[0120] The technical solutions in the some embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0121] Unless otherwise required by context, the term "comprise" and its other forms such as "comprises" and "comprising" are to be construed as open, inclusive, meaning that "comprising" means "including but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example", "specific example" or "some examples" are intended to mean that the particular feature, structure, material or characteristic associated with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The illustrative representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be included in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0122] Hereinafter, the terms "first", "second" are used only for the purpose of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.
[0123] In describing some embodiments, "electrically connected" and "connected" and their derivatives can be used. For example, the term "point connection" can be used in describing some embodiments to indicate that two or more components have direct physical or electrical contact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the content herein.
[0124] "A and / or B" includes the following three combinations: only A, only B, and a combination of A and B.
[0125] The use of "configured to" herein is meant "open and inclusive," in that a device or pieces of equipment that are configured to perform additional tasks or steps are encompassed by the device.
[0126] Additionally, the use of "based on" is meant to be open and inclusive, in that a process, step, calculation, or other action that is "based on" one or more recited conditions or values can be based on additional conditions or values beyond those recited.
[0127] In describing some embodiments, the use of "coupled" and "connected," and variations thereof, is intended to indicate either a direct electrical connection between two or more components or an indirect electrical connection through one or more additional components. For example, any of the components described herein could be directly or indirectly coupled to or connected with any of the other components by way of one or more buses and buses could be shared between multiple components—returning to the example of a bus, the bus that is shared could provide signals to one component generalized to a bus shared between components or the bus that is shared could provide return signal information from one component generalized to a bus shared between components. In contrast, the use of "coupled" can also mean that two or more components do not contact each other, but are mutually coordinated—each component acting independently and not in physical contact with each other. Herein "coupled" includes the two aforementioned meanings, in terms of either a direct physical connection or an indirect connection through one or more additional components.
[0128] In describing some embodiments, the use of "active potential" and "inactive potential" is intended to indicate that the active potential is a potential that is applied to a control terminal of a transistor that enables a path between a first terminal of the transistor and a second terminal of the transistor, and the inactive potential is a potential that is applied to the control terminal of the transistor that does not enable the path between the first terminal of the transistor and the second terminal of the transistor.
[0129] The relationship between the "first clock signal" and the "first auxiliary clock signal" is that, in a working phase, the potential of the first auxiliary clock signal is opposite to the potential of the first clock signal; in a buffer phase between two adjacent working phases, the potential of the first auxiliary clock signal can be the same as or opposite to the potential of the first clock signal. For example, in a working phase, the potential of the first clock signal is a high potential, and the potential of the first auxiliary clock signal is a low potential. For another example, in a buffer phase, the potential of the first clock signal is a high potential, and the potential of the first auxiliary clock signal can be a high potential or a low potential.
[0130] Similarly, the relationship between the "second clock signal" and the "second auxiliary clock signal", the relationship between the "third clock signal" and the "third auxiliary clock signal", and the relationship between the "fourth clock signal" and the "fourth auxiliary clock signal" can be referred to the relationship between the "first clock signal" and the "first auxiliary clock signal", which will not be described herein.
[0131] As used herein, "approximately" or "about" includes the recited value and the average value within an acceptable range of deviation from the particular value, as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art considering the measurement in question and the error in measuring the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).
[0132] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional and / or plan view illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity. Accordingly, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, the exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an etched region illustrated as a rectangle will typically have rounded or curved features. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region of a device and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.
[0133] The shift register in the scan driving circuit is mainly composed of transistors, capacitors and the like. In the working process of the shift register, the potential of the internal control node is controlled by the transistors and capacitors, and then the output of the scan signal is realized.
[0134] In some embodiments, the scan driving circuit includes a plurality of low temperature poly-silicon thin film transistors (LTPS TFTs), and there are two poles of the LTPS TFTs respectively connected to signal ends providing signals with different potentials.
[0135] The present inventors have found that, due to the large electron mobility of the LTPS TFT, the leakage current thereof is also large. In the case that the two poles of the LTPS TFTs respectively receive signals with different potentials, even if the LTPS TFT is in an off state, leakage will occur between the two poles of the LTPS TFT, causing the internal circuit node potential to be unstable, and reducing the reliability of the display device.
[0136] Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a shift register, a scan driving circuit and a display device, which are introduced below respectively.
[0137] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a display device according to some embodiments. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the display device includes a scan driving circuit 100, a data driving circuit 200 and a display panel 300. Figure 1As shown, the display substrate 10 in the display device 1 includes a display region (i.e. pixel array region) AA and a peripheral region SA located at least one side of the display region AA, the display region AA includes: a plurality of rows and columns of sub-pixels P arranged in an array, a plurality of enable signal lines (EL1, …, ELi, …, ELm (i is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and m is an integer greater than or equal to i)) connected to the enable sub-circuits of the plurality of rows of sub-pixels P respectively, a plurality of reset signal lines (RL1, …, RLi, …, RLm) connected to the reset sub-circuits of the plurality of rows of sub-pixels P respectively, a plurality of first gate lines (GN1, …, GNi, …, GNm) connected to the compensation sub-circuits of the plurality of rows of sub-pixels P respectively, and a plurality of second gate lines (GP1, …, GPi, …, GPm) connected to the data writing sub-circuits of the plurality of rows of sub-pixels P respectively. For example, each sub-pixel P can include a pixel circuit having a circuit structure of 7T1C, 7T2C, 8T2C or 4T1C and a light emitting element in the art.
[0138] The peripheral region SA can include a first scan driving circuit 21 and a second scan driving circuit 22.
[0139] In some examples, the first scan driving circuit 21 can be connected to the plurality of enable signal lines EL1, EL2, …, ELi, …, ELm through a plurality of first connection traces 30 respectively, to provide enable signals to the enable sub-circuits of the plurality of rows of sub-pixels P respectively. Since the first scan driving circuit 21 is used to drive the enable sub-circuits of the sub-pixels P, the first scan driving circuit 21 can also be referred to as an enable gate scan driving circuit (EM GOA). Each first connection trace 30 and the enable signal line ELi connected thereto can be integrally formed, and in actual application, the width of the first connection trace 30 and the enable signal line ELi can be the same or different, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
[0140] In some examples, the second scan driving circuit 22 is located at the side of the first scan driving circuit 21 close to the display region AA, and is connected to the plurality of reset signal lines RL1, RL2, …, RLi, …, RLm through a plurality of second connection traces 40 respectively, to provide first reset signals to the first reset sub-circuits of the plurality of rows of sub-pixels P respectively. Each second connection trace 40 and the reset signal line RLi connected thereto can be integrally formed, and in actual application, the width of the second connection trace 40 and the reset signal line RLi can be the same or different, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
[0141] In some examples, the second scan driving circuit 22 can also be connected to multiple first gate lines GN1, ..., GNi, ..., GNm via multiple third connection traces 50, respectively, to provide first gate signals to the compensation sub-circuits of multiple rows of sub-pixels P. For example, the second scan driving circuit 22 provides first gate signals to the N-type transistors in sub-pixels P, therefore the second scan driving circuit 22 can also be called GATE GOA N, or simply GN. Each third connection trace 50 and the third gate scan signal line GNi connected thereto can be integrally formed. In practical applications, the widths of the third connection traces 50 and the third gate scan signal lines GNi can be the same or different, and this disclosure does not limit this.
[0142] In some examples, the peripheral area SA may also include a third scan driving circuit 23. The third scan driving circuit 23 is connected to multiple second gate lines GP1, ..., GPi, ..., GPm via multiple fourth connection traces 60, respectively, to provide second gate signals to the data writing sub-circuits of multiple rows of sub-pixels P. The second scan driving circuit 22 is located between the first scan driving circuit 21 and the third scan driving circuit 23, that is, the third scan driving circuit 23 is located on the side of the second scan driving circuit 22 closer to the display area 10. For example, the third scan driving circuit 23 provides second gate signals for the P-type transistors in the sub-pixel P, so the third scan driving circuit 23 can also be called GATE GOA P, or simply GP. Each fourth connection trace 60 and the second gate line GPi connected thereto can be integrally formed. In practical applications, the widths of the fourth connection traces 60 and the second gate lines GPi can be the same or different, and this disclosure does not limit this.
[0143] like Figure 1 As shown, data lines DL1 to DLn (n being an integer greater than 1) vertically pass through the display area AA to provide data signals for the multiple columns of sub-pixels P arranged in the array. For example, the pixel circuit in sub-pixels P operates under the control of the data signals transmitted through the data lines and the gate scan drive signal and enable signal transmitted through the gate lines to drive the light-emitting element to emit light, thereby realizing operations such as display. The light-emitting element can be, for example, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), and the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.
[0144] Figure 2 This is a circuit structure diagram of a sub-pixel according to some embodiments. For example... Figure 2 As shown, sub-pixel P includes a light-emitting element E and a pixel circuit M that drives the light-emitting element E to emit light.

The reset sub-circuit 74 further includes a second reset sub-circuit 742 including a second reset transistor BT7. For example, the first reset transistor BT1 and the compensation transistor BT2 are N-type transistors, and the data writing transistor BT4 and the second reset transistor BT7 are P-type transistors. The connection relationship and working principle of the pixel unit in the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely examples, and the pixel unit can also adopt other structures according to needs, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0150] A control electrode of the data write transistor BT4 is coupled with the second gate line GPi, a first electrode of the data write transistor BT4 is coupled with the data line Vdata, and a second electrode of the data write transistor BT4 is coupled with the second node S2. The data write transistor BT4 is configured to transmit a data signal provided by the data line Vdata to the second node S2 under control of a second gate signal provided by the second gate line GPi.

The first enable transistor BT5 is configured to transmit a first power supply signal provided by the first power supply end to the second node S2 under control of an enable signal provided by the enable signal line ELi.
[0152] A control electrode of the second enable transistor BT6 is coupled with the enable signal line ELi, a first electrode of the second enable transistor BT6 is coupled with the third node, and a second electrode of the second enable transistor BT6 is coupled with the fourth node. The second enable transistor BT6 is configured to form a path between the third node and the fourth node under control of an enable signal provided by the enable signal line ELi.
[0153] A control electrode of the second reset transistor BT7 is coupled with the second gate line GPi, a first electrode of the second reset transistor BT7 is coupled with the second initial signal line Vinit2, and a second electrode of the second reset transistor BT7 is coupled with the fourth node.

[0154] In some embodiments, any scan driving circuit includes a plurality of shift registers cascaded, and each shift register is configured to drive one or more rows of the sub-pixels P. Embodiments of the present disclosure are described by taking an example in which each shift register is configured to drive one row of the sub-pixels P, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0155] For example, the peripheral region can further include a first voltage signal line (not shown) and a second voltage signal line (not shown). Figure 1 Figure 1 The first voltage signal line is configured to provide a first voltage signal, and the second voltage signal line is configured to provide a second voltage signal. A potential value of the first voltage signal is less than a potential value of the second voltage signal. The first scan driving circuit 21 is coupled with the first voltage signal line to output the first voltage signal as a first part of the enable signal. For example, the first voltage signal line is connected with each of the plurality of first shift registers in the first scan driving circuit 21. The first part of the enable signal is, for example, a low potential part of the enable signal, which can enable the first enable transistor BT5 and the second enable transistor BT6 to be in a conductive state in the light emitting stage. The first scan driving circuit 21 is also coupled with the second voltage signal line to output the second voltage as a second part of the enable signal. For example, the second voltage signal line is coupled with each of the plurality of first shift registers in the first scan driving circuit 21. The second part of the enable signal is, for example, a high potential part of the enable signal, which can disable the first enable transistor BT5 and the second enable transistor BT6 to be in a non-conductive state in the light emitting stage.

[0228] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the first control circuit 160 includes a fifth transistor T5. A control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to a fifth control signal terminal K5. A first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the third output signal terminal S3.

The control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the first node N1. The first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the first clock signal terminal CLK1. The second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the second node N2. The fifth transistor T5 is configured to transmit a first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 to the second node N2 under control of the potential of the first node N1.

In a case where the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal terminal CLK3 is a low potential signal, the path between the first electrode of the first transistor T1 (coupled with the first clock signal terminal CLK1 through the fifth transistor T5) and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 (the second node N2) is blocked, so as to block the path between the first clock signal terminal CLK1 and the second node N2, so as to maintain the potential of the second node N2.

[0247] The first voltage signal line VGL', the first clock signal line CLK1', the third clock signal line CLK3', and the fourth clock signal line CLK4' all extend along the second direction Y and are spaced apart along the first direction X. The first voltage signal line VGL', the first clock signal line CLK1', the third clock signal line CLK3', and the fourth clock signal line CLK4' can be located on the same side of the shift register in the first direction X, and are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the shift register.

The first gate pattern 341 and the second gate pattern 342 of the first transistor T1 are coupled with the third clock signal terminal CLK3, respectively. For example, a source-drain metal pattern 360 is connected with the first gate pattern 341, the second gate pattern 342 and the third clock signal terminal CLK3, respectively, to realize the coupling of the first gate pattern 341 and the second gate pattern 342 of the first transistor T1 with the third clock signal terminal CLK3.
[0251] The first gate pattern 341 and the second gate pattern 342 of the first transistor T1 can be in direct contact with the third clock signal terminal CLK3 to realize the coupling with the third clock signal terminal CLK3. The first gate pattern 341 and the second gate pattern 342 of the first transistor T1 can also be coupled with the third clock signal terminal CLK3 through a via.
[0252] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 6, one source-drain metal pattern 360 is located on a side of the first gate pattern 341 and the second gate pattern 342 away from the substrate 300. The source-drain metal pattern 360 is coupled with the first gate pattern 341 through a third via H3 and coupled with the second gate pattern 342 through a fourth via H4. The third clock signal terminal CLK3 is coupled with the source-drain metal pattern through a third trace L3, thereby realizing the coupling with the first gate pattern and the second gate pattern.

[0256] As shown in FIG. 10, the first transistor T1 is located in an area surrounded by the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the ninth transistor T9. For example, the first transistor T1 is located at a central position of the area surrounded by the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the ninth transistor T9.

[0257] The first clock signal line CLK1', the fourth clock signal line CLK4', the fourth auxiliary clock signal line NCLK4', and the first voltage signal line VGL' all extend along the second direction Y and are spaced apart along the first direction X. The first voltage signal line VGL', the first clock signal line CLK1', the fourth clock signal line CLK4', and the fourth auxiliary clock signal line NCLK4' can be located on the same side of the shift register in the first direction X, and are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the shift register.
[0258] The second clock signal line CLK2' and the second voltage signal line VGH' both extend along the second direction Y and are spaced apart along the first direction X. The second clock signal line CLK2' and the second voltage signal line VGH' can be located on the other side of the shift register in the first direction X, and are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the shift register.
[0259] like Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register further includes a third output circuit 190 and a fourth output circuit 200.
[0260] The third output circuit 190 is coupled to the first voltage signal terminal VGL, the first node N1, and the second scan signal terminal. The third output circuit 190 is configured to transmit the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal terminal VGL to the second scan signal terminal under the control of the potential of the first node N1.
[0261] The fourth output circuit 200 is coupled to the second voltage signal terminal VGH, the first node N1, and the second scan signal terminal. The fourth output circuit 200 is configured to transmit the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH to the second scan signal terminal under the control of the potential of the first node N1.
[0262] In the embodiment, the shift register is a double-output shift register. That is, the shift register provides the first gate signal for the N-type transistor in the sub-pixel and provides the second gate signal for the P-type transistor in the sub-pixel. Exemplarily, the first scan signal end provides the first gate signal for the N-type transistor in the sub-pixel; and the second scan signal end provides the second gate signal for the P-type transistor in the sub-pixel.
[0263] In some examples, when the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential, the third output circuit 190 transmits the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal end VGL to the second scan signal end; and when the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, the fourth output circuit 200 transmits the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal end VGH to the second scan signal end.
[0264] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 17 The first output signal end S1S1 coupled with the first output circuit 120 can be the fourth clock signal end CLK4. That is, the first output circuit 120 transmits the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal end CLK4 to the first scan signal end under the control of the potential of the first node N1.
[0265] As shown in Figure 17 In some embodiments, the third output circuit 190 includes a function circuit 150. The first node N1 serves as a function control end. The first output circuit 120 is further configured to, under the control of the potential of the first node N1, block the path between the first voltage signal end VGL and the second scan signal end to maintain the potential of the second scan signal end.
[0266] That is, the function control end includes the first node N1, the function input end includes the first voltage end, and the function output end includes the second scan signal end. The circuit nodes include the first node N1, the second node N2, and the second scan signal end.
[0267] In some examples, the first output circuit 120 is configured to, when the potential of the first node N1 is at a valid potential (for example, a high potential), control the path between the first voltage signal end VGL and the second scan signal end to realize the transmission of the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal end VGL to the second scan signal end. The first output circuit 120 is further configured to, when the potential of the first node N1 is at an invalid potential (for example, a high potential), block the path between the first voltage signal end VGL and the second scan signal end to maintain the potential of the second scan signal end.
[0268] As shown in Figure 17 In some examples, the third output circuit 190 includes a sixth transistor T6, and the sixth transistor T6 includes an oxide transistor. The fourth output circuit 200 includes a seventh transistor T7.
[0269] The control electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the first node N1, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the first voltage signal terminal VGL, and the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the second scan signal terminal.
[0270] The control electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is coupled to the first node N1, the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is coupled to the second voltage signal terminal VGH, and the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is coupled to the second scan signal terminal.
[0271] In some examples, the sixth transistor T6 is an N-type transistor, and the seventh transistor T7 is a P-type transistor. When the potential of the first node N1 is low, a path is formed between the first terminal (second voltage signal terminal VGH) and the second terminal (second scan signal terminal) of the seventh transistor T7, and the path between the first terminal (first voltage signal terminal VGL) and the second terminal (second scan signal terminal) of the sixth transistor T6 is interrupted. This allows the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH to be transmitted to the second scan signal terminal while preventing the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal terminal VGL from affecting the potential of the second scan signal terminal. When the potential of the first node N1 is high, a path is formed between the first terminal (first voltage signal terminal VGL) and the second terminal (second scan signal terminal) of the sixth transistor T6, allowing the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal terminal VGL to be transmitted to the second scan signal terminal.
[0272] like Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register includes a first control circuit 160, a third output circuit 190, and a fourth output circuit 200. The third output signal terminal S3 includes a first clock signal terminal CLK1, the fifth control signal terminal K5 includes a second scan signal terminal, and the first control circuit 160 is multiplexed into a functional circuit 150.
[0273] That is, the function control terminal includes a second scan signal terminal, the function input terminal includes a first clock signal terminal CLK1, and the function output terminal includes a second node N2.
[0274] The first control circuit 160 is configured to, when the potential of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal is an effective potential, control the formation of a path between the first clock signal terminal CLK1 and the second node N2, thereby transmitting the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 to the second node N2. The first control circuit 160 is also configured to, when the potential of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal is an invalid potential, disconnect the path between the first clock signal terminal CLK1 and the second node N2 to maintain the potential of the second node N2.
[0275] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the fifth transistor T5 in the first control circuit 160 comprises an oxide transistor. Figure 17
[0276] The control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled with the second scan signal terminal, the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled with the first clock signal terminal CLK1, and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled with the second node N2.
[0277] In some examples, the fifth transistor T5 is an N-type transistor. In the case that the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal is at a high potential, a path is formed between the first electrode (the first clock signal terminal CLK1) of the fifth transistor T5 and the second electrode (the second node N2) of the fifth transistor T5, so as to realize transmission of the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 to the second node N2. In the case that the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal is at a low potential, the path between the first electrode (the first clock signal terminal CLK1) of the fifth transistor T5 and the second electrode (the second node N2) of the fifth transistor T5 is blocked, so as to realize maintenance of the potential of the second node N2.

[0279] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the noise reduction circuit 170 is respectively coupled with the second voltage signal terminal VGH, the sixth control signal terminal K6, the second node N2 and the first node N1. The noise reduction circuit 170 is configured to form a path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1 under the control of the potential of the second node N2 and the sixth control signal provided by the sixth control signal terminal K6. Figure 3 The sixth control signal terminal K6 can be one of the multiple clock signal terminals, for example, the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4. The sixth control signal terminal K6 can also be one of the multiple auxiliary clock signal terminals, for example, the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4. The sixth control signal terminal K6 can also be one of the multiple circuit nodes, for example, the first node N1, which is not limited here.
[0280] As shown in FIG. 1, in some examples, the sixth control signal terminal K6 comprises the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4. The noise reduction circuit 170 is configured to control the formation of a path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1 under the control of the potential of the second node N2 and the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4, so as to realize transmission of the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH to the first node N1.

Figure 19
[0290] The first voltage signal line VGL', the fourth clock signal line CLK4' and the first clock signal line CLK1' all extend along the second direction Y and are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The first voltage signal line VGL', the fourth clock signal line CLK4' and the first clock signal line CLK1' can be located on the same side of the shift register in the first direction X and are arranged in turn in the direction away from the shift register.

[0296] like Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the sixth control signal terminal K6 includes the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4. A functional circuit 150 is connected in series between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1. The functional control terminal includes the first node N1, the functional input terminal includes the second voltage signal terminal VGH, and the functional output terminal includes the first node N1.
[0297] The functional circuit 150 is configured to form a path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1 when the potential of the first node N1 is an effective potential, thereby transmitting the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH to the first node N1.
[0298] The functional circuit 150 is also configured to disconnect the path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1 when the potential of the first node N1 is an invalid potential, so as to maintain the potential of the first node N1.

[0302] In some examples, the first transistor T1 is an N-type transistor, and the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9 are P-type transistors. When the potential of the first node N1 is high, the potential of the second node N2 is low, and the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is low, the first terminal of the first transistor T1 (the second voltage signal terminal VGH) forms a path with the second terminal of the first transistor T1, the first terminal of the eighth transistor T8, the second terminal of the eighth transistor T8, the first terminal of the ninth transistor T9, and the second terminal of the ninth transistor T9 (the first node N1), thereby transmitting the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH to the first node N1.
[0303] When the potential of the first node N1 is low, the path between the first terminal and the second terminal of the first transistor T1 is cut off, thereby cutting off the path between the second voltage signal and the first node N1 to maintain the potential of the first node N1.

[0306] In some examples, the first transistor T1 is an N-type transistor, and the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9 are P-type transistors. When the potential of the first node N1 is high, the potential of the second node N2 is low, and the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is low, the first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 (the second voltage signal terminal VGH) forms a path with the second terminal of the eighth transistor T8, the first terminal of the first transistor T1, the second terminal of the first transistor T1, the first terminal of the ninth transistor T9, and the second terminal of the ninth transistor T9 (the first node N1), thereby transmitting the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH to the first node N1.
[0307] When the potential of the first node N1 is low, the path between the first terminal and the second terminal of the first transistor T1 is cut off, thereby cutting off the path between the second voltage signal and the first node N1 to maintain the potential of the first node N1.

[0310] In some examples, the first transistor T1 is an N-type transistor, and the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9 are P-type transistors. When the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is at a low potential, the first electrode (the second voltage signal terminal VGH) of the eighth transistor T8 forms a path between the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8, the first electrode of the ninth transistor T9, the second electrode of the ninth transistor T9, the first electrode of the first transistor T1, and the second electrode (the first node N1) of the first transistor T1 in sequence, so as to realize transmission of the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH to the first node N1.
[0311] When the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential, the path between the first electrode of the first transistor T1 and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is blocked, so as to block the path between the second voltage signal and the first node N1, and maintain the potential of the first node N1.
[0312] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the functional circuit 150 includes a ninth transistor T9. The ninth transistor T9 includes an oxide transistor. The control electrode of the ninth transistor T9 is coupled to the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4. Figure 21

[0409] like Figure 33 As shown, Figure 33 This includes the timing of the input signal provided by the input signal terminal, the timing of the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1, the timing of the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4, the timing of the first scan signal provided by the first scan signal terminal, and the timing of the first node N1 and the second node N2. Additionally, the first voltage signal terminal VGL continuously provides a low-level first voltage signal, and the second voltage signal terminal VGH continuously provides a high-level second voltage signal. Figure 33The working stage in the first stage t1, the second stage t2, the third stage t3 and the fourth stage t4. Among them, the fourth stage t4 includes the first sub-stage t41, the second sub-stage t42 and the third sub-stage t43.
[0410] The following is described with the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the eighth transistor T8, the ninth transistor T9, the tenth transistor T10, the sixteenth transistor T16, the seventeenth transistor T17 are all P-type transistors:
[0411] In the first stage t1, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal end CLK1 is a low potential signal, the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal end CLK4 is a high potential signal, and the input signal provided by the input signal end is a low potential signal, for example, the potential of the input signal is equal to the potential of the first voltage signal. Since the first clock signal is a low potential signal, the second transistor T2 is in the on state, and the input signal is transmitted to the first node N1 via the second transistor T2. Since the second transistor T2 transmits a low potential signal with threshold loss, the potential of the first node N1 is Vin (the potential of the input signal)-Vth2 (the threshold voltage of the second transistor T2), that is, VGL (the potential of the first voltage signal)-Vth2. Since the tenth transistor T10 receives the first voltage signal at the control electrode, the tenth transistor T10 is in the on state, and thus the voltage VGL-Vth2 is transmitted to the third node N3 via the tenth transistor T10. For example, the threshold voltage of the tenth transistor T10 is represented as Vth10, and for the same reason, since the tenth transistor T10 transmits a low potential signal with threshold loss, the potential of the third node N3 is VGL-VthN3, wherein VthN3 is the smaller one of Vth2 and Vth10 (the threshold voltage of the tenth transistor T10). The potential of the third node N3 can control the sixteenth transistor T16 to be in the on state, and the fourth clock signal is written into the first scan signal end as the first scan signal via the sixteenth transistor T16, that is, in the input stage t1, the output signal is a high potential fourth clock signal, for example, the high potential of the fourth clock signal is equal to the potential of the second voltage signal, that is, VGH (the potential of the second voltage signal).
[0412] In the first stage t1, since the first clock signal is a low potential signal, the fourth transistor T4 is in the on state, and the first voltage signal VGL is transmitted to the second node N2 via the fourth transistor T4. Since the potential of the first node N1 is VGL-Vth2, the fifth transistor T5 is in the on state, and the first clock signal at a low potential is transmitted to the second node N2 via the fifth transistor T5. For example, the threshold voltage of the fifth transistor T5 is represented as Vth5, and the threshold voltage of the fourth transistor T4 is represented as Vth4. When Vth4 < Vth5+Vth2, the potential of the second node N2 is VGL-Vth5-Vth2; and when Vth4 > Vth5+Vth2, the potential of the second node N2 is VGL-Vth4. At this time, the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighth transistor T8 are both in the on state. Since the fourth clock signal is a high potential signal, the ninth transistor T9 is in the off state.
[0413] In the second stage t2, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 is a high potential signal, the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a low potential signal, and the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a high potential signal. The second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are both in the off state. The potential of the first node N1 is still VGL-Vth2, the fifth transistor T5 is in the on state, and the high potential first clock signal is transmitted to the second node N2 via the fifth transistor T5, i.e. the potential of the second node N2 is equal to the potential of the second voltage signal, so that the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighth transistor T8 are both in the off state. Since the fourth clock signal is a low potential signal, the ninth transistor T9 is in the on state.
[0414] In the second stage t2, the sixteenth transistor T16 is in the on state, and the fourth clock signal is written into the first scan signal terminal as an output signal via the sixteenth transistor T16. In the first stage t1, the potential of one end of the first scan signal terminal connected to the first plate of the fourth capacitor C4 is equal to the potential of the second voltage signal, and the potential of one end of the third node N3 connected to the second plate of the fourth capacitor C4 is VGL-VthN3. In the second stage t2, the potential of one end of the first scan signal terminal connected to the first plate of the fourth capacitor C4 becomes VGL, and due to the bootstrap effect of the fourth capacitor C4, the potential of one end of the third node N3 connected to the second plate of the fourth capacitor C4 becomes 2VGL-VthN3-VGH, i.e. the potential of the third node N3 becomes 2VGL-VthN3-VGH. At this time, the tenth transistor T10 is in the off state, and the sixteenth transistor T16 can be better opened, and the potential of the first scan signal is equal to the potential of the first voltage signal.
[0415] In the third stage t3, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 and the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 are both high potential signals, and the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a high potential signal. The second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are both in the off state. The potential of the third node N3 becomes VGL-VthN3, at this time, the tenth transistor T10 is in the on state, and the potential of the first node N1 is also VGL-VthN3, the fifth transistor T5 is in the on state, and the first clock signal with a high potential is transmitted to the second node N2 through the fifth transistor T5, that is, the potential of the second node N2 is equal to the potential of the second voltage signal, thereby the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighth transistor T8 are both in the off state. Since the fourth clock signal is a high potential signal, the ninth transistor T9 is in the off state.
[0416] In the third stage t3, the sixteenth transistor T16 is in the on state, and the fourth clock signal is written into the first scan signal terminal as the first scan signal through the sixteenth transistor T16, at this time, the first scan signal is a high potential fourth clock signal, that is, the second voltage signal VGH. Due to the bootstrap effect of the fourth capacitor C4, the potential of the third node N3 becomes VGL-VthN3.
[0417] In the first sub-stage t41 of the fourth stage t4, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 is a low potential signal, the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a high potential signal, and the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a high potential signal, for example, the input signal is equal to the second voltage signal VGH. Since the first clock signal is a low potential signal, the second transistor T2 is in the on state, and the input signal is transmitted to the first node N1 through the second transistor T2, and since the second transistor T2 transmits a high potential signal without threshold loss, the potential of the first node N1 is Vin (equal to the potential of the second voltage signal), and the fifth transistor T5 is in the off state. Since the tenth transistor T10 is in the on state, the potential of the third node N3 is the same as that of the first node N1, that is, the potential of the third node N3 is equal to the potential of the second voltage signal, and the sixteenth transistor T16 is in the off state. Since the first clock signal is a low potential signal, the fourth transistor T4 is in the on state, the potential of the second node N2 is VGL-Vth4, the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighth transistor T8 are both in the on state, and the second voltage signal VGH is transmitted to the first scan signal terminal through the seventeenth transistor T17, that is, the first scan signal is the second voltage signal VGH.
[0418] In the second sub-stage t42 of the fourth stage t4, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 is a high-level signal, the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a low-level signal, and the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a high-level signal. The potentials of the third node N3 and the first node N1 are Vin (equal to the potential of the second voltage signal), and the sixteenth transistor T16 and the fifth transistor T5 are both in the off state. The first clock signal is a high-level signal, so the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are both in the off state. Due to the holding effect of the second capacitor C2, the potential of the second node N2 is still VGL-Vth4, and the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighth transistor T8 are both in the on state. The second voltage signal VGH is transmitted to the first scan signal terminal through the seventeenth transistor T17, and the first scan signal is the second voltage signal VGH.
[0419] In the second sub-stage t42 of the fourth stage t4, since the fourth clock signal is a low-level signal, the ninth transistor T9 is in the conducting state, so the second voltage signal VGH is transmitted to the first node N1 and the third node N3 via the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9, so that the potential of the third node N3 and the potential of the first node N1 are kept at a high level.
[0420] In the third sub-stage t43 of the fourth stage t4, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 and the second clock signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CLK2 are both high-level signals, and the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is also high-level. The potentials of the first node N1 and the third node N3 are equal to the potential of the second voltage signal, and the sixteenth transistor T16 and the fifth transistor T5 are both in the off state. The first clock signal is a high-level signal, so the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are both in the off state, the potential of the second node N2 is still VGL-Vth4, and the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighth transistor T8 are both in the on state. The second voltage signal VGH is transmitted to the first scan signal terminal via the seventeenth transistor T17, and the first scan signal is the second voltage signal VGH.
[0421] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register is compared to Figure 32 The difference in the shift register shown includes the addition of a first transistor T1, which is an oxide transistor. The first transistor T1 is connected in series between the second node N2 and the first clock signal terminal CLK1. For example, the first transistor T1 is connected in series between the second node N2 and the fifth transistor T5, or, for another example, the first transistor T1 is connected in series between the fifth transistor T5 and the first clock signal terminal CLK1. The control electrode of the first transistor T1 is coupled to the third clock signal terminal CLK3.
[0422] The following describes the first transistor T1 as an N-type transistor:
[0423] In combination Figure 5 and Figure 33 As shown in the above first stage t1, the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal terminal CLK3 is a high potential signal, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential (the voltage value is VGL-Vth2), the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5 are both in the on state, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 is a low potential signal, and is transmitted to the second node N2 via the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0424] In the above second stage t2, the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal terminal CLK3 is a high potential signal, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential (the voltage value is VGL-Vth2), the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5 are both in the on state, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 is a high potential signal, and is transmitted to the second node N2 via the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0425] In the above third stage t3, the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal terminal CLK3 is a high potential signal, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential (the voltage value is VGL-VthN3), the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5 are both in the on state, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 is a high potential signal, and is transmitted to the second node N2 via the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0426] In the first sub-stage t41 of the above fourth stage t4, the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal terminal CLK3 is a low potential signal, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential (the voltage value is VGH), the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5 are both in the off state, and the first transistor T1 can block the path between the third clock signal terminal CLK3 and the second node N2 to maintain the potential of the second node N2.
[0427] In the second sub-stage t42 of the above fourth stage t4, the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal terminal CLK3 is a low potential signal, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential (the voltage value is VGH), the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5 are both in the off state, and the first transistor T1 can block the path between the third clock signal terminal CLK3 and the second node N2 to prevent the high potential first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 from raising the potential of the second node N2, thereby maintaining the potential of the second node N2.
[0428] In the third sub-stage t43 of the fourth stage t4, the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal terminal CLK3 is a low potential signal, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential (the voltage value is VGH), the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5 are both in the off state, and the first transistor T1 can block the path between the third clock signal terminal CLK3 and the second node N2, thereby preventing the high potential first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 from raising the potential of the second node N2, so as to maintain the potential of the second node N2.
[0429] As can be seen from the above, the first transistor T1 is coupled in series between the second node N2 and the first clock signal terminal CLK1, and on the basis of the normal operation of the first control circuit 160, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 can effectively avoid affecting the potential of the second node N2, improve the stability of the potential of the second node N2, and further improve the reliability of the shift register.
[0430] The working processes of other transistors can refer to the above example description, which will not be described here.
[0431] As shown in Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the shift register is different from the shift register shown in Figure 32 , and the difference includes that the second transistor T2 is an oxide transistor. In the embodiment, the control electrode of the second transistor T2 is coupled with the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1.
[0432] Taking the second transistor T2 as an N-type transistor for description:
[0433] In combination with Figure 6 and Figure 33 , in the above first stage t1, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a high potential signal, the second transistor T2 is in the on state, the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a low potential, and the input signal is transmitted to the first node N1 through the second transistor T2.
[0434] In the above second stage t2, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a low potential signal, the second transistor T2 is in the off state, and the path between the input signal terminal and the first node N1 is blocked, thereby preventing the high potential input signal provided by the input signal terminal from raising the potential of the first node N1, so as to maintain the low potential of the first node N1.
[0435] In the third stage t3 mentioned above, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a low-level signal, and the second transistor T2 is in the off state, cutting off the path between the input signal terminal and the first node N1, thereby preventing the high-level input signal provided by the input signal terminal from raising the potential of the first node N1, so as to maintain the low potential of the first node N1.
[0436] In the first sub-stage t41 of the fourth stage t4 mentioned above, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a high-level signal, the second transistor T2 is in the on state, the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a high-level signal, and the input signal is transmitted to the first node N1 via the second transistor T2.
[0437] In the second sub-stage t42 of the fourth stage t4 mentioned above, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a low-level signal, and the second transistor T2 is in the off state, cutting off the path between the input signal terminal and the first node N1, so as to maintain the low potential of the first node N1.
[0438] In the third sub-stage t43 of the fourth stage t4 mentioned above, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a low-potential signal, and the second transistor T2 is in the off state, cutting off the path between the input signal terminal and the first node N1, so as to maintain the low potential of the first node N1.
[0439] As described above, it can be seen that by using the second transistor T2 as an oxide transistor and coupling the control electrode of the second transistor T2 to the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1, the input signal provided by the input signal terminal can be prevented from affecting the potential of the first node N1 when the second transistor T2 is in the off state, while the first input circuit 110 is working normally. This improves the stability of the potential of the first node N1 and thus improves the reliability of the shift register.
[0440] The operation of other transistors can be referred to the example above, and will not be repeated here.
[0441] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register is compared to Figure 32 The difference in the shift register shown includes that the fourth transistor T4 is an oxide transistor. In this embodiment, the control electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is coupled to the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1.
[0442] The explanation will focus on the fourth transistor, T4, as an N-type transistor:
[0443] Combination Figure 11 and Figure 33As shown, in the first stage t1, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a high potential signal, the fourth transistor T4 is in a conductive state, and the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal terminal VGL is transmitted to the second node N2 via the fourth transistor T4.
[0444] In the second stage t2, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential, the fifth transistor T5 is in a conductive state, and the first clock signal terminal CLK1 at a high potential is transmitted to the second node N2. The first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a low potential signal, the fourth transistor T4 is in a cut-off state, and the path between the first voltage signal terminal VGL and the second node N2 is blocked, preventing the low potential signal of the first voltage signal from affecting the high potential of the second node N2, thereby improving the stability of the potential of the second node N2.
[0445] In the third stage t3, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential, the fifth transistor T5 is in a conductive state, and the first clock signal terminal CLK1 at a high potential is transmitted to the second node N2. The first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a low potential signal, the fourth transistor T4 is in a cut-off state, and the path between the first voltage signal terminal VGL and the second node N2 is blocked to maintain the high potential of the second node N2.
[0446] In the first sub-stage t41 of the fourth stage t4, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a high potential signal, the fourth transistor T4 is in a conductive state, and the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal terminal VGL is transmitted to the second node N2 via the fourth transistor T4.
[0447] In the second sub-stage t42 of the fourth stage t4, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, and the fifth transistor T5 is in a cut-off state. The first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a low potential signal, the second transistor T2 is in a cut-off state, and the path between the input signal terminal and the first node N1 is blocked to maintain the low potential of the second node N2.
[0448] In the third sub-stage t43 of the fourth stage t4, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, and the fifth transistor T5 is in a cut-off state. The first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a low potential signal, the second transistor T2 is in a cut-off state, and the path between the input signal terminal and the first node N1 is blocked to maintain the low potential of the second node N2.
[0449] As can be seen from the above, the fourth transistor T4 is taken as an oxide transistor, and the control electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is coupled with the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1, so that the input signal provided by the first voltage signal terminal VGL can be prevented from affecting the potential of the second node N2 in the case that the fourth transistor T4 is in the off state on the basis of the normal operation of the second input circuit 130, the stability of the potential of the second node N2 is improved, and the reliability of the shift register is further improved.
[0450] The working processes of other transistors can refer to the above description, which will not be repeated here.
[0451] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 22 In some embodiments, the shift register is different from the shift register shown in FIG. 1 in that the tenth transistor T10 is an oxide transistor. Figure 32 In the embodiment, the control electrode of the tenth transistor T10 is coupled with the second voltage signal terminal VGH.
[0452] Taking the tenth transistor T10 as an N-type transistor for description:
[0453] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 22 and Figure 33 In the above first stage t1, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential (the voltage value is VGL-Vth2). The second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH is a high potential signal, and the tenth transistor T10 is in the on state, so that the potential of the first node N1 is transmitted to the third node N3 through the tenth transistor T10.
[0454] In the above second stage t2, the potential of the third node N3 is at a low potential (2VGL-VthN3-VGH). The second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH is a high potential signal, and the tenth transistor T10 is in the off state, so as to cut off the path between the first node N1 and the third node N3, thereby maintaining the low potential of the third node N3.
[0455] In the above third stage t3, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential (the voltage value is VGL-VthN3). The second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH is a high potential signal, and the tenth transistor T10 is in the on state, so that the potential of the first node N1 is transmitted to the third node N3 through the tenth transistor T10.
[0456] In the first, second and third sub-stages t41, t42 and t43 of the above fourth stage t4, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential. The second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH is a high potential signal, and the tenth transistor T10 is in the on state, so that the potential of the first node N1 is transmitted to the third node N3 through the tenth transistor T10.
[0457] As can be seen from the above, by using the tenth transistor T10 as an oxide transistor and coupling the control terminal of the tenth transistor T10 to the second voltage signal terminal VGH, it is possible to prevent the potential of the first node N1 from affecting the potential of the third node N3 when the tenth transistor T10 is in the off state, based on the normal operation of the first voltage regulator circuit 180. This improves the stability of the potential of the third node N3 and thus improves the reliability of the shift register.
[0458] The operation of other transistors can be referred to the example above, and will not be repeated here.
[0459] like Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register is compared to Figure 32 The difference in the shift register shown includes the addition of a first transistor T1, which is an oxide transistor. The first transistor T1 is connected in series between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1, and the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is also connected to the first node N1. The series connection of the first transistor T1 between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1 can have various configurations, as previously described in detail and will not be repeated here.
[0460] The following explanation assumes that the first transistor T1 is an N-type transistor and is located between the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9:
[0461] Combination Figure 20 and Figure 33 As shown, in the first stage t1, the potential of the second node N2 is low, and the eighth transistor T8 is in the on state. The fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a high-potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in the off state. The potential of the first node N1 is low, and the first transistor T1 is in the off state, cutting off the path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1 to prevent the high-potential second voltage signal from affecting the low potential of the first node N1 and maintaining the stability of the first node N1.
[0462] In the second stage t2 described above, the potential of the second node N2 is high, and the eighth transistor T8 is in the off state. The fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a low-potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in the on state. The potential of the first node N1 remains low, and the first transistor T1 is in the off state, cutting off the path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1 to prevent the high-potential second voltage signal from affecting the low potential of the first node N1 and maintaining the stability of the first node N1.
[0463] In the third stage t3, the second node N2 is at low potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in the on state. The fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a high potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in the off state. The first node N1 is still at low potential, and the first transistor T1 is in the off state, cutting off the path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1, so as to prevent the high potential second voltage signal from affecting the low potential of the first node N1, and maintaining the stability of the first node N1.
[0464] In the first sub-stage t41 of the fourth stage t4, the second node N2 is at high potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in the off state. The fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a high potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in the off state. The first node N1 is at high potential, and the first transistor T1 is in the on state. Since the first node N1 and the second voltage signal are both at high potential, the second voltage signal will not affect the potential of the first node N1.
[0465] In the second sub-stage t42 of the fourth stage t4, the second node N2 is at low potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in the on state. The fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a low potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in the on state. The first node N1 is at high potential, and the first transistor T1 is in the on state, forming a path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1, and realizing the transmission of the second voltage signal terminal VGH to the first node N1.
[0466] In the second sub-stage t43 of the fourth stage t4, the second node N2 is at low potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in the on state. The fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a high potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in the off state. The first node N1 is at high potential, and the first transistor T1 is in the on state. Since the first node N1 and the second voltage signal are both at high potential, the second voltage signal will not affect the potential of the first node N1.
[0467] As described above, it can be seen that the first transistor T1 is coupled in series between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1, and on the basis of the normal operation of the noise reduction circuit 170, the second voltage signal can effectively avoid affecting the potential of the first node N1 in the case that at least one of the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9 is in the off state and the first node N1 is different from the potential of the second voltage signal, improving the stability of the potential of the first node N1, and further improving the reliability of the shift register.
[0468] The working processes of other transistors can refer to the above example description, which will not be described here.
[0469] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the shift register is different from the shift register shown in FIG. 1 in that the ninth transistor T9 is an oxide transistor. Figure 21 As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the shift register is different from the shift register shown in FIG. 1 in that the ninth transistor T9 is an oxide transistor. Figure 32 As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the shift register is different from the shift register shown in FIG. 1 in that the ninth transistor T9 is an oxide transistor.
[0470] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the shift register is different from the shift register shown in FIG. 1 in that the ninth transistor T9 is an oxide transistor.
[0471] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the shift register is different from the shift register shown in FIG. 1 in that the ninth transistor T9 is an oxide transistor. Figure 21 As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the shift register is different from the shift register shown in FIG. 1 in that the ninth transistor T9 is an oxide transistor. Figure 33 In the first stage t1, the potential of the first node N1 and the potential of the second node N2 are both at a low potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in a conductive state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a low potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in a cut-off state. The ninth transistor T9 blocks the path between the first node N1 and the second voltage signal terminal VGH, preventing the second voltage signal as a high potential from affecting the potential of the first node N1, improving the stability of the potential of the first node N1, and further improving the reliability of the shift register.
[0472] In the second stage t2, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential, and the potential of the second node N2 is at a high potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in a cut-off state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a high potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in a conductive state.
[0473] In the third stage t3, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential, and the potential of the second node N2 is at a high potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in a cut-off state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a low potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in a cut-off state. The ninth transistor T9 blocks the path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1, preventing the second voltage signal as a high potential from affecting the low potential of the first node N1, improving the stability of the potential of the first node N1, and further improving the reliability of the shift register.
[0474] In the first sub-stage t41 of the fourth stage t4, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, and the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in a conductive state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is at a low potential, and the ninth transistor T9 is in a cut-off state, blocking the path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1.
[0475] In the second sub-stage t42 of the fourth stage t4, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in a conductive state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a high potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in a conductive state, forming a path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1, and the second voltage signal is transmitted to the first node N1, controlling the potential of the first node N1 to be at a high potential.

The second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the second scan signal terminal, making the second scan signal output by the second scan signal terminal a high-potential signal. The sixth transistor T6 isolates the path between the second scan signal terminal and the first voltage signal terminal VGL, preventing the low potential (VGL) signal of the first voltage signal terminal VGL from affecting the high potential of the second scan signal terminal, thereby maintaining the potential of the second scan signal terminal.
[0484] In the first sub-stage t41, the second sub-stage t42, and the third sub-stage t43 of the fourth stage t4 mentioned above, the potential of the first node N1 is high, the sixth transistor T6 is in the on state, the seventh transistor T7 is in the off state, and the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal terminal VGL is transmitted to the second scan signal terminal, so that the second scan signal output by the second scan signal terminal is a low potential signal.
[0485] As described above, the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7 can effectively control the potential of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal. Simultaneously, when the sixth transistor T6 is in the off state, it can effectively prevent the low potential (VGL) signal of the first voltage signal terminal VGL from affecting the high potential of the second scan signal terminal, improving the stability of the potential of the second scan signal terminal and thus improving the reliability of the shift register.

Additionally, the first voltage signal terminal VGL continuously provides a low-level first voltage signal, and the second voltage signal terminal VGH continuously provides a high-level second voltage signal. Figure 35The working stages in the first stage t1, the second stage t2, the third stage t3, the fourth stage t4 and the fifth stage t5. Among them, the adjacent two working stages also include a buffer stage.
[0508] The second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the eighth transistor T8, the ninth transistor T9, the eleventh transistor T11, the twelfth transistor T12, the sixteenth transistor T16, the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighteenth transistor T18 are all P-type transistors.

Because the first clock signal is a low potential signal, the second transistor T2 is in a conductive state, and the input signal is transmitted to the first node N1 through the second transistor T2, so that the potential of the first node N1 is equal to the potential of the second voltage signal. The potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, which causes the fifth transistor T5, the eighteenth transistor T18 and the sixteenth transistor T16 to be in a cut-off state. The fourth transistor T4 is in a conductive state, and the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal end VGL is transmitted to the second node N2 through the fourth transistor T4, and the second node N2 is at a low potential (VGL). Because the fourth clock signal is a high potential signal, the ninth transistor T9 and the twelfth transistor T12 are both in a cut-off state, the fourth node N4 maintains the high potential of the last stage, the seventeenth transistor T17 is in a cut-off state, and the first scan signal end maintains the low potential of the last stage.

The potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, causing the fifth transistor T5, the eighteenth transistor T18 and the sixteenth transistor T16 to be in the off state. The fourth transistor T4 is in the on state, and the first voltage signal is transmitted to the second node N2 via the fourth transistor T4, and the potential of the second node N2 is equal to the potential of the first voltage signal. Since the fourth clock signal is a high potential signal, the ninth transistor T9 and the twelfth transistor T12 are both in the off state, the fourth node N4 keeps the low potential in the second stage t2, the seventeenth transistor T17 is in the on state, the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the first scan signal terminal, and the first scan signal provided by the first scan signal terminal is a high potential signal.
[0512] In the fourth stage t4, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 is a high potential signal, the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a low potential signal, and the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a low potential signal. Since the first clock signal is a high potential signal, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are both in the off state. The first node N1 keeps the high potential in the third stage t3, causing the fifth transistor T5, the eighteenth transistor T18 and the sixteenth transistor T16 to be in the off state. The second node N2 keeps the low potential in the third stage t3, and the fourth clock signal is a low potential signal, causing the eighth transistor T8, the ninth transistor T9, the eleventh transistor T11 and the twelfth transistor T12 to be in the on state. In this way, the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the first node N1 via the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9, and the first node N1 is kept at a high potential; the fourth clock signal is transmitted to the fourth node N4 via the eleventh transistor T11 and the twelfth transistor T12, and the fourth node N4 is at a low potential (VGL), causing the seventeenth transistor T17 to be in the on state, and the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the first scan signal terminal, and the first scan signal provided by the first scan signal terminal is a high potential signal.
[0513] In the fifth stage t5, the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 is a low potential signal, the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a high potential signal, and the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a low potential signal. Since the first clock signal is a low potential signal, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are both in the on state. The input signal is transmitted to the first node N1 via the second transistor T2, so that the potential of the first node N1 is equal to the potential of the first voltage signal. The potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential, and the fifth transistor T5, the eighteenth transistor T18 and the sixteenth transistor T16 are all in the on state. The second voltage signal is transmitted to the fourth node N4 via the eighteenth transistor T18, and the potential of the fourth node N4 is equal to the potential of the second voltage signal. The potential of the fourth node N4 is at a high potential, causing the seventeenth transistor T17 to be in the off state.

[0514] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the shift register is compared to a conventional shift register. Figure 24 Figure 34 The difference between the shift register shown in the figure and the shift register shown in the figure includes that a first transistor T1 is added, and the first transistor T1 includes an oxide transistor. The first transistor T1 is coupled in series between the second node N2 and the first clock signal end CLK1, for example, the first transistor T1 is coupled in series between the second node N2 and the fifth transistor T5, and for example, the first transistor T1 is coupled in series between the fifth transistor T5 and the first clock signal end CLK1. In addition, the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is coupled with the fourth node N4.
[0515] The first transistor T1 is taken as an N-type transistor for description:
[0516] Combined with the figure shown in the figure, Figure 24 and Figure 35 In the above-mentioned first stage t1, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the fifth transistor T5 is in a cut-off state. The potential of the fourth node N4 is at a high potential, the first transistor T1 is in a conductive state, and the first clock signal as a low potential signal will not affect the low potential of the second node N2.
[0517] In the above-mentioned second stage t2, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the fifth transistor T5 is in a cut-off state. The potential of the fourth node N4 is at a low potential, the first transistor T1 is in a cut-off state, and the path between the first clock signal end CLK1 and the second node N2 is blocked, avoiding the first clock signal end CLK1 as a high potential signal affecting the low potential of the second node N2, and maintaining the stability of the potential of the second node N2.
[0518] In the above-mentioned third stage t3, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the fifth transistor T5 is in a cut-off state. The potential of the fourth node N4 is at a low potential, the first transistor T1 is in a cut-off state, and the path between the first clock signal end CLK1 and the second node N2 is blocked, maintaining the stability of the potential of the second node N2.
[0519] In the above-mentioned fourth stage t4, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the fifth transistor T5 is in a cut-off state. The potential of the fourth node N4 is at a low potential, the first transistor T1 is in a cut-off state, and the path between the first clock signal end CLK1 and the second node N2 is blocked, avoiding the first clock signal end CLK1 as a high potential signal affecting the low potential of the second node N2, and maintaining the stability of the potential of the second node N2.
[0520] In the fifth stage t5 mentioned above, the potential of the first node N1 is low, the potential of the second node N2 is low, and the fifth transistor T5 is in the on state. The potential of the fourth node N4 is high, and the first transistor T1 is in the on state, forming a path between the first clock signal terminal CLK1 and the second node N2. This allows the first clock signal, which is a low-potential signal, to be transmitted to the second node N2 via the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5, controlling the potential of the second node N2 to be low.
[0521] As described above, it can be seen that the first transistor T1 is connected in series between the second node N2 and the first clock signal terminal CLK1. On the basis of the normal operation of the first control circuit 160, it can also effectively prevent the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CLK1 from affecting the potential of the second node N2, improve the stability of the potential of the second node N2, and thus improve the reliability of the shift register.
[0522] The operation of other transistors can be referred to the example above, and will not be repeated here.
[0523] like Figure 36 As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register is compared to Figure 34 The difference in the shift register shown includes that the second transistor T2 is an oxide transistor. In this embodiment, the control electrode of the second transistor T2 is coupled to the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1.
[0524] The explanation will focus on the second transistor, T2, as an N-type transistor:
[0525] Combination Figure 36 and Figure 35 As shown, in the first stage t1 and the third stage t3, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a high-level signal, the second transistor T2 is in the on state, the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a high-level signal, and the input signal is transmitted to the first node N1 via the second transistor T2.
[0526] In the second stage t2 and the fourth stage t4, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a low-level signal, and the second transistor T2 is in the off state, isolating the input signal terminal from the first node N1. Specifically, in the fourth stage t4, the input signal is a low-level signal, and the first node N1 is at a high level. The second transistor T2's isolation of the input signal terminal from the first node N1 prevents the low-level input signal from affecting the high level of the first node N1, improving the stability of the first node N1's potential and thus enhancing the reliability of the shift register.
[0527] In the fifth stage t5, the first auxiliary clock signal provided by the first auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK1 is a high potential signal, the second transistor T2 is in a conductive state, and the input signal provided by the input signal terminal is a low potential, forming a path between the input signal terminal and the first node N1, and the input signal is transmitted to the first node N1 via the second transistor T2.
[0528] As can be seen from the above, as an oxide transistor, the second transistor T2 can effectively avoid the influence of the input signal provided by the input signal terminal on the potential of the first node N1 on the basis of the normal operation of the first input circuit 110, improve the stability of the potential of the first node N1, and further improve the reliability of the shift register.
[0529] The working processes of other transistors can refer to the above example description, which will not be described here.
[0530] As shown in Figure 37 , in some embodiments, the shift register adds a first transistor T1 compared with the shift register shown in Figure 34 , and the first transistor T1 includes an oxide transistor. The first transistor T1 is coupled in series between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1, and the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is coupled with the first node N1. The first transistor T1 can have multiple series positions when coupled in series between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1, which has been described in detail before and will not be described here.
[0531] Taking the case that the first transistor T1 is an N-type transistor and the first transistor T1 is located between the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9 as an example:
[0532] In combination with Figure 37 and Figure 35 , in the above first stage t1 and third stage t3, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, and the first transistor T1 is in a conductive state; the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a high potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in a cut-off state; the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in a conductive state. The second voltage signal as a high potential signal will not affect the high potential of the first node N1.
[0533] In the first stage t1 and the fourth stage t4, the potential of the first node N1 is at a high potential, and the first transistor T1 is in a conducting state; the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a low potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in a conducting state; the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in a conducting state. The second voltage signal as a high potential signal does not affect the high potential of the first node N1. The second voltage signal as a high potential signal is transmitted to the first node N1 via the eighth transistor T8, the first transistor T1 and the ninth transistor T9, and controls the potential of the first node N1 to be at a high potential.
[0534] In the fifth stage t5, the potential of the first node N1 is at a low potential, and the first transistor T1 is in a cut-off state; the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 is a high potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in a cut-off state; the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eighth transistor T8 is in a conducting state. The first transistor T1 blocks the path between the second voltage terminal and the first node N1, prevents the first voltage signal terminal VGL as a high potential from affecting the low potential of the first node N1, improves the stability of the potential of the first node N1, and further improves the reliability of the shift register.
[0535] As described above, it can be seen that the first transistor T1 is coupled in series between the first node N1 and the second voltage signal terminal VGH. On the basis of normal operation of the noise reduction circuit 170, the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH can be effectively prevented from affecting the potential of the first node N1, the stability of the potential of the first node N1 is improved, and the reliability of the shift register is further improved.
[0536] The working processes of other transistors can refer to the above example description, which will not be described here.
[0537] As shown in Figure 38 In some embodiments, the ninth transistor T9 can be an oxide transistor. Wherein, the ninth transistor T9 is different from the ninth transistor T9 in Figure 34 The control electrode of the ninth transistor T9 is coupled with the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4.
[0538] Taking the ninth transistor T9 as an N-type transistor for description:
[0539] In combination with Figure 38 and Figure 35As shown, in the first stage t1 and the third stage t3, the potential of the first node N1 is high, the potential of the second node N2 is low, and the eighth transistor T8 is in the on state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a low-level signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in the off state, cutting off the path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1.
[0540] In the second stage t2 and the fourth stage t4, the potential of the second node N2 is low, and the eighth transistor T8 is in the on state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a high-potential signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in the on state, forming a path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1. The second voltage signal is transmitted to the first node via the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9, controlling the potential of the first node N1 to be high.
[0541] In the fifth stage t5, the potential of the first node N1 is low, the potential of the second node N2 is low, and the eighth transistor T8 is in the on state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a low-level signal, and the ninth transistor T9 is in the off state. The ninth transistor T9 isolates the path between the second voltage signal terminal VGH and the first node N1, which can prevent the second voltage signal, which is a high-level signal, from affecting the low potential of the first node N1, thereby improving the stability of the potential of the first node N1 and thus improving the reliability of the shift register.
[0542] As can be seen from the above, the ninth transistor T9, as an oxide transistor, can effectively prevent the second voltage signal provided by the second voltage signal terminal VGH from affecting the potential of the first node N1, improve the stability of the potential of the first node N1, and thus improve the reliability of the shift register, on the basis of the normal operation of the noise reduction circuit 170.
[0543] The operation of other transistors can be referred to the example above, and will not be repeated here.
[0544] like Figure 25 As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register is compared to... Figure 34 The difference in the shift register shown is that the twelfth transistor T12 is an oxide transistor. The control terminal of the twelfth transistor T12 is coupled to the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4.
[0545] The following explanation uses the twelfth transistor, T12, as an N-type transistor:
[0546] Combination Figure 25 and Figure 35As shown in the first stage t1, the third stage t3 and the fifth stage t5, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eleventh transistor T11 is in a conductive state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a low potential signal, and the twelfth transistor T12 is in a cut-off state, thereby cutting off the path between the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 and the fourth node N4. In the first stage t1 and the third stage t3, the path between the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 and the fourth node N4 is cut off, thereby preventing the second voltage signal as a high potential signal from affecting the low potential of the fourth node N4.
[0547] In the second stage t2 and the fourth stage t4, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eleventh transistor T11 is in a conductive state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a high potential signal, and the twelfth transistor T12 is in a conductive state, thereby forming a path between the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 and the fourth node N4, and the fourth clock signal as a low potential signal is transmitted to the fourth node N4 to control the fourth node N4 to be at a low potential.

In the first stage t1 and the third stage t3, the path between the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 and the fourth node N4 is cut off, thereby preventing the second voltage signal as a high potential signal from affecting the low potential of the fourth node N4. Figure 39 Figure 35 As shown in the first stage t1, the third stage t3 and the fifth stage t5, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eleventh transistor T11 is in a conductive state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a low potential signal, and the twelfth transistor T12 is in a cut-off state, thereby cutting off the path between the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 and the fourth node N4. In the first stage t1 and the third stage t3, the path between the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 and the fourth node N4 is cut off, thereby preventing the second voltage signal as a high potential signal from affecting the low potential of the fourth node N4.
[0553] As shown in the first stage t1, the third stage t3 and the fifth stage t5, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eleventh transistor T11 is in a conductive state. The fourth auxiliary clock signal provided by the fourth auxiliary clock signal terminal NCLK4 is a low potential signal, and the twelfth transistor T12 is in a cut-off state, thereby cutting off the path between the fourth clock signal terminal CLK4 and the fourth node N4.

[0559] In the above second stage t2 and fourth stage t4, the potential of the second node N2 is at a low potential, and the eleventh transistor T11 is in a conductive state. The fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal is changed from a high potential signal to a low potential signal, so that the potential of the first plate of the first capacitor is at a low potential. Due to the bootstrap effect of the first capacitor, the potential of the second plate (i.e. the fifth node N5) of the first capacitor is further lowered, and the thirteenth transistor T13 is in a cut-off state and makes the eleventh transistor T11 better conductive.
