[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0029] The applicant notes that current GOA inverters are generally configured in two ways. The first is the LC type, which typically consists of two sets of inverters that work alternately by switching the LC signal potential. However, due to the long switching cycle of the LC signal, the TFT (Thin Film Transistor) of the inverter is prone to TFT threshold voltage (Vth) drift caused by long-term bias, resulting in electrical instability. The second is the CK type, where the driving signal is the CK signal, so the voltage on the inverter's TFT constantly switches, making TFT Vth drift less noticeable and electrically more stable. However, in the CK type inverter, the CK signal and VSS signal are in the same circuit path, posing a risk of conduction between them. If conduction occurs, it will negatively impact the entire GOA stage. Based on the current state of these two types of inverters, this application proposes a gate driving circuit that maintains the electrical stability of the CK inverter TFT and eliminates the risk of conduction between the CK and VSS signals.

[0030] It should be noted that the control terminal of the transistor mentioned in this application is the gate of the transistor, the input terminal is the source of the transistor, and the output terminal is the drain of the transistor.

[0031] The specific implementation methods of this application are illustrated below through examples:

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, this application embodiment provides a gate driving circuit, including: a pull-down sustaining module 200, a pull-up control module 100, a pull-up module 400, a reset module 300, and a pull-down module 500; the pull-down sustaining module 200, the pull-up control module 100, the pull-up module 400, the reset module 300, and the pull-down module 500 are connected to a common point Q; wherein, the pull-down sustaining module 200 includes a first inverting unit 210, a second inverting unit 220, and a pull-down unit 230; the first inverting unit 210 is connected to the second inverting unit 220 through the pull-down unit 230; the first inverting unit 210 includes a first transistor T51 and a fifth transistor T55, the first control terminal of the first transistor T51 is connected to a first clock signal CK, and the first crystal... The first output terminal of transistor T51 is connected to a high-level signal VGH; the fifth control terminal of the fifth transistor T55 is connected to a second clock signal XCK; the fifth output terminal of the fifth transistor T55 is connected to the first output point K; and the fifth input terminal of the fifth transistor T55 is connected to a low-level signal VSS. The second inverter unit 220 includes a sixth transistor T61 and a tenth transistor T65. The sixth control terminal of the sixth transistor T61 is connected to the first clock signal CK; the sixth output terminal of the sixth transistor T61 is connected to a high-level signal VGH; the tenth control terminal of the tenth transistor T65 is connected to the second clock signal XCK; the tenth output terminal of the tenth transistor T65 is connected to the second output point P; and the tenth input terminal of the tenth transistor T65 is connected to a low-level signal VSS. Specifically, as follows... Figure 2 As shown, the first inverting unit 210 and the second inverting unit 220 in this application are symmetrically designed. The first transistor T51 in the first inverting unit 210 is equivalent to the sixth transistor T61 in the second inverting unit. The drains of both the first transistor T51 and the sixth transistor T61 are connected to the high-level signal VGH, and the gates of both the first transistor T51 and the sixth transistor T61 are connected to the first clock signal CK. The fifth transistor T55 in the first inverting unit 210 is equivalent to the tenth transistor T65 in the second inverting unit 220. The gates of both the fifth transistor T55 and the tenth transistor T65 are connected to the second clock signal XCK. The first clock signal CK and the second clock signal XCK are opposite signals, that is, when the first clock signal CK is high, the second clock signal XCK is low; when the first clock signal CK is low, the second clock signal XCK is high. Figure 3As shown, the first inverting unit 210 and the second inverting unit 220 of this application control the potential of the common point Q to be opposite to the potential of the first output point K or the second output point P. Furthermore, when the common point Q is at a low potential, the potential changes of the first output point K or the second output point P will not affect the normal operation of the pull-down sustaining module 200. When the common point Q is at a low potential, the potential changes of the first output point K or the second output point P prevent the transistors in the pull-down sustaining module 200 from being in a fixed bias state for a long time. Therefore, the risk of threshold voltage Vth drift in the transistors of the pull-down sustaining module 200 can be reduced, thereby ensuring a more stable gate drive circuit.

Through the cooperation of the sixth transistor T61, the seventh transistor T62, the eighth transistor T63, the ninth transistor T64, and the tenth transistor T65, the second output point P can output a signal opposite to that of the common point Q.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the first transistor T51, the second transistor T52, the third transistor T53, the fourth transistor T54 and the fifth transistor T55 in the first inverter unit 210, and the sixth transistor T61, the seventh transistor T62, the eighth transistor T63, the ninth transistor T64 and the tenth transistor T65 in the second inverter unit 220 are all TFT thin film transistors.

Specifically, the main function of the pull-up control module 100 is to control the pull-up state of the common point Q. The pull-up control module 100 consists of an eleventh transistor T11, used to control the connection and disconnection of the common point Q. When the eleventh transistor T11 receives a signal to turn on, the common point Q is connected to the pull-up power supply, and the common point Q is pulled high. When the eleventh transistor T11 receives a signal to turn off, the common point Q is disconnected from the pull-up power supply, and the common point Q is pulled low.
