The first input terminal 101 and the second input terminal 102 included in the even-number-th stage receive the second clock signal CLK2 and the first clock signal CLK1, respectively.
Here, the first clock signal CLK1 and the second clock signal CLK2 have the same cycle and are sequentially supplied so that phases of them do not overlap with each other.

FIG. 3 is a view showing an example of the stage shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 3, the first stage is shown for convenience of description.
Referring to FIG. 3, the stage 201 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a first output unit 210, a second output unit 212, and a control unit 214.
The first output unit 210 supplies light emitting control signals to the second output terminal 106 corresponding to voltages applied to a first node N1 and a second node N2. To this end, the first output unit 210 includes a first transistor M1, a second transistor M2, and a first capacitor C1.
The first transistor M1 is connected between a first power supply VDD and the second output terminal 106. The first transistor M1 is turned on or off corresponding to a voltage applied to the second node N2. When the first transistor M1 is turned on, voltage of the first power supply VDD is supplied to the second output terminal 106, and the voltage of the first power supply VDD is supplied to the light emitting control line E1 as the light emitting control signal.
The second transistor M2 is connected between the second output terminal 106 and a second power supply VSS with a voltage that is lower than that of the first power supply VDD. The second transistor M2 is turned on or off corresponding to a voltage applied to the first node N1. When the second transistor M2 is turned on, voltage of the second power supply VSS is supplied to the second output terminal 106. In this case, the supply of the light emitting control signal to the light emitting control line E1 is stopped.
The first capacitor C1 is connected between a first node N1 and the second output terminal 106. The first capacitor C1 is charged with a voltage applied to the first node N1.
The second output unit 212 supplies the scan signal to the first output terminal 105 corresponding to voltages applied to the first node N1 and the second node N2 and the second clock signal CLK2 supplied to the second input terminal 102 (or the first clock signal).

The third transistor M3 is connected between the first power supply VDD and the first output terminal 105. The third transistor M3 is turned on or off corresponding to a voltage applied to the first node N1. When the third transistor M3 is turned on, voltage of the first power supply VDD is supplied to the first output terminal 105. In this case, the scan signal is not supplied to the scan line S1.
The fourth transistor M4 is connected between the first output terminal 105 and the second input terminal 102. The fourth transistor M4 is turned on or off corresponding to a voltage applied to the second node N2. When the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, the first output terminal 105 and the second input terminal 102 are electrically connected to each other. Here, the second clock signal CLK2 supplied to the second input terminal 102 is supplied to the scan line S1 as the scan signal.
The second capacitor C2 is connected between a second node N2 and the first output terminal 105. The second capacitor C2 is charged with voltage applied to the second node N2.
The control unit 214 controls voltages at the first node N1 and the second node N2 corresponding to signals supplied to the first input terminal 101, the third input terminal 103, and the fourth input terminal 104. To this end, the control unit 214 includes fifth through eighth transistors M5-M8.
The fifth transistor M5 (the fifth transistor M5 is configured of a plurality of transistors M5-1, M5-2 connected in series with each other so that leakage current flowing from the first power supply VDD to the first node N1 is minimized) is connected between the first power supply VDD and the first node N1. The fifth transistor M5 is turned on or off corresponding to the signal is supplied to the fourth input terminal 104. As an example, when the start signal (the scan signal of the previous stage) is supplied to the fourth input terminal 104, the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, thereby supplying voltage of the first power supply VDD to the first node N1. Although the fifth transistor M5 is configured of two transistors M5-1 and M5-2 connected in series with each other for convenience of description in FIG. 3, the present invention is not limited thereto.
The sixth transistor M6 is connected between the first node N1 and the second power supply VSS. The sixth transistor M6 is turned on or off corresponding to the signal supplied to the third input terminal 103. As an example, when the first control signal CS1 is supplied to the third input terminal 103, the sixth transistor M6 is turned on, thereby supplying voltage of the second power supply VSS to the first node N1.
The seventh transistor M7 (the seventh transistor M7 consists of a plurality of transistors M7-1, M7-2 connected in series with each other so that leakage current flowing from the first power supply VDD to the second node N2 is minimized) is connected between the first power supply VDD and the second node N2. The seventh transistor M7 is turned on or off corresponding to a voltage applied to the first node N1. When the seventh transistor M7 is turned on, voltage of the first power supply VDD is supplied to the second node N2. Although the seventh transistor M7 consists of two transistors M7-1 and M7-2 connected in series with each other for convenience of description in FIG. 3, the present invention is not limited thereto.
The eighth transistor M8 is connected between the fourth input terminal 104 and the second node N2. When the first clock signal CLK1 is supplied to the first input terminal 101, the eighth transistor M8 is turned on, thereby electrically connecting the fourth input terminal 104 to the second node N2.
FIG. 4 is a waveform diagram showing a method of driving a stage.
Referring to FIG. 4, firstly, the first clock signal CLK1 and the start signal FLM are supplied in a first period T1. The start signal FLM is supplied to the fourth input terminal 104 such that the fifth transistor M5 is turned on. When the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, voltage of the first power supply VDD (high voltage) is supplied to the first node N1. When voltage of the first power is supply VDD is supplied to the first node N1, transistors M2, M3, and M7 connected to the first node N1 are set to a turn-off state.
The clock signal CLK1 is supplied to the first input terminal 101 such that the eighth transistor M8 is turned on. When the eighth transistor M8 is turned on, the start signal FLM (low voltage) is supplied to the second node N2. When the start signal is supplied to the second node N2, the first transistor M1 and the fourth transistor M4 are turned on. When the first transistor M1 is turned on, voltage of the first power supply VDD, that is the light emitting control signal is supplied to the second output terminal 106. When the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, the first output terminal 105 and the second input terminal 102 are electrically connected to each other. Here, since the second clock signal CLK2 is not supplied to the second input terminal 102, the scan signal is not supplied to the first output terminal 105 (that is, high voltage is maintained).
In the second period T2, the second clock signal CLK2 is supplied to the second input terminal 102. At this time, since the fourth transistor M4 is set to a turn-on state by voltage charged in the second capacitor C2, the second clock signal CLK2 supplied to the second input terminal 102 is supplied to the first output terminal 105. The second clock signal CLK2 supplied to the first output terminal 105 is supplied to the scan line S1 as the scan signal.
In a third period T3, the supply of the start signal FLM is stopped and also the first clock signal CLK1 is supplied. When the supply of the start signal FLM is stopped, the fourth input terminal 104 is set to high voltage, such that the fifth transistor M5 is turned on. When the first clock signal CLK1 is supplied, the eighth transistor M8 is turned on. When the eighth transistor M8 is turned on, the fourth input terminal 104 and the second node N2 are connected to each other, such that the second node N2 is set to high voltage. When the second node N2 is set to high voltage, the fourth transistor M4 and the first transistor M1 are turned on. In this case, the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are set to a turn-off state, such that the second output terminal 106 is set to a floating state. At this time, the second output terminal 106 maintains voltage of the first power supply VDD, that is, voltage of the light emitting control signal by a parasitic capacitor and the first capacitor C1 connected to the light emitting control line E1.
In the fourth period T4, the first control signal CS1 is supplied to the third input terminal 103. When the first control signal CS1 is supplied to the third input terminal 103, the sixth transistor M6 is turned on. When the sixth transistor M6 is turned on, voltage of the second power supply VSS is supplied to the first node N1. When the voltage of the second power supply VSS is supplied to the first node N1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the seventh transistor M7 are turned on. When the second transistor M2 is turned on, voltage of the second power supply VSS is supplied to the first output terminal 106, such that the supply of the light emitting control signal to the light emitting control line E1 is stopped. When the third transistor M3 is turned on, voltage of the first power supply VDD is supplied to the second output terminal 105. When the seventh transistor M7 is turned on, voltage of the first power supply VDD is supplied to the second node N2. When voltage of the first power supply VDD is supplied to the second node N2, the fourth transistor M4 and the first transistor M1 are turned off. Therefore, during a fourth period, the scan signal (i.e., CLK2) is not supplied to the first output terminal 105 (that is, first output terminal 105 is high voltage), and the light emitting control signal (i.e., VDD) is not supplied to the second output terminal 106 (that is, second output terminal 106 is low voltage).
Meanwhile, the scan signal output during the second period T2, which is the start signal of the second stage 202, is supplied simultaneously with the second clock signal CLK2. Here, during the second period T2, the light emitting control signal is supplied to the second light emitting control line E2. In addition, after the fourth period T4 the light emitting control signal supplied to the second light emitting control line E2 is maintained until the period during which the second control signal CS2 is supplied. In addition, during the third period T3, the second state 202 supplies the first clock signal CLK1 to the second scan line S2 as the scan signal.
According to the present invention, while the above-mentioned processes are being repeated, the scan/light emitting driving unit 10 scan signals are supplied sequentially to the scan lines S1 to Sn and the light emitting control signals are supplied sequentially to the light emitting control lines E1 to En.
FIG. 5 is a view showing another example of the stage shown in FIG. 2.
In FIG. 5, the same reference numerals will be used to designate the same components as those of FIG. 3. Therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Referring to FIG. 5, a stage according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention further includes a bi-directional driving unit 216.
The bi-directional driving unit 216 controls directions of the scan signal and the light emitting control signal such that each of them may be supplied in a first direction (forward direction) or a second direction (backward direction). To this end, the bi-directional driving unit 216 includes a ninth transistor M9 and a tenth transistor M10.
The ninth transistor M9 is connected between a third node N3 (which is a common node of the eighth transistor M8 and the fifth transistor M5) and the fourth input terminal 104. The ninth transistor M9 is turned on when a first bi-directional control signal Bi1 is supplied. Here, the fourth input terminal 104 receives the scan signal (or start signal FLM) of the previous stage.
The tenth transistor M10 is connected between the third node N3 and the seventh input terminal 107. The tenth transistor M10 is turned on when a second bi-directional control signal Bi2 is supplied. Here, the seventh input terminal 107 receives the scan signal S2 (or start signal) of the next stage.
Schematically describing an operation process, the ninth transistor M9 is turned on when the first bi-directional control signal Bi1 is supplied. When the ninth transistor M9 is turned on, each of the stages is driven corresponding to the scan signal of the previous stage, such that the scan signal and the light emitting control signal are sequentially supplied in the first direction.
In addition, when the second bi-directional control signal Bi2 is supplied, the tenth transistor M10 is turned on. When the tenth transistor M10 is turned on, each of the stages is driven corresponding to the scan signal of the previous stage, such that the scan signal and the light emitting control signal are sequentially supplied in the second direction. Since other driving processes have been described in connection with FIGS. 3 and 4, a detailed description will be omitted.
As set forth above, the stage circuit according to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention and the organic light emitting display device using the same may create scan signals and light emitting control signals using a stage, thereby making it possible to minimize the mounting area of the driving unit. Particularly, in the case in which the driving unit according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, is applied to a portable device, the dead space is minimized, thereby making it possible to minimize thickness and width of the panel.
