[0071] To make the purpose, technical solutions and effects of this application clearer and more specific, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0072] In the gate drive circuit in the invention application with application number 202310191137.9, the N-level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] has one negative pulse in one frame. The N-level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] has two positive pulses in one frame, and the pulse widths of the two positive pulses must be equal and both have a width of 2H. This restricts the width of the positive pulse of the N-level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] to remain consistent and cannot be changed, so that when the width of the positive pulse of the N-level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] is greater than 2H, the number of negative pulses of the N-level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] in one frame will increase.

[0073] Therefore, this will limit the pixel circuit shown in Figure 1 to operate according to the timing shown in Figure 2. Specifically, the pixel circuit shown in Figure 1 may include at least one of a write transistor T2P, a drive transistor T1P, a first light emission control transistor T5P, a second light emission control transistor T6P, a first initialization transistor T4P, a second initialization transistor T7P, a third initialization transistor T8P, a compensation transistor T3P, a light emitting device D1, a storage capacitor Cst, and a bootstrap capacitor CbOst.

[0074] The first power line is electrically connected to the first electrode of the first light-emitting control transistor T5P and one end of the storage capacitor Cst, the second electrode of the first light-emitting control transistor T5P is electrically connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1P and the first electrode of the writing transistor T2P, the second electrode of the driving transistor T1P is electrically connected to the first electrode of the compensation transistor T3P and the first electrode of the second light-emitting control transistor T6P, the second electrode of the second light-emitting control transistor T6P is electrically connected to the first electrode of the second initialization transistor T7P and the anode of the light-emitting device D1, and the cathode of the light-emitting device D1 is electrically connected to the second power line.

[0075] The light emission control line is electrically connected to the gate of the first light emission control transistor T5P and the gate of the second light emission control transistor T6P.

[0076] The second electrode of the write transistor T2P is electrically connected to the data line, and the gate of the write transistor T2P is electrically connected to one end of the bootstrap capacitor CbOst and receives the Nth-level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N]. The second electrode of the second initialization transistor T7P is electrically connected to the second initialization line, and the gate of the second initialization transistor T7P receives the gate drive signal Pscan2.

[0077] The second electrode of the compensation transistor T3P is electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor T1P, and the gate of the compensation transistor T3P is connected to the N-th stage positive pulse gate driving signal Nout[N].

[0078] The gate of the driving transistor T1P is electrically connected to the other end of the storage capacitor Cst, the other end of the bootstrap capacitor CbOst, and the first electrode of the first initialization transistor T4P.

[0079] A second electrode of the first initialization transistor T4P is electrically connected to the first initialization line, and a gate of the first initialization transistor T4P is connected to the N-1th stage positive pulse gate driving signal Nout[N-1].

[0080] A first electrode of the third initialization transistor T8P is electrically connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1P, a second electrode of the third initialization transistor T8P is electrically connected to the third initialization line, and a gate of the third initialization transistor T8P and a gate of the second initialization transistor T7P share a gate driving signal Pscan2.

[0081] It should be noted that the second initialization line can also be replaced by the first initialization line, which can reduce one wiring required for the pixel circuit and help increase the density of the pixel circuit in the display panel.

[0082] In this application, the first electrode can be either a source electrode or a drain electrode, and the second electrode can be the other of the source electrode and the drain electrode. For example, when the first electrode is a source electrode, the second electrode is a drain electrode; or when the first electrode is a drain electrode, the second electrode is a source electrode.

[0083] Among them, the first power line is used to transmit the positive power signal VDD, and the second power line is used to transmit the negative power signal VSS. The potential of the positive power signal VDD is higher than the potential of the negative power signal VSS. The data line is used to transmit the data signal Data. The light control line is used to transmit the light control signal EM. The first initialization line is used to transmit the first initialization signal Vi1. The second initialization line is used to transmit the second initialization signal. The third initialization line is used to transmit the third initialization signal Vi3. The first gate drive line is used to transmit the N-th level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N]. The second gate drive lines connected to the shift registers of different levels are used to transmit the N-1-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-1] and the N-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] respectively.

[0084] As can be seen from the above, in the gate drive circuit shown in the invention application No. 202310191137.9, the principle of generating a negative pulse in a frame of the N-th level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] is to filter out the first pulse of the start control signal STV or the NY-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[NY] by the second pulse of the reset signal RST. Therefore, the widths of the two positive pulses of the start control signal STV or the NY-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[NY] must be equal.

[0085] In the pixel circuit shown in Figure 1, in order to achieve synchronous conduction of the compensation transistor T3P and the first initialization transistor T4P, the pulse of the N-1th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-1] and the pulse of the Nth level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] need to partially overlap. This is why the first initialization transistor T4P in the pixel circuit shown in Figure 1 must be connected to the N-1th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-1].

[0086] In addition, in order to complete the transmission of the third initialization signal Vi3 through node A and node B to node Q in sequence to reset the potentials of node A, node B, and node Q, the third initialization transistor T8P and the compensation transistor T3P need to be turned on synchronously, which requires the pulse of the gate drive signal Pscan2 to partially overlap with the pulse of the Nth level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N].

[0087] In order for the pixel circuit shown in FIG1 to continue to use the gate driving signal Pscan2 whose pulse width can only be 1H, it is necessary to adjust the driving timing of the pixel circuit shown in FIG2 . Correspondingly, the gate driving circuit shown in FIG1 also needs to be improved.

[0088] In this context, in order to alleviate the technical problem that the pulse of the gate drive signal is difficult to adapt to the requirements in terms of time and width, the present embodiment provides a gate drive circuit, please refer to Figures 3 to 30. As shown in Figures 3 and 20, the gate drive circuit includes multiple shift registers, and the shift register includes a stage signal selection module 10, a pull-up control module 20, a first filter module 30, a second filter module 80 and at least one of the first output module 46.

[0089] The stage transmission signal selection module 10 is electrically connected between the first node O / O[N], the start control line, and the NYth stage positive pulse gate drive line, where Y is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0090] The pull-up control module 20 controls the potential of the second node K according to the potential of the first node O / O[N] and the potential of the first clock signal.

[0091] The first filter module 30 is electrically connected between the middle node and one of the second node K or the third node Q. The control end of the first filter module 30 is electrically connected to the NXth stage positive pulse gate drive line, where X is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0092] The second filter module 80 is electrically connected between the middle node and the other of the second node K or the third node Q. The control end of the second filter module 80 is electrically connected to the N-2th stage positive pulse gate drive line.

[0093] The first output module 46 is electrically connected to the third node Q, the fourth node P, and the N-th stage negative pulse gate driving line.

[0094] It can be understood that the gate drive circuit provided in this embodiment filters out the first part of the second pulse that appears later than the second node K in a frame through the first filtering module 30, and filters out the second part of the first pulse that appears first and the second pulse that appears later than the second node K in a frame through the second filtering module 80. The first part of the fixed width in the first pulse can be retained, and then the first output module 46 is controlled to output the gate drive signal of the pulse with the fixed width at the corresponding time. After such improvement, it can be suitable for the driving requirements of the back end.

[0095] In one embodiment, the shift register further includes a first inverting module 50 and a second output module 70, wherein the first inverting module 50 is electrically connected between the second node K and the fourth node P; the second output module 70 is electrically connected to the second node K and the Nth level positive pulse gate drive line.

[0096] It can be understood that after the improvements of Figures 3 and 20, since the first filtering module 30 can filter out the first part of the second pulse that appears later in a frame at the second node K, and the second filtering module 80 can filter out the second part of the first pulse that appears first and the second pulse that appears later in a frame at the second node K, the first part of the fixed width in the first pulse can be retained, and then the first output module 46 is controlled to output a gate drive signal with a pulse of the fixed width at a corresponding time. The pulse width of the N-level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] provided by the second output module 70 does not affect the pulse width of the N-level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N]. Therefore, the two pulse widths of the N-level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] in a frame can not only be modulated to a width greater than 2H, but also can be modulated separately without having to keep the two pulse widths equal. This provides support for the improvement of the drive timing of the pixel circuit.

[0097] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 20, the first filtering module 30 includes a first filtering transistor T11 and a first capacitor C2, one of the source or drain of the first filtering transistor T11 is electrically connected to the second node K, the other of the source or drain of the first filtering transistor T11 is electrically connected to the intermediate node, and the gate of the first filtering transistor T11 is electrically connected to the NX-th level positive pulse gate drive line; one end of the first capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the gate of the first filtering transistor T11, and the other end of the first capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the other of the source or drain of the first filtering transistor T11.

[0098] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG30 , the first filtering module 30 is used to filter out the first part of the second pulse that appears after the second node K in one frame.

[0099] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 20, the second filtering module 80 includes a second filtering transistor T8, one of the source or drain of the second filtering transistor T8 is electrically connected to the intermediate node, the other of the source or drain of the second filtering transistor T8 is electrically connected to the third node Q, and the gate of the first filtering transistor T11 is electrically connected to the N-2th level positive pulse gate drive line.

[0100] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG30 , the second filtering module 80 is used to filter out the latter part of the first pulse that appears first and the latter part of the second pulse that appears later at the second node K in a frame.

[0101] It can be seen from this that the first filtering module 30 and the second filtering module 80 are used to filter out the second pulse and retain the first portion of the first pulse with a fixed width.

[0102] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG20 , the shift register further includes an isolation module 75 , which is connected in series between the second node K and the input end of the second output module 70 , and a control end of the isolation module 75 is connected to the first clock signal.

[0103] It should be noted that the isolation module 75 is used to reduce the coupling of the pulse amplitude of the N-th level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] to the pulse amplitude of the N-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N], thereby stabilizing the high potential of the N-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N].

[0104] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG20 , the isolation module 75 includes a sixth transistor T14, one of the source or the drain of the sixth transistor T14 is electrically connected to the second node K, the other of the source or the drain of the sixth transistor T14 is electrically connected to the input end of the second output module 70, the gate of the sixth transistor T14 is connected to the first clock signal, and the sixth transistor T14 is a P-channel thin film transistor.

[0105] It should be noted that the sixth transistor T14 can reduce the coupling of the pulse amplitude of the N-th level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] to the pulse amplitude of the N-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N], thereby stabilizing the high potential of the N-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N].

[0106] In other embodiments, the isolation module 75 may further include a transistor connected in series between the gate of the sixth transistor T14 and the node N.

[0107] Among them, the input end of the level transmission signal selection module 10 is electrically connected to the starting control line or the NYth level positive pulse gate drive line, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and Y is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0108] An input end of the pull-up control module 20 is electrically connected to an output end of the stage transmission signal selection module 10 , and a control end of the pull-up control module 20 is electrically connected to the first clock line.

[0109] An input terminal of the first filter module 30 is electrically connected to an output terminal of the pull-up control module 20 , and a control terminal of the first filter module 30 is electrically connected to a reset line.

[0110] The control end of the pull-up module 40 is electrically connected to the output end of the first filter module 30, the input end of the pull-up module 40 is electrically connected to the second clock line, and the output end of the pull-up module 40 is electrically connected to the N-th stage negative pulse gate drive line. The input end of the first inverting module 50 is electrically connected to the output end of the pull-up control module 20.

[0111] The control end of the pull-down module 60 is electrically connected to the output end of the first inverting module 50 , the input end of the pull-down module 60 is electrically connected to the high potential line, and the output end of the pull-down module 60 is electrically connected to the Nth stage negative pulse gate driving line.

[0112] In one embodiment, the first output module 46 includes a pull-up module 40 and a pull-down module 60 .

[0113] It should be noted that the first wiring can be a starting control line or a NY-th level positive pulse gate drive line; when NY is less than or equal to 0, the first wiring is the starting control line. The N-th level positive pulse gate drive line, i.e., the second gate control line, is used to transmit the N-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N], i.e., the second gate drive signal. The N-th level negative pulse gate drive line, i.e., the first gate control line, is used to transmit the N-th level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N], i.e., the first gate drive signal.

[0114] In one embodiment, the first filtering module 30 includes a first filtering transistor T11 and a first capacitor C2, one of the source or the drain of the first filtering transistor T11 is electrically connected to the second node K, the other of the source or the drain of the first filtering transistor T11 is electrically connected to the third node Q, and the gate of the first filtering transistor T11 is connected to the reset signal RST; one end of the first capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the gate of the first filtering transistor T11, and the other end of the first capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the other of the source or the drain of the first filtering transistor T11.

[0115] A ratio of a channel width of the first filter transistor T11 to a channel length of the first filter transistor T11 is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 1.5.

[0116] It should be noted that this embodiment is conducive to ensuring the output stability of the Nth-level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N], and avoids the coupling pull-down phenomenon before the negative pulse arrives.

[0131] It should be noted that the pull-down transistor T7 can be a P-channel thin film transistor. Under the joint action of the pull-down module 60 and the pull-up module 40, the required Nth level negative pulse gate driving signal Pout[N] can be modulated.

[0132] The ratio of the channel width of the pull-down transistor T7 to the channel length of the pull-down transistor T7 is greater than or equal to 30:1.

That is, when the fourth node P is at a low potential and the second clock signal CK is at a low potential, the high potential line can control the potential of the second node K to the potential of the high potential signal VGH.

[0164] Fourth stage S4: As shown in Figures 21 and 25, the first clock signal XCK is at a low potential, the start control signal STV and the second clock signal CK are at a high potential, the fourth node P is at a high potential, the node N is at a low potential, and the Nth level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] is at a high potential.

[0167] Seventh stage S7: As shown in Figure 21 and Figure 28, the start control signal STV and the second clock signal CK are at a low potential, the first clock signal XCK is at a high potential, the fourth node P is at a high potential, the node N is at a low potential, and the Nth level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] is at a high potential.

[0168] The eighth stage S8: As shown in Figures 21 and 29, the start control signal STV and the first clock signal XCK are at a low potential, the second clock signal CK is at a high potential, the node N is at a high potential, the fourth node P is at a low potential, and the N-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] is switched from a high potential to a low potential.

[0170] Based on the above, Figure 30 illustrates the negative pulse generation process of the Nth-level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N]. For clarity, the two pulses from right to left in the same signal are referred to as the first pulse and the second pulse, respectively. The second node K transmits the first pulse and the second pulse in a frame. The high voltage of the first portion of the two pulses of the N-2th-level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-2] controls the second filter module 80 to filter out the latter portions of the first pulse and the second pulse output from the second node K. The high voltage of the latter portion of the first pulse of the reset signal RST controls the first filter module 30 to filter out the former portion of the second pulse output from the second node K. At this point, the width of the second pulse at the intermediate node W is also narrowed. The second pulse output from the second node K is completely filtered out, leaving only the former portion of the first pulse output from the second node K, forming a negative pulse at the third node Q. This negative pulse at the third node Q activates the pull-up module 40, forming a negative pulse of the Nth-level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] with a fixed width.

[0171] Please refer to Figure 31. The second node K of the gate drive circuit shown in Figure 31 will be affected by the voltage jump of the first clock signal XCK and / or the second clock signal CK, and the potential between the second node K and the fifth node N is in a linkage relationship. Therefore, the potential of the second node K and the potential of the fifth node N will show obvious fluctuations in the high and low level stages (such as glitches or spikes as shown in Figure 31).

[0172] As shown in Figure 31, the potential of the fifth node N, in particular, will be significantly affected by the bootstrap coupling of the first gate drive signal in the low-level stage, causing the second gate drive signal, i.e., the N-th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N], to show an obvious concave phenomenon in the high-level stage (as shown in the dotted box in Figure 31). This not only reduces the potential stability of the second gate drive signal, but also causes a decrease in the consistency between the second gate drive signals transmitted in the display panel, thereby affecting the uniformity of the display.

[0173] Based on this, this embodiment provides a gate drive circuit, please refer to Figures 32 to 59. As shown in Figures 32, 33, and 50, the gate drive circuit includes multiple shift registers, and the shift register includes a level signal selection module 10, a pull-up control module 20, a first filter module 30, a second filter module 80, a first inversion module 50, a first output module 46, a second output module 70 and at least one of the voltage regulation module 71.

[0174] The stage signal selection module 10 is electrically connected between the first wiring and the first node O / O[N].

[0175] The pull-up control module 20 controls the potential of the second node K according to the potential of the first node O / O[N] and the potential of the first clock signal XCK.

[0176] The first filter module 30 is electrically connected between the second node K and the third node Q. The control terminal of the first filter module 30 is connected to the reset signal RST.

[0177] The second filter module 80 is electrically connected between the first filter module 30 and the third node Q. The control terminal of the second filter module 80 is connected to the filter control signal RST2.

[0178] The first inverting module 50 is connected between the second node K and the fourth node P.

[0179] The first output module 46 outputs a first gate driving signal according to the potential of the third node Q and the potential of the fourth node P.

[0180] The second output module 70 includes a P-channel first transistor T9 and an N-channel second transistor T10. The first electrode of the first transistor T9 is electrically connected to the first high potential line, the second electrode of the first transistor T9 is electrically connected to the first electrode of the second transistor T10 to output a second gate drive signal, the second electrode of the second transistor T10 is connected to the first low potential signal, and the second node K is electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor T9 and the gate of the second transistor T10.

[0181] One end of the voltage regulating module 71 is connected to the low voltage signal, the other end of the voltage regulating module 71 is connected to the gate of the second transistor T10, and the control end of the voltage regulating module 71 is electrically connected to the fourth node P, the output end of the second output module 70, or the first node of the next stage shift register, i.e., O[n+1].

[0182] It can be understood that the gate drive circuit provided in this embodiment can stabilize or reduce the gate potential of the second transistor T10 through a low voltage signal under the control of one of the fourth node P, the output end of the second output module 70, or the first node O[n+1] of the next-stage shift register. This makes the second transistor T10 stable or better in the cut-off state to reduce leakage current, and thus can maintain the potential of the second gate drive signal at a high potential or pulse amplitude, thereby improving the potential stability of the gate drive signal.

[0183] It should be noted that the filtering control signal RST2 may be the N-2th level positive pulse gate driving signal Nout[N-2], and positive pulse gate driving signals of other levels may also be selected according to filtering requirements.

[0184] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the voltage regulating module 71 is used to stabilize or reduce the low potential of the second node K. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the voltage regulating module 71 is further used to stabilize or reduce the gate potential of the second transistor T10 during the positive pulse of the second gate driving signal.

[0185] In one embodiment, the voltage regulating module 71 includes a third transistor T15, a first electrode of the third transistor T15 is connected to a low voltage signal, a second electrode of the third transistor T15 is electrically connected to the gate of the second transistor T10, and the gate of the third transistor T15 is electrically connected to the fourth node P, the output end of the second output module 70, or the first node of the next-stage shift register, i.e., O[n+1].

[0186] It should be noted that the third transistor T15 can stabilize or reduce the gate potential of the second transistor T10 during the duration of the positive pulse of the second gate drive signal, so that the second transistor T10 is stable or better in the cut-off state to reduce leakage current, and thus can maintain the potential of the second gate drive signal at a high potential or pulse amplitude, thereby improving the potential stability of the gate drive signal.

[0187] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG32 , the gate of the third transistor T15 is electrically connected to the fourth node P and one of the output terminals of the second output module 70 , the low voltage signal is a first low potential signal, and the channel type of the third transistor T15 is the same as the channel type of the second transistor T10 .

[0188] In this embodiment, the low voltage signal and the first low potential signal are both the signal NVGL.

[0189] It should be noted that since the low-voltage signal is a first low-potential signal, in this embodiment, the second transistor T10 and the third transistor T15 can share the same low-potential line, which can reduce the number of wiring required for the gate drive circuit. The channel type of the third transistor T15 is the same as that of the second transistor T10. When the second transistor T10 is in the off state, the third transistor T15 can be turned on to further reduce the gate potential of the second transistor T10.

[0190] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 33, the gate of the third transistor T15 is electrically connected to the fourth node P and one of the output terminals of the second output module 70, the channel type of the third transistor T15 is the same as the channel type of the second transistor T10, and the potential of the low voltage signal is lower than the potential of the first low potential signal.

[0191] In this embodiment, the first low potential signal is the signal NVGL, and the low voltage signal is the signal NVGL2.

[0192] It should be noted that the channel type of the third transistor T15 is the same as that of the second transistor T10. When the second transistor T10 is in the off state, the signal NVGL2 can be transmitted to the gate of the second transistor T10 via the third transistor T15. Compared with the signal NVGL, the gate potential of the second transistor T10 can be further reduced, thereby reducing the leakage current of the second transistor T10. In this way, the stability of the low potential of the second node K and the low potential of the intermediate node W can be improved.

[0193] In one embodiment, the difference between the potentials of the signal NVGL and the signal NVGL2 is greater than or equal to 2V.

[0194] It should be noted that this embodiment can not only reduce the leakage current of the second transistor T10 , but also adjust the threshold voltage of the second transistor T10 to shift toward the positive direction, thereby increasing the threshold voltage range of the second transistor T10 .

[0195] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 35, the first inverting module 50 includes a P-channel fourth transistor T3 and an N-channel fifth transistor T1, the first electrode of the fourth transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second high potential line, the second electrode of the fourth transistor T3 is electrically connected to the fourth node P, and the gate of the fourth transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second node K; the first electrode of the fifth transistor T1 is electrically connected to the fourth node P, the second electrode of the fifth transistor T1 is connected to the second low potential signal, and the gate of the fifth transistor T1 is electrically connected to the second node K; wherein the potential of the second low potential signal is lower than the potential of the low voltage signal.

[0196] In this embodiment, the second low potential signal is the signal PVGL, and the low voltage signal is the signal NVGL.

[0197] It should be noted that, when the fifth transistor T1 is turned on, the gate-source voltage difference of the third transistor T15 can be made less than zero, which can effectively ensure the stability of the third transistor T15 under the dual 85.

[0198] In one embodiment, the second transistor T10 is a dual-gate transistor, and the first gate of the second transistor T10 is electrically connected to the second node K and the second gate of the second transistor T10; the third transistor T15 is a dual-gate transistor, and the first gate of the third transistor T15 is electrically connected to the fourth node P and the second gate of the third transistor T15.

[0199] It should be noted that the second transistor T10 and the third transistor T15 are dual-gate transistors, which can not only reduce the drift of the threshold voltage but also improve the accuracy of control.

[0200] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 50, the gate of the third transistor T15 is electrically connected to the first node O[n+1] of the next-stage shift register, the low voltage signal is a first low potential signal, and the channel type of the third transistor T15 is different from the channel type of the second transistor T10; the shift register also includes a sixth transistor T14, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T14 is electrically connected to the second node K, the second electrode of the sixth transistor T14 is electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor T9, the gate of the sixth transistor is connected to the first clock signal XCK, and the channel type of the sixth transistor is the same as the channel type of the first transistor T9.

[0201] In this embodiment, the low voltage signal and the first low potential signal are both signals VGL.

[0202] It should be noted that the first node O[n+1] of the next-stage shift register is used as the signal source for the gate of the third transistor T15. The potential of O[n+1] is inversely proportional to the potential of the fourth node P, while the waveform of O[n+1] is substantially identical to the waveform of the fifth node N. Therefore, by controlling the P-channel third transistor T15 using O[n+1], the potential of the fifth node N can be continuously and sufficiently pulled down, so that the voltage of the fifth node N reaches the target potential of VGL-Vth. This can also reduce the leakage current of the second transistor T10 and improve the stability of the high potential provided by the second output module 70.

[0203] Wherein, VGL is the potential of the low potential signal, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the second transistor T10.

[0222] It should be noted that the "crosses" in Figures 35 to 49 indicate that the transistors covered by them are in the off state, and the transistors not covered by the "crosses" are in the on state. The dotted arrows in Figures 35 to 49 indicate the direction of current.

[0223] In a frame, the gate drive circuit includes stages S100 and S200. Stages S1 through S15 described above belong to stage S100. During stage S100, the pulses of each first gate drive signal and each second gate drive signal are fully output. However, during stage S200, the pulses of each first gate drive signal and each second gate drive signal are not required. Therefore, maintaining at least one of the first clock signal XCK and the second clock signal CK at a low voltage reduces the frequency of voltage fluctuations in at least one of the first clock signal XCK and the second clock signal CK, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0224] The operation process of the shift register shown in FIG50 in one frame may include the following stages as shown in FIG51:

[0233] It should be noted that the "crosses" in Figures 52 to 9 indicate that the transistors covered by them are in the off state, and the transistors not covered by the "crosses" are in the on state. The dotted arrows in Figures 52 to 9 indicate the direction of current.

[0234] FIG60 is a schematic diagram illustrating the cascaded structure of different shift registers in the gate drive circuit shown in FIG3 , FIG20 , FIG32 , FIG33 , or FIG50 . Arranged from top to bottom are the first-stage shift register, the second-stage shift register, the third-stage shift register, ... the Nth-stage shift register, the N+1th-stage shift register, and so on. Each shift register operates based on the first clock signal XCK and the second clock signal CK received therein.

[0235] The control terminals of the first filter module 30 and the second filter module 80 in the first-stage shift register are both connected to the low-voltage signal VGL, and the input terminal (IN) of the first-stage shift register connected to the start control line is connected to the start control signal STV. The first-stage shift register outputs the corresponding first-stage negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[1] and first-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[1]. The first-stage negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[1] and first-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[1] are used to drive dummy pixels (Dummy) or are left floating.

[0236] The control terminals of the first filter module 30 and the second filter module 80 in the second-stage shift register are both connected to the low-voltage signal VGL, and the starting control line connected to the second-stage shift register is connected to the cascade signal, namely the first-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[1]. The second-stage shift register outputs the corresponding second-stage negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[2] and second-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[2]. The second-stage negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[2] and second-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[2] are used to drive dummy pixels (Dummy) or are left floating.

[0237] The control terminals of the first filter module 30 and the second filter module 80 in the third-stage shift register are both connected to the low-voltage signal VGL, and the starting control line connected to the third-stage shift register is connected to the cascade signal, namely the second-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[2]. The third-stage shift register outputs the corresponding third-stage negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[3] and third-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[3]. The third-stage negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[3] and third-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[3] are used to drive dummy pixels (Dummy) or leave them floating.

[0238] The same logic can be applied to other control lines, until the control terminals of the first filter module 30 and the second filter module 80 in the N-th shift register are connected to the NX-th positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[NX] and the N-2-th positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-2], respectively. The starting control line connected to the N-th shift register is connected to the cascade signal, namely the N-1-th positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-1]. The N-th shift register outputs the corresponding N-th negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] and the N-th positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N]. The N-th negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] and the N-th positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] are used to drive the first row of pixel circuits (Pixel).

[0239] The control terminals of the first filter module 30 and the second filter module 80 in the N+1-stage shift register are connected to the N-X+1-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-X+1] and the N-1-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-1], respectively. The starting control line connected to the N+1-stage shift register is connected to the cascade signal, namely the N-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N]. The N+1-stage shift register outputs the corresponding N+1-stage negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N+1] and the N+1-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N+1]. The N+1-stage negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N+1] and the N+1-stage positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N+1] are used to drive the second row of pixel circuits (Pixel).

[0240] The same logic can be applied to the other subsequent shift registers. It should be noted that, since the output terminals of some shift registers are connected to dummy pixels or left floating, the output terminals of the Nth stage shift register are not connected to the Nth row of pixel circuits. Instead, the number of rows of connected pixel circuits needs to be determined based on the number of shift registers connected to dummy pixels or left floating. For example, if the 1st to 3rd stage shift registers are connected to dummy pixels, then the output terminals of the Nth stage shift register are connected to the N-3rd row of pixel circuits.

[0241] The same can be applied to other subsequent shift registers.

[0242] The display panel shown in Figure 61 includes pixel circuits (Pixel) distributed in an array in the display area, the display panel shown in Figure 32 includes pixel circuits (Pixel) distributed in an array in the display area, a first gate drive circuit 151 providing a light-emitting control signal EM, a fourth gate drive circuit 154 providing a gate drive signal Pscan2, a second gate drive circuit 152 providing an N-level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] and a gate drive signal Nscan, and a third gate drive circuit 153 providing an N-level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] and a gate drive signal Nscan.

[0243] The first gate driving circuit 151 can be located on the left side of the display area. The output end of each shift register in the first gate driving circuit 151 provides a light emitting control signal EM to two adjacent rows of pixel circuits through the corresponding light emitting control line, which is a unilateral drive.

[0244] The fourth gate driving circuit 154 can be located on the right side of the display area. The output end of each shift register in the fourth gate driving circuit 154 provides a gate driving signal Pscan2 to a row of pixel circuits through a corresponding gate driving line, which is a unilateral driving.

[0245] The second gate drive circuit 152 is located between the first gate drive circuit 151 and the display area. The third gate drive circuit 153 is located between the fourth gate drive circuit 154 and the display area. A scan line that transmits the N-th level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] is electrically connected to the output of a shift register in the second gate drive circuit 152, the output of a shift register in the third gate drive circuit 153, and a row of pixel circuits. A gate drive line that transmits the gate drive signal Nscan is electrically connected to the output of a shift register in the second gate drive circuit 152, the output of a shift register in the third gate drive circuit 153, and a row of pixel circuits, demonstrating bilateral drive.

[0246] The second gate drive circuit 152 and the third gate drive circuit 153 can both adopt the gate drive circuits shown in Figures 3 and 20. The gate drive signal Nscan can include the Nth level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N] and the N-3th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-3].

[0247] Since it is necessary for the gate of the first initialization transistor T4P in the pixel circuit shown in Figure 1 to be connected to the N-1th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-1], after the gate of the write transistor T2P in the pixel circuit shown in Figure 33 is connected to the Nth level negative pulse gate drive signal Pout[N] and the gate of the compensation transistor T3P is connected to the Nth level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N], not only can the gate of the third initialization transistor T8P continue to use the existing gate drive signal Pscan2 (there is no need to improve the fourth gate drive circuit 154), the gate of the first initialization transistor T4P can also be replaced with the N-3th level positive pulse gate drive signal Nout[N-3].

[0248] After that, the pixel circuit shown in Figure 62 can not only operate in the existing stage P12 in Figure 63 in one frame, but also add an additional stage P11. In this stage P11, the first initialization transistor T4P and the compensation transistor T3P can be synchronously turned on to reset the three-terminal (Q, A, B) potentials of the driving transistor T1P, so as to reduce the drift of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1P and improve the flicker under different refresh frequencies.

[0249] In one embodiment, this embodiment provides a display panel, which includes the gate driving circuit and the pixel circuit in at least one of the above embodiments.

[0250] It can be understood that since the display panel provided in this embodiment includes the gate driving circuit of at least one of the above-mentioned embodiments, the voltage regulation module 71 can also stabilize or reduce the gate potential of the second transistor T10 through a low voltage signal under the control of one of the fourth node P, the output end of the second output module 70, or the first node O[n+1] of the next-stage shift register, so that the second transistor T10 is stable or better in the cut-off state to reduce leakage current, and the potential of the second gate driving signal can be maintained at a high potential or pulse amplitude, thereby improving the potential stability of the gate driving signal.

[0251] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this application, and all these changes or substitutions should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to this application.
