[0048] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a shift register unit, as in Fig. 1 shown, which includes the following: a shift register 100 configured to output a cascade signal via a cascaded output terminal OT; an output circuit 200 which is coupled to the shift register 100 and is configured to control a driver output terminal OUT to output a gate sampling signal according to a signal from an output control signal terminal CS and a signal from a first reference signal terminal VREF1.
[0049] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a shift register unit that outputs a cascade signal through a shift register and controls a gate sampling signal of a driver output terminal in an output circuit by controlling a signal from an output control signal terminal. When the shift register unit is applied to a display panel, the sampling of any area of the display panel can be controlled by controlling the signal from the output control signal terminal, thereby enabling flexible adjustments of the refresh rates of different areas, reducing power consumption, and minimizing losses.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as in Fig. Figure 2 shows that the output circuit 200 comprises: a first output circuit 210 and a second output circuit 220, wherein the first output circuit 210 is coupled to a first node N1 in the shift register 100 and is configured to transmit the signal of the output control signal terminal CS to the driver output terminal OUT in response to a signal from the first node N1; the second output circuit 220 is coupled to a second node N2 in the shift register 100 and is configured to transmit the signal of the first reference signal terminal VREF1 to the driver output terminal OUT in response to a signal from the second node N2.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first output circuit comprises 210, as in Fig. Figure 2 shows a first output transistor T1, wherein a gate electrode of the first output transistor T1 is coupled to the first node N1, a first electrode of the first output transistor T1 is coupled to the output control signal terminal CS, and a second electrode of the first output transistor T1 is coupled to the driver output terminal OUT.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as in Fig. Figure 2 shows the second output circuit 220 comprising: a second output transistor T2, wherein a gate electrode of the second output transistor T2 is coupled to the second node N2, a first electrode of the second output transistor T2 is coupled to the first reference signal terminal VREF1, and a second electrode of the second output transistor T2 is coupled to the driver output terminal OUT.
[0053] Alternatively, the first output circuit can be coupled to the cascaded output terminal in the shift register, and the first output circuit is configured to transmit the signal from the output control signal terminal to the driver output terminal in response to the signal from the cascaded output terminal. Based on this, the gate electrode of the first output transistor is coupled to the cascaded output terminal in the shift register.
[0054] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical effect is better compared to a mode in which the gate electrode of the first output transistor is coupled to the cascaded output terminal in the shift register, and corresponds to the mode in which the gate electrode of the first output transistor is coupled to the first node. Fig. 2. The gate electrode of the first output transistor T1 is coupled to the first node N1, and the voltage of a low-level signal that the driver output terminal OUT can output is VGL. When the gate electrode of the first output transistor is coupled to the cascaded output terminal in the shift register, the voltage of a low-level signal that the cascaded output terminal can output is only VGL, so the voltage of the low-level signal that the driver output terminal OUT can output is only VGL-Vth.

Under control of the potential of the third node N3, the twelfth transistor M12 is switched on, the first node N1 is connected to the fourth reference signal terminal VREF4, and the first node N1 is held at a high level.Under the control of a potential at the first node N1, the first cascaded transistor T3 and the first output transistor T1 are switched off, the fourth reference signal terminal VREF4 is not connected to the cascaded output terminal OT, and the output signal control terminal CS is not connected to the driver output terminal OUT. Under the control of the potential at the third node N3, the second cascaded transistor T4 and the second output transistor T2 are switched on, the first reference signal terminal VREF1 is connected to the cascaded output terminal OT, and the first reference signal terminal VREF1 is connected to the driver output terminal OUT. The cascaded output terminal OT outputs a low-level signal, and the driver output terminal OUT also outputs a low-level signal.In a subsequent stage, the third node N3 is held at a level, the cascaded output terminal OT is held so that it outputs a low-level signal, and the driver output terminal OUT is held so that it outputs a low-level signal.
[0195] The high-level signal output from the cascaded output terminal OT is passed as the input signal "in" of the next cascaded GOA unit to an input signal terminal IN of the next cascaded GOA unit. Therefore, the next GOA unit proceeds through stages H2-H5. A valid gate sample signal output from a driver output terminal OUT and a valid cascade signal output from a cascaded output OT of the next GOA unit are shifted backward by 2H in the cascaded output e compared to a valid gate sample signal output from a driver output terminal OUT and a valid cascade signal output from a cascaded output OT of a previous GOA unit. The high-level signal output from the driver output terminal OUT is a valid gate sample signal.After a first shift register unit group has output a valid gate sample signal, and an eighth shift register unit SR8 has output a complete valid gate sample signal of 18H, the second output control signal cs-1' switches from a high level V1 to a low level V2, and then the odd-numbered shift register unit groups output an invalid gate sample signal. After a second shift register unit group has output a valid gate sample signal, and a sixteenth shift register unit SR16 has output a complete valid gate sample signal of 18H, the second output control signal cs-2' switches from a high level V1 to a low level V2, and then the even-numbered shift register unit groups output an invalid gate sample signal. So far, each shift register unit outputs either a complete gate sample signal of 18H or a complete invalid sample signal of 18H.The situation where a valid gate sample signal is output below 18H does not occur, thus ensuring the display quality of the scoreboard. Meanwhile, the output of a gate sample signal for one of the odd-numbered groups can be set using the second output control signal cs-1', and the output of a gate sample signal for one of the even-numbered groups can be set using the second output control signal cs-2'. By combining these two groups, a setting can be made for each area of the scoreboard, thus enabling partial updates.
[0196] For example, in a display panel with 1024 pixel lines, there are a total of 512 shift register units, with each shift register unit controlling two pixel lines. Eight adjacent shift register units form a group, and there are a total of 64 groups. The output control signal terminals CS of the shift register units in the odd-numbered groups are coupled to a first output control signal line CS-1, and the output control signal terminals CS of the shift register units in the even-numbered groups are coupled to a second output control signal line CS-2.When the first output control signal line CS-1 and the second output control signal line CS-2 are controlled to output a second output control signal, the shift register units in the first through thirty-third groups are activated in each of the 120 frames to output a valid gate sample signal, and the shift register units in the thirty-third through sixty-fourth groups are activated in every second frame of the 120 frames to output a valid gate sample signal. A range controlled by the first 512 pixel rows in the display panel can be 120 Hz, and a range controlled by the last 512 pixel rows in the display panel can be 60 Hz, thus implementing partition updates.Naturally, the first output control signal line CS-1 and the second output control signal line CS-2 can be controlled to output a second output control signal, so that each group in each frame outputs a valid gate sample signal or an invalid gate sample signal t to implement a partition update of the display panel.
[0197] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by controlling a signal of an output control signal terminal, a gate sampling signal of a driver output terminal in an output circuit is controlled such that the sampling of any area of a display board is controlled and the non-sampling of any area of the display board is controlled, thereby reducing power consumption and losses.
