Solution Overview

Problem

Current display panels with partitioning and frequency division capabilities suffer from issues of dark or bright lines at junctions between different areas due to voltage fluctuations caused by capacitor interactions, affecting display uniformity.

Innovation Solution

A display panel with a driving circuit comprising N-level shift registers connected in cascade, featuring a first control part and a second control part with a control unit and a voltage stabilizing unit, where the second control part receives frequency and voltage signals to stabilize the output signal, preventing voltage fluctuations and maintaining consistent pixel operation.
