Abstract

The invention discloses a shifting register, a driving method thereof, a gate driving circuit and a display device. The shifting register comprises a first edge trigger, a second edge trigger and a data selector. The embodiment of the invention utilizes the edge triggers and the data selector to realize the shifting register. Since the edge triggers and the data selector are generally formed by NAND gate and circuit repeatability is high, the circuit repeatability in the shifting register can be improved so as to lower the design complexity of a GOA (Gate Driver on Array) layout. In addition, since the edge triggers have a function of keeping an output signal, a reset signal does not need to be input into the gate driving circuit formed by a plurality of shifting registers so as to omit a connecting wire used for transmitting the reset signal between two levels of shifting registers to further lower the design complexity of the GOA layout.

At time t1, the Input signal Input remains at 0, the first clock signal CLK1 changes from 1 to 0, and the first edge flip-flop is a rising edge controlled D flip-flop, so the first signal Out1 output by the first edge flip-flop is still at 0 in accordance with Input before time t 1; the second clock signal CLK2 changes from 0 to 1, and since the second edge flip-flop is a rising edge controlled D flip-flop, the rising edge of CLK2 triggers the second edge flip-flop to latch and output the Input at the current time, and since the flip-flop generally has some delay, the second signal Out2 output by the second edge flip-flop is still consistent with the Input before time t1 at time t1 and after a delay time, the second signal Out2 output by the second edge flip-flop is still consistent with the Input at time t1 and is still 0.
At the stage T1, Input changes from 0 to 1, CLK1 equals 0, and CLK2 equals 1, and since both CLK1 and CLK2 do not change, the first signal Out1 output by the first edge flip-flop is still 0, and the second signal Out2 output by the second edge flip-flop is still 0; at this stage, since CLK2 is 1, CLK2 controls the data selector to Output the second signal Out2 input to the second input terminal thereof to the Output signal terminal Output of the shift register, so that the signal of Output is 0.
At time T2, Input is kept at 1, CLK2 changes from 1 to 0, and since the second edge flip-flop is a rising edge controlled D flip-flop, the second signal Out2 output by the second edge flip-flop is still 0 in accordance with Out2 at stage T1; CLK1 changes from 0 to 1, and since the first edge flip-flop is a rising edge controlled D flip-flop, the rising edge of CLK1 triggers the first edge flip-flop to latch and output the Input at the current time, and since the flip-flop generally has some delay, the first signal Out1 output by the first edge flip-flop still coincides with the output 1 at the T1 stage at time T2 and is 0, and after a delay time, the first signal Out1 output by the first edge flip-flop coincides with the Input at time T2 and becomes 1.
