Description
本發明是有關於一種驅動裝置,且特別是有關於一種用於顯示裝置的閘極驅動電路。 The present invention relates to a driving device, and in particular to a gate driving circuit for a display device.
現行的閘極驅動電路中,為實現抗雜訊的技術效果,各個閘極驅動單元會分別包括抗雜訊電路。抗雜訊電路會對對應的閘極驅動單元進行抗雜訊操作。然而,為實現全時段的抗雜訊操作,抗雜訊操作的執行期間會非常長。這使得抗雜訊電路中的雜訊抑制元件會發生劣化。如果雜訊抑制電路包括薄膜電晶體(Thin-Film Transistor,TFT),薄膜電晶體的門檻電壓將會發生明顯的偏移,從而降低抗雜訊操作的效果。由此可知,如何使雜訊抑制電路獲得充份的休息以穩定抗雜訊操作的效果,是本領域技術人員的研究重點之一。 In the existing gate drive circuit, in order to achieve the technical effect of anti-noise, each gate drive unit will include an anti-noise circuit. The anti-noise circuit will perform anti-noise operation on the corresponding gate drive unit. However, in order to achieve full-time anti-noise operation, the execution period of the anti-noise operation will be very long. This causes the noise suppression element in the anti-noise circuit to deteriorate. If the noise suppression circuit includes a thin-film transistor (TFT), the threshold voltage of the thin-film transistor will be significantly offset, thereby reducing the effect of the anti-noise operation. From this, we can see that how to allow the noise suppression circuit to get enough rest to stabilize the effect of anti-noise operation is one of the research focuses of technicians in this field.
本發明提供一種用於顯示裝置的閘極驅動電路。閘極驅 動電路包括多個閘極驅動單元。閘極驅動單元能夠使閘極驅動單元中的雜訊抑制電路獲得充份的休息以穩定抗雜訊操作的效果。 The present invention provides a gate drive circuit for a display device. The gate drive circuit includes a plurality of gate drive units. The gate drive unit can allow the noise suppression circuit in the gate drive unit to obtain sufficient rest to stabilize the effect of anti-noise operation.
本發明的閘極驅動電路用於顯示裝置。閘極驅動電路包括多個閘極驅動單元。所述多個閘極驅動單元中的第n級閘極驅動單元包括抬升電路、輸出電路、下拉電路以及抗雜訊電路。抬升電路耦接於偏壓節點。抬升電路反應於第(n-a)級閘極驅動訊號以抬升位於偏壓節點的偏壓值。輸出電路耦接於偏壓節點。輸出電路反應於對應的時脈訊號以及位於偏壓節點的偏壓值來提供第n級閘極驅動訊號。下拉電路耦接於偏壓節點。下拉電路反應於第(n+a)級閘極驅動訊號以下拉位於偏壓節點的偏壓值。抗雜訊電路包括雜訊抑制電路。雜訊抑制電路耦接於偏壓節點。雜訊抑制電路抑制位於偏壓節點的雜訊。在顯示裝置的顯示期間,抗雜訊電路反應於偏壓節點的高偏壓值來停用雜訊抑制電路。在顯示裝置的消隱期間,抗雜訊電路反應於閘極驅動電路的重置訊號的高電壓值來停用雜訊抑制電路。 The gate drive circuit of the present invention is used for a display device. The gate drive circuit includes a plurality of gate drive units. The nth gate drive unit among the plurality of gate drive units includes a lifting circuit, an output circuit, a pull-down circuit and an anti-noise circuit. The lifting circuit is coupled to a bias node. The lifting circuit reacts to the (n-a)th gate drive signal to lift the bias value at the bias node. The output circuit is coupled to the bias node. The output circuit reacts to the corresponding clock signal and the bias value at the bias node to provide the nth gate drive signal. The pull-down circuit is coupled to the bias node. The pull-down circuit is responsive to the (n+a)th gate drive signal to pull down the bias value at the bias node. The anti-noise circuit includes a noise suppression circuit. The noise suppression circuit is coupled to the bias node. The noise suppression circuit suppresses noise at the bias node. During the display period of the display device, the anti-noise circuit is responsive to the high bias value of the bias node to disable the noise suppression circuit. During the blanking period of the display device, the anti-noise circuit is responsive to the high voltage value of the reset signal of the gate drive circuit to disable the noise suppression circuit.
基於上述,在顯示期間,抗雜訊電路反應於偏壓節點的高偏壓值來停用雜訊抑制電路。此外,在消隱期間,抗雜訊電路反應於閘極驅動電路的重置訊號的高電壓值來停用雜訊抑制電路。雜訊抑制電路能夠在消隱期間中休息。如此一來,雜訊抑制電路的劣化的狀況能夠被減緩。雜訊抑制電路能夠提供穩定的抗雜訊操作。 Based on the above, during the display period, the anti-noise circuit responds to the high bias value of the bias node to disable the noise suppression circuit. In addition, during the blanking period, the anti-noise circuit responds to the high voltage value of the reset signal of the gate drive circuit to disable the noise suppression circuit. The noise suppression circuit can rest during the blanking period. In this way, the deterioration of the noise suppression circuit can be alleviated. The noise suppression circuit can provide stable anti-noise operation.

請同時參考圖1以及圖2,圖1是依據本發明一實施例所繪示的顯示裝置的示意圖。圖2是依據本發明一實施例所繪示的閘極驅動單元的示意圖。在本實施例中,顯示裝置10包括顯示陣列DA以及閘極驅動電路100。閘極驅動電路100包括閘極驅動單元GU(1)~GU(m)。閘極驅動單元GU(1)~GU(m)分別提供具有不同時序的閘極驅動訊號G(1)~G(m)。舉例來說,閘極驅動單元GU(1)將閘極驅動訊號G(1)(或稱為,第1級閘極驅動訊號)提供至顯示陣列DA中的第一行像素。閘極驅動單元GU(2)將閘極驅動訊號
G(2)(或稱為,第2級閘極驅動訊號)提供至顯示陣列DA中的第二行像素。閘極驅動單元GU(n)將閘極驅動訊號G(n)(或稱為,第n級閘極驅動訊號)提供至顯示陣列DA中的第n行像素,依此類推。“n”以及“m”分別是正整數。此外,“n”小於“m”。
Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 simultaneously. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a gate drive unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the
在本實施例中,以閘極驅動單元GU(n)為例,閘極驅動單元GU(n)包括抬升電路110、輸出電路120、下拉電路130以及抗雜訊電路140。抬升電路110耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。抬升電路110反應於閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)(或稱為,第(n-a)級閘極驅動訊號)以抬升位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值。輸出電路耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。輸出電路120反應於對應的時脈訊號CLK(n)以及位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值來提供閘極驅動訊號G(n)。下拉電路130耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。下拉電路130反應於閘極驅動訊號G(n+a)(或稱為,第(n+a)級閘極驅動訊號)以下拉位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值。“a”是正整數。在本實施例中,閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)、G(n+a)分別由閘極驅動單元GU(n)以外的不同閘極驅動單元來提供。舉例來說,“n”等於“5”,“a”等於“4”。因此,閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)(或稱,閘極驅動訊號G(1))由閘極驅動單元GU(1)來產生。閘極驅動訊號G(n+a)(或稱,閘極驅動訊號G(9))由閘極驅動單元GU(9)來產生。
In this embodiment, taking the gate drive unit GU(n) as an example, the gate drive unit GU(n) includes a
在本實施例中,抗雜訊電路140包括雜訊抑制電路141。雜訊抑制電路141耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。雜訊抑制電路141抑制位於偏壓節點A(n)的雜訊。在顯示裝置10的顯示期間,抗雜訊電路140反應於偏壓節點A(n)的高偏壓值來停用雜訊抑制電路141。
此外,在顯示裝置10的消隱(blanking)期間,抗雜訊電路140反應於閘極驅動電路100的重置訊號RST的高電壓值來停用雜訊抑制電路141。
In this embodiment, the
在此值得一提的是,抗雜訊電路140在顯示期間反應於偏壓節點A(n)的高偏壓值來停用雜訊抑制電路141以外,還在消隱期間停用雜訊抑制電路141。雜訊抑制電路141能夠在消隱期間中休息。如此一來,雜訊抑制電路141的劣化的狀況能夠被減緩。雜訊抑制電路141能夠提供穩定的抗雜訊操作。閘極驅動單元G(n)的信賴性能夠被提高。
It is worth mentioning here that the
此外,在顯示期間,抗雜訊電路140反應於偏壓節點A(n)的低偏壓值來致能雜訊抑制電路141。換言之,在顯示期間,當偏壓節點A(n)具有低偏壓值,雜訊抑制電路141執行抗雜訊操作。
In addition, during the display period, the
在本實施例中,抬升電路110耦接於系統高電壓VDDF。當閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)具有脈波時,抬升電路110利用系統高電壓VDDF來對偏壓節點A(n)進行充電,從而將位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值抬升至高偏壓值。
In this embodiment, the
在本實施例中,輸出電路120包括輸出電晶體MO以及電容器CC。輸出電晶體MO的第一端用以接收時脈訊號CLK(n)。輸出電晶體MO的第二端作為閘極驅動單元GU(n)的輸出端。輸出電晶體MO的控制端耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。電容器CC耦接於輸出電晶體MO的第二端以及輸出電晶體MO的控制端之間。在本實施例中,當位於偏壓節點A(n)的電壓值為高偏壓值時,輸出
電晶體MO被導通。因此,輸出電路120會將時脈訊號CLK(n)作為閘極驅動訊號G(n)。換言之,閘極驅動單元GU(n)會經由輸出電晶體MO的第二端提供閘極驅動訊號G(n)。此時,當時脈訊號CLK(n)為高電壓準位時,輸出電路120會透過電容器CC的電容耦合來進一步抬升位於偏壓節點A(n)的高偏壓值,以確保輸出電晶體MO的導通。
In this embodiment, the
在本實施例中,輸出電晶體MO可以是由N型電晶體來實施。舉例來說,輸出電晶體MO可以是N型薄膜電晶體(Thin-Film Transistor,TFT)。 In this embodiment, the output transistor MO can be implemented by an N-type transistor. For example, the output transistor MO can be an N-type thin film transistor (TFT).
在本實施例中,下拉電路130耦接於系統低電壓VDDR。當閘極驅動訊號G(n+a)具有脈波時,下拉電路130利用系統低電壓VDDR來對偏壓節點A(n)進行放電,從而將位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值下拉至低偏壓值。
In this embodiment, the pull-
請同時參考圖1以及圖3,圖3是依據本發明一實施例所繪示的閘極驅動單元的電路圖。在本實施例中,閘極驅動單元GU(n)包括抬升電路110、輸出電路120、下拉電路130以及抗雜訊電路140。抬升電路110包括電晶體M1。電晶體M1的第一端耦接於系統高電壓VDDF。電晶體M1的第二端耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。電晶體M1的控制端接收閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)。在本實施例中,當閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)為低電壓準位時,電晶體M1被斷開。因此,抬升電路110不會對偏壓節點A(n)進行充電。在另一方面,當閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)為高電壓準位時,電晶體M1被導通。抬升
電路110會對偏壓節點A(n)進行充電。因此,位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值會被抬升至高偏壓值。因此,高偏壓值會接近系統高電壓VDDF的電壓值(例如15伏特,本發明並不以此為限)。
Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 at the same time. FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of a gate drive unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the gate drive unit GU(n) includes a
在本實施例中,下拉電路130包括電晶體M2。電晶體M2的第一端耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。電晶體M2的第二端耦接於系統低電壓VDDR。電晶體M2的控制端耦接於閘極驅動訊號G(n+a)。在本實施例中,當閘極驅動訊號G(n+a)為低電壓準位時,電晶體M2被斷開。因此,下拉電路130不會對偏壓節點A(n)進行放電。在另一方面,當閘極驅動訊號G(n+a)為高電壓準位時,電晶體M2被導通。下拉電路130會對偏壓節點A(n)進行放電。因此,位於偏壓節點A(n)的電壓值會被下拉到低偏壓值。因此,低偏壓值會接近系統低電壓VDDR的電壓值(例如-12伏特,本發明並不以此為限)。
In the present embodiment, the pull-
在本實施例中,電晶體M1、M2可以是由N型電晶體來實施。舉例來說,電晶體M1、M2可以是N型TFT。 In this embodiment, transistors M1 and M2 may be implemented by N-type transistors. For example, transistors M1 and M2 may be N-type TFTs.
在本實施例中,輸出電路120的實施方式已經在圖1以及圖2的實施例中清楚說明,故不在此重述。
In this embodiment, the implementation of the
在本實施例中,抗雜訊電路140包括雜訊抑制電路141以及控制電路142。控制電路142耦接於雜訊抑制電路141以及偏壓節點A(n)。控制電路142接收重置訊號RST以及反相重置訊號RSTb。控制電路142依據位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值、重置訊號RST以及反相重置訊號RSTb來控制雜訊抑制電路141。
In this embodiment, the
具體來說明重置訊號RST以及反相重置訊號RSTb的實施方式。請同時參考圖4,圖4是依據本發明一實施例所繪示的重置訊號以及反相重置訊號的時序圖。在本實施例中,反相重置訊號RSTb是重置訊號RST的互補訊號。幀期間TF(n)包括顯示期間TD以及消隱期間TB。幀期間TF(n+1)也包括顯示期間TD以及消隱期間TB。在消隱期間TB,重置訊號RST具有高電壓值。反相重置訊號RSTb則具有低電壓值。此外,在顯示期間TD,重置訊號RST具有低電壓值。反相重置訊號RSTb則具有高電壓值。 The implementation of the reset signal RST and the inverted reset signal RSTb is specifically described. Please refer to FIG. 4 at the same time, which is a timing diagram of the reset signal and the inverted reset signal according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the inverted reset signal RSTb is a complementary signal of the reset signal RST. The frame period TF(n) includes the display period TD and the blanking period TB. The frame period TF(n+1) also includes the display period TD and the blanking period TB. During the blanking period TB, the reset signal RST has a high voltage value. The inverted reset signal RSTb has a low voltage value. In addition, during the display period TD, the reset signal RST has a low voltage value. The inverted reset signal RSTb has a high voltage value.
反相重置訊號RSTb可以是重置訊號RST的反相訊號。舉例來說,顯示裝置10或閘極驅動電路100可對重置訊號RST進行反相以產生反相重置訊號RSTb。另舉例來說,控制電路142可對所接收到的重置訊號RST進行反相以產生反相重置訊號RSTb。因此,控制電路142可減少用以接收外部的反相重置訊號RSTb的接收端。
The inverted reset signal RSTb may be an inverted signal of the reset signal RST. For example, the
請回到圖1以及圖3的實施例,在本實施例中,控制電路142透過控制節點B(n)耦接至雜訊抑制電路141。控制電路142依據位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值、重置訊號RST以及反相重置訊號RSTb來調整位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值,從而控制雜訊抑制電路141。控制電路142包括控制電晶體MC1、MC2、MC3。控制電晶體MC1的第一端以及控制電晶體MC1的控制端用以接收反相重置訊號RSTb。控制電晶體MC1的第二端耦接於雜訊抑制電路141。進一步來說,控制電晶體MC1的第二端透過控制節點B(n)
耦接至雜訊抑制電路141。控制電晶體MC2的第一端耦接於控制電晶體MC1的第二端。控制電晶體MC2的第二端耦接於參考低電壓VSS。參考低電壓VSS的電壓值例如是-12伏特(本發明並不以此為限)。控制電晶體MC2的控制端耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。控制電晶體MC3的第一端耦接於控制電晶體MC1的第二端。控制電晶體MC3的第二端耦接於參考低電壓VSS。控制電晶體MC3的控制端用以接收重置訊號RST。
Please return to the embodiment of FIG. 1 and FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the
在本實施例中,雜訊抑制電路141包括雜訊抑制電晶體MN1。雜訊抑制電晶體MN1的第一端耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。雜訊抑制電晶體MN1的第二端耦接於參考低電壓VSS。雜訊抑制電晶體MN1的控制端耦接於控制電路142。當位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值是高偏壓值時,雜訊抑制電晶體MN1被導通。雜訊抑制電晶體MN1下拉位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值至低電壓值,從而抑制可能發生於偏壓節點A(n)的雜訊。因此,輸出電晶體MO並不會因為位於偏壓節點A(n)的雜訊而發生非預期的導通。
In the present embodiment, the
在另一方面,當位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值是低偏壓值時,雜訊抑制電晶體MN1被斷開。雜訊抑制電晶體MN1被停用。因此,當位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值是低偏壓值時,雜訊抑制電晶體MN1進入休息狀態。 On the other hand, when the bias value at the control node B(n) is a low bias value, the noise suppression transistor MN1 is disconnected. The noise suppression transistor MN1 is disabled. Therefore, when the bias value at the control node B(n) is a low bias value, the noise suppression transistor MN1 enters a rest state.
在本實施例中,雜訊抑制電路141還包括雜訊抑制電晶體MN2。雜訊抑制電晶體MN2的第一端耦接於閘極驅動單元GU(n)的輸出端。雜訊抑制電晶體MN2的第二端耦接於參考低電壓VSS。
雜訊抑制電晶體MN2的控制端耦接於控制電路142。當位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值是高偏壓值時,雜訊抑制電晶體MN1被導通。雜訊抑制電晶體MN2下拉位於閘極驅動單元GU(n)的輸出端的電壓值至低電壓值,從而抑制可能發生於閘極驅動單元GU(n)的輸出端的雜訊。因此,閘極驅動單元GU(n)並不會因為位於閘極驅動單元GU(n)的輸出端的電壓值而提供異常的閘極驅動訊號G(n)。
In this embodiment, the
在另一方面,當位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值是低偏壓值時,雜訊抑制電晶體MN2被斷開。雜訊抑制電晶體MN2被停用。因此,當位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值是低偏壓值時,雜訊抑制電晶體MN2進入休息狀態。 On the other hand, when the bias value at the control node B(n) is a low bias value, the noise suppression transistor MN2 is disconnected. The noise suppression transistor MN2 is disabled. Therefore, when the bias value at the control node B(n) is a low bias value, the noise suppression transistor MN2 enters a rest state.
在本實施例中,在抗雜訊電路140中,控制電晶體MC1、MC2、MC3以及雜訊抑制電晶體MN1、MN2可以是由N型電晶體來實施。舉例來說,控制電晶體MC1、MC2、MC以及雜訊抑制電晶體MN1、MN2可以是N型TFT。
In this embodiment, in the
在本實施例中,閘極驅動單元GU(n)還包括重置電路150。重置電路150在消隱期間利用重置訊號RST的高電壓值來重置位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值。重置電路150包括重置電晶體MR。重置電晶體MR的第一端耦接於偏壓節點A(n)。重置電晶體MR的第二端耦接於參考低電壓VSS。重置電晶體MR的控制端接收重置訊號RST。在顯示期間,重置訊號RST具有低電壓值。因此,重置電晶體MR被斷開。在消隱期間,重置訊號RST具有高電壓值。重置電晶體MR被導通以下拉位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值,
從而重置位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值。在本實施例中,重置電晶體MR可以是由N型電晶體來實施。舉例來說,重置電晶體MR可以是N型TFT。
In the present embodiment, the gate drive unit GU(n) further includes a
應注意的是,抗雜訊電路140僅包括5個電晶體(也就是,電晶體MC1、MC2、MC3以及雜訊抑制電晶體MN1、MN2)。因此,抗雜訊電路140的布局面積能夠被縮小。閘極驅動電路100的布局面積也能夠被縮小。閘極驅動電路100被設置於顯示裝置10的邊框區域(非顯示區)。因此,顯示裝置10的邊框區域的面積有能夠進一步被縮小。
It should be noted that the
在一些實施例中,雜訊抑制電晶體MN2可能被省略。 In some embodiments, the noise suppression transistor MN2 may be omitted.
請同時參考圖1、圖3以及圖5,圖5是依據本發明一實施例所繪示的訊號時序圖。在本實施例中,本實施例的閘極驅動電路100適用於8個時脈訊號CLK1~CLK8。“n”等於“5”,“a”等於“4”。在時間點tp1之前,顯示裝置10處於消隱期間。在消隱期間,重置訊號RST具有高電壓值。反相重置訊號RSTb則具有低電壓值。因此,重置電晶體MR被導通以下拉位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值。位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值被重置為低偏壓值。控制電晶體MC1反應於反相重置訊號RSTb的低電壓值而被斷開。控制電晶體MC2反應於位於偏壓節點A(n)的低偏壓值而被斷開。此外,控制電晶體MC3反應於重置訊號RST的高電壓值而被導通。因此,在消隱期間,位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值是低偏壓值。換言之,控制電路142在消隱期間利用重置訊號RST的高電壓值來將
位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值下拉至低偏壓值。在消隱期間,雜訊抑制電晶體MN1、MN2都被斷開。因此,雜訊抑制電晶體MN1、MN2能夠在消隱期間中休息。
Please refer to Figures 1, 3 and 5 at the same time. Figure 5 is a signal timing diagram drawn according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the
在時間點tp1,顯示裝置10處於顯示期間,重置訊號RST具有低電壓值。反相重置訊號RSTb則具有高電壓值。控制電晶體MC1反應於反相重置訊號RSTb的高電壓值而被導通。控制電晶體MC2反應於位於偏壓節點A(n)的低偏壓值而被斷開。此外,控制電晶體MC3反應於重置訊號RST的低電壓值而被斷開。因此,控制電路142利用反相重置訊號RSTb的高電壓值來將位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值抬升至高偏壓值。雜訊抑制電晶體MN1在時間點tp1與時間點tp2之間被導通以抑制位於偏壓節點A(n)的雜訊。雜訊抑制電晶體MN2在時間點tp1與時間點tp2之間也被導通以抑制位於閘極驅動單元GU(n)的輸出端的雜訊。
At time point tp1, the
在時間點tp2與時間點tp3之間,時脈訊號CLK1具有第一正脈波。在時間點tp2與時間點tp3之間,閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)(或稱,閘極驅動訊號G(1))是基於時脈訊號CLK1的第一正脈波來產生。在時間點tp2與時間點tp3之間,閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)具有正脈波。因此,在時間點tp2,抬升電路110反應於閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)的正脈波以抬升位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值。在時間點tp2,位於偏壓節點A(n)的偏壓值為高偏壓值。輸出電晶體MO反應於位於偏壓節點A(n)的高偏壓值而被導通。閘極驅動訊號G(n)(或稱,閘極驅動訊號G(5))是基於時脈訊號CLK5而被產生。
Between time point tp2 and time point tp3, the clock signal CLK1 has a first positive pulse. Between time point tp2 and time point tp3, the gate drive signal G(n-a) (or gate drive signal G(1)) is generated based on the first positive pulse of the clock signal CLK1. Between time point tp2 and time point tp3, the gate drive signal G(n-a) has a positive pulse. Therefore, at time point tp2, the
在時間點tp2開始,控制電晶體MC2反應於位於偏壓節點A(n)的高偏壓值而被導通。在本實施例中,控制電晶體MC1具有第一通道寬長比。控制電晶體MC2具有第二通道寬長比。應注意的是,第二通道寬長比大於第一通道寬長比。因此,當控制電晶體MC1、MC2兩者都被導通的情況下,控制電晶體MC2對控制節點B(n)的偏壓值的下拉速度快於控制電晶體MC1對控制節點B(n)的偏壓值的抬升速度。換言之,控制電路142反應於位於偏壓節點A(n)的高偏壓值而下拉位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值。
Starting at time point tp2, control transistor MC2 is turned on in response to the high bias value at bias node A(n). In this embodiment, control transistor MC1 has a first channel width ratio. Control transistor MC2 has a second channel width ratio. It should be noted that the second channel width ratio is greater than the first channel width ratio. Therefore, when both control transistors MC1 and MC2 are turned on, the control transistor MC2 pulls down the bias value of control node B(n) faster than the control transistor MC1 raises the bias value of control node B(n). In other words,
在時間點tp3,閘極驅動訊號G(n-a)具有低電壓值。因此,偏壓節點A(n)處於浮接(floating)狀態。輸出電晶體MO持續被導通。 At time point tp3, the gate drive signal G(n-a) has a low voltage value. Therefore, the bias node A(n) is in a floating state. The output transistor MO continues to be turned on.
在時間點tp4與時間點tp5之間,時脈訊號CLK5(即,時脈訊號CLKn)具有正脈波。基於電容器CC的電容耦合,輸出電路120利用時脈訊號CLK5的正脈波來進一步抬升位於偏壓節點A(n)的高偏壓值,以確保輸出電晶體MO的導通。
Between time point tp4 and time point tp5, the clock signal CLK5 (i.e., the clock signal CLKn) has a positive pulse. Based on the capacitive coupling of the capacitor CC, the
閘極驅動訊號G(n+a)(或稱,閘極驅動訊號G(9))的正脈波是基於時脈訊號CLK1的第二正脈波來產生。在時間點tp6,時脈訊號CLK1開始具有第二正脈波。因此,在時間點tp6,下拉電路130反應於閘極驅動訊號G(n+a)的正脈波以將位於偏壓節點A(n)的高偏壓值下拉至低偏壓值。因此,控制電路142利用位於偏壓節點A(n)的低偏壓值來將位於控制節點B(n)的偏壓值抬升至高偏壓值。雜訊抑制電晶體MN1在時間點tp6被導通以開始抑制位
於偏壓節點A(n)的雜訊。雜訊抑制電晶體MN2在時間點tp6也被導通以開始抑制位於閘極驅動單元GU(n)的輸出端的雜訊。
The positive pulse of the gate drive signal G(n+a) (or, the gate drive signal G(9)) is generated based on the second positive pulse of the clock signal CLK1. At time point tp6, the clock signal CLK1 begins to have the second positive pulse. Therefore, at time point tp6, the pull-
綜上所述,在顯示裝置的顯示期間,抗雜訊電路反應於偏壓節點的高偏壓值來停用雜訊抑制電路。此外,在顯示裝置的消隱期間,抗雜訊電路還反應於閘極驅動電路的重置訊號的高電壓值來停用雜訊抑制電路。雜訊抑制電路能夠在消隱期間中休息。如此一來,雜訊抑制電路的劣化的狀況能夠被減緩。雜訊抑制電路能夠提供穩定的抗雜訊操作。因此,閘極驅動單元的信賴性能夠被提高。 In summary, during the display period of the display device, the anti-noise circuit responds to the high bias value of the bias node to disable the noise suppression circuit. In addition, during the blanking period of the display device, the anti-noise circuit also responds to the high voltage value of the reset signal of the gate drive circuit to disable the noise suppression circuit. The noise suppression circuit can rest during the blanking period. In this way, the deterioration of the noise suppression circuit can be reduced. The noise suppression circuit can provide stable anti-noise operation. Therefore, the reliability of the gate drive unit can be improved.
