[0153] Figure 4 for Figure 3 The working timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit provided is as follows. Figure 3 The operation process of the exemplary pixel driving circuit in the display phase is used to illustrate an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 The description is made by taking the second transistor M2 as an N-type transistor, the first transistor M1, the third transistor M3 to the seventh transistor M7 as P-type transistors, and the signal of the second reset signal line Reset2 being the same as the signal of the first reset signal line Reset1 as an example.

[0154] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the working process of the pixel driving circuit may include:
[0155] The first stage P1 is called the initialization stage. The signals of the first reset signal line Reset1 and the second reset signal line Reset2 are high-level signals. The first transistor M1 is turned on. The signal of the first initial signal line INIT1 is written into the first node N1 or the third node N3 through the turned-on first transistor M1, and the first node N1 or the third node N3 is initialized (reset), and the pre-stored voltage inside it is cleared to complete the initialization. The seventh transistor M7 is turned on, and the signal of the second initial signal line INIT2 is written into the fourth node N4 through the turned-on seventh transistor M7, and the first electrode of the light-emitting device L is initialized (reset), and the pre-stored voltage inside it is cleared to complete the initialization.
[0156] The second stage P2 is called the data writing stage or the threshold compensation stage. The signal of the first scanning signal line Gate1 is a low level signal, the signal of the second scanning signal line Gate2 is a high level signal, and the data signal line Data outputs a data voltage. In this stage, since the first node N1 is a low level signal, the third transistor M3 is turned on. The signal of the first scanning signal line Gate1 is a low level signal, the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, the signal of the second scanning signal line Gate2 is a high level signal, the second transistor M2 is turned on, and the data voltage output by the data signal line Data is provided to the first node N1 through the turned-on fourth transistor M4, the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor M3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor M2, and the difference between the data voltage output by the data signal line Data and the threshold voltage of the third transistor M3 is charged into the capacitor C until the voltage of the first node N1 is Vd-|Vth|, Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line Data, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor M3.
[0157] The third stage P3 is called the light-emitting stage. The signal of the light-emitting signal line EM is a low-level signal. The fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 are turned on. The power supply voltage output by the high-level power line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting device L through the turned-on fifth transistor M5, the third transistor M3 and the sixth transistor M6, thereby driving the light-emitting device L to emit light.
[0158] During the driving process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor M3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode. Since the voltage of the first node N1 is Vd-|Vth|, the driving current of the third transistor M3 is:
[0159] I=K*(Vgs-Vth) 2 =K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth] 2 =K*(Vdd-Vd) 2
[0160] Among them, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor M3, that is, the driving current driving the light-emitting device L, K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor M3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor M3, Vd is the data voltage output by the data signal line Data, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the high-level power supply line VDD.
[0161] In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting device L may include: any one of an organic light-emitting diode OLED, a quantum dot light-emitting diode, and an inorganic light-emitting diode. For example, the light-emitting device may be a micron-level light-emitting device, such as a micro light-emitting diode (Micro Light-Emitting Diode, referred to as Micro LED), a sub-millimeter light-emitting diode (Mini Light-Emitting Diode, referred to as Mini LED) or a micro organic light-emitting diode (Micro OLED), etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. For example, taking the light-emitting device L as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) as an example, the light-emitting device may include: a stacked first electrode (for example, as an anode), an organic light-emitting layer, and a second electrode (for example, as a cathode).
[0162] In an exemplary embodiment, the organic light emitting layer may include a light emitting layer (EML) and any one or more of the following layers: a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL). In an exemplary embodiment, one or more of the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, the electron blocking layer, the hole blocking layer, the electron transport layer, and the electron injection layer of all sub-pixels may be a common layer connected together, and the light emitting layers of adjacent sub-pixels may have a small amount of overlap, or may be isolated.
[0163] In an exemplary embodiment, the gate driver includes at least one gate driving circuit. The number of gate driving circuits depends on the gate signal line. Figure 3 Taking the display substrate of the provided pixel driving circuit as an example, the gate driving circuit includes: a first scanning driving circuit, a second scanning driving circuit and a light-emitting driving circuit. Among them, the first scanning driving circuit is electrically connected to the first scanning signal line, the first reset signal line and the second reset signal line. The second scanning driving circuit is electrically connected to the second scanning signal. The light-emitting driving circuit is electrically connected to the light-emitting signal line.
[0164] In an exemplary embodiment, any gate driving circuit in the gate driver may include: a plurality of cascaded shift registers.
[0165] The display product includes: a gate drive circuit and multiple sub-pixels. The sub-pixels include a pixel drive circuit. When the display product displays a picture, the gate drive circuit generates a drive signal, and the pixel drive circuit is initialized and data is written under the control of the drive signal to achieve display. When the display product displays, it will refresh the surface in each frame, that is, the pixel drive circuit needs to be initialized and data written in each display frame. For some special pictures (for example: off-screen display pictures, static pictures or less updated pictures, etc.), the pixel drive circuit does not need to be initialized and data written in at least some display frames, and the original brightness can be maintained by a low-leakage pixel drive circuit. The gate drive circuit of the display product will generate a drive signal in each frame regardless of the picture displayed, and repeatedly initialize and write data to the pixel drive circuit, so that the shift register cannot achieve different refresh rates in the same display area, resulting in high power consumption of the display product.
[0166] To this end, the present disclosure provides a shift register.

[0173] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal of either the first clock signal terminal CK or the second clock signal terminal CB is a square wave signal that repeats high voltage and low voltage. Exemplarily, the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK and the second clock signal terminal CB may have the same period and may be configured as a phase-shifted signal. Here, the signal of the second clock signal terminal CB may be phase-shifted by half a period compared to the signal of the first clock signal terminal CK. The high voltage period of the signal of either the first clock signal terminal CK or the second clock signal terminal CB in each period may be set to be longer than the low voltage period.
[0174] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal at the masking signal terminal MS may be a low level signal or a high level signal. When the signal at the masking signal terminal MS is a low level signal, it may be -20V to -5V, and when the signal at the masking signal terminal MS is a high level signal, it may be 5V to 20V.
[0175] The present invention realizes that the cascade signal and the drive signal are output by different sub-circuits by setting a cascade sub-circuit to output a cascade signal provided by other shift registers to a cascade output signal terminal, and setting a selection sub-circuit to output a drive signal provided by a pixel drive circuit to a drive signal output terminal, thereby ensuring that the cascade signal and the drive signal are output by different sub-circuits. Whether to output the drive signal to the pixel drive circuit can be controlled while ensuring the normal output of the cascade signal.
[0176] The shift register provided by the present invention can control the enabling subcircuit according to the signal of the masking signal end according to the refresh rate requirement of the display area through the cooperation of the cascade subcircuit and the enabling subcircuit, so as to realize the control of the signal output by the driving signal output end, and realize different refresh rates in different display areas, that is, the coexistence of high and low refresh rates can be realized in the same frame image, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to realizing different refresh rates in a fixed area of the display panel, and can realize dynamic refresh of any area, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display panel.
