[0062] When the signal of the first node N1 and the signal of the third node N3 are both low-level signals, the first clock signal CK is a high-level signal, and the second clock signal XCK is a low-level signal, the first node N1 is a low-level signal, and the fifth node N5 is the first voltage signal VGH, and the first transistor M1 is controlled to remain turned off, thereby preventing the first voltage signal VGH from interfering with the signal of the first node N1, so that the first node N1 maintains a low-level signal.

When the second clock signal XCK is a high-level signal, the fourth transistor M4 is turned off, and the low-level signal of the fourth node N4 cannot be transmitted to the third transistor M3. The third transistor M3 is turned off, so that the first voltage signal VGH cannot be transmitted to the fifth node N5.
[0064] When the signal of the first node N1 and the signal of the third node N3 are both low-level signals, the first clock signal CK is a high-level signal, and the second clock signal XCK is a low-level signal, the first node N1 is a low-level signal, and the first transistor M1 is controlled to remain turned off, further preventing the first voltage signal VGH from interfering with the signal of the first node N1 through the fifth node N5, so that the first node N1 maintains a low-level signal.

[0068] When the signal of the first node N1 and the signal of the third node N3 are both low-level signals, the first clock signal CK is a low-level signal, and the second clock signal XCK is a high-level signal, the regulating unit 230 is turned off, the low-level signal of the fourth node N4 cannot be transmitted to the gate of the third transistor M3, so that the third transistor M3 is turned off, and the first voltage signal VGH cannot be transmitted to the fifth node N5.
[0069] Therefore, when the signal at the first node N1 and the signal at the third node N3 are both low-level signals, the first clock signal CK is a high-level signal, and the second clock signal XCK is a low-level signal, the first node N1 is a low-level signal, and the high level of the fourth node N4 is transmitted to the gate of the third transistor M3, thereby controlling the third transistor M3 to be turned off, preventing the first voltage signal VGH from interfering with the signal of the first node N1 through the fifth node N5, so that the first node N1 maintains a low-level signal.

[0071] When the signal of the first node N1 and the signal of the third node N3 are both low-level signals, the first clock signal CK is a low-level signal, and the second clock signal XCK is a high-level signal, the fourth transistor M4 is turned off, and the low-level signal of the fourth node N4 cannot be transmitted to the gate of the third transistor M3, so that the third transistor M3 is turned off, and the first voltage signal VGH cannot be transmitted to the fifth node N5.
[0072] Therefore, when the signal at the first node N1 and the signal at the third node N3 are both low-level signals, the first clock signal CK is a high-level signal, and the second clock signal XCK is a low-level signal, the first node N1 is a low-level signal, the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, and the high level of the fourth node N4 is transmitted to the gate of the third transistor M3, thereby controlling the third transistor M3 to be turned off, preventing the first voltage signal VGH from interfering with the signal of the first node N1 through the fifth node N5, so that the first node N1 maintains a low-level signal.

[0075] Therefore, when the signal at the first node N1 and the signal at the third node N3 are both low-level signals, the first clock signal CK is a high-level signal, and the second clock signal XCK is a low-level signal, the first node N1 is a low-level signal, avoiding interference with the signal of the first node N1 when the fifth node N5 is a high-level signal, so that the first node N1 maintains a low-level signal.

[0105] Moreover, the first transistor M1 is in the on state only when the fourth node N4 and the second clock signal XCK are both at low levels. Therefore, the first transistor M1 is in the off state in the T5 period and the T6 period, thereby avoiding the high-level signal of the fifth node N5 affecting the low-level signal of the first node N1 in the T6 period. The low-level signal of the first node N1 can be maintained, thereby maintaining the low-level signal of the third node N3, and improving the stability of the output signal OUT generated by the third control unit 30, thereby improving the stability of the signal output by the drive circuit 100.
