[0056] Exemplarily, the active layer 210 of the first output transistor T10 and the active layer 29 of the second output transistor T9 are arranged along the first direction.
[0057] Exemplarily, the first level signal line VGL' is used to transmit a first level signal, and the second level signal line VGH' is used to transmit a second level signal; for example: the first level signal includes a low level signal, and the second level signal includes a high level signal, but is not limited thereto.
[0058] It should be noted that Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a first level signal input terminal VGL and a second level signal input terminal VGH. The first level signal input terminal VGL is coupled to the first level signal line VGL′, and the second level signal input terminal VGH is coupled to the second level signal line VGH′.
[0059] like Figures 5 to 11 , Figures 13 to 18 As shown, illustratively, the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the first level signal line VGL' on the substrate substrate and the orthographic projection of the output transistor on the substrate substrate. The shift register unit further includes an eleventh conductive connection portion 42, which is respectively coupled to the first electrode of the first output transistor T10 and the first level signal line VGL', and the orthographic projection of the eleventh conductive connection portion 42 on the substrate substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate substrate.
[0060] like Figures 5 to 11As shown, illustratively, the shift register unit further includes a first conductive connection portion 51, the first conductive connection portion 51 is respectively coupled to the first electrode of the input transistor T1, and the tenth conductive connection portion 41, the tenth conductive connection portion 41 is coupled to the gate drive signal output terminal of the previous stage shift register unit. The orthographic projection of the first conductive connection portion 51 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projections of the first level signal line VGL' and the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate.

The orthographic projection of the twelfth conductive connection portion 61 on the substrate is located between the orthographic projections of the first level signal line VGL' and the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate.
[0062] like Figures 5 to 11 As shown, exemplarily, the distance between the orthographic projection of the second plate C32 of the third capacitor C3 in the shift register unit 10 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the tenth conductive connection part 41 on the substrate is greater than the distance between the orthographic projection of the active layer 29 of the second output transistor T9 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the tenth conductive connection part 41 on the substrate; this arrangement enables the plate of the third capacitor C3 to be away from the tenth conductive connection part 41, thereby effectively reducing the coupling effect of the signal transmitted by the tenth conductive connection part 41 on the third capacitor C3.
[0063] According to the specific structure of the above-mentioned display substrate, in the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the orthographic projection of the output transistor on the base substrate to be located on the first side of the orthographic projection of the second-level signal line VGH' on the base substrate, the orthographic projections of other transistor structures in the shift register unit 10 except the output transistor on the base substrate are located on the second side of the orthographic projection of the second-level signal line VGH' on the base substrate; so that the second-level signal line VGH' can separate the output transistor from the other transistor structures, thereby effectively reducing the coupling between the output node (such as the first output node N3 and the second output node N5) of the control output transistor and the other transistor structures, as well as the nodes coupled with the other transistor structures, avoiding the output node from being affected by the coupling, and further avoiding the output transistor from being affected by the coupling, thereby ensuring that the gate drive signal output terminal OUT can output stably, effectively reducing the disturbance effect on the output waveform, and effectively improving the reliability of the shift register unit.
[0064] Therefore, in the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the voltage stability of the internal nodes of the shift register unit 10 is effectively improved, and the stability of the output signal of the shift register unit 10 is also improved.
[0065] like Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register unit 10 further includes: a first coupling node N0 and a second capacitor C2; a first plate C21 of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to the first output node N3, and a second plate C22 of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to the first coupling node N0;
[0066] The orthographic projection of the second electrode plate C22 of the second capacitor C2 on the base substrate is located at a second side of the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the base substrate and is adjacent to the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the base substrate.
[0067] Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the base substrate of the display substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the second plate C22 of the second capacitor C2 on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the active layer 210 of the first output transistor T10 on the base substrate.
[0068] Exemplarily, the gate 310 of the first output transistor T10 and the first plate C21 of the second capacitor C2 form an integrated structure, and the orthographic projection of the integrated structure on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH′ on the substrate.
[0069] The above arrangement enables the second capacitor C2 to be arranged near the second level signal line VGH', effectively reducing the coupling effect of other AC signals on the second capacitor C2; further, the above arrangement enables the second level signal line VGH' to separate the second capacitor C2 and the first output transistor T10, reducing the coupling effect of other AC signals on the gate 310 potential of the first output transistor T10 through the second capacitor C2, reducing the gate 310 coupling capacitance of the first output transistor T10, thereby effectively reducing the step formed in the process of lowering the potential of the first output node N3, so that the gate drive signal output terminal OUT can output stably, effectively reducing the disturbance effect of the output waveform. Therefore, in the display substrate provided by the above embodiment, the voltage stability of the internal node (such as the first output node N3) of the shift register unit 10 is effectively improved, and the stability of the output signal of the shift register unit 10 is improved.
[0070] In more detail, Figure 4 As shown, in the layout of the existing shift register unit 10, there is a large step (such as L1) in the waveform when the first output node N3 is pulled down; in the layout of the shift register unit 10 of the display substrate provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the step height of the waveform is greatly reduced (such as L2) when the first output node N3 is pulled down.
[0071] like Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the base substrate of the display substrate is located between the orthographic projection of the second electrode plate C22 of the second capacitor C2 on the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the active layer 210 of the first output transistor T10 on the base substrate;
[0072] The shift register unit 10 also includes an eighth control transistor T11; a gate 311 of the eighth control transistor T11 is coupled to the first output node N3, a first electrode of the eighth control transistor T11 is coupled to the first clock signal input terminal CKB, and a second electrode of the eighth control transistor T11 is coupled to the first coupling node N0; an orthographic projection of a second electrode plate C22 of the second capacitor C2 on the substrate and an orthographic projection of an active layer 211 of the eighth control transistor T11 on the substrate are arranged along the first direction.
[0073] Exemplarily, the eighth control transistor T11 includes a dual-gate transistor structure, but is not limited thereto.
[0074] Exemplarily, the active layer 211 of the eighth control transistor T11 extends along the first direction, which helps to reduce the layout space occupied by the eighth control transistor T11 as a whole along the second direction.
[0075] Illustratively, along the first direction, the orthographic projection of the active layer 211 of the eighth control transistor T11 on the base substrate is adjacent to the orthographic projection of the second plate C22 of the second capacitor C2 on the base substrate; along the second direction, the orthographic projection of the active layer 211 of the eighth control transistor T11 on the base substrate is adjacent to the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the base substrate.
[0076] Exemplarily, the gate 311 of the eighth control transistor T11, the gate 310 of the first output transistor T10 and the first electrode plate C21 of the second capacitor C2 form an integrated structure.
[0077] The above-mentioned configuration enables the eighth control transistor T11, the second capacitor C2 and the first output transistor T10 to be centrally arranged, which not only reduces the difficulty of connection among the three and ensures the reliability of the connection, but also helps to reduce the overall layout space occupied by the shift register unit 10, which is conducive to achieving a narrow frame for the display substrate.
[0078] like Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the shift register unit 10 also includes a third capacitor C3, a first plate C31 of the third capacitor C3 is coupled to the gate 39 of the second output transistor T9, and a second plate C32 of the third capacitor C3 is coupled to the second level signal line VGH'; the orthographic projection of the second plate C32 of the third capacitor C3 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate.
[0079] Exemplarily, the first plate C31 of the third capacitor C3 and the gate 39 of the second output transistor T9 form an integral structure. The orthographic projection of the first plate C31 of the third capacitor C3 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate.
[0080] Exemplarily, the display substrate also includes multiple rows of sub-pixel rows; when the shift register unit 10 is used to drive two rows of sub-pixel rows, the second plate C32 of the third capacitor C3 extends along the first direction; when the shift register unit 10 is used to drive one row of sub-pixel rows, the second plate C32 of the third capacitor C3 extends along the second direction.
[0081] Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the second electrode plate C32 of the third capacitor C3 on the substrate is located inside the orthographic projection of the first electrode plate C31 of the third capacitor C3 on the substrate.
[0082] The orthographic projection of the second electrode plate C32 of the third capacitor C3 on the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate, which better saves the layout space occupied by the entire shift register unit 10 and is conducive to realizing a narrow frame of the display substrate.
[0083] like Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the second level signal line VGH' extends along a first direction; the active layer 210 of the first output transistor T10 and the active layer 29 of the second output transistor T9 are arranged along the first direction, and the orthographic projection of the second plate C32 of the third capacitor C3 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the active layer 29 of the second output transistor T9 on the substrate are arranged along a second direction, and the second direction intersects with the first direction.
[0084] Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the second output transistor T9 on the substrate is located on the first side of the orthographic projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate along the second direction. This arrangement enables the second level signal line VGH' to separate the first output transistor T10 and the second output transistor T9 from other functional structures (such as other transistors, capacitors, etc.), thereby reducing the interference of the first output transistor T10 and the second output transistor T9 with other functional structures, and better ensuring the output stability of the first output transistor T10 and the second output transistor T9.

The shift register unit 10 can be used for EM GOA (luminescence control shift register unit), ResetGOA (reset control shift register unit), Scan GOA (gate scan drive shift register unit).
[0146] It should be noted that the types of transistors included in the shift register unit 10 are various and are not limited to P-type transistors. For example, N-type transistors may also be used, but are not limited thereto.
[0147] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, taking EM GOA as an example, the working process of the shift register unit 10 is as follows:
[0148] In the P1 phase, the signal inputted by the input signal terminal STV is at a low level, the second clock signal inputted by the second clock signal input terminal CK is at a high level, the first clock signal inputted by the first clock signal input terminal CKB is at a low level, the first reset transistor T10 is turned on, and the gate drive signal output terminal OUT outputs a first level signal.
[0149] In the P2 stage, the signal input by the input signal terminal STV is at a high level, the second clock signal input by the second clock signal input terminal CK is at a low level, the first clock signal input by the first clock signal input terminal CKB is at a high level, the input transistor T1 and the sixth control transistor T7 are turned on, and the gate drive signal output terminal OUT maintains the potential of the first level signal.
[0150] In the P3 and P4 stages, the signal input by the input signal terminal STV is high level, the second clock signal input by the second clock signal input terminal CK is high level, the first clock signal input by the first clock signal input terminal CKB is low level, the second output transistor T9 is turned on, and the gate drive signal output terminal OUT outputs a second level signal.
[0151] In the stage between P3 and P4, the signal input by the input signal terminal STV is at a high level, the second clock signal input by the second clock signal input terminal CK alternates between a high level and a low level, the first clock signal input by the first clock signal input terminal CKB alternates between a high level and a low level, and the gate drive signal output terminal OUT continuously outputs a second level signal.
[0152] In the P5 stage, the signal input by the input signal terminal STV is at a low level, the second clock signal input by the second clock signal input terminal CK is at a low level, the first clock signal input by the first clock signal input terminal CKB is at a high level, the first reset transistor T10 is turned on, and the gate drive signal output terminal OUT outputs a first level signal.
[0153] In the P6 stage, the signal input by the input signal terminal STV is at a low level, the second clock signal input by the second clock signal input terminal CK is at a high level, the first clock signal input by the first clock signal input terminal CKB is at a low level, the first reset transistor T10 is turned on, and the gate drive signal output terminal OUT outputs a first level signal.
[0154] In the above-mentioned shift register unit 10, the eighth control transistor T11 can control the conduction or disconnection of the electrical connection between the first coupling node N0 and the first clock signal input terminal CKB, so that the potential of the first coupling node N0 can be the same as the potential of the clock signal input by the first clock signal input terminal CKB; at the same time, the second capacitor C2 can control the potential of the first output node N3 according to the potential of the first coupling node N0; in this way, when the gate drive signal output terminal OUT is reset, the first coupling node can be controlled to have a suitable potential by controlling the first clock signal input terminal CKB to input a signal with a suitable potential, thereby being able to control the potential of the first output node N3 to be quickly lowered, eliminating the step formed in the process of lowering the potential of the first output node N3, so that the gate drive signal output terminal OUT can output stably, effectively reducing the disturbance influence of the output waveform.

[0157] It should be noted that the display device can be any product or component with a display function, such as a television, a monitor, a digital photo frame, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc., wherein the display device also includes a flexible circuit board, a printed circuit board and a backplane, etc.
[0158] In the display substrate provided by the above embodiment, the positive projection of the output transistor on the substrate substrate is located on the first side of the positive projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate substrate, and the positive projection of other transistor structures in the shift register unit 10 except the output transistor on the substrate substrate is located on the second side of the positive projection of the second level signal line VGH' on the substrate substrate; so that the second level signal line VGH' can separate the output transistor from other transistor structures, thereby effectively reducing the coupling between the output node (such as the first output node N3 and the second output node N5) of the control output transistor and other transistor structures, as well as the nodes coupled with other transistor structures, avoiding the output node from being affected by the coupling, and then avoiding the output transistor from being affected by the coupling, thereby ensuring that the gate drive signal output terminal OUT can output stably, effectively reducing the disturbance effect on the output waveform, and effectively improving the reliability of the shift register unit. Therefore, in the display substrate provided by the above embodiment, the voltage stability of the internal nodes of the shift register unit 10 is effectively improved, and the stability of the output signal of the shift register unit 10 is improved.
