[0030] 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.

[0031] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a shift register structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1, the shift register includes a first input module 11, a second input module 12, a feedback adjustment module 13 and an output module 14. The first input module 11 is electrically connected to the first input signal terminal IN1 and the first clock signal terminal CK, and the first input module 11 is used to transmit the signal of the first input signal terminal IN1 to the first node N1 under the control of the first clock signal terminal CK. The second input module 12 is electrically connected to the second input signal terminal IN2 and the first clock signal terminal CK, and the second input module 12 is used to transmit the signal of the second input signal terminal IN2 to the second node N2 under the control of the first clock signal terminal CK. The feedback adjustment module 13 is electrically connected to the first clock signal terminal CK, the first node N1 and the third node N3, and the feedback adjustment module 13 is used to transmit the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK to the third node N3 under the control of the first node N1. The feedback adjustment module 13 realizes the feedback of the first node N1 to the third node N3. The output module 14 is electrically connected to the second clock signal terminal XCK, the second node N2, the third node N3, the first voltage terminal VGH and the output signal terminal GOUT. The output module 14 is used to transmit the signal of the second clock signal terminal XCK to the output signal terminal GOUT under the control of the second node N2, and to transmit the signal of the first voltage terminal VGH to the output signal terminal GOUT under the control of the third node N3.

[0032] The embodiment of the present invention provides a shift register, which uses a first input module 11 to control the input of the first node N1, and uses a second input module 12 to control the input of the second node N2. That is, by using two different input modules to control the input of the first node N1 and the second node N2 respectively, the first node N1 and the second node N2 are separated, the first node N1 and the second node N2 are not connected, the first node N1 and the second node N2 do not interfere with each other, the voltage change of the first node N1 does not affect (for example, pull down) the voltage of the second node N2, and the signal of the second clock signal terminal XCK is not mistakenly transmitted to the output signal terminal GOUT under the control of the second node N2, and the peak spike does not occur, thereby reducing the risk of competition risk in the shift register. On the other hand, the first node N1 and the second node N2 are separated, and when the voltage of the second node N2 changes (for example, is pulled down), it will not affect (for example, pull down) the voltage of the first node N1, so that the voltage transmitted to the third node N3 will not be affected by the control of the first node N1, thereby improving the voltage resistance of the shift register.

[0033] For example, reference Figure 1 , opposite clock signals are applied to the first clock signal terminal CK and the second clock signal terminal XCK respectively. When the first clock signal terminal CK is a low voltage, the second clock signal terminal XCK is a high voltage; when the first clock signal terminal CK is a high voltage, the second clock signal terminal XCK is a low voltage.

[0034] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of another shift register structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 ,,refer to Figure 2 The shift register further includes a first reset module 15. The first reset module 15 is electrically connected to the first clock signal terminal CK, the second voltage terminal VGL and the third node N3. The first reset module 15 is used to transmit the signal of the second voltage terminal VGL to the third node N3 under the control of the first clock signal terminal CK, and reset the third node N3.

[0035] For example, reference Figure 2 , the voltage of the first voltage terminal VGH is greater than the voltage of the second voltage terminal VGL, the voltage of the first voltage terminal VGH is a constant high voltage, and the voltage of the second voltage terminal VGL is a constant low voltage. When the first clock signal terminal CK is a low voltage, the low voltage of the second voltage terminal VGL is transmitted to the third node N3, setting the third node N3 to a low voltage, thereby resetting the third node N3.

[0036] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of another shift register structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 The shift register further includes a second reset module 16. The second reset module 16 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the first voltage terminal VGH, the second clock signal terminal XCK and the second node N2. The second reset module 16 is used to transmit the signal of the first voltage terminal VGH to the second node N2 under the control of the third node N3 and the second clock signal terminal XCK.

[0037] For example, reference Figure 3 When the second clock signal terminal XCK is at a low voltage and the third node N3 is at a low voltage, the high voltage of the first voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the second node N2, setting the second node N2 to a high voltage to achieve resetting of the second node N2.

[0038] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another shift register structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 The output module 14 includes a first transistor M1, a second transistor M2 and a first capacitor C1. The gate of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the first electrode of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the first voltage terminal VGH, and the second electrode of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the output signal terminal GOUT. The gate of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected to the second node N2, the first electrode of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected to the second clock signal terminal XCK, and the second electrode of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected to the output signal terminal GOUT. The first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the first capacitor C1 is used to stabilize the voltage of the third node N3.

[0039] For example, reference Figure 4 , taking the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 as P-type transistors as an example. When the third node N3 is a low voltage, the first transistor M1 is turned on, and the high voltage of the first voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the output signal terminal GOUT. At this time, it is the non-enabled output stage of the shift register. When the second node N2 is a low voltage and the second clock signal terminal XCK is a low voltage, the second transistor M2 is turned on, and the low voltage of the second clock signal terminal XCK is transmitted to the output signal terminal GOUT. At this time, it is the enabled output stage of the shift register.

[0040] For example, reference Figure 4 , the first plate of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the second plate of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the first voltage terminal VGH. The first capacitor C1 is used to stabilize the voltage of the third node N3, so that the third node N3 is maintained at a low voltage for a long period of time, and the first transistor M1 is turned on. The output signal terminal GOUT maintains a high voltage output for a long period of time. The output signal terminal GOUT maintains a low voltage output for a short period of time, and the second node N2 is maintained at a low voltage for a short time to turn on the second transistor M2. On the other hand, the second transistor M2 is used to output the enable output signal of the shift register, and the second transistor M2 is larger than the first transistor M1 and has better maintenance ability. Therefore, in one embodiment, a first capacitor C1 is provided for maintaining the voltage of the third node N3, and there is no need to provide a capacitor for maintaining the voltage of the second node N2.

[0042] For example, reference Figure 5 The first plate of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the second plate of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the output signal terminal GOUT. The second capacitor C2 is used to stabilize the voltage of the second node N2, so that the second node N2 is maintained at a low voltage for a period of time, the second transistor M2 is turned on, and the output signal terminal GOUT maintains a low voltage output, thereby improving the output stability of the shift register.

The third capacitor C3 is electrically connected to the first node N1 and is used to stabilize the voltage of the first node N1.

[0048] For example, reference Figure 8 , taking the fifth transistor M5 as a P-type transistor as an example. When the first node N1 is at a low voltage, the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, and the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK is transmitted to the third node N3, realizing the feedback of the first node N1 to the third node N3. Among them, the first plate of the third capacitor C3 is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the second plate of the third capacitor C3 is electrically connected to the first voltage terminal VGH. The third capacitor C3 is used to stabilize the voltage of the first node N1, so that the first node N1 is maintained at a low voltage for a long period of time, the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, and the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK is transmitted to the third node N3.

A gate of the sixth transistor M6 is electrically connected to the first clock signal terminal CK, a first electrode of the sixth transistor M6 is electrically connected to the second voltage terminal VGL, and a second electrode of the sixth transistor M6 is electrically connected to the third node N3.

[0050] For example, reference Fig. 9 When the first clock signal terminal CK is at a low voltage, the sixth transistor M6 is turned on, and the low voltage of the second voltage terminal VGL is transmitted to the third node N3, setting the third node N3 to a low voltage, thereby resetting the third node N3.

[0052] For example, reference Fig.10 , taking the seventh transistor M7 and the eighth transistor M8 as P-type transistors as an example, when the second clock signal terminal XCK is at a low voltage and the third node N3 is at a low voltage, the seventh transistor M7 and the eighth transistor M8 are both turned on, and the high voltage of the first voltage terminal VGH is transmitted to the second node N2, setting the second node N2 to a high voltage, thereby resetting the second node N2.

It can be understood that, Fig.10 As shown, without setting the ninth transistor M9, the second input module 12, the second reset module 16 and the output module 14 are all connected to the second node N2, and the number of modules directly connected to the second node N2 is three; Fig.11As shown, by connecting the ninth transistor M9 to the second node N2 in the second input module 12, the ninth transistor M9 and the output module 14 are connected to the second node N2, and the number of modules directly connected to the second node N2 is two, thereby reducing the number of modules directly connected to the second node N2, improving the voltage stability of the second node N2, and improving the circuit stability of the shift register.

[0054] For example, reference Fig.11 Taking the ninth transistor M9 as a P-type transistor as an example, the ninth transistor M9 is always turned on under the control of the second voltage terminal VGL, connecting the second input module 12 and the second node N2 to be turned on.

[0059] Fig.14 A timing diagram of a shift register provided by an embodiment of the present invention, combined with reference to Fig.10 and Fig.14 , the voltage of the first input signal terminal IN1 and the second input signal terminal IN2 jumps at the same time, from a low voltage to a high voltage or from a high voltage to a low voltage.

That is to say, by adopting two different input modules, the inputs of the first node N1 and the second node N2 are respectively controlled, so that the first node N1 and the second node N2 are separated, the first node N1 and the second node N2 are not connected, and the first node N1 and the second node N2 do not interfere with each other, so as to reduce the risk of competition hazard in the shift register and improve the voltage resistance of the shift register.

[0062] For example, reference Fig.15If the first input signal terminal IN1 is electrically connected to the second input signal terminal IN2, except for the last shift register, the output signal terminal GOUT of each shift register is electrically connected to the first input signal terminal IN1 and the second input signal terminal IN2 of the next shift register unit.
