Solution Approach 1:

The voltage input terminal is divided into multiple independent voltage input terminals (first voltage input terminal, second voltage input terminal, third voltage input terminal, fourth voltage input terminal), each capable of providing different voltage levels. This segmentation allows each node in the shift register unit to be independently controlled with different potentials, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and node potential flexibility.
