[0082] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the noise reduction circuit 5 can be used to perform noise reduction processing on the third node N3 during the operation of the shift register.
[0083] Figure 3A Another specific circuit structure diagram of the shift register provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 3B Another specific circuit structure diagram of the shift register provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, Figure 3A The shift register shown is based on Figure 2A A specific implementation scheme of the shift register shown; Figure 3B The shift register shown is based on Figure 2B A specific implementation scheme of the shift register shown.
[0084] In some embodiments, the first control circuit 2 includes a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2, the second control circuit 3 includes a third transistor T3, the input circuit 1 includes a fourth transistor T4, the noise reduction circuit 5 includes a fifth transistor T5, and the output circuit 4 includes a seventh transistor T7 and an eighth transistor T8.
[0085] The control electrode of the first transistor T1 is coupled with a preset control signal end CS, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is coupled with a first power supply end, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is coupled with the first electrode of the second transistor T2.

[0092] In some embodiments, the preset control signal end CS is the signal input end INPUT. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the signal input end INPUT is used as the preset control signal end CS, so that it is not necessary to additionally configure a new control signal end, thereby effectively reducing the number of signal ends configured in the shift register and facilitating reduction of the control difficulty of the shift register.
[0093] In some embodiments, the first transistor T1 is an N-type transistor, and the other transistors in the shift register except the first transistor T1 are P-type transistors.
[0094] Currently, the pixel driving circuit in the display device starts to develop in the direction of Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide (LTPO) technology, that is, the pixel driving circuit includes two types of transistors: low-temperature polycrystalline silicon type transistors and metal oxide type transistors. Since the GOA circuit is prepared synchronously with the pixel driving circuit based on the same process, in order to adapt to the preparation process of the LTPO type pixel driving circuit, the transistors in the shift register are also designed to include two types of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon type transistors and metal oxide type transistors. In some embodiments, the N-type transistor described above adopts a metal oxide type transistor, and the P-type transistor described above adopts a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon type transistor. That is, the first transistor T1 is a metal oxide type transistor, and the other transistors in the shift register except the first transistor T1 are low-temperature polycrystalline silicon type transistors.
[0095] The working process of the shift register shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 2A and Figure 2B In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the signal input end INPUT is used as the preset control signal end CS, so that it is not necessary to additionally configure a new control signal end, thereby effectively reducing the number of signal ends configured in the shift register and facilitating reduction of the control difficulty of the shift register.
[0096] Figure 4A As Figure 3A shown in FIG. 2, the working process of the shift register includes the following stages: Figure 4A
[0097] In the first stage t1, the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a low level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a high level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at a low level.
[0098] Since the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at a low level, the second transistor T2 is turned on.
[0099] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a low level, the first transistor T1 is turned off, the third transistor T3 is turned on, the high-level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the first node N1 through the third transistor T3, the voltage at the first node N1 is at a high level, and the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both turned off.
[0100] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a high level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned off, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are both in a floating state, the voltage at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 maintains the low level of the previous stage, the seventh transistor T7 maintains the turned-on state, and the low-level signal provided by the first power supply terminal is written to the signal output terminal OUT through the seventh transistor T7, so that the signal output terminal OUT outputs a low-level signal.
[0101] In the second stage t2, the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a high level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a low level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at a high level.
[0102] Since the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at a high level, the second transistor T2 is turned off.
[0103] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a high level, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the third transistor T3 is turned off. At this time, the first node N1 is in a floating state and maintains the high level of the previous stage. At this time, the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both maintained to be turned off.
[0104] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at the low level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the high level signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is written to the third node N3 through the fourth transistor T4, and the voltage at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 is at the high level. At this time, the seventh transistor T7 is in the off state. The signal output terminal OUT is in the floating state, maintaining the low level state of the previous stage, that is, the signal output terminal OUT outputs the low level signal.
[0105] In the third stage t3, the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at the high level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at the high level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at the low level.
[0106] Since the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at the low level, the second transistor T2 is turned on.
[0107] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at the high level, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the third transistor T3 is turned off. At this time, the low level voltage VGL provided by the first power supply terminal is written to the first node N1 through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, the voltage at the first node N1 is at the low level, and the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both turned on.
[0108] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at the high level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned off. However, since the fifth transistor T5 is in the on state, the high level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the third node N3 through the fifth transistor T5, so as to realize the purpose of noise reduction of the voltage at the third node N3. At this time, the seventh transistor T7 is maintained in the off state.
[0109] Since the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, the high level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal can be written to the signal output terminal OUT through the eighth transistor T8, so that the signal output terminal OUT outputs the high level signal.
[0110] Based on the foregoing, it can be seen that the noise reduction circuit 5 (the fifth transistor T5) can play a role in noise reduction of the voltage at the third node N3 in the third stage t3. The noise reduction circuit 5 (the fifth transistor T5) is not a necessary circuit structure provided in the shift register in the embodiments of the present disclosure, so in some embodiments, the noise reduction circuit 5 can be removed according to actual needs (for example, simplifying the circuit structure, reducing the size occupied by the shift register).
[0111] In the fourth stage t4, the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at the high level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at the low level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at the high level.
[0112] Since the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at high level, the second transistor T2 is cut off.
[0113] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at high level, the first transistor T1 is turned on and the third transistor T3 is cut off. At this time, the first node N1 is in floating state and maintains the low level state of the previous stage, and the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both maintained in conduction.
[0114] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at low level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the high level signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is written to the third node N3 through the fourth transistor T4. The voltages at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are at high level. At this time, the seventh transistor T7 is in cut-off state. The signal output terminal OUT is in floating state and maintains the high level state of the previous stage, that is, the signal output terminal OUT outputs a high level signal.
[0115] It should be noted that according to the pulse width of the input signal, there may be multiple third stages t3 and multiple fourth stages t4 in one period, and the third stage t3 and the fourth stage t4 are alternately performed.
[0116] In the fifth stage t5, the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at low level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at low level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at high level.
[0117] Since the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at high level, the second transistor T2 is cut off.
[0118] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at low level, the first transistor T1 is cut off and the third transistor T3 is turned on. At this time, the high level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the first node N1 through the third transistor T3, and the voltage at the first node N1 is at high level. The fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both cut off.
[0119] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at low level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on. The low level signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is written to the third node N3 through the fourth transistor T4, and the voltages at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are at low level. At this time, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on.
[0120] The low voltage VGL provided by the first power supply end is written to the signal output end OUT through the seventh transistor T7 due to the conduction of the seventh transistor T7, and thus the signal output end OUT outputs a low level signal. It should be noted that during the fifth stage, the voltages of the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 slowly decrease, and the seventh transistor T7 slowly switches from the off state to the on state, so that the signal output by the signal output end OUT slowly switches from the high level state to the low level state. That is, during the fifth stage, the signal output end OUT actually outputs a high level signal first and then outputs a low level signal. The time when the signal output end OUT outputs the low level signal is related to the discharging speed of the fourth node N4 (the working state of the seventh transistor T7).
[0121] During the sixth stage t6, the signal provided by the signal input end INPUT is in a low level state, the signal provided by the first clock signal end CK is in a high level state, and the signal provided by the second clock signal end CKB is in a low level state.
[0122] The second transistor T2 is turned on due to the low level signal provided by the second clock signal end CKB.
[0123] The first transistor T1 is turned off and the third transistor T3 is turned on due to the low level signal provided by the signal input end INPUT, and at this time, the high level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply end is written to the first node N1, the voltage at the first node N1 is in a high level state, and the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both turned off.
[0124] The fourth transistor T4 is turned off due to the high level signal provided by the first clock signal end CK. At this time, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are in a floating state and maintain the low level of the previous stage. The seventh transistor T7 is maintained in conduction.
[0125] The low level voltage VGL provided by the first power supply end is written to the signal output end OUT through the seventh transistor T7 due to the conduction of the seventh transistor T7, and thus the signal output end OUT outputs a low level signal.
[0126] During the seventh stage t7, the signal provided by the signal input end INPUT is in a low level state, the signal provided by the first clock signal end CK is in a low level state, and the signal provided by the second clock signal end CKB is in a high level state.
[0127] The second transistor T2 is turned off due to the high level signal provided by the second clock signal end CKB.
[0128] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a low level, the first transistor T1 is cut off, and the third transistor T3 is turned on. At this time, the high-level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the first node N1 through the third transistor T3, and the voltage at the first node N1 is at a high level. The fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both cut off.
[0129] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a low level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on. The low-level signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is written to the third node N3 through the fourth transistor T4 to perform noise reduction processing on the third node N3. The voltages at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are at a low level. At this time, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on.
[0130] Since the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the low-level voltage VGL provided by the first power supply terminal is written to the signal output terminal OUT through the seventh transistor T7, so that the signal output terminal OUT outputs a low-level signal.
[0131] It should be noted that according to the design of one frame length, there will be multiple sixth stages t6 and multiple seventh stages t7 in one period. The sixth stage t6 and the seventh stage t7 are alternately performed until the first stage of the next period begins.
[0132] Figure 4B For Figure 3B As shown in FIG. 8, the working process of the shift register includes the following stages: Figure 4B
[0133] The first stage t1', the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a low level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a low level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at a high level.
[0134] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a low level, the first transistor T1 is cut off, and the third transistor T3 is turned on. At this time, the high-level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the first node N1 through the third transistor T3, and the voltage at the first node N1 is at a high level. The fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both cut off.
[0135] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at low level, the second transistor and the fourth transistor T4 are both turned on, at this moment, the low level signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT can be written to the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 through the fourth transistor, the voltage at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 is at low level, at this moment, the seventh transistor T7 maintains the conductive state, the low level signal provided by the first power supply terminal is written to the signal output terminal OUT through the seventh transistor T7, so the signal output terminal OUT outputs the low level signal.
[0136] The second stage t2', the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at high level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at high level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at low level.
[0137] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at high level, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the third transistor T3 is cut off. At this moment, the first node N1 is in a floating state and maintains the high level state of the previous stage. At this moment, the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both maintained to be cut off.
[0138] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at high level, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are cut off, and the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are in a floating state, that is, the voltage at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 maintains the low level state of the previous stage, at this moment, the seventh transistor T7 maintains the conductive state, and the low level signal provided by the first power supply terminal is written to the signal output terminal OUT through the seventh transistor T7, so the signal output terminal OUT outputs the low level signal.
[0139] The third stage t3', the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at high level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at low level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at high level.
[0140] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at low level, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor are both turned on.
[0141] Since the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the high level signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is written to the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 through the fourth transistor, the voltage at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 is at high level, and the seventh transistor is cut off.
[0142] Meanwhile, since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a high level, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the third transistor T3 is turned off. At this time, the low-level voltage VGL provided by the first power supply terminal is written to the first node N1 through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and the voltage at the first node N1 is at a low level, and the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both turned on.
[0143] Since the fifth transistor T5 is in a turned-on state, the high-level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the third node N3 through the fifth transistor T5, so as to achieve the purpose of noise reduction of the voltage at the third node N3.
[0144] Since the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, the high-level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal can be written to the signal output terminal OUT through the eighth transistor T8, so that the signal output terminal OUT outputs a high-level signal.
[0145] Based on the foregoing, it can be seen that the noise reduction circuit 5 (fifth transistor T5) can play a role in noise reduction of the voltage at the third node N3 from the third stage t3'. The noise reduction circuit 5 (fifth transistor T5) is not a necessary circuit structure provided in the shift register in the embodiments of the present disclosure, so in some embodiments, the noise reduction circuit 5 can be removed according to actual needs (for example, simplifying the circuit structure, reducing the size occupied by the shift register).
[0146] In the fourth stage t4', the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a high level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a high level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at a low level.
[0147] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a high level, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor are both turned off.
[0148] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a high level, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the third transistor T3 is turned off. At this time, the first node N1 is in a floating state and maintains the low-level state of the previous stage, and the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both maintained in a turned-on state.
[0149] Since the fifth transistor T5 is maintained in a turned-on state, the voltage at the third node N3 can be maintained for noise reduction.
[0150] Since the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, the high-level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal can be written to the signal output terminal OUT through the eighth transistor T8, so that the signal output terminal OUT continuously outputs a high-level signal.
[0151] It should be noted that according to the pulse width of the input signal, there can be multiple third stages t3' and multiple fourth stages t4' in one period, and the third stage t3' and the fourth stage t4' are alternately performed.
[0152] The fifth stage t5', the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is in a low level state, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is in a low level state, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is in a high level state.
[0153] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is in a low level state, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on. The low level signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is written to the third node N3 through the fourth transistor T4, and the voltages at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are in a low level state. At this time, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on.
[0154] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is in a low level state, the first transistor T1 is turned off, and the third transistor T3 is turned on. At this time, the high level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the first node N1 through the third transistor T3, the voltage at the first node N1 is in a high level state, and the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both turned off.
[0155] Since the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the low level voltage VGL provided by the first power supply terminal is written to the signal output terminal OUT through the seventh transistor T7, so that the signal output terminal OUT outputs a low level signal. It should be noted that during the fifth stage, the voltages at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 will slowly decrease, and the seventh transistor T7 will slowly switch from the off state to the on state, so that the signal output terminal OUT outputs a high level signal first and then outputs a low level signal during the fifth stage. The time when the signal output terminal OUT outputs a low level signal is related to the discharge speed of the fourth node N4 (the working state of the seventh transistor T7).
[0156] The sixth stage t6', the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is in a low level state, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is in a high level state, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is in a low level state.
[0157] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is in a low level state, the first transistor T1 is turned off, and the third transistor T3 is turned on. At this time, the high level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the first node N1, the voltage at the first node N1 is in a high level state, and the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both turned off.
[0158] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a high level, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are both turned off. At this moment, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are in a floating state and maintain the low level of the previous stage. The seventh transistor T7 is maintained in a conductive state.
[0159] Since the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the low-level voltage VGL provided by the first power supply terminal is written to the signal output terminal OUT through the seventh transistor T7, so that the signal output terminal OUT outputs a low-level signal.
[0160] In the seventh stage t7', the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a low level, the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a low level, and the signal provided by the second clock signal terminal CKB is at a high level.
[0161] Since the signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is at a low level, the first transistor T1 is turned off and the third transistor T3 is turned on. At this moment, the high-level voltage VGH provided by the second power supply terminal is written to the first node N1 through the third transistor T3, the voltage at the first node N1 is at a high level, and the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are both turned off.
[0162] Since the signal provided by the first clock signal terminal CK is at a low level, the second transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are both turned on. The low-level signal provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is written to the third node N3 through the fourth transistor T4 to perform noise reduction on the third node N3, and the voltages at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are at a low level. At this moment, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on.
[0163] Since the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, the low-level voltage VGL provided by the first power supply terminal is written to the signal output terminal OUT through the seventh transistor T7, so that the signal output terminal OUT outputs a low-level signal.
[0164] It should be noted that according to the design of one frame length, there will be multiple sixth stages t6' and multiple seventh stages t7' in one period, the sixth stage t6' and the seventh stage t7' are alternately performed until the first stage of the next period begins.
[0165] Based on the above content, it can be seen that, Figure 3A and Figure 3B The shift register shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 only includes seven transistors: the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8, compared with the traditional 12T2C circuit (including 12 transistors and 2 capacitors), Figure 3A and Figure 3BThe circuit structure of the shift register shown is simpler and occupies less size, and is more conducive to narrow frame design.
[0166] Figure 5A Another circuit structure of the shift register provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 5B Another circuit structure of the shift register provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 5A and Figure 5B Unlike the previous embodiments in which the preset control signal end CS is the signal input end INPUT, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the preset control signal end CS is the third node N3. Specifically, Figure 5A and Figure 5B The control electrode of the first transistor T1 in
[0167] Figure 5A and Figure 5B The working timing of the shift register shown in Figure 4A and Figure 4B The specific working process can be referred to the related descriptions of Figure 4A and Figure 4B above, which will not be described here again. It should be noted that based on Figure 4A and Figure 4B , the signal waveform at the third node N3 is similar to the signal waveform at the signal input end INPUT, so when the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the third node N3, the working state of the first transistor T1 in each stage is the same as when the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the signal input end INPUT.
[0168] Figure 6A Another circuit structure of the shift register provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 6B Another circuit structure of the shift register provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 7A Another circuit structure of the shift register provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 7B Another circuit structure of the shift register provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 6A , 6B , 7A and 7B, unlike the previous embodiments, Figure 6A , 6B , in the embodiments shown in 7A and 7B, the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the preset control signal end CS Figure 6A and Figure 6B , the preset control signal end CS is the signal input end INPUT, Figure 7A and Figure 7BThe preset control signal terminal CS is coupled to the third node N3. The first terminal of the first transistor T1 is coupled to the second terminal of the second transistor T2. The second terminal of the first transistor T1 is coupled to the first node N1. The control terminal of the second transistor T2 is coupled to the second clock signal terminal CKB or the first clock signal terminal CK. The first terminal of the second transistor T2 is coupled to the first power supply terminal.
[0169] Figure 6A and Figure 7A The timing diagram of the shift register shown can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 4A As shown, Figure 6B and Figure 7B The timing diagram of the shift register shown can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 4B As shown, the specific details will not be repeated here.
[0170] exist Figure 3A , Figure 3B , Figure 5A , Figure 5B , Figure 6A , Figure 6B , Figure 7A and Figure 7B In the illustrated embodiment, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are directly connected. During the first and sixth stages, the seventh transistor T7 is controlled by a low-level voltage at the fourth node N4 to output. Generally, to ensure that the seventh transistor T7 can be fully turned on in the first and fifth stages (the gate-source voltage of the seventh transistor T7 needs to be less than or equal to Vth_T7, where Vth_T7 is the threshold voltage of the seventh transistor T7, and Vth_T7≤0V), the voltage at the fourth node N4 needs to be less than or equal to VGL (VGL is generally a negative voltage, such as -9V) to ensure that the signal output terminal OUT can output a low-level voltage VGL. This also requires that the low-level voltage provided by the signal input terminal INPUT is less than or equal to VGL.
[0171] Generally, in the gate driving circuit, the signal input end INPUT of the shift register at the first stage is coupled with the frame start signal end, and the signal input end INPUT of any shift register at other stages is coupled with the signal output end OUT of the shift register at the previous stage. That is, the low voltage at the signal output end OUT of the current shift register is input as the low voltage at the signal input end INPUT of the next shift register. Based on this, it can be seen that the low voltage provided by the frame start signal end needs to be VGL to ensure that the voltage at the fourth node N4 of each shift register at the first stage, the fifth stage and the seventh stage is VGL. However, in actual application, considering the IR Drop and other factors, it is found that the actual voltage VN4 loaded by each shift register at the first stage, the fifth stage and the seventh stage is greater than VGL, and the voltage output by the signal output end OUT is VN4-Vth_T7 (the seventh transistor T7 is turned on first, and the seventh transistor T7 is turned off when the voltage at the signal output end OUT is discharged to VN4-Vth_T7). Since Vth_T7≤0, VN4-Vth_T7>VGL, that is, the signal output end OUT cannot completely output VGL. Once VN4 is too large, the low voltage output by the signal output end OUT will also be too large, which will easily lead to the fact that the low voltage output by the signal output end OUT cannot effectively control the light-emitting control transistor in the pixel driving circuit.
[0172] To effectively improve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a new shift register. Figure 8A A circuit structure diagram of another shift register provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 8B A circuit structure diagram of another shift register provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in Figures 8A to 9B As shown in the above embodiment, Figure 8A and Figure 9B The shift register unit shown in the above embodiment not only includes the circuit structure in the above shift register, but also includes a first capacitor C1; wherein the first end of the first capacitor C1 is coupled with the second clock signal end CKB, and the second end of the first capacitor C1 is coupled with the fourth node N4.
[0173] Figure 9A A working timing diagram of the shift register shown in Figure 8A A working timing diagram of the shift register shown in Figure 9B A working timing diagram of the shift register shown in Figure 8A B. As shown in the above embodiment, Figure 9A and Figure 9B As shown in the above embodiment, Figure 8A The working process of the shift register shown in the above embodiment also includes the first stage t1 to the seventh stage t7 as described above, Figure 9AThe working process of the shift register shown also includes the first stage t1' to the seventh stage t7' as described above. In the first stage t1 and the fifth stage t5, because the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are in a floating state, when the signal provided by the second clock signal end CKB is switched from a high level state to a low level state, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are also pulled down by the bootstrap action of the first capacitor C1.
[0174] Exemplarily, it is assumed that the voltage at the fourth node N4 is VN4 after the end of the fifth stage t5 and before the start of the sixth stage t6, and the voltage output by the signal output end OUT is VN4-Vth_T7. After the start of the sixth stage, when the voltage provided by the second clock signal end CKB is switched from a high level voltage Vgh_C to a low level voltage Vgl_C, the voltage at the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 is pulled down to VN4-(Vgh_C-Vgl_C) by the first capacitor C1. By pre-designing the value of Vgh_C-Vgl_C, VN4-(Vgh_C-Vgl_C) is less than VGL, so the seventh transistor T7 is in a fully open state in the sixth stage, and at this time the signal output end OUT can fully output a low level voltage VGL.
[0175] It should be noted that in the seventh stage t7 and t7' that follows, although the voltage at the fourth node N4 is also pulled up to VN4 by the first capacitor C1, at this time because the gate-source voltage of the seventh transistor T7 is greater than Vth_T7, the seventh transistor T7 is in a cut-off state in the seventh stage t7 and t7', and the signal output end OUT is in a floating state, maintaining the output of a low level voltage VGL.
[0176] Similarly, in the first stage t1 and t1', the voltage at the fourth node N4 is pulled down to VN4-(Vgh_C-Vgl_C) by the first capacitor C1, and the signal output end OUT outputs a low level voltage VGL.
[0177] Based on the above, it can be seen that by setting the first capacitor C1, the signal output end OUT can stably output a low level voltage VGL in the first stage, the sixth stage and the seventh stage.
[0178] Figure 10A Another circuit structure schematic diagram of a shift register provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 10B Another circuit structure schematic diagram of a shift register provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 11A For Figure 10A A working timing diagram of the shift register shown, Figure 11B For Figure 10B A working timing diagram of the shift register shown, as Figure 10AHezhi Figure 11B As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register includes not only Figure 8A and Figure 8B The first capacitor C1 in the circuit also includes a sixth transistor T6. The sixth transistor T6 is located between the third node N3 and the fourth node N4. The third node N3 is coupled to the fourth node N4 through the sixth transistor T6. The control terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the first power supply terminal. The first terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the third node N3, and the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the fourth node N4.
[0179] pass Figure 9A and Figure 9B As can be seen from the timing diagram, due to Figure 8A , Figure 8B The third node N3 and the fourth node N4 are directly connected, so the signals applied to them are always consistent. During the first stage t1, t1' and the sixth stage t6, t6', the voltage at the third node N3 is in an extremely low state (extremely low negative voltage). At this time, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 will be in a high voltage state (there is a large voltage difference between the first and second terminals of the transistors), which will affect the lifespan of the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0180] To effectively improve the above-mentioned technical problems, in Figure 10A and Figure 10B In the illustrated embodiment, a sixth transistor T6 is disposed between the third node N3 and the fourth node N4. The control electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the first power supply terminal to receive a low-level voltage VGL.
[0181] See Figure 11A and Figure 11B As shown, during the first stage t1, t1' and the sixth stage t6, t6', when the voltage at the fourth node N4 is pulled down to VN4-(Vgh_C-Vgl_C) by the first capacitor C1, the gate-source voltage of the sixth transistor T6 will be greater than its own threshold voltage. At this time, the sixth transistor T6 switches to the off state. Therefore, the extremely low negative voltage at the fourth node N4 cannot be written to the third node N3. At this time, the voltage at the third node N3 will maintain the state of the fifth stage (at this time, the third node N3 is in the floating state). Thus, it can effectively prevent the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 from being in a high-voltage state, so as to ensure the service life of the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5.

[0183] In the present embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node N1 is in a floating state during the second stage and the fourth stage.
