Provided in the invention is a drive circuit for a thin-film
transistor liquid crystal display. The drive circuit comprises a
positive edge counter, a negative edge counter, a
shift register, a pre-charging controller, and a lever shifter. To be specific, the
positive edge counter is used for outputting a first
control signal; the negative edge counter is used for outputting a second
control signal; the
shift register is used for receiving a gate starting
signal and outputting a plurality of
clock signals according to the first and second control signals; the pre-charging controller is used for outputting a pre-charging
pulse width modulation signal; and the level shifter is used for carrying out a pre-charging operation on rising edges of at least parts of
clock signals according to the pre-charging
pulse width modulation signal. Compared with the prior art, the pre-charging controller outputs the pre-charging
pulse width modulation signal; and thus the level shifter can carry out the pre-charging operation on rising edges of at least parts of
clock signals. Therefore, the clock signals after pre charging can open the gate of the thin-film
transistor in advance to charge a pixel, so that the pixel can be charged to an expected
voltage potential rapidly; and thus the
power consumption of the drive circuit can be reduced.
