[0072] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0073] The transistors used in all embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors, field effect transistors, or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, to distinguish the two electrodes of the transistor other than the gate, one electrode is referred to as the first electrode and the other electrode is referred to as the second electrode.
[0074] In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor, the first electrode may be a drain, and the second electrode may be a source; or, the first electrode may be a source, and the second electrode may be a drain.
[0075] As shown in FIG1 , the driving circuit according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pull-up node noise reduction circuit 11 , an input circuit 12 , a first output noise reduction circuit 13 , and a pull-down node noise reduction circuit 14 ;
[0076] The pull-up node noise reduction circuit 11 is electrically connected to the pull-up node PU, the pull-up node noise reduction control terminal K1 and the first voltage terminal V1. Under the control of the pull-up node noise reduction control signal provided by the pull-up node noise reduction control terminal K1, the pull-up node noise reduction circuit 11 controls the connection between the pull-up node PU and the first voltage terminal V1;
[0077] The input circuit 12 is electrically connected to the input terminal I1 and the pull-up node PU, respectively, and is used to control the potential of the pull-up node PU under the control of the input signal provided by the input terminal I1;
[0078] The first output noise reduction circuit 13 is electrically connected to the pull-down node PD, the output terminal O1 and the second voltage terminal V2, respectively, and is used to control the connection between the output terminal O1 and the second voltage terminal V2 under the control of the potential of the pull-down node PD;
[0079] The pull-down node noise reduction circuit 14 is electrically connected to the pull-down node PD, the pull-down node noise reduction control terminal K2, and the third voltage terminal V3, respectively, and is configured to control the connection between the pull-down node PD and the third voltage terminal V3 under the control of the pull-down node noise reduction control signal provided by the pull-down node noise reduction control terminal K2;
[0080] At least one transistor included in the driving circuit is a floating process transistor, comprising a floating electrode, a gate, a first electrode, and a second electrode; the floating electrode is disposed in the same layer as at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode of the floating process transistor; the floating electrode is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode of the floating process transistor, and no electrical signal is input to the floating electrode; and the shortest distance between the first electrode of the floating process transistor and the second electrode of the floating process transistor is greater than an initial distance.
[0081] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the floating electrode having no electrical signal input may mean that the floating electrode is in a floating state, that is, a structurally disconnected and isolated state, or may mean that the floating electrode is structurally connected but has no signal input.
[0082] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first voltage terminal, the second voltage terminal, and the third voltage terminal may all be low voltage terminals.
[0083] In the driver circuit described in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, in a floating process transistor, the shortest distance between the first electrode and the second electrode is greater than an initial distance to increase the threshold voltage of the floating process transistor. A floating electrode is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the floating electrode has no signal input, so that the metal density on the first metal layer (the first electrode, the second electrode, and the floating electrode are all located in the first metal layer) does not vary significantly within a unit area.
[0084] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the initial distance may be the shortest distance between the first electrode of the transistor and the second electrode of the transistor when the source and drain of the transistor are not floated; optionally, the first electrode may be the source and the second electrode may be the drain.

[0086] The floating electrode is not connected to any electrical signal and is in a floating state.
[0087] As shown in FIG. 2 , the length of the channel of the floating process transistor is long, and therefore the threshold voltage of the floating process transistor is increased.
[0088] The first metal layer can be a source-drain metal layer. After the source-drain metal layer is completed, a passivation layer needs to be made. Plasma treatment is used when making the passivation layer. In order to make the effect of plasma acting on the active layer roughly consistent with when the source-drain floating treatment is not performed on the transistor, it is necessary to ensure that the metal density on the first metal layer (the first electrode, the second electrode and the floating electrode are all located on the first metal layer) does not change much.

[0091] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the floating electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode of the floating process transistor are all located in a first metal layer;
[0092] The shortest distance between the first electrode and the second electrode is greater than or equal to the first distance and less than or equal to the second distance;
[0093] The first distance is the difference between the initial distance L0 and 3 μm, and the second distance is the sum of the initial distance L0 and 3 μm.
[0094] In a specific implementation, on the first metal layer, the shortest distance between two adjacent electrodes may be greater than or equal to the first distance and less than or equal to the second distance.
[0095] As shown in FIG2 , the shortest distance between S1 and F1 is L1 , and the shortest distance between F1 and D1 is L2 . L1 is greater than or equal to the first distance and less than or equal to the second distance, and L2 is greater than or equal to the first distance and less than or equal to the second distance.

[0098] The shortest distance between F1 and D1 may refer to the shortest distance between the orthographic projection of F1 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of D1 on the substrate.

[0130] Optionally, the transistor included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit may be a high-mobility oxide TFT (thin film transistor), but is not limited thereto.
[0131] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the transistors included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit are subjected to a source-drain floating process, resolving the issue of the pull-up node voltage being pulled down by the first low-voltage signal provided by the first low-voltage terminal. This, in turn, addresses the issue of insufficient high-voltage output or no output from a high-mobility GOA (Gate On Array, a gate driver circuit provided on an array substrate). As shown in Figure 4, after the transistors included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit are subjected to a source-drain floating process, the voltage at the pull-up node PU and the drive signal provided by the drive signal output terminal Gout are normal.
[0132] In a specific implementation, when the transistors included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit are turned off, their gate-source voltages are greater than or equal to 0V. In the related art, the threshold voltage of the high-mobility oxide TFT is about 0V, and the SS (subthreshold swing) is small. When the threshold voltage of the transistors included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit is negatively offset by 0.5V, the current of the transistors included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit when the gate-source voltage is equal to 0V will increase by one order of magnitude. Based on this, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure performs source-drain floating processing on the transistors included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit to increase the threshold voltage of the transistors included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit, so that the threshold voltage of the transistors included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit is greater than 0, thereby ensuring a good off state when the gate-source voltage of the transistors included in the pull-up node noise reduction circuit is 0V, and the leakage current is more than 5 orders of magnitude smaller than that of the transistors that are not subjected to source-drain floating processing.
