[0044] The embodiments of the present application provide a gate drive circuit, by adding a second leakage prevention unit in at least one gate drive unit, the second leakage prevention unit is connected to at least one of the pull-down unit, the first pull-down maintaining unit and the global reset unit, so that when the threshold voltage of the transistor in the pull-down unit, the first pull-down maintaining unit and the global reset unit is negative, the second leakage prevention unit can turn off at least one transistor in the pull-down unit, the first pull-down maintaining unit and the global reset unit when the first node is at a high potential, so that the turned-off transistor cannot leak electricity, thereby reducing the leakage current of the first node, and enabling the display panel to display normally.

[0045] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The point marked by a black dot in the figure represents that the two lines cross at the point and are conductive at the point, but Figure 1 All the conductive points are not marked in the figure, and the actual connection is described in the following embodiments.

[0046] It should be noted that, Figure 1 N[n] in the figure comprises a plurality of connection terminals, but in actuality, the plurality of connection terminals of N[n] are a point, in order to facilitate the display and description, N[n] is divided into a plurality of connection terminals, and in actuality, the plurality of connection terminals are the same point.

[0047] It should be noted that, Figure 1 A plurality of signal terminals in the figure adopt the same reference numerals, for example, the second-stage transmission signal terminal Cout-PU comprises a plurality of signal terminals with the same reference numerals, but in actuality, the signal terminals with the same reference numerals are the same signal terminal, Figure 1 In order to facilitate the display and description of the connection of each element in the circuit, each connection

[0048] terminal is separately shown in the figure, in actuality, the signal terminals with the same reference numerals are the same signal terminal, for example, Figure 1 All the Cout-PU in the figure are the second-stage transmission signal terminals, and similarly, the signal terminals with the same reference numerals are the same signal terminal.

[0049] For the stage that the potential of the first node is pulled up in the gate drive unit provided with the first anti-creeping unit, the transistor in the first anti-creeping unit has not been turned on, which will cause the problem of creeping of the transistor connected with the first node. In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The second anti-creeping unit 18 includes

[0050] The second stage signal terminal Cout-PU and the anti-creeping transistor Tn, the gate of the anti-creeping transistor Tn is connected with the second stage signal terminal Cout-PU, the first electrode of the anti-creeping transistor Tn is connected with the first low potential signal terminal VGL1, and the second electrode of the anti-creeping transistor Tn is connected with the second gate of the transistor in at least one of the pull-down unit 13, the first pull-down maintaining unit 14 and the global reset unit 16. By setting the anti-creeping transistor and designing the transistor in the pull-down unit, the first pull-down maintaining unit and the global reset unit, the first electrode of the anti-creeping transistor is connected with the first low potential signal terminal, and the second electrode of the anti-creeping transistor is connected with the second gate of the transistor in at least one of the pull-down unit, the first pull-down maintaining unit and the global reset unit, so that when the high potential is input to the first node, the transistor in at least one of the pull-down unit, the first pull-down maintaining unit and the global reset unit is closed, thereby avoiding the problem of creeping of the first node when the transistor in the first anti-creeping unit is not turned on.

[0051] It should be noted that each unit in the embodiments of the present application will include a signal terminal, for example, the second anti-creeping unit 18 includes the second stage signal terminal Cout-PU, but it can be understood that each signal terminal will exist in multiple units, each signal terminal can be regarded as a component of each unit, or each signal terminal can be regarded as an independent element which does not belong to the component of each unit, the embodiments of the present application will limit whether each signal terminal belongs to each unit for the convenience of description, but in practice, each signal terminal is not limited to belong to a specific unit.

[0052] Specifically, taking Figure 1 as an example, from Figure 1It can be seen that when the second anti-creeping unit is not set, the second-stage transmission signal terminal Cout-PU outputs a high potential, pulls up the potential of the first node Q[n], the third-stage transmission signal terminal Cout-PD is a low potential, and the transistor in the pull-down unit is in a closed state. However, due to the threshold voltage negative bias of the transistor, the voltage difference between the gate voltage Vg and the source voltage Vs is greater than the threshold voltage, at this time, the transistor in the first anti-creeping unit 15 has not opened, the first anti-creeping unit 15 cannot prevent the creeping, the anti-creeping unit is invalid, and the first node Q[n] creeps. By setting the second anti-creeping unit, the second anti-creeping unit controls the anti-creeping transistor Tn by using the second-stage transmission signal terminal Cout-PU. When the potential of the first node Q[n] is pulled up, the anti-creeping transistor Tn can be opened and input a low potential to close the transistor in the pull-down unit, so as to prevent the creeping. After the potential of the first node Q[n] is pulled up, the output end N[n] of the first anti-creeping unit outputs a high potential. Even if there is a threshold voltage negative bias, the voltage difference between the gate voltage Vg and the source voltage Vs can still be ensured to be less than the threshold voltage, so as to prevent the pull-down unit from being abnormally opened to cause the first node Q[n] to creep.

[0053] The above embodiment takes the pull-down unit in the embodiment of the present application as an example to prevent the creeping, and it can be understood that the principle of preventing the creeping is the same for other circuit units connected with the second anti-creeping unit, which will not be described herein.

[0054] In view of the problem that the transistor in the pull-down unit creeps before the first anti-creeping unit works. In an embodiment, the second electrode of the anti-creeping transistor is connected with the second gate of at least one transistor in the pull-down unit. By connecting the second electrode of the anti-creeping transistor with the second gate of at least one transistor in the pull-down unit, when the potential of the first node is pulled up, the anti-creeping transistor inputs a low potential to the gate of at least one transistor in the pull-down unit, so as to close at least one transistor in the pull-down unit, so as to reduce the current of the first node, avoid the invalidation of the anti-creeping unit, make the gate drive circuit normally output a signal, and make the display panel normally display.

[0055] In an embodiment, the first transistor includes a first gate and a second gate. When the first transistor is set, two gates can be arranged on both sides of the active pattern of the first transistor, and the two gates are connected to different signal terminals respectively to obtain a first transistor with a double-gate structure.

When the second transistor is set, two gates can be arranged on both sides of the active pattern of the second transistor, and the two gates are connected to different signal terminals respectively to obtain a second transistor with a double-gate structure.

[0057] Specifically, for the transistor of double gate structure, taking the N-type transistor as an example, the potential of any one of the two gates can be high, that is, the transistor can be controlled to be turned on, and when the potential of the two gates is low, the transistor can be controlled to be turned off, which will not be described in the following embodiments. In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The pull-down unit 13 includes a first transistor T41, a second transistor T42 and a third level transmission signal end Cout-PD. The first gate of the first transistor T41 and the first gate of the second transistor T42 are connected with the third level transmission signal end Cout-PD. The first electrode of the first transistor T41 is connected with the first node Q[n]. The second electrode of the first transistor T41 and the second electrode of the second transistor T42 are connected with the output end N[n] of the first leakage prevention unit 15. The first electrode of the second transistor T42 is connected with the first low potential signal end VGL1. The second electrode of the leakage prevention transistor Tn is connected to the second gate of at least one of the first transistor T41 and the second transistor T42.
