[0118] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0119] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, similar words such as "one", "one" or "the" do not indicate quantitative restrictions, but indicate that there is at least one. "Including" or "comprising" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects.
[0120] The "multiple or several" mentioned in this disclosure refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0121] In the related art, the shift register will access a group of clock signals with opposite timings, and for clock signals with the same timing, the same clock signal line will be used for transmission. For display products with higher resolution, the more the level of the shift register in the internally integrated gate drive circuit is, the more the capacitance and resistance load of the same clock signal line will be. The increase in load will extend the time for the shift register to output the signal, thereby affecting the effective working time of the pixel, and then affecting the display screen. At the same time, the more the level of the shift register in the gate drive circuit is, the more transistors are connected to the same clock signal line, and the greater the parasitic capacitance generated, which further affects the display screen. In addition, the more the level of the shift register in the gate drive circuit is, the more transistors are connected to the same power signal line, and the load increases, which easily causes the power signal transmitted by the power signal line to fluctuate, and ultimately causes fine horizontal stripes and other defects on the display screen, affecting the display effect.
[0122] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shift register, which includes a first clock signal line, a second clock signal line, a third clock signal line, a fourth clock signal line, an input sub-circuit, a first control sub-circuit, a second control sub-circuit and an output sub-circuit; the input sub-circuit is configured to control the potential of the first node and the second node in response to the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal line and the second clock signal provided by the second clock signal line; the first control sub-circuit is configured to control the potential of the first node in response to the signal of the second node and the third clock signal provided by the third clock signal line; the second control sub-circuit is configured to control the potential of the third node in response to the signal of the first node, the signal of the second node and the fourth clock signal provided by the fourth clock signal line; the output sub-circuit is configured to output a first output signal in response to the potential of the first node, or to output a second output signal in response to the potential of the third node.
[0123] The shift register provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes multiple clock signal lines, namely a first clock signal line, a second clock signal line, a third clock signal line, and a fourth clock signal line. The multiple clock signal lines are used to provide clock signals, thereby dispersing the load on a single clock signal line in the above-mentioned related technology, thereby reducing product power consumption and improving display effects.

The second control subcircuit 3 is configured to respond to the signal of the first node N1, the signal of the second node N2 and the fourth clock signal CK4, and control the potential of the third node N3 according to the fourth clock signal CK4 and the fourth power signal.
[0133] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, the output subcircuit 4 is electrically connected to the first node N1 and the third node N3. On this basis, the output subcircuit 4 is configured to output a first output signal in response to a signal at the first node N1, or to output a second output signal in response to a signal at the third node N3.
[0134] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the shift register further includes a second power signal line VGL2, wherein the second power signal line VGL2 is used to provide a second power signal. The output subcircuit 4 in the shift register is electrically connected to the second power signal line VGL2 and the third power signal line VGH1. The output subcircuit 4 is configured to respond to the signal of the first node N1 and output the first output signal according to the second power signal. Alternatively, the output subcircuit 4 is configured to respond to the signal of the third node N3 and output the second output signal according to the third power signal.
[0135] The first output signal and the second output signal can both be used as gate row scanning signals of the pixel driving circuit, and can also be used as input signals of the next stage shift register cascaded to the current stage shift register.
[0136] Exemplarily, the input signal is a pulse signal; the first output signal is a low level signal, and the second output signal is a high level signal.
[0137] Exemplarily, the first power signal line VGL1 and the second power signal line VGL2 are the same, and are different from the third power signal line VGH1 and the fourth power signal line VGH2. That is, the first power signal and the second power signal are the same and can be transmitted using the same power signal line.
[0138] Exemplarily, the third power signal line VGH1 is the same as the fourth power signal line VGH2 and is different from the first power signal line VGL1 and the second power signal line VGL2. That is, the third power signal is the same as the fourth power signal and can be transmitted using the same power signal line.
[0139] Exemplarily, the first power signal line VGL1, the second power signal line VGL2, the third power signal line VGH1 and the fourth power signal line VGH2 are all different. In this case, the first power signal and the second power signal can be the same, and the third power signal and the fourth power signal can be the same, but they are transmitted using different power signal lines.
[0140] Exemplarily, when the first power signal line VGL1, the second power signal line VGL2, the third power signal line VGH1 and the fourth power signal line VGH2 are all different, the first power signal and the second power signal may be the same or different. The third power signal and the fourth power signal may be the same or different. However, the potential of the first power signal and the potential of the second power signal are both smaller than the potential of the third power signal and the potential of the fourth power signal.
[0141] The shift register provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes multiple clock signal lines, namely, a first clock signal line, a second clock signal line, a third clock signal line, and a fourth clock signal line. Multiple clock signal lines are used to provide clock signals to disperse the load on a single clock signal line in the above-mentioned related technology, so that the number of transistors connected to a single clock signal line can be reduced, so as to shorten the signal output time, reduce the power consumption of the product, and improve the uniformity of the large-screen display quality. In addition, for the same power supply signal, such as the first power supply signal and the second power supply signal, the same power supply signal line (that is, the first power supply signal line VGL1 and the second power supply signal line VGL2 are the same) can be used for transmission; for example, the third power supply signal and the fourth power supply signal can both be used for transmission using the same power supply signal line (the third power supply signal line VGH1 and the fourth power supply signal line VGH2 are the same). In this way, the signal line layout space can be reduced, which is conducive to achieving a narrow frame. Alternatively, for the same power supply signal, different power supply signal lines are used for transmission. For example, the first power signal and the second power signal can be transmitted using different first power signal lines VGL1 and second power signal lines VGL2; the third power signal and the fourth power signal can be transmitted using different third power signal lines VGH1 and fourth power signal lines VGH2. This can avoid signal fluctuations caused by excessive load on a single power signal line, which is conducive to improving the stability of signal output.
[0142] In some embodiments, Figure 2Example 1 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is a timing diagram of each clock signal line within a clock cycle, such as Figure 2 As shown, within a clock cycle T, the pulse of the first clock signal precedes the pulse of the second clock signal, the pulse of the second clock signal precedes the pulse of the third clock signal, and the pulse of the third clock signal precedes the pulse of the fourth clock signal.
[0143] It should be noted that the "pulse" of the clock signal here refers to the trigger period of the effective level of a clock signal. The present disclosure takes the effective level as a low level as an example. A low-level signal corresponding to a rising edge turning into a falling edge is recorded as a pulse of the clock signal.
[0144] Exemplarily, the pulse width of the effective level of the first clock signal, the pulse width of the effective level of the second clock signal, the pulse width of the effective level of the third clock signal, and the pulse width of the effective level of the fourth clock signal are consistent.
[0145] For example, within a clock cycle T, the effective level cut-off time of the first clock signal can be used as the triggering time of the effective level of the second clock signal; the effective level cut-off time of the second clock signal can be used as the triggering time of the effective level of the third clock signal; the effective level cut-off time of the third clock signal can be used as the triggering time of the effective level of the fourth clock signal.
[0146] Exemplarily, within a clock cycle T, there is a preset time interval between the cut-off moment of the effective level of the first clock signal and the triggering moment of the effective level of the second clock signal; there is a preset time interval between the cut-off moment of the effective level of the second clock signal and the triggering moment of the effective level of the third clock signal; there is a preset time interval between the cut-off moment of the effective level of the third clock signal and the triggering moment of the effective level of the fourth clock signal; wherein the preset time interval is less than the time interval of the effective level.
[0147] This embodiment uses clock signals with different timings. The timings of the first clock signal, the second clock signal, the third clock signal and the fourth clock signal are changed in sequence. Compared with the situation where the timings are the same, it is possible to avoid signal mutations caused by changing the timings at the same time, which would affect the display effect.
[0148] In some embodiments, Figure 3 Example 2 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is a timing diagram of each clock signal line within a clock cycle, such as Figure 3 As shown, within a clock cycle T, the pulse of the first clock signal precedes the pulse of the second clock signal, the pulse of the second clock signal precedes the pulse of the fourth clock signal, and the pulse of the fourth clock signal precedes the pulse of the third clock signal.
[0149] For example, within a clock cycle T, the effective level cut-off time of the first clock signal can be used as the triggering time of the effective level of the second clock signal; the effective level cut-off time of the second clock signal can be used as the triggering time of the effective level of the fourth clock signal; the effective level cut-off time of the fourth clock signal can be used as the triggering time of the effective level of the third clock signal.
[0150] Exemplarily, within a clock cycle T, there is a preset time interval between the cut-off moment of the effective level of the first clock signal and the triggering moment of the effective level of the second clock signal; there is a preset time interval between the cut-off moment of the effective level of the second clock signal and the triggering moment of the effective level of the fourth clock signal; there is a preset time interval between the cut-off moment of the effective level of the fourth clock signal and the triggering moment of the effective level of the third clock signal; wherein the preset time interval is less than the time interval of the effective level.
[0151] This embodiment uses clock signals with different timings. The timings of the first clock signal, the second clock signal, the fourth clock signal and the third clock signal are changed in sequence. Compared with the situation where the timings are the same, it is possible to avoid signal mutations caused by changing the timings at the same time, which would affect the display effect.
[0152] In some embodiments, Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the first clock signal, the second clock signal, the third clock signal, and the fourth clock signal have the same potential at valid levels and the same potential at invalid levels.
[0153] In some embodiments, Figure 4 Example 3 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is a timing diagram of each clock signal line within a clock cycle, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 have the same timing. The fourth clock signal CK4 and the third clock signal CK3 have the same timing.
[0154] It should be noted that the timing in the circuit refers to the switching of the signal between high and low potentials in the order of time. The same timing means that the potential jump time nodes of the compared signals are consistent, but it does not mean that the potentials of the two are the same at the same time node.
[0155] like Figure 4 As shown, the timing of the third clock signal CK3 is opposite to that of the first clock signal CK1. The opposite timing means that the potential transition time nodes of the compared signals are inconsistent within the same clock cycle T. Alternatively, it can be understood that the signal waveforms of the first clock signal CK1 and the third clock signal CK3 are the same in the entire working scanning phase, but the transition time node of the effective level of the third clock signal CK3 is later than the preset duration t' of the transition time node of the effective level of the first clock signal CK1.
[0156] Here, the first clock signal line CKL1 , the second clock signal line CKL2 , the third clock signal line CKL3 , and the fourth clock signal line CKL4 are all different.
[0157] In the shift register provided in this embodiment, different clock signal lines, namely, the first clock signal line CKL1 and the second clock signal line CKL2, are used for transmission of the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 with the same timing; the third clock signal CK3 and the fourth clock signal CK4 with the same timing are transmitted using the third clock signal line CKL3 and the fourth clock signal line CKL4. In this way, the number of transistors connected to a single clock signal line can be reduced, thereby reducing the load on each clock signal line, shortening the signal output time, and improving the uniformity of image quality of large-screen displays.
[0158] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 include a first level; the potential of the first level of the first clock signal CK1 is different from the potential of the first level of the second clock signal CK2.
[0159] Exemplarily, the clock cycles T of the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 are of the same length.
[0160] Exemplarily, the first level is a low level (i.e., a valid level) in the clock cycle T, and the potential of the low level of the first clock signal CK1 is different from the potential of the low level of the second clock signal CK2. For example, the potential of the low level of the first clock signal CK1 may be greater than the potential of the low level of the second clock signal CK2, or may be less than the potential of the low level of the second clock signal CK2.
[0161] Exemplarily, the absolute value of the amplitude of the first clock signal CK1 is greater than the absolute value of the amplitude of the second clock signal CK2.
[0162] Continue as Figure 4 As shown, the third clock signal CK3 and the fourth clock signal CK4 include a third level; the potential of the third level of the third clock signal CK3 is different from the potential of the third level of the fourth clock signal CK4.
[0163] Exemplarily, the clock cycles T of the third clock signal CK3 and the fourth clock signal CK4 are of the same length.
[0164] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the clock cycles T of the first clock signal CK1, the second clock signal CK2, the third clock signal CK3 and the fourth clock signal CK4 are all the same in length.
[0165] Exemplarily, the third level is a low level (i.e., a valid level) in the clock cycle T, and the potential of the low level of the third clock signal CK3 is different from the potential of the low level of the fourth clock signal CK4. For example, the potential of the low level of the third clock signal CK3 may be greater than the potential of the low level of the fourth clock signal CK4, or may be less than the potential of the low level of the fourth clock signal CK4.
[0166] Exemplarily, the absolute value of the amplitude of the third clock signal CK3 is greater than the absolute value of the amplitude of the fourth clock signal CK4.
[0167] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the first level of the first clock signal CK1 is lower than the first level of the second clock signal CK2, so as to avoid hysteresis problems in at least some transistors in the input sub-circuit 1 and affect transistor characteristics.
[0168] Continue as Figure 4 As shown, the potential of the third level of the third clock signal CK3 is lower than the potential of the third level of the fourth clock signal CK4, thereby reducing the impact of threshold loss of at least some transistors in the first control subcircuit 2 and the second control subcircuit 3.
[0169] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 further include a second level, which is different from the first level; the potential of the second level of the first clock signal CK1 is different from the potential of the second level of the second clock signal CK2.
[0170] Exemplarily, the second level is a high level (i.e., an invalid level) in the clock cycle T, and the potential of the high level of the first clock signal CK1 is different from the potential of the high level of the second clock signal CK2. For example, the potential of the high level of the first clock signal CK1 may be greater than the potential of the high level of the second clock signal CK2, or may be less than the potential of the high level of the second clock signal CK2.
[0171] Continue as Figure 4 As shown, the third clock signal CK3 and the fourth clock signal CK4 further include a fourth level, which is different from the third level; the potential of the fourth level of the third clock signal CK3 is different from the potential of the fourth level of the fourth clock signal CK4.
[0172] Exemplarily, the fourth level is a high level (i.e., an invalid level) in the clock cycle T, and the potential of the high level of the third clock signal CK3 is different from the potential of the high level of the fourth clock signal CK4. For example, the potential of the high level of the third clock signal CK3 may be greater than the potential of the high level of the fourth clock signal CK4, or may be less than the potential of the high level of the fourth clock signal CK4.
[0173] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the potential of the second level of the first clock signal CK1 is greater than the potential of the second level of the second clock signal CK2; and / or, the potential of the fourth level of the third clock signal CK3 is greater than the potential of the fourth level of the fourth clock signal CK4, thereby reducing the impact of threshold loss of some transistors in the shift register.
[0174] In some embodiments, the first power signal line VGL1, the second power signal line VGL2, the third power signal line VGH1 and the fourth power signal line VGH2 are all different. The first power signal and the second power signal are both low-level signals, but the potential of the first power signal is different from the potential of the second power signal. The third power signal and the fourth power signal are both high-level signals, but the potential of the third power signal is different from the potential of the fourth power signal. The potential of the low-level signal is less than the potential of the high-level signal.
[0175] Exemplarily, considering the influence of threshold loss of some transistors in the shift register, the potential of the first power signal is set to be smaller than the potential of the second power signal.
[0176] Exemplarily, the potential of the third power signal is lower than the potential of the fourth power signal, thereby improving the turn-off characteristics of at least some transistors in the output sub-circuit 4 .
[0177] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the potential of the first level of the first clock signal CK1 is equal to the potential of the first power signal transmitted by the first power signal line VGL1, and the potential of the second level of the first clock signal CK1 is equal to the potential of the fourth power signal transmitted by the fourth power signal line VGH2; the potential of the first level of the second clock signal CK2 is equal to the potential of the second power signal transmitted by the second power signal line VGL2, and the potential of the second level of the second clock signal CK2 is equal to the potential of the third power signal transmitted by the third power signal line VGH1; the potential of the third level of the third clock signal CK3 is equal to the potential of the first power signal transmitted by the first power signal line VGL1, and the potential of the fourth level of the third clock signal CK3 is equal to the potential of the fourth power signal transmitted by the fourth power signal line VGH2; the potential of the third level of the fourth clock signal CK4 is equal to the potential of the second power signal transmitted by the second power signal line VGL2, and the potential of the fourth level of the fourth clock signal CK4 is equal to the potential of the third power signal transmitted by the third power signal line VGH1.
[0178] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the pulse width of the first level of the first clock signal CK1 is smaller than the pulse width of the second level; and / or the pulse width of the third level of the third clock signal CK3 is smaller than the pulse width of the fourth level.
[0179] Exemplarily, the first level is a low level in a clock cycle T, and the second level is a high level in a clock cycle T; the pulse width of the low level of the first clock signal CK1 is smaller than the pulse width of the high level. The clock cycle T of the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 are the same in duration. Therefore, the pulse width of the low level of the second clock signal CK2 is smaller than the pulse width of the high level.
[0180] Exemplarily, the third level is a low level in the clock cycle T, and the fourth level is a high level in the clock cycle T; the pulse width of the low level of the third clock signal CK3 is smaller than the pulse width of the high level. The clock cycle T of the third clock signal CK3 and the fourth clock signal CK4 are the same in duration. Therefore, the pulse width of the low level of the fourth clock signal CK4 is smaller than the pulse width of the high level.
[0181] In this embodiment, after the pulse width is widened, the first node N1 (or the fifth node N5) can be quickly pulled down, thereby ensuring that the output signal is output quickly to ensure the display quality.

[0184] like Figure 5a As shown, the isolation subcircuit 5 is electrically connected to the first node N1, the second node N2, the fourth node N4, the fifth node N5, the first power signal line VGL1 and the second power signal line VGL2. The isolation subcircuit 5 is configured to connect the first node N1 and the fifth node N5 in response to the second power signal; at the same time, connect the second node N2 and the fourth node N4 in response to the first power signal.
[0185] Or, if Figure 5bAs shown, the isolation subcircuit 5 electrically connects the first node N1, the second node N2, the fourth node N4, the fifth node N5 and the first power signal line VGL1. The isolation subcircuit 5 is configured to connect the first node N1 and the fifth node N5, and the second node N2 and the fourth node N4 in response to the first power signal.
[0186] In this embodiment, an isolation sub-circuit 5 is added to improve the stability of the output signal.
[0187] The above-mentioned shift register can adopt a circuit structure of 12T3C (i.e., 12 transistors and 3 capacitors); or, the shift register can also adopt a circuit structure of 13T3C (i.e., 13 transistors and 3 capacitors); or, the shift register can also adopt a circuit structure of 16T3C (i.e., 16 transistors and 3 capacitors).
[0188] It should be noted that the transistors in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other switching devices with the same characteristics. The thin film transistors may include oxide semiconductor thin film transistors, amorphous silicon thin film transistors or polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors, etc. The source and drain of the transistor may be symmetrical in structure, so the source and drain may be indistinguishable in physical structure. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to distinguish transistors, except for the gate as the control electrode, one of the electrodes is directly described as the first electrode and the other electrode is directly described as the second electrode, so the first electrode and the second electrode of all or part of the transistors in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be interchangeable as needed.
[0189] It should be noted that the thin film transistor can be an N-type thin film transistor or a P-type thin film transistor; wherein, the N-type thin film transistor refers to a thin film transistor in which an N-type ion is doped in an active layer; the P-type thin film transistor refers to a thin film transistor in which a P-type ion is doped in an active layer. The working level signal of the N-type thin film transistor is a high level signal; the working level signal of the P-type thin film transistor is a low level signal.
[0190] For ease of understanding, the present disclosure is described in the following embodiments by taking a P-type thin film transistor as an example, but the present disclosure is not limited to a P-type thin film transistor.
[0191] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the circuit structure inside the shift register may be a structure with other numbers of transistors in addition to the 12T3C, 13T3C and 16T3C listed above, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this.
[0192] The shift registers of the circuit structures of 12T3C, 13T3C and 16T3C are described in detail below using different embodiments.
[0193] In some embodiments, a 12T3C circuit structure is used as an example for description. Figure 2 or Figure 3 Timing control of the clock signal lines shown. Figure 6 A circuit diagram of a 12T3C circuit structure provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 6 As shown, the input subcircuit 1 includes a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2 and a third transistor T3. The first control subcircuit 2 includes a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5 and a third capacitor C3. The second control subcircuit 3 includes a sixth transistor T6, a seventh transistor T7, an eighth transistor T8 and a first capacitor C1. The output subcircuit 4 includes a ninth transistor T9, a tenth transistor T10 and a second capacitor C2. The isolation subcircuit 5 includes an eleventh transistor T11 and a twelfth transistor T12.
[0194] Continue as Figure 6 As shown, for the input subcircuit 1, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the signal input terminal Input, the second electrode is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the first clock signal line CKL1; the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second clock signal line CKL2, the second electrode is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the first node N1; the first electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the first power signal line VGL1, the second electrode is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the second clock signal line CKL2. Specifically, the first clock signal CK1 can control the on-off of the first transistor T1, and when the first transistor T1 responds to the first clock signal CK1 and turns on, the input signal can be transmitted to the first node N1. The signal of the first node N1 can control the on-off of the second transistor T2, and when the second transistor T2 responds to the signal of the first node N1 and turns on, the second clock signal CK2 can be transmitted to the second node N2. The second clock signal CK2 controls the on-off of the third transistor T3, and when the third transistor T3 responds to the second clock signal CK2 and turns on, the first power signal can be transmitted to the second node N2.
[0195] Optionally, for the input sub-circuit 1 , the first electrode of the second transistor T2 may be electrically connected to the first clock signal line CKL1 .
[0196] Continue as Figure 6As shown, for the first control subcircuit 2, the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the third clock signal line CKL3, the second electrode is electrically connected to the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the fifth node N5; the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third power signal line VGH1, the second electrode is electrically connected to the first plate of the third capacitor C3, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the second node N2; the second plate of the third capacitor C3 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5. Specifically, the signal of the fifth node N5 can control the on-off of the fourth transistor T4, and when the fourth transistor T4 responds to the signal of the fifth node N5 and turns on, the third clock signal CK3 can be transmitted to the sixth node N6. The signal of the second node N2 can control the on-off of the fifth transistor T5, and when the fifth transistor T5 responds to the signal of the second node N2 and turns on, the third power signal can be transmitted to the sixth node N6.
[0197] The second electrode of the fourth transistor T4, the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5, and the first electrode plate of the third capacitor C3 are all electrically connected to the sixth node N6.
[0198] Continue as Figure 6 As shown, for the second control subcircuit 3, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the fourth clock signal line CKL4, the second electrode is electrically connected to the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the fourth node N4 and the first electrode plate of the first capacitor C1; the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second electrode plate of the first capacitor C1, the second electrode is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the fourth clock signal line CKL4; the first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the fourth power signal line VGH2, the second electrode is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the first node N1. Specifically, the signal of the fourth node N4 can control the on-off of the sixth transistor T6. When the sixth transistor T6 responds to the signal of the fourth node N4 and turns on, the fourth clock signal CK4 can be transmitted to the seventh node N7. The fourth clock signal CK4 can control the on-off of the seventh transistor T7. When the seventh transistor T7 responds to the fourth clock signal CK4 and turns on, the signal of the seventh node N7 can be transmitted to the third node N3. The signal of the first node N1 may control the eighth transistor T8 to be turned on. When the eighth transistor T8 responds to the signal of the first node N1 and is turned on, the fourth power signal may be transmitted to the third node N3.
[0199] The second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 , the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 , and the second electrode plate of the first capacitor C1 are all electrically connected to the seventh node N7 .
[0200] Continue as Figure 6As shown, for the output sub-circuit 4, the first electrode of the ninth transistor T9 is electrically connected to the third power signal line VGH1 and the first electrode plate of the second capacitor C2, the second electrode is electrically connected to the signal output terminal OUT, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the third node N3; the first electrode of the tenth transistor T10 is electrically connected to the second power signal line VGL2, the second electrode is electrically connected to the signal output terminal OUT, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the fifth node N5; the second electrode plate of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the third node N3. Specifically, the signal of the third node N3 controls the on-off of the ninth transistor T9. When the ninth transistor T9 responds to the signal of the third node N3 and turns on, the third power signal is transmitted to the signal output terminal OUT, thereby outputting the second output signal. The signal of the fifth node N5 controls the on-off of the tenth transistor T10. When the tenth transistor T10 responds to the signal of the fifth node N5 and turns on, the second power signal is output to the signal output terminal OUT, thereby outputting the first output signal.
[0201] Exemplarily, the potential of the third power signal is lower than the potential of the fourth power signal, which can improve the turn-off characteristic of the ninth transistor T9. For example, the potential of the third power signal is 7.5V, and the potential of the fourth power signal is 8V.
[0202] Exemplarily, the potential of the first power signal is less than that of the second power signal, which can reduce the threshold loss of the tenth transistor T10 and ensure output. For example, the potential of the first power signal is -8V, and the potential of the fourth power signal is -7.5V.
[0203] Continue as Figure 6 As shown, for the isolation sub-circuit 5, the first electrode of the eleventh transistor T11 is electrically connected to the second node N2, the second electrode is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the first power signal line VGL1; the first electrode of the twelfth transistor T12 is electrically connected to the first node N1, the second electrode is electrically connected to the fifth node N5, and the control electrode is electrically connected to the first power signal line VGL1 (or the second power signal line VGL2). Specifically, the first power signal controls the on and off of the eleventh transistor T11 and the twelfth transistor T12. When the eleventh transistor T11 responds to the first power signal and turns on, the signal of the second node N2 can be transmitted to the fourth node N4. When the twelfth transistor T12 responds to the first power signal and turns on, the signal of the first node N1 can be transmitted to the fifth node N5.
[0204] In this embodiment, four clock signal lines with different timings and four power signal lines with different potentials are used to reduce the number of transistors connected to a single clock signal line and a single power signal line, thereby reducing the load on each clock signal line and each power signal line, so as to shorten the signal output time and improve the uniformity of the large-screen display quality. At the same time, the timing of each clock signal line is different, avoiding the impact of changing the timing on the display effect. In addition, the use of different power signal lines can avoid signal fluctuations caused by excessive load on a single power signal line, which is conducive to improving the stability of signal output.
[0205] In some embodiments, another 12T3C circuit structure is used as an example for description. Figure 4 Timing control of the clock signal lines shown.
