[0040] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure have the same general meaning as they would be understood by those skilled in the art in the field to which this disclosure relates. The terms “a first”, “a second”, and similar terms in this disclosure do not denote any order, quantity, or importance. They serve only to distinguish between different components. Terms such as “comprise” or “include” mean that the element or object preceding the term includes the elements or objects listed after the term and their equivalents, without excluding any other elements or objects. Terms such as “coupled” or “connected” are not limited to physical or mechanical coupling and may also include electrical coupling, whether direct or indirect.

[0041] It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of the graphics in the drawings are not to scale and serve only to illustrate the present disclosure. Identical or similar reference numerals consistently denote identical or similar elements or elements with identical or similar functions.

[0042] One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shift register unit as described in Fig. 1 shown, which includes the following: a shift register 100 configured to output a cascade signal via a cascade output terminal OT; an output circuit 200 coupled to the shift register 100 and configured to control a drive output terminal OUT based on a signal at an output control signal terminal CS and a signal at a first reference signal terminal VREF1 to output a gate sampling signal.

[0043] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shift register unit that controls the gate sampling signal at the drive output terminal in the output circuit by causing the shift register to output the cascade signal and controlling the signal at the output control signal terminal. When the shift register unit is used on a display panel, the signal at the output control signal terminal can be controlled to sample any desired area of ​​the display panel. This allows the refresh rate of different areas to be flexibly adjusted, saving power and reducing losses.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the output circuit 200 comprises a first output circuit 210 and a second output circuit 220. The first output circuit 210 is coupled to a first node N1 in the shift register 100 and configured to transmit a signal from the output control signal terminal CS to the control output terminal OUT in response to a signal at the first node N1. The second output circuit 220 is coupled to a second node N2 in the shift register 100 and configured to transmit a signal from the first reference signal terminal VREF1 to the control output terminal OUT in response to a signal at the second node N2.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the first output circuit 210 comprises a first output transistor T1.

If the gate of the first output transistor is coupled to the cascade output terminal in the shift register, the voltage of the low-level signal that the cascade output terminal can output can only be VGL, which means that the voltage of the low-level signal that the drive output terminal OUT can output can only be VGL-Vth.

[0088] The following describes the operation of the shift register unit in one embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure of the shift register unit is described in Fig. 2 as an example and in combination with the one in Fig. The signal timing diagram shown in section 6 is used.

[0089] As in Fig. Figure 2 illustrates an example where all transistors are P-type transistors, the effective pulse signal of the first reference signal, output from the first reference signal terminal VREF1, is a low-level signal, the effective pulse signal of the second reference signal, output from the second reference signal terminal VREF2, is a low-level signal, the effective pulse signal of the third reference signal, output from the third reference signal terminal VREF3, is a high-level signal, the effective pulse signal of the fourth reference signal, output from the fourth reference signal terminal VREF4, is a high-level signal, the effective pulse signal of the fifth reference signal, output from the fifth reference signal terminal VREF5, is a high-level signal, and the fixed voltage signal with the first level V1 of the first output control signal cs1 is a high-level signal.

[0090] Since the gates of the third transistor M3 and the seventh transistor M7 are both coupled to the second reference voltage terminal VREF2, from which a low-level signal is input, and the gates of the fourteenth transistor M14 and the fifteenth transistor M15 are both coupled to the first reference voltage terminal VREF1, from which a low-level signal is input, the third transistor M3, the seventh transistor M7, the fourteenth transistor M14, and the fifteenth transistor M15 are normally switched on. Since the gate of the thirteenth transistor M13 is coupled to the fifth reference voltage terminal VREF5, from which a high-level signal is input, the thirteenth transistor M13 is normally switched off.For the sake of simplicity, the states of the third transistor M3, the seventh transistor M7, the thirteenth transistor M13, the fourteenth transistor M14 and the fifteenth transistor M15 at any given time will not be analyzed in detail below.

[0091] In the first phase H1, the input signal is high, the first clock signal ck1 is low, and the second clock signal ck2 is high. Then, the first transistor M1 is turned on by the low level of the first clock signal ck1 and outputs the high level of the input signal to the third node N3. The second transistor M2 is turned off by the high level of the third node N3. The twelfth transistor M12 is turned off by the high level of the third node N3. The fifteenth transistor M15 outputs the high level of the third node N3 to the second node N2, and then the second cascade transistor T4 and the second output transistor T2 are turned off. The ninth transistor M9 is turned on by the low level of the first clock signal ck1 and outputs the low level of the second reference signal terminal VREF2 to the fourth node N4.The tenth transistor, M10, is switched on by the low level of the fourth node, N4, and supplies the high level of the third reference signal terminal, VREF3, to the sixth node, N6. The third transistor, M3, supplies the low level of the fourth node, N4, to the gate of the fourth transistor, M4, which then switches on. The fourth transistor, M4, supplies the high level of the second clock signal, ck2, to the first electrode of the fifth transistor, M5. The fifth transistor, M5, is switched off by the high level of the second clock signal, ck2. Then, the first cascade transistor, T3, and the first output transistor, T1, are switched off. The sixth transistor, M6, is switched on by the low level of the first clock signal, ck1. The sixth transistor, M6, and the seventh transistor, M7, supply the high level of the input signal, in, to the fifth node, N5, which in turn switches off the eighth transistor, M8, and the eleventh transistor, M11, by the high level of the fifth node, N5.The cascade signal output from the cascade signal terminal OT remains at a low level, and the gate sampling signal output from the control output terminal OUT remains at a low level.

[0092] In a second phase, H2, the input signal is set to a low level, the first clock signal, ck1, is set to a high level, and the second clock signal, ck2, is set to a low level. Then, the first transistor, M1, is switched off by the high level of the first clock signal, ck1. The third node, N3, remains at a high level, and the second transistor, M2, is switched off by the high level of the third node, N3. The twelfth transistor, M12, is switched off by the high level of the third node, N3. The fifteenth transistor, M15, supplies the high level of the third node, N3, to the second node, N2, thereby switching off the second cascade transistor, T4, and the second output transistor, T2. The ninth transistor, M9, is switched off by the high level of the first clock signal, ck1, thus keeping the fourth node, N4, at a low level.The tenth transistor, M10, is switched on by the low level of the fourth node, N4, and supplies the high level of the third reference signal terminal, VREF3, to the sixth node, N6. The third transistor, M3, supplies the low level of the fourth node, N4, to the gate of the fourth transistor, M4, which then switches on. The fourth transistor, M4, supplies the low level of the second clock signal, ck2, to the first electrode of the fifth transistor, M5. This transistor is switched on by the low level of the second clock signal, ck2, and supplies the low level of its first electrode to the first node, N1. This, in turn, switches on the first cascade transistor, T3, and the first output transistor, T1, via the low level of the first node, N1. The first cascade transistor, T3, supplies the high level of the fourth reference signal terminal, VREF4, to the cascade signal terminal, OT.The first output transistor T1 supplies the high level of the first output control signal cs1 from output control signal terminal CS to the drive output terminal OUT. The sixth transistor M6 is switched off by the high level of the first clock signal ck1, and the fifth node N5 remains high. This causes the eighth transistor M8 and the eleventh transistor M11 to be switched off by the high level of the fifth node N5. The cascade signal output from cascade signal terminal OT remains low, and the gate sample signal output from drive output terminal OUT remains low. The cascade signal output from cascade signal terminal OT is high, and the gate sample signal output from drive output terminal OUT is high.

[0093] In a third phase, H3, the input signal is low, the first clock signal ck1 is low, and the second clock signal ck2 is high. This turns on the first transistor M1 via the low level of the first clock signal ck1, which then outputs the low level of the input signal to the third node N3. The second transistor M2 is turned on via the low level of the third node N3 and outputs the low level of the first clock signal ck1 to the fourth node N4. The twelfth transistor, M12, is turned on via the low level of the third node N3 and outputs the high level of the fourth reference signal terminal VREF4 to the first node N1. The first cascade transistor T3 and the first output transistor T1 are then turned off.The fifteenth transistor, M15, passes the low level of the third node, N3, to the second node, N2, which in turn turns on the second cascade transistor, T4, and the second output transistor, T2. The second cascade transistor, T4, passes the low level of the first reference signal terminal, VREF1, to the cascade signal terminal, OT, and the second output transistor, T2, passes the low level of the first reference signal terminal, VREF1, to the drive output terminal, OUT. The ninth transistor, M9, is turned on by the low level of the first clock signal, ck1, and passes the low level of the second reference signal terminal, VREF2, to the fourth node, N4. The tenth transistor, M10, is turned on by the low level of the fourth node, N4, and passes the high level of the third reference signal terminal, VREF3, to the sixth node, N6.The third transistor, M3, passes the low level from the fourth node, N4, to the gate of the fourth transistor, M4, which is then switched on. The fourth transistor, M4, supplies the high level of the second clock signal, ck2, to the first electrode of the fifth transistor, M5. The fifth transistor, M5, is switched off by the high level of the second clock signal, ck2. This causes the first cascade transistor, T3, and the first output transistor, T1, to switch off by the high level from the first node, N1. The sixth transistor, M6, is switched on by the low level of the first clock signal, ck1. The sixth transistor, M6, and the seventh transistor, M7, supply the low level of the input signal, in, to the fifth node, N5. This causes the eighth transistor, M8, and the eleventh transistor, M11, to switch on by the low level from the fifth node, N5.The eighth transistor, M8, supplies the low level of the fifth node, N5, to the second node, N2, and the eleventh transistor, M11, supplies the high level of the second clock signal, ck2, to the sixth node, N6. The cascade signal output from the cascade signal terminal OT remains at a low level, and the gate sample signal output from the drive output terminal OUT remains at a low level. The cascade signal output from the cascade signal terminal OT is at a low level, and the gate sample signal output from the drive output terminal OUT is at a low level.

[0094] In the following periods, the shift register units repeat the above-mentioned operating process from phases H1 to H3.

[0101] Since the gates of the third transistor M3 and the seventh transistor M7 are both coupled to the second reference voltage terminal VREF2, from which a low-level signal is input, and the gates of the fourteenth transistor M14 and the fifteenth transistor M15 are both coupled to the first reference voltage terminal VREF1, from which a low-level signal is input, the third transistor M3, the seventh transistor M7, the fourteenth transistor M14, and the fifteenth transistor M15 are normally switched on. Since the gate of the thirteenth transistor M13 is coupled to the fifth reference voltage terminal VREF5, from which a high-level signal is input, the thirteenth transistor M13 is normally switched off.For the sake of simplicity, the states of the third transistor M3, the seventh transistor M7, the thirteenth transistor M13, the fourteenth transistor M14 and the fifteenth transistor M15 at any given time will not be analyzed in detail below.

[0102] In the first phase H1, the input signal is high, the first clock signal ck1 is low, and the second clock signal ck2 is high.
