[0089] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other. To keep the following description of the embodiments of this disclosure clear and concise, detailed descriptions of some known functions and components have been omitted. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of this disclosure; other structures can be referred to with reference to general designs.
[0090] The scale of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual manufacturing processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the quantities shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the figures.
[0091] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.
[0092] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.
[0093] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.
[0094] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0095] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged.
[0096] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.
[0097] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.
[0098] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."
[0099] In this specification, the term "same-layer arrangement" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures through the same patterning process, and their materials may be the same or different. For example, the precursors forming multiple structures in a same-layer arrangement may be made of the same material, while the final materials may be the same or different.
[0100] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.
[0101] Display substrates possess advantages such as high resolution, high response speed, high brightness, and high aperture ratio, offering broad application prospects. To achieve a better visual experience, narrow bezels are a major development direction for displays. Display substrates incorporate driving circuits to drive pixel circuits to emit light, thereby realizing the display. However, display substrates cannot achieve truly narrow bezels.

[0150] In one exemplary embodiment, the first light-emitting control transistor ET1 to the thirteenth light-emitting control transistor ET13 can be either P-type transistors or N-type transistors.
[0151] In one exemplary embodiment, the first power supply terminal VGH continuously provides a high-level signal, and the second power supply terminal VGL continuously provides a low-level signal. Because the second power supply terminal VGL continuously provides a low-level signal, the eleventh light-emitting control transistor ET11 and the twelfth light-emitting control transistor ET12 are continuously turned on.
[0152] In one exemplary embodiment, the second clock signal terminal ECK2 is a low-level signal during the power-on initialization phase to prevent the ninth and tenth light-emitting control transistors ET9 and ET10 of the last light-emitting shift register from conducting simultaneously due to output signal delay, or it is a low-level signal during the abnormal power-off phase to prevent the ninth and tenth light-emitting control transistors ET9 and ET10 from conducting simultaneously. The second clock signal terminal ECK2 continuously provides a high-level signal during the normal display phase, meaning that the thirteenth light-emitting control transistor ET13 remains continuously off during the normal display phase.
[0153] Taking the first light-emitting control transistor ET1 to the thirteenth light-emitting control transistor ET13 as P-type transistors as an example, Figure 5B As shown, the operation of an exemplary embodiment of the light-emitting shift register includes the following stages:
[0154] In the first stage B1, the signal at the first clock signal terminal ECK1 is a high-level signal, and the signal at the third clock signal terminal ECK3 is a low-level signal. When the signal at the third clock signal terminal ECK3 is low, the first light-emitting control transistor ET1, the third light-emitting control transistor ET3, and the twelfth light-emitting control transistor ET12 are turned on. The turned-on first light-emitting control transistor ET1 transmits the high-level signal at the input terminal EIN to the first node E1, thereby making the level of the first node E1 a high-level signal. The turned-on twelfth light-emitting control transistor ET12 transmits the high-level signal of the first node E1 to the third node E2. The second light-emitting control transistor ET2, the fourth light-emitting control transistor ET4, the eighth light-emitting control transistor ET8, and the tenth light-emitting control transistor ET10 are turned off. Additionally, the conducting third LED control transistor ET3 transmits the low-level signal from the third power supply terminal VGL to the second node E2, causing the level of the second node E2 to go low. The conducting eleventh LED control transistor ET11 transmits the low-level signal from the second node E2 to the fourth node E4, causing the level of the fourth node E4 to go low. The fifth and sixth LED control transistors ET5 and ET6 are turned on. The signal at the first clock signal terminal ECK1 is a high-level signal, and the seventh LED control transistor ET7 is turned off. Furthermore, under the action of the third LED capacitor EC3, the ninth LED control transistor ET9 is turned off. In the first stage P1, since both the ninth and tenth LED control transistors ET9 and ET10 are turned off, the signal at the output terminal EOUT remains at the previous low level.
[0155] In the second stage B2, the first clock signal terminal ECK1 is at a low level, and the third clock signal terminal ECK3 is at a high level. With the first clock signal terminal ECK1 at a low level, the seventh LED control transistor ET7 is turned on. With the third clock signal terminal ECK3 at a high level, the first LED control transistor ET1 and the third LED control transistor ET3 are turned off. Under the influence of the third LED capacitor EC3, the first node E1 and the third node E3 can maintain the high level signal from the previous stage. Under the influence of the first LED capacitor EC1, the fourth node E4 can maintain the low level from the previous stage, so the fifth LED control transistor ET5 and the sixth LED control transistor ET6 are turned on. The second LED control transistor ET2, the fourth LED control transistor ET4, the eighth LED control transistor ET8, and the tenth LED control transistor ET10 are turned off. Additionally, the low-level signal at the first clock signal terminal ECK1 is transmitted to the seventh node E7 through the conducting sixth and seventh LED control transistors ET6 and ET7. The ninth LED control transistor ET9 is then turned on, outputting a high-level signal at the first power supply terminal VGH. Therefore, the signal at the output terminal EOUT is a high-level signal.
[0156] In stage B3, the signal at the third clock signal terminal ECK3 is low, and the signal at the first clock signal terminal ECK1 is high. With the first clock signal terminal ECK1 high, the seventh LED control transistor ET7 is turned off. The second, fourth, eighth, and tenth LED control transistors ET2, ET4, ET8, and ET10 are also turned off. With the third clock signal terminal ECK3 low, the first and third LED control transistors ET1 and ET3 are turned on. Under the influence of the second LED capacitor EC3, the ninth LED control transistor ET9 remains on, outputting a high-level signal from the first power supply terminal VGH. Therefore, the output signal EOUT remains high.
[0157] In stage B4, the first clock signal ECK1 is low, and the third clock signal ECK3 is high. With ECK3 high, the first and third LEDs ET1 and ET3 are turned off. With ECK1 low, the seventh LED ET7 is turned on. Due to the storage function of the third LED capacitor EC3, the levels of nodes E1 and E3 remain high from the previous stage, thus turning off the second, fourth, eighth, and tenth LEDs ET2, ET4, ET8, and ET10. Due to the storage function of the first LED capacitor EC1, node E4 remains low from the previous stage, thus turning on the fifth and sixth LEDs ET5 and ET6. In addition, the low-level signal of the first clock signal terminal ECK1 is transmitted to the seventh node E7 through the sixth light-emitting control transistor ET6 and the seventh light-emitting control transistor ET7, and the ninth light-emitting control transistor ET9 outputs the high-level signal of the first power supply terminal VGH, so the signal of the output terminal EOUT is still a high-level signal.
[0158] In stage B5, the signal at the first clock signal terminal ECK1 is high, and the signal at the third clock signal terminal ECK3 is low. When the signal at the third clock signal terminal ECK3 is low, the first LED control transistor ET1 and the third LED control transistor ET3 are turned on. When the signal at the first clock signal terminal ECK1 is high, the seventh LED control transistor ET7 is turned off. The turned-on first LED control transistor ET1 transmits the low-level signal at its input terminal EIN to the first node E1, thus making the level of the first node E1 low. The turned-on twelfth LED control transistor ET12 transmits the low-level signal from the first node E1 to the third node E3, thus making the level of the third node E3 low. The second LED control transistor ET2, the fourth LED control transistor ET4, the eighth LED control transistor ET8, and the tenth LED control transistor ET10 are turned on. The second LED control transistor ET2, which is turned on, transmits the low-level signal from the third clock signal terminal ECK3 to the second node E2, further pulling down the level of the second node E2. Therefore, the second node E2 and the fourth node E4 remain at the low level of the previous stage, thus turning on the fifth LED control transistor ET5 and the sixth LED control transistor ET6. The signal from the first clock signal terminal ECK1 is a high-level signal, and the seventh LED control transistor ET7 is turned off. Additionally, the eighth LED control transistor ET8, which is turned on, transmits the high-level signal from the first power supply terminal VGH to the seventh node E7, and the ninth LED control transistor ET9 is turned off. The tenth LED control transistor ET10, which is turned on, outputs the low-level signal from the second power supply terminal VGL, so the signal at the output terminal EOUT becomes low.

[0164] In one exemplary embodiment, the first control transistor GT1 to the eighth control transistor GT8 can be either a P-type transistor or an N-type transistor.
[0165] In one exemplary embodiment, the first power supply terminal VGH continuously provides a high-level signal, and the second power supply terminal VGL continuously provides a low-level signal.
[0166] Taking the first control transistor GT1 to the eighth control transistor GT8 as P-type transistors as an example, Figure 6B As shown, the operation of the control shift register provided by an exemplary embodiment includes the following stages:
[0167] During input phase D1, the signals at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 and the input terminal GIN are low-level signals, while the signal at the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is high-level. Since the signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is low, the first control transistor GT1 is turned on, and the signal at the input terminal GIN is transmitted to the first node G1 via the first control transistor GT1. Because the signal at the eighth control transistor GT8 receives the low-level signal at the second power supply terminal VGL, the eighth control transistor GT8 is in the on state. The level of the third node G3 can control the fifth control transistor GT5 to turn on, and the signal at the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is transmitted to the output terminal GOUT via the fifth control transistor GT5. That is, during input phase D1, the output terminal GOUT is the signal at the second clock signal terminal GCK2, which is high. Additionally, since the signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is low, the third control transistor GT3 is turned on, and the low-level signal at the second power supply terminal VGL is transmitted to the second node G2 via the third control transistor GT3. At this time, both the fourth control transistor GT4 and the sixth control transistor GT6 are turned on. Since the signal at the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is a high-level signal, the seventh control transistor GT7 is turned off.
[0168] In output stage D2, the signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is high, the signal at the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is low, and the signal at the input terminal GIN is high. The fifth control transistor GT5 is turned on, and the signal at the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is used as the signal at the output terminal GOUT via the fifth control transistor GT5. In output stage D2, the level at one end of the second control capacitor GC2 connected to the output terminal OUT becomes the signal at the second power supply terminal VGL. Due to the bootstrap effect of the second control capacitor GC2, the eighth control transistor GT8 is turned off, allowing the fifth control transistor GT5 to be turned on more effectively, resulting in a low signal at the output terminal GOUT. Additionally, the signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is high, thus turning off both the first control transistor GT1 and the third control transistor GT3. The second control transistor GT2 is turned on, and the high-level signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is transmitted to the second node G2 via the second control transistor GT2, thereby turning off both the fourth control transistor GT4 and the sixth control transistor GT6. Since the signal at the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is low, the seventh control transistor GT7 is turned on.
[0169] During buffer phase D3, both the first clock signal terminal GCK1 and the second clock signal terminal GCK2 are high-level signals, and the input terminal GIN is also high-level. The fifth control transistor GT5 is turned on, and the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is used as the output signal GOUT via the fifth control transistor GT5. Due to the bootstrap effect of the second control capacitor C2, the level of the first node G1 becomes VGL-VthN1. Furthermore, the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is high-level, thus the first control transistor GT1 and the third control transistor GT3 are both turned off, the eighth control transistor GT8 is turned on, and the second control transistor GT2 is turned on. The high-level signal of the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is transmitted to the second node G2 via the second control transistor GT2, thereby turning off the fourth control transistor GT4 and the sixth control transistor GT6. Since the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is high-level, the seventh control transistor GT7 is turned off.
[0170] In the first sub-stage D41 of the stable phase D4, the signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is low, while the signals at the second clock signal terminal GCK2 and the input terminal GIN are high. Because the signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is low, the first control transistor GT1 is turned on, and the signal at the input terminal GIN is transmitted to the first node G1 via the first control transistor GT1. The second control transistor GT2 is turned off. Because the eighth control transistor GT8 is on, the fifth control transistor GT5 is turned off. Because the signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is low, the third control transistor GT3 is turned on, and both the fourth and sixth control transistors GT4 and GT6 are turned on. The high-level signal at the first power supply terminal VGH is transmitted to the output terminal GOUT via the fourth control transistor GT4, meaning the signal at the output terminal GOUT is high.
[0171] In the second sub-stage t42 of the stable phase t4, the signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is high, the signal at the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is low, and the signal at the input terminal GIN is high. The fifth control transistor GT5 and the second control transistor GT2 are both off. Because the signal at the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is high, the first control transistor GT1 and the third control transistor GT3 are both off. Due to the holding effect of the first control capacitor GC1, the fourth control transistor GT4 and the sixth control transistor GT6 are both on. The high-level signal is transmitted to the output terminal GOUT via the fourth control transistor GT4, meaning the signal at the output terminal GOUT is high.
[0172] In the second sub-stage t42, since the signal at the second clock signal terminal GCK2 is a low-level signal, the seventh control transistor GT7 is turned on, so that the high-level signal is transmitted to the third node G3 and the first node G1 via the sixth control transistor GT6 and the seventh control transistor GT7, so that the signals of the third node G3 and the first node G1 remain high-level signals.
[0173] In the third sub-stage t43, both the first clock signal terminal GCK1 and the second clock signal GCK2 are high-level signals, and the input terminal GIN is also high-level. The fifth control transistor GT5 and the second control transistor GT2 are off. Because the first clock signal terminal GCK1 is high-level, both the first control transistor GT1 and the third control transistor GT3 are off, while the fourth control transistor GT4 and the sixth control transistor GT6 are on. The high-level signal is transmitted to the output terminal GOUT via the fourth control transistor GT4, meaning the output terminal GOUT is high-level.
[0174] The input terminal of the first-stage control shift register is electrically connected to the control initial signal line, and the output terminal of the i-th-stage control shift register is electrically connected to the input terminal of the (i+1)-th-stage control shift register. The first clock signal terminal of the i-th-stage control shift register is electrically connected to the first control clock signal line, and the second clock signal terminal is electrically connected to the second control clock signal line. The first clock signal terminal of the (i+1)-th-stage control shift register is electrically connected to the second control clock signal line, and the second clock signal terminal is electrically connected to the first control clock signal line. The first power supply terminal of the i-th-stage control shift register is electrically connected to the high-level power supply line connected to the control drive circuit, and the second power supply terminal of the i-th-stage control shift register is electrically connected to the low-level power supply line connected to the control drive circuit.

[0181] In one exemplary embodiment, when the high-level power supply line connected to two adjacent driving circuits in the light-emitting driving circuit EMGOA, the scanning driving circuit GateN GOA, and the control driving circuit GateP GOA is the same power supply line, the orthographic projection of the high-level power supply line on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of one of the driving circuits connected to the high-level power supply line on the substrate, or is located between the two adjacent driving circuits connected; or, when the high-level power supply line connected to the light-emitting driving circuit EMGOA, the scanning driving circuit GateN GOA, and the control driving circuit GateP GOA is the same power supply line, the orthographic projection of the high-level power supply line on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of one of the driving circuits connected to the high-level power supply line on the substrate, or is located between the two adjacent driving circuits.

[0183] In one exemplary embodiment, the positional relationship between the control driving circuit, the scan driving circuit, and the light-emitting control circuit can be determined based on the structure and function of the display substrate.

The control electrode of the ninth scanning transistor ST9 is electrically connected to the seventh node S7, the first electrode of the ninth scanning transistor ST9 is electrically connected to the first power supply terminal VGH, and the second electrode of the ninth scanning transistor ST9 is electrically connected to the output terminal SOUT. The control electrode of the tenth scanning transistor ST10 is electrically connected to the third node S3, the first electrode of the tenth scanning transistor ST10 is electrically connected to the second power supply terminal VGL, and the second electrode of the tenth scanning transistor ST10 is electrically connected to the output terminal SOUT. The control terminal of the eleventh scanning transistor ST11 is electrically connected to the second power supply terminal VGL.

[0191] In one exemplary embodiment, the first scanning transistor ST1 to the thirteenth scanning transistor ST13 can be either P-type transistors or N-type transistors. The tenth scanning transistor ST10 is an output transistor.
[0192] In one exemplary embodiment, the first power supply terminal VGH continuously provides a high-level signal, and the second power supply terminal VGL continuously provides a low-level signal. Because the second power supply terminal VGL continuously provides a low-level signal, the eleventh scan transistor ST11 and the twelfth scan transistor ST12 are continuously turned on.
[0193] In one exemplary embodiment, the second clock signal terminal SCK2 is a low-level signal during the power-on initialization phase to prevent the ninth scan transistor ST9 and the tenth scan transistor ST10 of the last-stage scan shift register from conducting simultaneously due to output signal delay, or it is a low-level signal during the abnormal power-off phase to prevent the ninth scan transistor ST9 and the tenth scan transistor ST10 from conducting simultaneously. The second clock signal terminal SCK2 continuously provides a high-level signal during the normal display phase, meaning that the thirteenth scan transistor ST13 remains continuously off during the normal display phase.
[0194] Taking the first scanning transistor ST1 to the thirteenth scanning transistor ST13 as P-type transistors as an example, such as Figure 8B As shown, the operation of a scan shift register provided in an exemplary embodiment includes the following stages:
[0195] In the first stage C1, the signal at the first clock signal terminal SCK1 is high, and the signal at the third clock signal terminal SCK3 is low. With the third clock signal terminal SCK3 low, the first scanning transistor ST1, the third scanning transistor ST3, and the twelfth scanning transistor ST12 are turned on. The turned-on first scanning transistor ST1 transmits the high-level signal at the input terminal SIN to the first node S1, thus making the level of the first node S1 high. The turned-on twelfth scanning transistor ST12 transmits the high-level signal from the first node S1 to the third node S2. The second scanning transistor ST2, the fourth scanning transistor ST4, the eighth scanning transistor ST8, and the tenth scanning transistor ST10 are turned off. Meanwhile, the turned-on third scanning transistor ST3 transmits the low-level signal at the second power supply terminal VGL to the second node S2, thus making the level of the second node S2 low. The turned-on eleventh scanning transistor ST11 transmits the low-level signal from the second node S2 to the fourth node S4, thus making the level of the fourth node S4 low. The fifth scanning transistor ST5 and the sixth scanning transistor ST6 are turned on. The first clock signal line SCK1 is high, and the seventh scan transistor ST7 is off. Additionally, the ninth scan transistor ST9 is off due to the action of the third scan capacitor SC3. In the first stage P1, since both the ninth and tenth scan transistors ST9 and ST10 are off, the output SOUT signal remains at its previous low level.
[0196] In the second stage C2, the signal at the first clock signal terminal SCK1 is low, and the signal at the third clock signal terminal SCK3 is high. With the first clock signal terminal SCK1 low, the seventh scanning transistor ST7 is turned on. With the third clock signal terminal SCK3 high, the first scanning transistor ST1 and the third scanning transistor ST3 are turned off. Under the influence of the third scanning capacitor SC3, the first node S1 and the third node S3 can maintain the high level signal from the previous stage. Under the influence of the first scanning capacitor SC1, the fourth node S4 can maintain the low level from the previous stage, so the fifth scanning transistor ST5 and the sixth scanning transistor ST6 are turned on. The second scanning transistor ST2, the fourth scanning transistor ST4, the eighth scanning transistor ST8, and the tenth scanning transistor ST10 are turned off. In addition, the low-level signal of the first clock signal terminal SCK1 is transmitted to the seventh node S7 through the sixth scanning transistor ST6 and the seventh scanning transistor ST7, and the ninth scanning transistor ST9 is turned on. The turned-on ninth scanning transistor ST9 outputs the high-level signal of the first power supply terminal VGH, so the signal of the output terminal SOUT is a high-level signal.
[0197] In the third stage C3, the signal at the third clock signal terminal SCK3 is low, and the signal at the first clock signal terminal SCK1 is high. With the first clock signal terminal SCK1 high, the seventh scanning transistor ST7 is turned off. The second, fourth, eighth, and tenth scanning transistors ST2 and ST8 are also turned off. With the third clock signal terminal SCK3 low, the first and third scanning transistors ST1 and ST3 are turned on. Under the influence of the third scanning capacitor SC3, the ninth scanning transistor ST9 remains on, outputting a high-level signal from the first power supply terminal VGH. Therefore, the signal at the output terminal SOUT remains high.
[0198] In the fourth stage C4, the signal at the first clock signal terminal SCK1 is low, and the signal at the third clock signal terminal SCK3 is high. With the third clock signal terminal SCK3 high, the first scanning transistor ST1 and the third scanning transistor ST3 are turned off. With the first clock signal terminal SCK1 low, the seventh scanning transistor ST7 is turned on. Due to the storage effect of the third scanning capacitor SC3, the levels at the first node S1 and the third node S3 remain high from the previous stage, thus turning off scanning transistors ST2, ST4, ST8, and ST10. Due to the storage effect of the first scanning capacitor SC1, the fourth node S4 continues to remain low from the previous stage, thus turning on the fifth scanning transistor ST5 and the sixth scanning transistor ST6. Furthermore, the low-level signal at the first clock signal terminal SCK1 is transmitted to the seventh node S7 through the turned-on sixth scanning transistor ST6 and seventh scanning transistor ST7. The turned-on ninth scanning transistor ST9 outputs a high-level signal at the first power supply terminal VGH, so the signal at the output terminal SOUT remains high.
[0199] In stage C5, the signal at the first clock signal terminal SCK1 is high, and the signal at the third clock signal terminal SCK3 is low. When the signal at the third clock signal terminal SCK3 is low, the first scanning transistor ST1 and the third scanning transistor ST3 are turned on. When the signal at the first clock signal terminal SCK1 is high, the seventh scanning transistor ST7 is turned off. The turned-on first scanning transistor ST1 transmits the low-level signal at the input terminal SIN to the first node S1, thus making the level of the first node S1 low. The turned-on twelfth scanning transistor ST12 transmits the low-level signal from the first node S1 to the third node S3, thus making the level of the third node S3 low. The second scanning transistor ST2, the fourth scanning transistor ST4, the eighth scanning transistor ST8, and the tenth scanning transistor ST10 are turned on. The second scanning transistor ST2, when turned on, transmits the low-level signal of the third clock signal terminal SCK3 to the second node S2, further pulling down the level of the second node S2. Therefore, the second node S2 and the fourth node S4 remain at the low level of the previous stage, causing the fifth scanning transistor ST5 and the sixth scanning transistor ST6 to be turned on. The signal of the first clock signal terminal SCK1 is a high-level signal, and the seventh scanning transistor ST7 is turned off. Additionally, the eighth scanning transistor ST8, when turned on, transmits the high-level signal of the first power supply terminal VGH to the seventh node S7, and the ninth scanning transistor ST9 is turned off. The tenth scanning transistor ST10, when turned on, outputs the low-level signal of the second power supply terminal VGL, so the signal at the output terminal SOUT becomes low.
