     The present invention relates to a scan control line driving module and a display device including the scan control line driving module and, more particularly, to a scan control line driving module for an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and a display device including the scan control line driving module. 
     With the development of the display technology, the developing trends of display devices are larger size, higher resolution, narrower frame, and 3D display. 
     With regard to the narrow frame designs, the frame of a display device is mainly used to receive chips and circuits.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     With reference to  FIG. 1 , a scan control line driving module according to the present invention includes a timing sequence controller  60  and a plurality of scan control line driving units SU i  (where i is a positive integer) connected to each other in series. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 1, 2, and 4 , a first grade scan control line driving unit SU 1  includes a first timing sequence control end c 1  for receiving a first timing sequence control signal and a second timing sequence control end c 2  for receiving a second timing sequence control signal.

     The second grade scan control line driving unit SU 2  includes a first timing sequence control end c 1  for receiving the second timing sequence control signal and a second timing sequence control end c 2  for receiving the first timing sequence control signal. The second grade scan control line driving unit SU 2  outputs a second grade scan signal Sc 2  to the panel display module  40  and a third grade scan control line driving unit SU 3  under control by the first timing sequence control signal and the second timing sequence control signal. 
     The third grade scan control line driving unit SU 3  includes a first timing sequence control end c 1  for receiving the first timing sequence control signal and a second timing sequence control end c 2  for receiving the second timing sequence control signal. The third grade scan control line driving unit SU 3  outputs a third grade scan signal Sc 3  to the panel display module  40  and a fourth grade scan control line driving unit SU 4 . 
     The fourth grade scan control line driving unit SU 4  includes a first timing sequence control end c 1  for receiving the second timing sequence control signal and a second timing sequence control end c 2  for receiving the first timing sequence control signal. The fourth grade scan control line driving unit SU 4  outputs a fourth grade scan signal Sc 4  to the panel display module  40  and a fifth grade scan control line driving unit SU 5  under control by the first timing sequence control signal and the second timing sequence control signal. 
     Specifically, an odd-numbered grade scan control line driving unit SU j  (j is an odd number larger than zero) includes a first timing sequence control end c 1  for receiving the first timing sequence control signal and a second timing sequence control end c 2  for receiving the second timing sequence control signal. The odd-numbered grade scan control line driving unit SU j  outputs a j-grade scan signal Sc j  to the panel display module  40  and a j+1-grade scan control line driving unit SU j+1  under control by the first timing sequence control signal and the second timing sequence control signal. 
     An even-numbered grade scan control line driving unit SU k  (k is an even number larger than zero) includes a first timing sequence control end c 1  for receiving the second timing sequence control signal and a second timing sequence control end c 2  for receiving the first timing sequence control signal. The even-numbered grade scan control line driving unit SU k  outputs a k-grade scan signal Sc k  to the panel display module  40  and a k+1-grade scan control line driving unit SU k+1  under control by the first timing sequence control signal and the second timing sequence control signal. 
     In a preferred example of the present invention, the timing sequence controller  60  includes a first clock signal line ck 1  and a second clock signal line ck 2 . The first clock signal line ck 1  is connected to the first timing sequence control end c 1  of the odd-numbered grade scan control line driving unit SU j  and is connected to the second timing sequence control end c 2  of the even-numbered scan control line driving unit SU k . The timing sequence controller  60  provides the first timing sequence control signal to the scan control line driving unit SU i  through the first clock signal line ck 1 . The second clock signal line ck 2  is connected to the second timing sequence control end c 2  of the odd-numbered grade scan control line driving unit SU j  and is connected to the first timing sequence control end c 1  of the even-numbered scan control line driving unit SU k . The timing sequence controller  60  provides the second timing sequence control signal to the scan control line driving unit SU, through the second clock signal line ck 2 . 
     The first clock signal line ck 1  and the second clock signal line ck 2  respectively provide a first timing sequence control signal and a second timing sequence control signal to scan control line driving unit SU i  of each grade. The first and second clock signal lines ck 1  and ck 2  are square signals having an identical frequency and having a phase difference of 180°. 
     In the technical solution of the present invention, the scan control line driving unit SU i  includes only two control ends (the first timing sequence control end c 1  and the second timing sequence control end c 2 ). A scan control line driving module formed by the scan control line driving unit SU i  only requires the timing sequence controller  60  to provide two control signals through the first clock signal line ck 1  and the second clock signal line ck 2 . Such a design can reduce the complexity of the scan control line driving module, and the space for wires can be greatly reduced by reducing the control signals, permitting the display device to have a narrower frame.

As shown in  FIG. 3 , the scan control line driving unit SU i  includes a signal input end in, a first timing sequence control end c 1 , a second timing sequence control end c 2 , a signal output end out, and a scan control line driving circuit. The scan control line driving circuit includes a control module  10 , an output reset module  20 , and an output set module  30 . The scan control line driving circuit is controlled by the signals received by the first timing sequence control end c 1  and the second timing sequence control end c 2 . The scan control line driving circuit uses the signal input end in to receive the scan signal from the previous-grade scan control line driving unit SU i−1 . The received scan signal is processed by a delay processing, and the processed signal is outputted via the signal output end out.

A drain of the third transistor T 3  is connected to a second power Vss. A gate of the third transistor T 3  is connected to the first timing sequence control end c 1 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 3 , the output reset module  20  includes a fifth transistor T 5  having a source connected to the first power V DD . A gate of the fifth transistor T 5  is connected to the first reset signal end a. A drain of the fifth transistor T 5  is connected to a second reset signal end b. A source of a sixth transistor T 6  is connected to the first power V DD . A gate of the sixth transistor T 6  is connected to the first set signal end c. A drain of the sixth transistor T 6  is connected to the drain of the fifth transistor T 5 . A second capacitor C 2  has two ends respectively connected to a source and the drain of the sixth transistor T 6 . A source of a seventh transistor T 7  is connected to the first power V DD . A gate of the seventh transistor T 7  is connected to the drain of the sixth transistor T 6 . A drain of the seventh transistor T 7  is connected to the signal output end out. 
     As shown in  FIG. 3 , the output set module  30  includes an eighth transistor T 8  having a source connected to the signal output end out. A gate of the eighth transistor T 8  is connected to a drain of the ninth transistor T 9 . A drain of the eighth transistor T 8  is connected to the first timing sequence control end c 1 . A first capacitor C 1  has two ends respectively connected to the source and the gate of the eighth transistor T 8 . A gate of the ninth transistor T 9  is connected to a second power V SS . A source of the ninth transistor T 9  is connected to a drain of the tenth transistor T 10 . A gate of the tenth transistor T 10  is connected to the second power source V SS . A source of the tenth transistor T 10  is connected to the second reset signal end b and the first set signal end c. An eleventh transistor T 11  includes a source connected to the first set signal end c. A drain and a gate of the eleventh transistor T 11  are connected to the signal input end in. 
       FIG. 4  is a timing sequence of the scan control line driving module according to the present invention. The waveforms shown in  FIG. 4  includes four processes t 1 , t 2 , t 3 , and t 4 . During the four processes, the output signal of the signal output end out of the scan control line driving unit completes a cycle from a setting process to a resetting process. The relation between the input and output of the scan control line driving unit during the four processes will be analyzed with reference to the waveforms shown in  FIG. 4  and the circuitry shown in  FIG. 3 . 
     During the t 1  process, the signal of the signal input end in is at a low level, the signal of the signal output end out is at a high level, and the signal of the second timing sequence control end c 2  is at a low level. The low level of the signal input end in causes conduction of the eleventh transistor T 11 . The conduction of the eleventh transistor T 11  causes the output signal of the first set signal end c to turn into a low level, which means that the first set signal is in an active state. Furthermore, since the gates of the tenth transistor T 10  and the eleventh transistor T 11  are connected to the second power V SS , the tenth transistor T 10  and the eleventh transistor T 11  are always in a conductive state which causes the low level of the first set signal end c to be outputted to the gate of the eighth transistor T 8 . The conduction of the eighth transistor T 8  causes the signal of first timing sequence control end c 1  to be directly added to the signal output end out. At this time, the signal output end out outputs a high level (a rest state). Furthermore, the two ends of the first capacitor C 1  are charged during the t 1  process due to the voltage difference between the source and the gate of the eighth transistor T 8 . 
     As mentioned above, the output set module  30  outputs an active first set signal to the output reset module  20  during the t 1  process, and the low-level first set signal is added to the gate of the sixth transistor T 6  and causes conduction of the sixth transistor T 6 , such that the signal of the first reset signal end a is at a high level. The high level of the first reset signal end a causes the fifth transistor T 5  and the seventh transistor T 7  to be in an off state. Thus, the junction between the output reset module  20  and the signal output end out is in a highly resistive state. 
     During the t 2  process, the signal of the signal input end in turns into a high level, the signal of the first timing sequence control end c 1  turns into a low level, and the signal of the second timing sequence control end c 2  turns into a high level. The high level of the signal input end in causes non-conduction of the eleventh transistor T 11 . However the eighth transistor T 8  is still conductive during the t 2  process due to the charges stored in the first capacitor C 1  during the t 1  process. At this time, the signal outputted by the signal output end out turns into a low level (a set state); namely the signal of the signal output end out is set. Due to the charges at the two ends of the first capacitor C 1 , the signal of the first set signal end c is still in the active state. In this case, the state of the output reset module  20  is the same as the state in the t 1  process. 
     Furthermore, the state of the control module  10  changes during the t 2  process. Since the signal of the first timing sequence control end c 1  is at a low level, the third transistor T 3  is in a conductive state. The conduction of the third transistor T 3  causes direct connection between the gate of the second transistor T 2  and the second power V SS , leading to conduction of the second transistor T 2 . The conduction of the second transistor T 2  causes an end of the third capacitor C 3  to be connected to the first reset signal end a and causes the other end of the third capacitor C 3  to be connected to the second power V SS , leading to charging of the third capacitor C 3 . This charging process causes the drain voltage of the second transistor T 2  to be larger than gate voltage. Thus, the second transistor T 2  is always in the conductive state during the following process. 
     During the t 3  process, the signal of the signal input end in remains at the high level, the first timing sequence control end c 1  turns into a high level, and the second timing sequence control end c 2  turns into a low level. The control module  10  outputs an active first reset signal to the output reset module  20  during the t 3  process. At this time, since the second timing sequence control end c 2  is at a low level, the fourth transistor T 4  is conductive. Furthermore, the charges accumulated at the two ends of the third transistor T 3  during the t 2  process cause the second transistor T 2  to be in a conductive state. Due to conduction of the fourth transistor T 4  and the second transistor T 2 , the signal of the first reset signal end a is at a low level; namely, the control module  10  outputs an active first reset signal to the output reset module  20 . 
     After the output reset module  20  has received the first reset signal, the fifth transistor T 5  and the seventh transistor T 7  are in a conductive state, and the signal output end out is directly connected to the first power V DD . At this time, the signal of the signal output end out turns into a high level (reset). At the same time, the output reset module  20  outputs a second reset signal to the output set module  30  via the second reset signal end b. The second reset signal is active and at a high level. The active high-level second reset signal is added to the gate of the eighth transistor T 8  to make the eighth transistor T 8  to be in an off state. Furthermore, since the voltages at the two ends of the first capacitor C 1  are identical during the t 3  process, the charges stored in the first capacitor C 1  during the t 1  process are released during the t 3  process. At the same time, the low level of the first reset signal end a causes charging of the second capacitor C 2  during the t 3  process. 
     During the t 4  process, the signal of the signal input end in remains at the high level, the first timing sequence control end c 1  turns into a low level, and the second timing sequence control end c 2  turns into a high level. Since the signal of the first timing sequence control end c 1  is at a low level during the t 4  process, the third transistor T 3  is in a conductive state. The conduction of the third transistor T 3  causes the gate of the second transistor T 2  to be directly connected to the second power V SS , leading to conduction of the second transistor T 2 . At this time, the voltage of the first reset signal end a is decided by the second capacitor C 2  and the third capacitor C 3 . When the capacitances of the second capacitor C 2  and the third capacitor C 3  are selected to be in an appropriate ratio, the voltage of the first reset signal end a is still at the low level. The states of the output reset module  20  and the output set module  30  during the t 4  process are the same as those in the t 3  process. The signal output end out is still in the reset state (high level). 
     In view of the foregoing, the relation between the input and the output of the scan control line driving unit is that if the signal input end in is at a low level before arrival of the falling edge of the signal of the first timing sequence control end c 1 , the signal output end out also outputs a low level before arrival of the falling edge of the signal of the first timing sequence control end c 1  until arrival of the falling edge of the signal of the second timing sequence control end c 2 ; namely the low-level signal from the signal input end in is processed by a delay processing and is then outputted via the signal output end out. If the signal input end in remains at the high level, the signal of the signal output end out also remains at the high level. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1 , the scan control line driving module includes a plurality of scan signal output ends g i  (i is a serial number of the scan control line) respectively corresponding to the plurality of scan control line driving unit SU i . The signal output end out of scan control line driving unit SU i  of each grade is also connected to a corresponding one of the scan signal output ends g i .  FIG. 2  is a diagram illustrating a display device using the scan control line driving circuit according to the present invention. As can be seen from  FIG. 2 , the display device includes a scan control line driving module and a display panel  40 . The display panel  40  includes n scan control lines S 1 , S 2 , . . . S i  . . . S n  which are respectively connected to n signal output ends g i  of the scan control line driving module. 
     The scan control line driving unit SU i  includes only two control input ends (the first timing sequence control end c 1  and the second timing sequence control end c 2 ). A scan control line driving module formed by the scan control line driving units SU i  only requires the timing sequence controller  60  to provide two control signals through the first clock signal line ck 1  and the second clock signal line ck 2 . Such a design can reduce the complexity of the scan control line driving module, and the space for wires can be greatly reduced by reducing the control signals, permitting the display device to have a narrower frame.
