[0064] The following will be combined Figure 8 The complete circuit diagram is shown for detailed explanation. Figure 8 for Figure 1 A complete circuit diagram of the GOA unit 100 is shown.

[0065] in, Figure 8 The first node Q control module 101 in the GOA unit 100 shown is equivalent to Figure 2 The first node Q control module 101 in the GOA unit 100 is shown. Figure 8 The second node P control module 102 in the GOA unit 100 shown is equivalent to Figure 4The second node P control module 102 in the GOA unit 100 is shown. Figure 8 The delay suppression module 103 in the GOA unit 100 shown is equivalent to Figure 6 The delay suppression module 103 in the GOA unit 100 is shown. Figure 8 The output module 104 in the GOA unit 100 shown is equivalent to Figure 7 The output module 104 in the GOA unit 100 is shown.

[0066] Among them, Figure 8 In the GOA unit 100 shown, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, the ninth transistor T9, the tenth transistor T10, the eleventh transistor T11, the twelfth transistor T12, the thirteenth transistor T13 and the fourteenth transistor T14 are all P-type transistors.

[0067] Among them, Figure 8 In the GOA unit 100 shown, the first clock signal XCK and the second clock signal CK are signals with the same period and opposite phases, the clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK are the same signal, the first constant voltage signal VGL is a constant voltage low level signal, and the second constant voltage signal VGH is a constant voltage high level signal.

[0068] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 for Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a timing diagram of the complete circuit of the GOA unit 100. Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, in the first stage t1, the first clock signal XCK is at a low level, and the second clock signal CK is at a high level, thereby controlling the fourth transistor T4, the eleventh transistor T11, the twelfth transistor T12, and the fourteenth transistor T14 to be turned off, and the remaining transistors to be turned on.

[0069] Specifically, the first clock signal XCK is at a low level, so that the first transistor T1 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, the low level of the first constant voltage signal VGL is output to the node N2, the node N1 and the first end of the first capacitor C1, and the low level of the signal output by the previous signal output terminal STV is output to the node N3, the second node P and the first end of the second capacitor C2; because the node N3 is at a low level, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, the low level of the first clock signal XCK is output to the node N2, and the high level of the second constant voltage signal VGH is output to the first node Q. At this time, the third transistor T3 is turned on, and the high level of the second clock signal CK is output to the second end of the first capacitor C1. Because the node N2 is at a low level and the second node P is at a low level, the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 are turned on, and the high level of the second clock signal CK and the high level of the second constant voltage signal VGH are output to the second end of the second capacitor C2. At this time, because the twelfth transistor T12 is turned off, the third node K does not receive a signal.

[0070] Combination Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, in the second stage t2, the first clock signal XCK is at a high level and the second clock signal CK is at a low level, thereby controlling the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, the seventh transistor T7, the eleventh transistor T11, the twelfth transistor T12 and the fourteenth transistor T14 to be turned off, and the remaining transistors to be turned on.

[0071] Specifically, the second node P maintains the low level at the first stage t1 due to the existence of the second capacitor C2. At this time, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, and the high level of the first clock signal XCK is output to the node N2, the node N1 and the first end of the first capacitor C1, and the high level of the second constant voltage signal VGH is output to the first node Q and the second end of the first capacitor C1. Since the second node P is at a low level, the ninth transistor T9 is turned on, and the low level of the second clock signal CK is output to the second end of the second capacitor C2. At this time, the second end of the second capacitor C2 jumps from the high level at the first stage t1 to the low level, and the second capacitor C2 bootstraps to lower the potential of the second node P. At the same time, the twelfth transistor T12 is turned on, so that the level of the third node K is equal to the level of the second node P at this time, and the low level of the first constant voltage signal VGL is output to the signal output terminal OUT of this stage.

[0072] Combination Figure 8 , Fig. 9As shown, in the third stage t3, the first clock signal XCK is at a low level and the second clock signal CK is at a high level, thereby controlling the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the ninth transistor T9, the eleventh transistor T11, the twelfth transistor T12, the thirteenth transistor T13 and the fourteenth transistor T14 to be turned off, and the remaining transistors to be turned on.

[0073] Specifically, the first clock signal XCK is at a low level, so that the first transistor T1 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, the low level of the first constant voltage signal VGL is output to the node N2, the node N1 and the first end of the first capacitor C1, and the high level of the signal output by the previous level signal output terminal STV is output to the node N3, the second node P and the first end of the second capacitor C2; since the node N3 is at a high level, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off. Since the second clock signal CK is at a high level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned off, and the first node Q maintains the high level at the second stage t2. Since the node N1 is at a low level, the third transistor T3 is turned on, and the high level of the second clock signal CK is output to the second end of the first capacitor C1. Since the node N2 is at a low level and the second node P is at a high level, the ninth transistor T9 is turned off, the tenth transistor T10 is turned on, and the high level of the second constant voltage signal VGH is output to the second end of the second capacitor C2. At this time, since the twelfth transistor T12 is turned off, the third node K maintains the low level at the second stage t2, and the low level of the first constant voltage signal VGL is output to the signal output terminal OUT of this stage.

[0074] Combination Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, in the fourth stage t4, the first clock signal XCK is at a high level and the second clock signal CK is at a low level, thereby controlling the first transistor T1, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, the ninth transistor T9, the eleventh transistor T11 and the thirteenth transistor T13 to be turned off, and the remaining transistors to be turned on.

[0075] Specifically, the second node P maintains a high level at the third stage t3 due to the existence of the second capacitor C2, and the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off. Since the second clock signal CK is at a low level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on. Since the node N1 is at a low level, the third transistor T3 is turned on, and the low level of the second clock signal CK is output to the second end of the first capacitor C1 and the first node Q. At this time, the second end of the first capacitor C1 jumps from the high level at the third stage t3 to the low level, and the first capacitor C1 bootstraps the potential of the node N1. Since the node N2 is at a low level, the second node P is at a high level, so that the ninth transistor T9 is turned off, the tenth transistor T10 is turned on, and the high level of the second constant voltage signal VGH is output to the second end of the second capacitor C2. At this time, since the twelfth transistor T12 is turned on, the third node K is at a high level, and the high level of the second constant voltage signal VGH is output to the signal output terminal OUT of this level.

[0076] Combination Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, in the fifth stage t5, the first clock signal XCK is at a low level, and the second clock signal CK is at a high level, thereby controlling the fourth transistor T4, the eleventh transistor T11, the twelfth transistor T12, and the fourteenth transistor T14 to be turned off, and the remaining transistors to be turned on.

[0077] Specifically, the first clock signal XCK is at a low level, so that the first transistor T1 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, the low level of the first constant voltage signal VGL is output to the node N2, the node N1 and the first end of the first capacitor C1, and the low level of the signal output by the previous signal output terminal STV is output to the node N3, the second node P and the first end of the second capacitor C2. At this time, the twelfth transistor T12 is turned off, that is, the second node P is disconnected from the third node K, so that the second capacitor C2 can be charged at this time. After the second node P reaches a stable state, the potential of the second node P is output to the third node K, so that the output does not have a falling delay. The low level of the second node P is output to the first end of the second capacitor C2. The high level of the second clock signal CK and the high level of the second constant voltage signal VGH are output to the second end of the second capacitor C2.

[0078] It should be noted that, by adding the twelfth transistor T12, the present application can shield the influence of the charging of the second capacitor C2, and the gate of the twelfth transistor T12 is synchronized with the source of the seventh transistor T7, avoiding the use of the bootstrap effect of the second capacitor C2 to open the thirteenth transistor T13, thereby ensuring normal output. In addition, in terms of the width-to-length ratio setting of the transistor, the width-to-length ratio of the twelfth transistor T12 is similar to the width-to-length ratio of the ninth transistor T9, W / L=3.7u / 4.2u, where w represents the width of the transistor and L represents the length of the transistor. At the same time, special attention should be paid to the capacitance design of the fourth capacitor C4. When the RC load of the GOA unit load is small, for example, the RC load of the GOA unit is less than 10pF, and the capacitance value of the fourth capacitor C4 is 300fF; when the RC load of the GOA unit is greater than 10pF, or even reaches 30pF or 50pF, the capacitance value of the fourth capacitor C4 is less than 200fF, which can reduce the influence of the RC load on the third node K, avoid the voltage of the third node K being too high, and the third node K cannot normally open the thirteenth transistor T13.

[0079] See also Fig.10 , Fig.10 for Figure 1 Another complete circuit schematic diagram of the GOA unit 100 is shown.
