20160086560 | Semiconductor Device, Driver Circuit, and Display Device - To provide a semiconductor device including a narrowed bezel obtained by designing a gate driver circuit. A gate driver of a display device includes a shift register unit, a demultiplexer circuit, and n signal lines. By connecting the n signal lines for transmitting clock signals to one stage of the shift register unit, (n−3) output signals can be output. The larger n becomes, the smaller the rate of signal lines for transmitting clock signals which do not contribute to output becomes; accordingly, the area of the shift register unit part is small compared to a conventional structure in which one stage of a shift register unit outputs one output signal. Therefore, the gate driver circuit can have a narrow bezel. | 03-24-2016 |
20160118009 | DISPLAY PANEL, GATE DRIVER AND CONTROL METHOD - A display panel includes gate lines and a gate driver. The gate driver includes series coupled driving stages, in which an N-th driving stage of the series-coupled driving stages includes a driving unit and an input control unit. The driving unit transmits a first clock signal according to a control voltage level of a control node, so as to output a gate-driving signal. The input control unit transmits the gate-driving signal outputted from an (N−1)-th driving stage to the control nodes, so as to adjust the control voltage level to one of a first voltage level and a second voltage level. A predetermined time interval is present between a rising edge of the first clock signal and a falling edge of the second clock signal. During the predetermined time interval, the control voltage level is pulled to the first voltage level by the input control unit. | 04-28-2016 |
