[0116] As shown in Figure 1, a schematic diagram of the structure of an exemplary embodiment of a shift register unit of the present disclosure is provided. The shift register unit includes: multiple output circuits 1 and multiple isolation circuits 3. The output circuits 1 include a first node N1 and one or more signal output terminals G. The output circuits 1 are configured to input a shift signal to the signal output terminals G in response to a signal at the first node N1. The isolation circuits 3 are provided corresponding to the output circuits 1. The isolation circuits 3 connect the pull-up node Q and the corresponding first node N1 of the output circuits 1. The isolation circuits 3 are configured to reduce leakage current from the first node N1 to the pull-up node Q.
[0117] The shift register unit provided in this exemplary embodiment can provide gate drive signals to multiple rows of pixel drive circuits through multiple signal output terminals G of multiple output circuits, thereby facilitating a narrow-frame design for the display panel, and can also reduce the instability of the pull-up node Q voltage caused by too many signal output terminals G.
[0118] It should be noted that the shift register unit shown in Figure 1 only exemplarily shows two output circuits 1 and two isolation circuits 3, and each output circuit 1 includes four signal output terminals. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the shift register unit may also include other numbers of output circuits 1 and isolation circuits 3, and the output circuit 1 may include other numbers of signal output terminals, and the number of signal output terminals in different output circuits may be the same or different.
[0119] In this exemplary embodiment, the output circuit 1 may include multiple signal output terminals G. The output circuit 1 is configured to sequentially input shift signals to the multiple signal output terminals G in response to a signal at the first node N1, and the shift signals at all the signal output terminals G in the multiple output circuits 1 are not output simultaneously. For example, the shift signals at all the signal output terminals G in the multiple output circuits 1 are output sequentially, so that the multiple signal output terminals G of the shift register can respectively provide gate drive signals to pixel drive circuits in different rows. It should be noted that the sequentially output shift signals may partially overlap or may not overlap at all.
[0120] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of a shift register unit according to the present disclosure. The shift register unit includes two output circuits: output circuits 11 and 12, and two isolation circuits: isolation circuits 31 and 32. Output circuit 11 and isolation circuit 31 are provided in correspondence with each other, and output circuit 12 and isolation circuit 32 are provided in correspondence with each other. Output circuit 11 includes four signal output terminals: G1, G2, G3, and G4, and output circuit 12 includes four signal output terminals: G5, G6, G7, and G8.
[0121] In this exemplary embodiment, the output circuit further includes: one or more first capacitors, each of which is provided in correspondence with the signal output terminal and is connected between the corresponding signal output terminal and the first node. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the output circuit 11 further includes four first capacitors: C11, C12, C13, and C14, and the output circuit 12 further includes four first capacitors: C15, C16, C17, and C18. The first capacitor C11 is provided in correspondence with the signal output terminal G1 and is connected between the signal output terminal G1 and the first node N1. Similarly, the first capacitor C12 is provided in correspondence with the signal output terminal G2, and the first capacitor C18 is provided in correspondence with the signal output terminal G8.
[0122] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the output circuit 1 is further connected to one or more first clock signal terminals CLKE. The first clock signal terminal CLKE is used to provide a shift signal. The first clock signal terminal CLKE is correspondingly provided to the signal output terminal G. The output circuit 1 is configured to respond to a signal at a first node N1 to transmit the signal of the first clock signal terminal CLKE to the signal output terminal G corresponding to the first clock signal terminal CLKE. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the output circuit 11 is connected to the first clock signal terminals CLKE1, CLKE2, CLKE3, and CLKE4, and the output circuit 12 is connected to the first clock signal terminals CLKE5, CLKE6, CLKE7, and CLKE8. The first clock signal terminal CLKE1 is correspondingly provided to the signal output terminal G1. The output circuit 11 is configured to respond to a signal at the first node N1 to transmit the signal of the first clock signal terminal CLKE1 to the signal output terminal G1. Similarly, the first clock signal terminal CLKE2 is correspondingly provided to the signal output terminal G2, and the first clock signal terminal CLKE8 is correspondingly provided to the signal output terminal G8. In this exemplary embodiment, all first clock signal terminals CLKE in the plurality of output circuits 1 are respectively used to output different clock signals.
[0123] In this exemplary embodiment, the output circuit 1 includes one or more first transistors, each of which is configured to correspond to a signal output terminal. The first electrode of the first transistor is connected to the corresponding signal output terminal, the second electrode is connected to the corresponding first clock signal terminal, and the gate is connected to the first node N1. The first transistors corresponding to the same signal output terminal are configured to correspond to the first clock signal terminal. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the output circuit 11 includes four first transistors T101, T102, T103, and T104, and the output circuit 12 includes four first transistors T105, T106, T107, and T108. The first transistor T101 is configured to correspond to the signal output terminal G1. The first electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the signal output terminal G1, and the second electrode is connected to the first clock signal terminal CLKE1. Similarly, the first transistor T102 is configured to correspond to the signal output terminal G2, and the first transistor T108 is configured to correspond to the signal output terminal G8. The eight first clock signal terminals can output shift signals to the respective signal output terminals in sequence through the corresponding first transistors.
[0124] In this exemplary embodiment, the effective level of the shift signal can be a high level. When each first clock signal terminal sequentially outputs a high-level pulse signal, the voltage of the first node N1 is pulled high due to the first capacitive coupling. The pulled-up first node N1 facilitates conduction of the output circuit. Furthermore, the isolation circuit 3 can alleviate the problem of leakage caused by the pulled-up first node N1 pulling up the node Q.
[0125] In this exemplary embodiment, the output circuit is further connected to a pull-down node QB and is further configured to respond to a signal at the pull-down node QB to input an inactive level to each signal output terminal. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the output circuit 11 further includes four third transistors T31, T32, T33, and T34, and the output circuit 12 further includes four third transistors T35, T36, T37, and T38. The third transistor T31 is provided corresponding to the signal output terminal G1. The first electrode of the third transistor T31 is connected to the first power supply terminal VGL1, the second electrode is connected to the corresponding signal output terminal G1, and the gate is connected to the pull-down node QB. The first power supply terminal VGL1 is configured to output an inactive level. Similarly, the third transistor T32 is provided corresponding to the signal output terminal G2, and the third transistor T38 is provided corresponding to the signal output terminal G8. The first power supply terminal VGL1 can reset each signal output terminal to an inactive level via each of the third transistors.
[0126] The effective level is a potential that can drive the target circuit to work normally. For example, the effective level for driving an N-type transistor is a high level, and the effective level for driving a P-type transistor is a low level.
[0127] In this exemplary embodiment, the isolation circuit 3 includes a fourth transistor, wherein a first electrode of the fourth transistor is connected to the pull-up node Q, a second electrode is connected to the first node N1, and a gate is connected to the second power supply terminal VDD2. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the isolation circuit 31 includes a fourth transistor T41, and the isolation circuit 32 includes a fourth transistor T42. The fourth transistor may be an N-type transistor, wherein the effective voltage level outputted by the pull-up node Q is V1, the voltage of the second power supply terminal VDD2 is V2, and V2-V1 is less than the threshold voltage of the fourth transistor. That is, when the voltage of the first node N1 is greater than the voltage of the pull-up node Q, the gate-source voltage difference of the fourth transistor is less than its threshold voltage, and the fourth transistor is non-conductive, thereby reducing leakage current from the first node N1 to the pull-up node Q.
[0128] It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the isolation circuit 3 may also have other structures.

[0142] The driving method of the shift register unit may include: an initial stage before display (not shown in the figure), a display stage, and a frame in the display stage includes a scanning stage ts and a blank stage tb.
[0143] In the initial stage, the selection signal terminal OE and the second reset signal terminal Re2 output a high level, the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twentieth transistor T20 are turned on, the second reset circuit 28 transmits a low level signal from the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-up node Q, the first pull-up circuit 22 inputs a high level signal to the pull-down node QB, and the output circuits 11 and 12 transmit a low level signal from the first power supply terminal VGL1 to each signal output terminal in response to the signal from the pull-down node QB.

In the initial stage, the pull-up nodes and the third nodes in all shift register units can be initialized.
[0144] The scanning phase ts includes a first phase t1, a second phase t2, and a third phase t3. In the first phase t1, the third clock signal line LCLKD1 outputs a high-level signal, the cascade output terminal CR of the first-stage shift register unit outputs a high-level signal to the first signal input terminal IN1 and the second signal input terminal IN2 of the second-stage shift register unit, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, the first input circuit 21 transmits the high-level signal of the first signal input terminal IN1 to the pull-up node Q, the fourteenth transistor T14 is turned on, the second input circuit 26 transmits the low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-down node QB, the tenth transistor T10 and the eleventh transistor T11 are turned on, the first pull-down circuit 23 transmits the low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-down node QB, and transmits the low-level signal of the fifth power supply terminal VGL5 to the second node N2. In the second stage t2: the high-level signal of the pull-up node Q is transmitted to the first node N1 in the two output circuits through the two fourth transistors T41 and T42 respectively. Under the action of the first node N1, all the first transistors T101-T108 in the output circuit are turned on, and the first clock signal lines LCLKE9-LCLKE16 output shift signals in sequence. The first clock signal terminals CLKE1-CLKE8 in the second-stage shift register unit output shift signals in sequence, so that the signal output terminals G1-G8 output shift signals in sequence. In the third stage t3: the third clock signal line LCLKD1 outputs a high-level signal again, the cascade output terminal CR of the third-stage shift register unit outputs a high-level signal to the first reset signal terminal Re1 of the second-stage shift register unit, the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighteenth transistor T18 are turned on, the first reset circuit 25 transmits the low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-up node Q, the first pull-up circuit 22 transmits the high-level signal of the third power supply terminal VDD3 to the pull-down node QB, and under the action of the pull-down node QB, the output circuit transmits the low-level signal of the first power supply terminal VGL1 to each signal output terminal G1-G8. At the same time, the twelfth transistor T12 and the thirteenth transistor T13 are turned on, and the second pull-down circuit 24 transmits the low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-up node Q.
[0145] During the blank phase tb, the display panel can sense the threshold and / or mobility of the driving transistors in the pixel driving circuits of some rows. The gate driving circuit can select the pixel driving circuit to be sensed through the selection signal terminal OE. For example, when the gate driving circuit needs to select the pixel driving circuit driven by the second-stage shift register unit, the selection signal line can input a high-level signal to the selection signal terminal OE of the second-stage shift register unit during the first phase t1 of the second-stage shift register unit, so as to input a high-level signal to the third node N3 through the first selection circuit 29. During the blank phase, the fourth clock signal terminal CLKA outputs a high-level signal, the twenty-third transistor T23, the twenty-fourth transistor T24, and the twenty-fifth transistor T25 in the second-stage shift register unit are turned on, the fourth clock signal terminal CLKA inputs a high-level signal to the pull-up node Q, the twenty-sixth transistor T26 and the twenty-seventh transistor T27 are turned on, the second gating circuit 210 transmits the low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-down node QB, and the output circuits 11 and 12, under the action of the pull-up node Q, sequentially transmit the shift signals of the first clock signal lines LCLKE9-LCLKE16 to the signal output terminals G1-G8, thereby sensing the driving transistors in the pixel driving circuit. For the unselected shift register units, since the third node N3 is at a low level, the first gating circuit 29 cannot write a high level to the pull-up node Q, and the second gating circuit 210 cannot write a low level to the pull-down node QB. Therefore, the unselected shift register units cannot output shift signals.
[0146] It should be noted that the selection signal line can select the shift register unit at any time during the shift register unit is in the scanning phase. When the first signal input terminal IN1 is not multiplexed as the second signal input terminal IN2, the signal on the second signal input terminal IN2 can be different from the signal on the first signal input terminal IN1. The second signal input terminal IN2 can be connected to the signal output terminal of the adjacent previous-stage shift register unit. The time period during which the selection signal line outputs a valid level needs to at least partially overlap with the time period during which the second signal input terminal IN2 outputs a valid level.
[0147] In other exemplary embodiments, the output circuit 1 may also be connected to a second clock signal terminal and one or more first clock signal terminals, the first clock signal terminal being used to provide a shift signal, the first clock signal terminal and the signal output terminal being provided correspondingly, and the output circuit being used to respond to a signal from the first node N1 and the second clock signal terminal connected thereto to transmit the signal from the first clock signal terminal to the signal output terminal corresponding to the first clock signal terminal; wherein different output circuits are connected to the same group of first clock signal terminals, and the second clock signal terminals connected to different output circuits are used to output valid levels at least in different time periods.

[0148] In this exemplary embodiment, the second clock signal terminal CLKB1 and the second clock signal terminal CLKB2 can each output an active level at different time periods. When the second clock signal terminal CLKB1 outputs an active level, the first clock signal terminals CLKE1-CLKE4 respectively output an active level to the signal output terminals G1-G4; when the second clock signal terminal CLKB2 outputs an active level, the first clock signal terminals CLKE1-CLKE4 respectively output an active level to the signal output terminals G5-G8.

At the same time, the twenty-first transistor T22 and the twenty-second transistor T22 are turned on, and the second signal input terminal IN2 inputs a low level signal to the third node N3.
[0157] The scanning phase ts includes: a first phase t1, a second phase t2, and a third phase t3. The second phase t2 includes a first sub-phase t21 and a second sub-phase t22. In the first phase t1, the third clock signal line LCLKD1 outputs a high-level signal, the cascade output terminal CR of the first-stage shift register unit outputs a high-level signal to the first signal input terminal IN1 and the second signal input terminal IN2 of the second-stage shift register unit, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, the first input circuit 21 transmits the high-level signal of the first signal input terminal IN1 to the pull-up node Q, the fourteenth transistor T14 is turned on, the second input circuit 26 transmits the low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-down node QB, the tenth transistor T10 and the eleventh transistor T11 are turned on, the first pull-down circuit 23 transmits the low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-down node QB, and transmits the low-level signal of the fifth power supply terminal VGL5 to the second node N2. In the first sub-phase t21: the high-level signal of the pull-up node Q is transmitted to the first node N1 in the two output circuits through the two fourth transistors respectively. Under the action of the first node N1, all the first transistors T101-T104 in the output circuit 11 are turned on, the first clock signal lines LCLKE5-LCLKE8 output shift signals in sequence, and the first clock signal terminals CLKE1-CLKE4 in the second-stage shift register unit output shift signals in sequence. At the same time, the second clock signal line LCLKB1 outputs a high level, and the second transistors T201-T204 are turned on, so that the signal output terminals G1-G4 output shift signals in sequence. In the second sub-phase t22: the high-level signal of the pull-up node Q is transmitted to the first node N1 in the two output circuits through the two fourth transistors respectively. Under the action of the first node N1, all the first transistors T105-T108 in the output circuit 12 are turned on, the first clock signal lines LCLKE5-LCLKE8 output shift signals in sequence, the first clock signal terminals CLKE1-CLKE4 in the second-stage shift register unit output shift signals in sequence, and at the same time, the second clock signal line LCLKB2 outputs a high level, the second transistors T205-T208 are turned on, and the signal output terminals G5-G8 output shift signals in sequence.In the third stage t3: the third clock signal line LCLKD1 outputs a high-level signal again, the cascade output terminal CR of the third-stage shift register unit outputs a high-level signal to the first reset signal terminal Re1 of the second-stage shift register unit, the seventeenth transistor T17 and the eighteenth transistor T18 are turned on, the first reset circuit 25 transmits the low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-up node Q, the first pull-up circuit 22 transmits the high-level signal of the third power supply terminal VDD3 to the pull-down node QB, and under the action of the pull-down node QB, the output circuit transmits the low-level signal of the first power supply terminal VGL1 to each signal output terminal G1-G8. At the same time, the twelfth transistor T12 and the thirteenth transistor T13 are turned on, and the second pull-down circuit 24 transmits the low-level signal of the fourth power supply terminal VGL4 to the pull-up node Q.
[0158] During the blank phase tb, the display panel can sense the threshold and / or mobility of the driving transistors in the pixel driving circuits of some rows. The gate driving circuit can select the pixel driving circuit to be sensed through the selection signal terminal OE. For example, when the gate driving circuit needs to select the pixel driving circuit driven by the second-stage shift register unit, the selection signal line can input a high-level signal to the selection signal terminal OE of the second-stage shift register unit during the first phase t1 of the second-stage shift register unit, so as to input a high-level signal to the third node N3 through the first selection circuit 29.

Simultaneously, for the unselected shift register units, since the third node N3 is at a low level, the first gating circuit 29 cannot write a high level to the pull-up node Q, and the second gating circuit 210 cannot write a low level to the pull-down node QB. Consequently, the unselected shift register units cannot output shift signals.
[0159] It should be noted that the selection signal line can select the shift register unit at any time during the shift register unit is in the scanning phase. When the first signal input terminal IN1 is not multiplexed as the second signal input terminal IN2, the signal on the second signal input terminal IN2 can be different from the signal on the first signal input terminal IN1. The second signal input terminal IN2 can be connected to the signal output terminal of the adjacent previous-stage shift register unit. The time period during which the selection signal line outputs a valid level needs to at least partially overlap with the time period during which the second signal input terminal IN2 outputs a valid level.
