub-shift register 10 in the first shift register 1 is written.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a driving method of the shift register 1, as shown in fig. 9, 10 and 16, the shift register 1 (see fig. 15) includes a plurality of sub-shift registers 10, each sub-shift register 10 corresponding to one row scanning period in one frame period, the row scanning period including a scanning period P6 and a black insertion period P7.
The time for starting the black inserting stage P7 is the same as the time for starting the writing of the data signal for one row of the sub-pixels P driven by the set row scanning period, and the ratio of the duration of the black inserting stage P7 to the duration of the writing of the data signal for one row of the sub-pixels P driven by the set row scanning period is less than or equal to 1/2. Setting the line scanning period as the line scanning period corresponding to one sub-shift register 10 of the other shift registers 1; for example, the line scanning period is set as the next-stage line scanning period except for the last shift register 1; the set line scanning period corresponding to the last shift register 1 may be the line scanning period corresponding to the first shift register 1.
That is, each shift register 1 in the scan driving circuit 100 performs black insertion using the first half period of the data signal writing of the connected row of sub-pixels P, that is, the first half period of the data writing stage P2 in fig. 5, by using one sub-shift register 10 in the other shift registers 1; that is, the Data signal terminal Data of the pixel driving circuit in the electrically connected row of the sub-shift register 10 of the black insertion stage P7 in the on-going row scanning period is written at most, and the Data signal terminal Data of the pixel driving circuit in the electrically connected row of the sub-shift register 10 of the scanning stage P6 in the on-going row scanning period is the first half of the display Data signal received by the Data signal terminal Data of the pixel driving circuit in the electrically connected row of the sub-pixel P. The voltage of the display Data signal transmitted by the Data signal terminal Data gradually rises from low to high, and Vgs is still smaller than Vth when the voltage of the first node G is the peak voltage corresponding to the first half of the display Data signal. In this way, the voltage of the first node G in the pixel driving circuit in the electrically connected row of the sub-pixels P in the sub-shift register 10 in the black insertion stage P7 is pulled down, so that Vgs is smaller than Vth, and the driving transistor T2 is turned off, so that the sub-pixels P stop emitting light, and switch to black.
That is, in the driving method of the shift register 1 provided in the present disclosure, under the condition of a certain refresh frequency, the black data writing time can be increased on the basis of the time of not compressing the data writing, and a black picture is inserted in the process that the sub-pixel P emits light to perform normal image display, so that MPRT (Motion Picture Response Time, dynamic image response time) is increased, the phenomenon of dynamic image smear is improved, and the image display effect is improved.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a shift register 1 for performing the driving method of the shift register described in the above embodiments. Referring to fig. 7 and 9, the shift register 1 includes a plurality of sub-shift registers 10, and each sub-shift register 10 is electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits in a row of sub-pixels P (see fig. 2). The sub shift register 10 includes a scan input circuit 111, a black insertion input circuit 112, and an output circuit 12.
It should be noted that, the scan input circuit 111, the black insertion input circuit 112, and the output circuit 12 may refer to the descriptions in some embodiments described above, and will not be described herein.
Here, referring to fig. 16, the time at which the black signal starts to be output is the same as the time at which the row of the sub-pixels P to which the setting sub-shift register 10 is connected starts to write the data signal, that is, the same as the time at which the data writing stage P2 in fig. 5 starts. And, the ratio of the duration of the black insertion signal to the duration of the writing of the data signal of the one row of the sub-pixels P connected to the setting sub-shift register 10 is less than or equal to 1/2, that is, the ratio of the duration of the data writing stage P2 (see fig. 5) of the one row of the sub-pixels P connected to the setting sub-shift register 10 is less than or equal to 1/2. The setting sub-shift register 10 is one sub-shift register 10 among the other shift registers 1. For example, the sub-shift register 10 is set as the first sub-shift register 10 in the next stage shift register 1 except for the last shift register 1; the setting sub-shift register 10 corresponding to the last shift register 1 may be the first sub-shift register 10 in the first shift register 1.
