See also Fig. 4, it illustrates the sequential chart into above-mentioned various signals.See also Fig. 2 to Fig. 4, below will introduce the principle of work of shift register of the present invention particularly.To be that example is introduced the present invention with four clock pulse signal HC (1)~HC (4) below, the quantity that it will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that clock pulse signal be determined that by the number of pixels of LCD the present invention is not limited thereto.After LCD received enabling signal ST, clock pulse signal HC (1)~HC (4) opened successively.
This sentences second level shift register SR (2) introduces present embodiment for example related content.As the starting impulse signal ST (1) of previous stage shift register SR (1) output when being in noble potential, transistor T 1 conducting in the pull-up circuit 110, reference signal is charged to first node Q (2), and in the present embodiment, reference signal can be high reference potential VGH.Therefore, transistor T 2 in first driving circuit 120 be subjected to first node Q (2) thus on the control conducting of current potential, but, the clock pulse signal HC (2) that transistor T 2 source electrodes are received still is in electronegative potential, therefore the corresponding starting impulse signal ST (2) that produced of first driving circuit 120 is in electronegative potential, but it can produce a slight fluctuation at this moment.In addition, transistor T 3 in second driving circuit 130 be subjected to node Q (2) thus on the control conducting of current potential, and because the fixing high reference potential VGH of its source electrode electric property coupling, therefore high reference potential VGH is to its drain charge, thereby draw high the gate driving pulse signal G (n) that its drain electrode is produced, make gate driving pulse signal G (n) be in noble potential.
As the starting impulse signal ST (1) of previous stage shift register SR (1) output when being in electronegative potential, transistor T 1 in the pull-up circuit 110 ends, first node Q this moment (2) is in floating (floating), transistor T 2 in first driving circuit 120 continues conducting, and the clock pulse signal HC (2) that transistor T 2 source electrodes are received is in noble potential, the corresponding starting impulse signal ST (2) that its drain electrode is produced draws high and is in noble potential, finishes until the clock pulse signal HC (2) of correspondence.And, because the existence of capacitor C 2, so the current potential on the first node Q (2) is raised corresponding starting impulse signal ST (2) further.In addition, the transistor T 3 in second driving circuit 130 be subjected to first node Q (2) thus on control of Electric potentials continue conducting, high reference potential VSS continues its drain charge, gate driving pulse signal G (n) that its drain electrode is produced keeps noble potential.
Further, because the grid of the transistor T 42 in the discharge circuit 140 is subjected to the first control signal ST (3) control, therefore the back one-level starting impulse signal ST (3) that one-level shift register SR (3) is exported after first control signal is is when being in noble potential, transistor T 42 conductings, this moment is because the low reference potential VSS of transistor T 42 source electrode electric property couplings, therefore discharge circuit 140 discharges by 42 couples of first node Q of transistor T (n) in very first time section, promptly drags down the current potential on the first node Q (n).In addition, because the grid of the transistor T 43 in the discharge circuit 140 is subjected to the second control signal ST (4) control, therefore the back secondary starting impulse signal ST (4) that two-stage shift register SR (4) is exported after second control signal is is when being in noble potential, transistor T 41 conductings, output terminal by 41 pairs second driving circuits 130 of transistor T in second time period discharges, and promptly drags down corresponding gate driving pulse signal G (2).
And, as shown in Figure 4, the startup of the first control signal ST (3) constantly constantly early than the startup of the second control signal ST (4), therefore, to the discharging action of first node Q (n) early than discharging action to the output terminal of second driving circuit 130.That is to say, current potential on the first node Q (n) is before the output terminal to second driving circuit 130 carries out discharging action, just be pulled down to electronegative potential, the transistor T 3 in second driving circuit 130 ends, and high reference potential VGH stops the output terminal of second driving circuit 130 is charged.Therefore, the present invention discharge circuit 140 can not occur and on one side the output terminal of second driving circuit 130 be discharged, the situation that high reference potential VGH charges to the output terminal of second driving circuit 130 on one side.Therefore, shift register of the present invention can reduce its dynamic power consumption significantly.
