[0056] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the shift register, the gate drive circuit, the display substrate, the display device and the gate drive method provided by the present application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0057] The terms "first", "second", and similar terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure do not indicate any order, number or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, the terms "comprise" or "include" and similar terms mean that the elements or objects before the terms cover the elements or objects listed after the terms and their equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects. The terms "connect" or "connected" and similar terms are not limited to physical or mechanical coupling, but can include electrical coupling, whether direct or indirect.
[0058] The transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments, the coupling mode of the drain and the source of each transistor can be interchangeable, so the drain and the source of each transistor in the embodiments of the present disclosure are actually indistinguishable. Here, only to distinguish the two poles of the transistor other than the control pole (i.e. the gate), one pole is called the drain and the other pole is called the source. The thin film transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be N-type transistors or P-type transistors. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when N-type thin film transistors are used, the first pole can be the source and the second pole can be the drain. The "effective level" in the present disclosure refers to the level that can control the conduction of the corresponding transistor, and the "non-effective level" in the present disclosure refers to the level that can control the cut-off of the corresponding transistor. For N-type transistors, the effective level is high and the non-effective level is low; for P-type transistors, the effective level is low and the non-effective level is high. In the following embodiments, N-type thin film transistors are taken as an example for description, i.e. when the signal of the control pole is high, the thin film transistor is turned on; it can be conceived that when P-type transistors are used, the timing change of the drive signal needs to be adjusted accordingly. The specific details are not described here, but should be within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0059] In the related art, in order to realize the noise reduction of the driving output end of the shift register unit, a pull-down control circuit and a pull-down node are generally arranged inside the shift register. The pull-down control circuit can adjust the potential of the pull-down node, and the driving output circuit can write a non-active level signal into the driving output end in response to the control of the pull-down node to reduce the noise of the driving output end. However, in actual application, it is found that after the driving output end outputs a driving signal, the pull-down node is controlled by the pull-down control circuit to maintain an active level state, so that the driving output circuit continuously writes a non-active level signal into the driving output end. Although this technical means achieves the purpose of reducing the noise of the driving output end, the transistor (hereinafter referred to as "noise reduction transistor") connected between the control electrode in the driving output circuit and the pull-down node will be in a high-voltage conduction state for a long time, which will cause the electrical characteristics of the noise reduction transistor to drift seriously, and the service life of the noise reduction transistor will be greatly reduced.
[0060] In order to solve the problem that the service life of the noise reduction transistor is reduced due to the long time of the noise reduction transistor in the high-voltage conduction state, the pull-down control circuit is improved in the related art, that is, the pull-down control circuit alternately writes an active level signal and a non-active level signal into the pull-down node after the driving output end outputs a driving signal. When the pull-down control circuit writes an active level signal into the pull-down node, the noise reduction transistor is turned on and writes a non-active level signal into the driving output end to achieve the purpose of reducing the noise of the driving output end. When the pull-down control circuit writes a non-active level signal into the pull-down node, the noise reduction transistor is switched to an off state. In this way, the noise reduction of the driving output end can be realized while avoiding the long time of the noise reduction transistor in the high-voltage conduction state. However, this technical solution of alternately writing an active level signal and a non-active level signal into the pull-down node by the pull-down control circuit brings new technical problems in actual application.
[0061] Figure 1 A circuit structure diagram of a shift register unit involved in the related art, Figure 2 A working timing diagram of a shift register unit involved in the related art in an ideal state, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shift register unit involved in the related art includes a pre-charge reset circuit, a pull-down control circuit and a driving output circuit. The pre-charge reset circuit is connected with a pull-up node PU, the pull-down control circuit is connected with the pull-up node PU and a pull-down node PD, the driving output circuit is connected with the pull-up node PU, the pull-down node PD, a clock signal input end and a driving output end OUTPUT, and the driving output circuit is provided with an output transistor MO, a noise reduction transistor MD and a capacitor C. Taking the output transistor MO and the noise reduction transistor MD as N-type transistors as an example.
[0062] The working process of the shift register unit generally includes a pre-charge phase t_1, an output phase t_2, a reset phase t_3 and a noise reduction phase t_4. In the pre-charge phase t_1, the pre-charge reset circuit pre-charges the pull-up node PU, so that the pull-up node PU is in a high level state, at this time the output transistor MO is turned on, and the output transistor MO writes the low level signal provided by the clock signal input end CLK to the driving output end OUTPUT; in the output phase t_2, the clock signal input end CLK first provides a high level signal, and then provides a low level signal, wherein when the clock signal input end CLK first provides a high level signal, the output transistor MO writes the high level signal provided by the clock signal input end CLK to the driving output end OUTPUT, and the driving output end OUTPUT outputs a driving signal in a high level state, at this time the voltage at the pull-up node PU is pulled up to a higher level due to the bootstrap effect of the capacitor C, and when the clock signal input end CLK provides a low level, the output transistor MO writes the low level signal provided by the clock signal input end CLK to the driving output end OUTPUT, and the driving output end OUTPUT outputs a low level signal. In the reset phase t_3, the pre-charge reset circuit resets the pull-up node PU, so that the pull-up node PU is in a low level state, at this time the output transistor MO is cut off, and the pull-down control circuit also maintains the pull-down node PD in a low level state, and the noise reduction transistor is also cut off, and the driving output end OUTPUT is in a floating state to maintain a low level; in the noise reduction phase t_4, the pull-down control circuit controls the voltage at the pull-down node PD to switch between high level and low level to control the noise reduction transistor to switch between on and off states, and when the noise reduction transistor is in the on state, the low level voltage can be written to the driving output end OUTPUT to reduce the noise of the driving output end OUTPUT.
[0063] Figure 3 For a working timing diagram of the shift register unit involved in the related art in the actual working state, Figure 4 For a comparison diagram of the pull-up node and the driving output end corresponding to the timing in the related art shift register unit in the ideal state and the actual working state, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the actual working process of the shift register unit involved in the related art, during the output phase t_2 and when the clock signal input end CLK provides a high level signal, the voltage at the pull-up node PU is high due to the bootstrap effect of the capacitor C, and because the pull-up node PU is connected to a large number of transistors, there is obvious leakage at the pull-up node PU at this time, which causes the voltage at the pull-up node PU to drop.
[0064] Assuming that the voltage at the pull-up node PU is VGH at the pre-charge node, the high level signal and the low level signal provided by the clock signal input terminal CLK correspond to the voltages VGH and VGL respectively, at the initial moment of the output stage t_2 and the clock signal input terminal CLK providing the high level signal, the voltage at the pull-up node PU will be pulled up to the level of 2*VGH-VGL. Assuming that the voltage drop △V at the pull-up node PU due to the leakage current in the period of the clock signal input terminal CLK providing the high level signal, at the end of the output stage t_2, the voltage at the pull-up node PU is 2*VGH-VGL-△V. Thereafter, the clock signal input terminal CLK is switched from providing the high level signal to providing the low level signal, and the voltage of the driving output terminal OUTPUT starts to drop, under the action of the capacitor C, the voltage at the pull-up node PU will also be pulled down, wherein the voltage at the pull-up node PU will be pulled down to the level of VGH first, and then continue to drop. In theory, when the voltage of the driving output terminal OUTPUT drops from VGH to VGL, the voltage at the pull-up node PU will be pulled down from 2*VGH-VGL-△V to VGH-△V. However, when△V is too large and VGH-△V is less than VGL+Vth (Vth is the threshold voltage of the output transistor MO, Vth≥0), then the output transistor MO will be in the off state after the voltage at the pull-up node PU drops from 2*VGH-VGL-△V to VGL+Vth, and the voltage of the driving output terminal OUTPUT at this time is 2*VGL-VGH+△V+Vth, since VGH-△V<VGL+Vth, 2*VGL-VGH+△V+Vth>VGL.
[0065] That is, at the end of the output stage t_2 and in the reset stage t_3, the voltage of the driving output terminal OUTPUT will be in a state greater than VGL, specifically equal to 2*VGL-VGH+△V+Vth, and the larger△V is, the larger 2*VGL-VGH+△V+Vth is. As can be seen, when the leakage current is too large, making△V too large, there is a risk that the driving output terminal OUTPUT outputs a high level voltage (lower than VGH, but higher than the threshold voltage of some transistors connected to the control electrode and the driving output terminal OUTPUT) in the reset stage t_3, thereby causing the shift register unit to be overcharged in the reset stage t_3.
[0066] To effectively improve the above technical problems, the technical scheme of the present disclosure provides a corresponding solution. Figure 5 A circuit structure diagram of a shift register unit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 5 As shown, the shift register unit comprises a first pre-charge reset circuit 1, a first pull-down control circuit 2, a first driving output circuit 3 and a first output reset circuit 4.

[0068] The first pull-down control circuit 2 is connected with the first pull-up node PU1, the first pull-down node PD1, the second power supply end, the third power supply end, and the fourth power supply end. The first pull-down control circuit 2 is configured to write the effective level signal to the first pull-down node PD1 when the third power supply end provides the effective level signal and the voltage at the first pull-up node PU1 is in the non-effective level state, and write the non-effective level signal to the first pull-down node PD1 when the fourth power supply end provides the effective level signal or when the first pull-up node PU1 is in the effective level state.

The first output reset circuit 4 is configured to write the voltage provided by the fifth power supply end to the first drive output end OUTPUT1 in response to the control of the effective level signal provided by the first reset signal input end RST1.
[0071] Similar to the working process of the shift register unit in the related art, the working process of the shift register unit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure also includes a pre-charge phase t_1, an output phase t_2, a reset phase t_3, and a noise reduction phase t_4.
[0072] In the pre-charge phase t_1, the first pre-charge reset circuit 1 writes the voltage provided by the first power supply end to the first pull-up node PU1 in response to the control of the effective level signal provided by the first cascaded signal input end INPUT1, so as to pre-charge the first pull-up node PU1.
[0073] In the output stage t_2, the first driving output circuit 3 writes the signal provided by the first clock signal input end to the first driving output end OUTPUT1 in response to the control of the valid level signal at the first pull-up node PU1.

[0075] In the noise reduction stage t_4, the first pull-down control circuit 2 writes the valid level signal to the first pull-down node PD1 when the third power supply end provides the valid level signal and the voltage at the first pull-up node PU1 is in the non-valid level state, and writes the non-valid level signal to the first pull-down node PD1 when the fourth power supply end provides the valid level signal.
[0076] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case that the first pull-down control circuit 2 capable of alternately outputting the valid level signal and the non-valid level signal to the pull-down node is arranged in the shift register unit, the first output reset circuit 4 is additionally arranged, and the voltage provided by the fifth power supply end (the voltage VGL2 provided by the fifth power supply end) is written to the first driving output end OUTPUT1 by the first output reset circuit 4 in the reset stage t_3, so as to reset the first driving output end OUTPUT1, so that the voltage of the first driving output end OUTPUT1 can quickly reach VGL2 after entering the reset stage t_3, thereby avoiding the problem of incorrect charging of the shift register unit in the reset stage t_3.
[0077] In some embodiments, the first output reset circuit 4 comprises a fourth transistor M4, the control electrode of the fourth transistor M4 is connected with the first reset signal input end RST1, the first electrode of the fourth transistor M4 is connected with the first driving output end OUTPUT1, and the second electrode of the fourth transistor M4 is connected with the fifth power supply end.

[0100] Figure 7 For Figure 6 A working timing diagram of the shift register unit is shown in FIG. 4. The working process of the shift register unit includes a pre-charge phase t_1, an output phase t_2, a reset phase t_3 and a noise reduction phase t_4. Figure 7
[0101] In the pre-charge phase t_1, the first cascade signal input end INPUT1 provides a high level signal, the first reset signal input end RST1 provides a low level signal, the voltage V3 provided by the third power end is a low level voltage, the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power end is a high level voltage, and the first clock signal input end CLK provides a low level voltage.
[0102] In the pre-charge phase t_1, the first cascade signal input end INPUT1 provides a high level signal, the first reset signal input end RST1 provides a low level signal, the voltage V3 provided by the third power end is a low level voltage, the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power end is a high level voltage, and the first clock signal input end CLK provides a low level voltage.
[0103] The voltage V3 provided by the third power supply end is a low-level voltage, and the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply end is a high-level voltage, so the eighth transistor M8 is cut off, and the twelfth transistor M12 is turned on, and the low-level voltage VGL1 provided by the second power supply end is written to the first pull-down node PD1 through the twelfth transistor M12.
[0104] The first reset signal input end RST1 provides a low-level signal, so the second transistor M2 and the fourth transistor M4 are both cut off.
[0105] At this time, since the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, the low-level voltage provided by the first clock signal input end CLK is written to the first drive output end OUTPUT1 through the fifth transistor M5, and the first drive output end OUTPUT1 outputs a low level.
[0106] In the output stage t_2, the first cascade signal input end INPUT1 provides a low-level signal, the first reset signal input end RST1 provides a low-level signal, the voltage V3 provided by the third power supply end is a high-level voltage, the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply end is a low-level voltage, and the first clock signal input end CLK provides a high-level voltage.
[0107] The first cascade signal input end INPUT1 and the first reset signal input end RST1 both provide low-level signals, so the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2 and the fourth transistor M4 are all cut off. At this time, the first pull-up node PU1 is in a floating state (Floating), and the fifth transistor M5, the ninth transistor M9 and the eleventh transistor M11 are all maintained in a turned-on state.
[0108] The voltage V3 provided by the third power supply end is a high-level voltage, but since the ninth transistor M9 is in a turned-on state, the first pull-down control node PNC1 maintains a low-level state, at this time, the eighth transistor M8 is equivalent to a resistor, and the tenth transistor M10 is maintained in a cut-off state. The voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply end is a low-level voltage, so the twelfth transistor M12 is in a cut-off state. But since the eleventh transistor M11 is in a turned-on state, the low-level voltage VGL1 provided by the second power supply end is written to the first pull-down node PD1 through the eleventh transistor M11, so the first pull-down node PD1 maintains a low-level state.
[0109] Since the fifth transistor M5 is maintained in the on state, the high level voltage provided by the first clock signal input terminal CLK is written to the first drive output terminal OUTPUT1 through the fifth transistor M5, and the first drive output terminal OUTPUT1 outputs a high level. At this time, since the first pull-up node PU1 is in a floating state, when the voltage at the first drive output terminal OUTPUT1 rises from a low level state to a high level state, the voltage at the first pull-up node PU1 will be pulled up to a higher level state under the bootstrap action of the first capacitor C1. At this time, since the voltage at the first pull-up node PU1 (about 2VGH-VGL) is too high, there will be obvious leakage at the first pull-up node PU1; for example, the first pull-up node PU1 will generate leakage through the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2.
[0110] At the end of the output stage t_2, the voltage provided by the first clock signal input terminal CLK decreases from a high level voltage to a low level voltage, and at this time the voltage at the first drive output terminal OUTPUT1 will also decrease accordingly; at the same time, the voltage at the first pull-up node PU1 also begins to decrease under the pull-down action of the first capacitor C1. Based on the above analysis, it can be seen that during the process of the voltage at the first pull-up node PU1 following the voltage at the first drive output terminal OUTPUT1, the voltage at the first drive output terminal OUTPUT1 may not decrease to VGL (the low level voltage provided by the first clock signal input terminal CLK), but the voltage at the first pull-up node PU1 reaches VGL+Vth, thereby causing the fifth transistor M5 to turn off in advance, and at this time the low level voltage VGL provided by the first clock signal input terminal CLK cannot be written to the first drive output terminal OUTPUT1.
[0111] In the reset stage t_3, the first cascade signal input terminal INPUT1 provides a low level signal, the first reset signal input terminal RST1 provides a high level signal, the voltage V3 provided by the third power supply terminal is a low level voltage, the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply terminal is a high level voltage, and the first clock signal input terminal CLK provides a low level voltage.
[0112] The first cascade signal input terminal INPUT1 provides a low level signal, and the first reset signal input terminal RST1 provides a high level signal, so the first transistor M1 is maintained in the off state, and the second transistor M2 and the fourth transistor M4 are both in the on state. The low level voltage VGL1 provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the first pull-up node PU1 through the second transistor M2, and the first pull-up node PU1 is in a low level state, and the fifth transistor M5 is in the off state.
[0113] The voltage V3 provided by the third power supply end is a low-level voltage, and the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply end is a high-level voltage, so that the eighth transistor M8 is cut off, the twelfth transistor M12 is turned on, and the low-level voltage VGL1 provided by the second power supply end is written to the first pull-down node PD1 through the twelfth transistor M12. The ninth transistor M9, the eleventh transistor M11 and the tenth transistor M10 are all in the cut-off state.
[0114] At this time, since the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, the low-level voltage VGL2 provided by the fifth power supply end is written to the first drive output end OUTPUT1 through the fourth transistor M4, and the first drive output end OUTPUT1 outputs a low-level signal.
[0115] The technical solution of the present disclosure can ensure that the first drive output end OUTPUT1 always outputs a low-level signal at the reset stage t_3 by setting the first output reset circuit 4, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of incorrect charging caused by the fact that the fifth transistor M5 is turned off in advance before the reset stage t_3, and the drive output end outputs a high-level voltage at the reset stage t_3. As can be seen, the technical solution of the present disclosure can effectively improve the output stability of the shift register unit.
[0116] At the noise reduction stage t_4, the first cascade signal input end INPUT1 provides a low-level signal, the first reset signal input end RST1 provides a low-level signal, and the third power supply end and the fourth power supply end alternately provide a high-level voltage.
[0117] Specifically, the noise reduction stage t_4 includes a first sub-stage t_4a and a second sub-stage t_4b alternately performed.
[0118] At the first sub-stage t_4a, the voltage V3 provided by the third power supply end is a high-level voltage, and the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply end is a low-level voltage.
[0119] Since the first cascade signal input end INPUT1 provides a low-level signal, and the first reset signal input end RST1 provides a low-level signal, the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are both maintained in the cut-off state. The voltage at the first pull-up node PU1 is maintained in a low-level state, and the fifth transistor M5, the ninth transistor M9 and the eleventh transistor M11 are all cut off.
[0120] Since the voltage V3 provided by the third power supply end is a high-level voltage, the high-level voltage provided by the third power supply end can be written to the first pull-down control node PNC1 through the eighth transistor M8, the first pull-down control node PNC1 is in a high-level state, the tenth transistor M10 is turned on, and the high-level voltage provided by the third power supply end is written to the first pull-down node PD1 through the tenth transistor M10, the first pull-down node PD1 is in a high-level state, and the third transistor M3 and the sixth transistor M6 are both turned on. At this time, the low-level voltage VGL1 provided by the second power supply end is written to the first pull-up node PU1 through the third transistor M3 to perform noise reduction on the first pull-up node PU1. At the same time, the low-level voltage VGL2 provided by the fifth power supply end is written to the first drive output end OUTPUT1 through the sixth transistor M6, and the first drive output end OUTPUT1 maintains output low level.
[0121] In the second sub-stage t_4b, the voltage V3 provided by the third power supply end is a low-level voltage, and the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply end is a high-level voltage.
[0122] Since the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply end is a high-level voltage, the twelfth transistor M12 is turned on, the low-level voltage VGL1 provided by the second power supply end is written to the first pull-down node PD1 through the twelfth transistor M12, the first pull-down node PD1 is in a low-level state, and the third transistor M3 and the sixth transistor M6 are both maintained in a cut-off state. At this time, the first drive output end OUTPUT1 is in a floating state to maintain the output low level.
[0123] Based on Figure 7 It can be seen that the voltage at the first pull-down node PD1 is in a high-level state in the first sub-stage and in a low-level state in the second sub-stage, that is, the sixth transistor M6 will be turned on in the first sub-stage and turned off in the second sub-stage, that is, the sixth transistor M6 will be switched between the on state and the off state in the noise reduction stage t_4, which can effectively avoid the problem of serious threshold voltage drift caused by the sixth transistor M6 being in a single state for a long time.
[0124] In the related art, the first drive output circuit 3 is not only used to provide a drive signal for the corresponding gate line in the display panel, but also used to provide a cascading signal for other shift registers of the adjacent stage, at this time, the first drive output end OUTPUT1 of the first drive output circuit 3 has a large load, which is easy to cause problems such as signal delay and large noise at the first drive output end OUTPUT1. In order to effectively improve the problem of large load at the first drive output end OUTPUT1 in the related art, the present disclosure provides a corresponding solution.
[0125] Figure 8Another circuit structure diagram of the shift register unit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 6, which is different from the previous embodiments in that Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 6, the shift register unit includes not only the first driving output circuit 3 but also a first cascaded output circuit 6. Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 6, the shift register unit includes not only the first driving output circuit 3 but also a first cascaded output circuit 6.
[0126] The first cascaded output circuit 6 is connected with the first pull-up node PU1, the first pull-down node PD1, the first clock signal input terminal CLK, the second power supply terminal and the first cascaded output terminal CR1, and is configured to write the signal provided by the first clock signal input terminal CLK to the first cascaded output terminal CR1 in response to the control of the valid level signal at the first pull-up node PU1, and write the voltage provided by the fifth power supply terminal to the first cascaded output terminal CR1 in response to the control of the valid level signal at the first pull-down node PD1.
[0127] In some embodiments, the first cascaded output circuit 6 includes a fifteenth transistor M15 and a sixteenth transistor M16. The control electrode of the fifteenth transistor M15 is connected with the first pull-up node PU1, the first electrode of the fifteenth transistor M15 is connected with the first clock signal input terminal CLK, and the second electrode of the fifteenth transistor M15 is connected with the first cascaded output terminal CR1.

[0128] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first driving output terminal OUTPUT1 of the first driving output circuit 3 can be used to provide a driving signal to the corresponding gate line in the display panel, and the first cascaded output terminal CR1 of the first cascaded output circuit 6 can be used to provide a cascaded signal to other shift registers of the adjacent stage; in this way, the load at the first driving output terminal OUTPUT1 can be effectively reduced, which is conducive to reducing the signal delay and noise at the first driving output terminal OUTPUT1.
[0129] Figure 9 Another circuit structure diagram of the shift register unit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 6, which is different from the previous embodiments in that Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 6, the shift register unit includes not only the first driving output circuit 3 but also a first cascaded output circuit 6.
[0130] In some embodiments, the third pull-down control circuit 7 comprises a thirteenth transistor M13, a control electrode of the thirteenth transistor M13 is connected with the first cascade signal input end INPUT1, a first electrode of the thirteenth transistor M13 is connected with the first pull-down node PD1, and a second electrode of the thirteenth transistor M13 is connected with the second power supply end.
[0131] The third pull-down control circuit 7 works in the pre-charge stage (the thirteenth transistor M13 is in the on state in the pre-charge stage) to write the second working voltage VGL1 provided by the second power supply end to the first pull-down node PD1.
[0132] Before the pre-charge stage of the current cycle, the first sub-stage of the noise reduction stage of the previous cycle (the voltage V3 provided by the third power supply end is a high voltage, and the voltage V4 provided by the fourth power supply end is a low voltage), that is, at the initial moment of entering the pre-charge stage of the current cycle, the voltage at the first pull-down node PD1 is high. In order to make the voltage at the first pull-down node PD1 drop to a low state quickly after entering the pre-charge stage (to prevent the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 from being on at the same time), the third pull-down control circuit 7 is added. Under the joint action of the third pull-down control circuit 7 (the thirteenth transistor M13) and the third pull-down sub-circuit (the twelfth transistor M12), the voltage at the first pull-down node PD1 can drop to a low state quickly after entering the pre-charge stage; that is, the sixth transistor M6 will be in the off state quickly after entering the pre-charge stage, so as to avoid the situation that the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 are on at the same time in the pre-charge stage.
[0133] In some embodiments, the shift register unit further comprises a first global reset circuit 8, the first global reset circuit 8 is connected with the global reset signal input end TRST, the second power supply end and the first pull-up node PU1, and the first global reset circuit 8 is configured to write the voltage provided by the second power supply end to the first pull-up node PU1 in response to the control of the effective level signal provided by the global reset signal input end TRST.

[0135] Generally, the first global reset circuit 8 will provide an effective level signal before the end of a frame and the beginning of the next frame, so as to globally reset the pull-up nodes of each shift register unit in the gate drive circuit.
