[0044] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0045] Figure 1 A circuit diagram of a gate drive circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 A circuit diagram of a shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the gate driving circuit includes a plurality of cascaded shift registers 100. The shift register 100 includes a first input unit 110, a second input unit 120, a first output unit 130, a second output unit 140, a first reset unit 150 and a shut-off unit 160. The output end of the first input unit 110 and the control end of the first output unit 130 are connected to a first node Q1. The output end of the first input unit 110 is coupled to the first node Q1, and the control end of the first output unit 130 is coupled to the first node Q1. The output end of the second input unit 120 and the control end of the second output unit 140 are connected to a third node QB.
[0046] The first reset unit 150 is used to write a turn-off voltage to the first node Q1, and the turn-off voltage is a voltage for controlling the first output unit 130 to be turned off. The turn-off voltage can also be a voltage for controlling the second output unit 140 to be turned off. The first reset unit 150 includes a first reset transistor T7, and the gate of the first reset transistor T7 is connected to the first clock signal terminal CK1 or the third clock signal terminal CK3. The first reset transistor T7 is turned on or off under the control of the first clock signal terminal CK1. Alternatively, the first reset transistor T7 is turned on or off under the control of the third clock signal terminal CK3. Among them, the first clock signal terminal CK1 and the third clock signal terminal CK3 provide clock signals. The first electrode of the first reset transistor T7 is connected to the first node Q1.
[0047] The control end of the shutoff unit 160 is connected to the first node Q1, and the first end of the shutoff unit 160 is connected to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7. The shutoff unit 160 is used to write a turn-on voltage into the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7 when the shutoff unit 160 is turned on at the first node Q1, and the turn-on voltage is a voltage for controlling the first output unit 130 to be turned on. The turn-on voltage can also be a voltage for controlling the second output unit 140 to be turned on.
[0048] In the gate drive circuit provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a shutoff unit 160 is provided, and the control end of the shutoff unit 160 is connected to the first node Q1. When the voltage of the first node Q1 is the on-voltage, the shutoff unit 160 is turned on, and the on-voltage is written to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7. The first electrode of the first reset transistor T7 and the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7 are both on-voltages. The gate of the first reset transistor T7 is the off-voltage, and the on-voltage applied to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7 turns off the first reset transistor T7 more thoroughly, reduces the leakage through the first reset transistor T7, and reduces the leakage of the circuit branch where the first node Q1 and the first reset unit 150 are located. Among them, leakage refers to the leakage current in the off state, or the voltage change caused by leakage.
[0049] Exemplarily, the gate driving circuit includes a plurality of thin film transistors, at least one of which is an oxide transistor. The semiconductor layer of the oxide transistor includes a metal oxide, wherein the metal oxide may include, for example, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO).
[0050] Exemplarily, the thin film transistor includes an N-type transistor. The gate of the N-type transistor is turned on under the control of a positive voltage (including a high voltage), and the gate of the N-type transistor is turned off under the control of a negative voltage. For the N-type transistor, the turn-off voltage is a negative voltage (including a low voltage), and the turn-on voltage is a positive voltage. In other embodiments, the thin film transistor includes a P-type transistor. The gate of the P-type transistor is turned off under the control of a positive voltage, and the gate of the P-type transistor is turned on under the control of a negative voltage. For the P-type transistor, the turn-off voltage is a positive voltage, and the turn-on voltage is a negative voltage. Among them, the positive voltage is greater than the negative voltage. For simplicity, in various embodiments of the present invention, the thin film transistor includes an N-type transistor as an example for explanation, but it is not limited to this.
[0051] Exemplarily, the first reset transistor T7 is an N-type transistor. The off voltage is a negative voltage, and the on voltage is a positive voltage. The first electrode of the first reset transistor T7 and the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7 are both positive voltages, the gate of the first reset transistor T7 is a negative voltage, and the gate-source voltage difference of the first reset transistor T7 is a very negative value. The first reset transistor T7 is turned off more thoroughly, reducing the leakage through the first reset transistor T7.
[0052] Figure 3 A circuit diagram of another shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 3 The shut-off unit 160 includes a shut-off transistor T9. The gate of the shut-off transistor T9 is connected to the first node Q1, and the first electrode of the shut-off transistor T9 is connected to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7. When the shut-off transistor T9 is turned on, the turn-on voltage is written to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7.
[0053] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 The second electrode of the turn-off transistor T9 is connected to the first power supply voltage terminal VGH, and the first power supply voltage terminal VGH provides a conduction voltage. During the period when the turn-off transistor T9 is turned on, the conduction voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VGH can be written into the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7, which increases the time length for completely turning off the first reset transistor T7, and further improves the effect of reducing the leakage of the gate drive circuit.
[0054] For example, reference Figure 4 , when the first node Q1 is a positive voltage, the positive voltage of the first node Q1 controls the turn-off transistor T9 to turn on, and writes the positive voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VGH into the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7. In one embodiment, the voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VGH is a high voltage, and the high voltage is, for example, greater than or equal to 8V. In other embodiments, the voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VGH can also be a low voltage, and the low voltage is less than or equal to -8V.
[0055] Figure 4 A circuit diagram of another shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 4 The second electrode of the turn-off transistor T9 is connected to the first clock signal terminal CK1. During the period when the clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK1 is the conduction voltage, the conduction voltage can be written into the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7.
[0056] Figure 5 A circuit diagram of another shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 5 The second electrode of the turn-off transistor T9 is connected to the second clock signal terminal 220. During the period when the clock signal provided by the second clock signal terminal 220 is the conduction voltage, the conduction voltage can be written into the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7.
[0057] Figure 6 A circuit diagram of another shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 6 The shift register 100 further includes an isolation transistor T4. The gate of the isolation transistor T4 is connected to the first clock signal terminal CK1, the first electrode of the isolation transistor T4 is connected to the first node Q1, and the second electrode of the isolation transistor T4 and the control terminal of the first output unit 130 are connected to the second node Q2.
[0058] For example, reference Figure 6 , the isolation transistor T4 is an N-type transistor. The off voltage is a negative voltage, and the on voltage is a positive voltage. During the period when the clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a positive voltage, the isolation transistor T4 is turned on, and the first node Q1 and the second node Q2 have the same voltage. During the period when the clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a negative voltage, the isolation transistor T4 is turned off, and the first node Q1 and the second node Q2 have the same or different voltages.
[0059] Figure 7 A circuit diagram of another shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 7 , the first output unit 130 includes a first output transistor T5 and a first capacitor C1. The gate of the first output transistor T5 is connected to the second node Q2, the first electrode of the first output transistor T5 is connected to the second clock signal terminal 220, and the second electrode of the first output transistor T5 is connected to the output signal terminal 210. The second node Q2 has a different voltage from the first node Q1. Due to the bootstrap effect of the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the second node Q2 is set to open the first output unit 130 more thoroughly, thereby improving the voltage transmission capability of the first output unit 130 and improving the driving capability of the enable voltage output by the output signal terminal 210.
[0060] For example, reference Figure 7 , the first output transistor T5 is an N-type transistor. The off voltage is a negative voltage, and the on voltage is a positive voltage. Due to the bootstrap effect of the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the second node Q2 is coupled to a higher potential by the first capacitor C1. The higher the gate voltage of the first output transistor T5, the more thoroughly the first output transistor T5 is turned on, and the voltage transmission capability of the first output transistor T5 is stronger, thereby improving the driving capability of the enable voltage output by the output signal terminal 210.
[0061] Figure 8 A circuit diagram of another shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 8 , the shift register 100 also includes a second capacitor C2, a first plate of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the first node Q1, and a second plate of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the second power supply voltage terminal 230. The second power supply voltage terminal 230 provides a turn-off voltage. The capacitance value of the second capacitor C2 is greater than the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1. Thus, when the isolation transistor T4 is turned on, a second capacitor C2 with a larger capacitance value is set to change the voltage of the second node Q2 toward the voltage of the first node Q1. For example, the voltage of the first node Q1 is less than the voltage of the second node Q2. When the isolation transistor T4 is turned on, a second capacitor C2 with a larger capacitance value is set to pull the voltage of the second node Q2 down to the voltage of the first node Q1. The effect of resetting the voltage of the second node Q2 is achieved.
[0062] For example, reference Figure 8 , the second output unit 140 includes a third output transistor T6 and a third capacitor C3, the gate of the third output transistor T6 is connected to the third node QB, the first electrode of the third output transistor T6 is connected to the second power supply voltage terminal 230, and the second power supply voltage terminal 230 provides a shutdown voltage. For example, the voltage of the second power supply voltage terminal 230 is a low voltage, and the low voltage is, for example, less than or equal to -8V. In other embodiments, the voltage of the second power supply voltage terminal 230 can also be a high voltage, and the high voltage is greater than or equal to 8V. The second electrode of the third output transistor T6 is connected to the output signal terminal 210. The first plate of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the third node QB, and the second plate of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the second power supply voltage terminal 230. The third capacitor C3 is used to maintain the voltage of the third node QB.
[0063] Fig. 9 A circuit diagram of another shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Fig. 9, the second clock signal terminal 220 includes a second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 and a second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2, and the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 and the second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2 provide voltages with the same timing and different voltage values. The same timing means that the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 and the second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2 have a turn-on voltage at the same time in the same period, and have a turn-off voltage at the same time in the same period. The output signal terminal 210 includes a first output signal terminal OUT and a second output signal terminal CR. The first electrode of the first output transistor T5 is connected to the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2, and the second electrode of the first output transistor T5 is connected to the first output signal terminal OUT. The first output unit 130 also includes a second output transistor T10, the gate of the second output transistor T10 is connected to the second node Q2, the first electrode of the second output transistor T10 is connected to the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 or the second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2, and the second electrode of the second output transistor T10 is connected to the second output signal terminal CR.
[0064] For example, reference Fig. 9 , the voltage of the second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2 at a low voltage is less than the voltage of the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 at a low voltage.
[0065] Fig.10 A circuit diagram of another shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Fig.10 , the first reset unit 150 also includes a second reset transistor T8, the gate of the second reset transistor T8 is connected to the third node QB, the first electrode of the second reset transistor T8 is connected to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7, and the second electrode of the second reset transistor T8 is connected to the second power supply voltage terminal 230. The second power supply voltage terminal 230 provides a turn-off voltage. The turn-on voltage applied to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7 turns off the first reset transistor T7 more thoroughly, reduces the leakage through the first reset transistor T7, and reduces the leakage of the circuit branch where the first node Q1 - the first reset transistor T7 - the second reset transistor T8 - the second power supply voltage terminal 230 is located.
[0066] Fig.11 A circuit diagram of another shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Fig.11, the first input unit 110 includes a first input transistor T1, the gate of the first input transistor T1 is connected to the cascade signal input terminal STV, and the first electrode of the first input transistor T1 is connected to the first power supply voltage terminal VGH. The first power supply voltage terminal VGH provides a turn-on voltage, and the second electrode of the first input transistor T1 is connected to the first node Q1. When the turn-on voltage provided by the cascade signal input terminal STV turns on the first input transistor T1, the turn-on voltage provided by the first power supply voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the first node Q1. The turn-on voltage of the first node Q1 turns on the turn-off transistor T9, and the turn-off transistor T9 transmits the turn-on voltage provided by the first power supply voltage terminal VGH to the second electrode of the first reset transistor T7, turning off the first reset transistor T7 more thoroughly, reducing the leakage through the first reset transistor T7.
[0067] For example, reference Fig.11 , the second input unit 120 includes a second input transistor T2, the gate of which is connected to the third clock signal terminal CK3. The first electrode of the second input transistor T2 is connected to the first power supply voltage terminal VGH, and the second electrode of the second input transistor T2 is connected to the third node QB. During the period when the third clock signal terminal CK3 provides the conduction voltage, the second input transistor T2 is turned on, and the second input transistor T2 transmits the conduction voltage provided by the first power supply voltage terminal VGH to the third node QB.
[0068] For example, reference Figure 1 and Fig.11 , the second output signal terminal CR of the current stage shift register 100 is connected to the cascade signal input terminal STV of the next stage shift register 100.
[0069] For example, reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 , the first output signal terminal OUT of the current stage shift register 100 is connected to the cascade signal input terminal STV of the next stage shift register 100.
[0070] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Fig.11, the shift register 100 includes a second power supply voltage terminal 230 for providing a shutdown voltage. The second power supply voltage terminal 230 includes a second power supply first sub-voltage terminal VGL and a second power supply second sub-voltage terminal LVGL. The voltage provided by the second power supply first sub-voltage terminal VGL is greater than the voltage provided by the second power supply second sub-voltage terminal LVGL. The second output unit 140 includes a third output transistor T6, the gate of the third output transistor T6 is connected to the third node QB, the first electrode of the third output transistor T6 is connected to the second power supply second sub-voltage terminal LVGL, and the second electrode of the third output transistor T6 is connected to the output signal terminal 210. The shift register 100 also includes a third reset transistor T3, the gate of the third reset transistor T3 is connected to the first node Q1, the first electrode of the third reset transistor T3 is connected to the third node QB, and the second electrode of the third reset transistor T3 is connected to the second power supply second sub-voltage terminal LVGL.
[0071] For example, reference Fig.11 , the second electrode of the third output transistor T6 is connected to the second output signal terminal CR. The second output unit 140 also includes a fourth output transistor T11. The gate of the fourth output transistor T11 is connected to the third node QB, the first electrode of the fourth output transistor T11 is connected to the first sub-voltage terminal VGL of the second power supply, and the second electrode of the fourth output transistor T11 is connected to the first output signal terminal OUT. When the first node Q1 is a positive voltage, the third reset transistor T3 is turned on. The voltage provided by the second sub-voltage terminal LVGL of the second power supply is transmitted to the third node QB through the third reset transistor T3. When the voltage of the first output signal terminal OUT is a high voltage, the gate-source voltage difference of the fourth output transistor T11 is a negative value. Even if the threshold voltage of the fourth output transistor T11 drifts negatively, the fourth output transistor T11 can be turned off, thereby improving the working stability of the shift register 100. As an example, the voltage provided by the first sub-voltage terminal VGL of the second power supply is, for example, -8V, and the voltage provided by the second sub-voltage terminal LVGL of the second power supply is, for example, -10V.
[0072] For example, reference Fig.11, the low voltage of the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 is equal to the voltage provided by the second power supply second sub-voltage terminal LVGL, and the voltage of the second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2 at low voltage is equal to the voltage provided by the second power supply first sub-voltage terminal VGL. Therefore, the low voltage transmitted to the second output signal terminal CR through the first output transistor T5 is equal to the low voltage transmitted to the second output signal terminal CR through the third output transistor T6. The low voltage transmitted to the first output signal terminal OUT through the second output transistor T10 is equal to the low voltage transmitted to the first output signal terminal OUT through the fourth output transistor T11. It not only reduces the competition risk caused by different voltages, but also reduces the leakage of the two circuit branches. The two circuit branches include: the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 - the first output transistor T5 - the third output transistor T6 - the second power supply second sub-voltage terminal LVGL; and the second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2 - the second output transistor T10 - the fourth output transistor T11 - the second power supply first sub-voltage terminal VGL.

The voltage of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a high voltage, the isolation transistor T4 is turned on, and the second node Q2 becomes a high voltage. When the first node Q1 is a high voltage, the turn-off transistor T9 is turned on, and the high voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the second pole of the first reset transistor T7, and the first reset transistor T7 is turned off more thoroughly, reducing the leakage through the first reset transistor T7. The first node Q1 is a high voltage, charging the second capacitor C2. The second capacitor C2 maintains the high potential of the first node Q1. When the first node Q1 is a high voltage, the third reset transistor T3 is turned on, and the low voltage of the second sub-voltage terminal LVGL of the second power supply is transmitted to the third node QB, and the third node QB becomes a low voltage. The third node QB is a low voltage, and the third output transistor T6, the second reset transistor T8 and the fourth output transistor T11 are turned off. When the second node Q2 is a high voltage, the first output transistor T5 and the second output transistor T10 are turned on. The second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 is a low voltage, and the second output signal terminal CR is a low voltage. The second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2 is a low voltage, and the first output signal terminal OUT is a low voltage. The third clock signal terminal CK3 is a low voltage, and the second input transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T7 are turned off.
[0074] In the second period t2, the voltage of the cascade signal input terminal STV is a low voltage, and the first input transistor T1 is turned off. The first node Q1 is maintained at a high voltage. When the first node Q1 is a high voltage, the turn-off transistor T9 is turned on, and the high voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the second pole of the first reset transistor T7, and the first reset transistor T7 is turned off more thoroughly, reducing the leakage through the first reset transistor T7. When the first node Q1 is a high voltage, the third reset transistor T3 is turned on, and the low voltage of the second power supply second sub-voltage terminal LVGL is transmitted to the third node QB, and the third node QB becomes a low voltage. The third node QB is a low voltage, and the third output transistor T6, the second reset transistor T8 and the fourth output transistor T11 are turned off. The voltage of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a low voltage, the isolation transistor T4 is turned off, and the second node Q2 maintains a high voltage. When the second node Q2 is a high voltage, the first output transistor T5 is turned on, the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 becomes a high voltage, and the second output signal terminal CR is a high voltage. The second output transistor T10 is turned on, the second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2 is a high voltage, and the first output signal terminal OUT is a high voltage. In the second period t2, the shift register 100 outputs an enable voltage. Due to the bootstrap effect of the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the second node Q2 is coupled to a higher potential by the first capacitor C1. The higher the gate voltage of the first output transistor T5 and the second output transistor T10, the more thoroughly the first output transistor T5 and the second output transistor T10 are turned on, and the first output transistor T5 and the second output transistor T10 have a stronger ability to transmit voltage, thereby improving the driving ability of the enable voltage output by the first output signal terminal OUT and the second output signal terminal CR.

It not only reduces the competition risk caused by the voltage difference, but also reduces the leakage of the two circuit branches. The two circuit branches include: the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 - the first output transistor T5 - the third output transistor T6 - the second power supply second sub-voltage terminal LVGL; and the second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2 - the second output transistor T10 - the fourth output transistor T11 - the second power supply first sub-voltage terminal VGL. In the third period t3, when the voltage of the first output signal terminal OUT is a high voltage, the gate-source voltage difference of the fourth output transistor T11 is a negative value. Even if the threshold voltage of the fourth output transistor T11 drifts negatively, the fourth output transistor T11 can be turned off, thereby improving the working stability of the shift register 100.

The low voltage of the second clock first sub-signal terminal CK2 is transmitted to the second output signal terminal CR through the first output transistor T5, and the second output signal terminal CR is a low voltage. The low voltage of the second clock second sub-signal terminal BCK2 is transmitted to the first output signal terminal OUT through the second output transistor T10, and the first output signal terminal OUT is a low voltage.

The voltage of the first clock signal terminal CK1 is a high voltage, the isolation transistor T4 is turned on, the voltage of the second node Q2 is pulled down by the low voltage of the first node Q1, and the second node Q2 becomes a low voltage. When the first node Q1 is a low voltage, the turn-off transistor T9 is turned off. When the second node Q2 is a high voltage, the first output transistor T5 and the second output transistor T10 are turned off. In other words, wait until the next high voltage of the first clock signal terminal CK1 to reset the potential of the second node Q2 to a low voltage. When the first node Q1 is a low voltage, the third reset transistor T3 is turned off. The third node QB maintains a high voltage, the third output transistor T6 and the fourth output transistor T11 are turned on, the low voltage of the second sub-voltage terminal LVGL of the second power supply is transmitted to the second output signal terminal CR through the third output transistor T6, and the low voltage of the first sub-voltage terminal VGL of the second power supply is transmitted to the first output signal terminal OUT through the fourth output transistor T11.
