Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a liquid crystal display panel 10 in which a shift register 30 of the present invention is located. An embodiment of the invention provides a shift register 30 for a Gate Driver on Array (GOA) display panel, such as a liquid crystal display panel 10, and the following description will take the liquid crystal display panel 10 as an example.

In the embodiment, the nth shift register 30 is illustrated, wherein the nth shift register 30 includes a pull-down maintaining module 58, a control module 56, an input module 50, an output module 52, and a feedback module 54.
The shift register 30 receives the previous stage gate signal and the clock signal CKn to generate the desired operating point voltage signal Qn and the gate scan signal Gn. However, the clock signal CKn is a periodic signal, and when the gate scan signal Gn is not needed to be output, the clock signal CKn is also coupled to the operating point voltage signal, which may cause a ripple signal, so that the gate line 32 may malfunction.
Therefore, a high frequency signal combination circuit 5802 is added to the pull-down maintaining module 58 to solve this problem. The pull-down maintaining module 58 is electrically coupled to a low predetermined voltage Vss for eliminating noise of the operating point voltage of the shift register 30. The high frequency signal combination circuit 5802 can effectively remove the ripple signal generated by the clock signal CKn, thereby preventing the gate line 32 from generating malfunction.

The feedback module 54 is configured to receive a feedback signal Gn +, and pull down the potentials of the operating point voltage signal Qn and the gate scan signal Gn to a low preset potential according to the feedback signal Gn +.
Further, referring to the embodiment of fig. 2B, as an embodiment of a 6CK clock signal, in order to generate the gate scan signal G3 for the 3 rd gate line 32, the input module 50 has a transistor switch, and generates the operating point voltage required by the shift register 30 for the operating point of the shift register 30 after receiving the gate signal F2.
The output module 52 includes two transistor switches, the control terminal of the left transistor switch pre-charges the operating point voltage of the operating point of the shift register 30 to a pre-charge level and couples the pre-charge level to the operating point voltage signal Q3 according to the clock signal CK3, the first terminal of the transistor switch receives the clock signal CK3, and the second terminal of the transistor switch generates the gate signal F3 required to activate the post-stage shift register 30 and the gate line 32.
The control terminal of the right transistor switch receives the operating point voltage signal Q3, the control terminal of the transistor switch receives the clock signal CK3 according to the operating point voltage signal Q3, and the first terminal of the transistor switch outputs a gate scan signal G3 to the gate line 32 from the second terminal.
The feedback module 54 also includes two transistor switches, control terminals of which are coupled to the gate scan signal G7 of the next stage, the gate scan signal G7 is used as the feedback signal G7 for terminating the gate scan signal G3. The second terminals of the two transistor switches are coupled to the low predetermined potential Vss, and when the left transistor switch receives the gate scan signal G7 of the next stage, the potentials of the operating point voltage signal Q3 and the gate scan signal G3 are respectively pulled down to the low predetermined potential Vss according to the feedback signal G7, thereby terminating the gate line 32.
Fig. 3 is a circuit diagram of the high frequency signal combining circuit 5802 of the present invention. The high frequency signal combining circuit 5802 includes a first switch 40, a second switch 42, and a third switch 44.
The control terminal 40G of the first switch 40 is electrically coupled to one of the clock signal CKn-1 of the previous stage and the clock signal CKn of the previous stage, and the first terminal 40D of the first switch 40 is electrically coupled to the other of the clock signal CKn-1 and the clock signal CKn.

When the clock signal CK3 passes through the control terminal 40G to open the first switch 40, the pull-down signal PQ3 of the intersection of the clock signal CK3 and the clock signal CK2 is transmitted to the second terminal 40S of the first switch 40.
The control terminal 42G of the second switch 42 is electrically coupled to the operating point voltage signal Q3, and the first terminal 42D of the second switch 42 is electrically coupled to the second terminal of the first switch 40.

The control terminal 44G of the third switch 44 is electrically coupled to the second terminal 42S of the second switch 42, the first terminal 44D of the third switch 44 is electrically coupled to the operating point voltage signal Q3, and the second terminal 44S of the third switch 44 is electrically coupled to the low predetermined potential Vss.
Therefore, when the pull-down signal PQ3 turns on the third switch 44 through the control terminal 44G, the low predetermined voltage Vss at the second terminal 44S will pull down the operating point voltage signal Q3 at the first terminal 44D.
Therefore, when the ripple signal occurs in the operating point voltage signal Q3, the second switch 42 is turned on, so that the pull-down signal PQ3 turns on the third switch 44, and the operating point voltage signal Q3 is pulled down to the low predetermined level Vss, thereby eliminating the ripple signal.
Note that the first switch 40 is a first transistor, the second switch 42 is a second transistor, and the third switch 44 is a third transistor.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a waveform diagram illustrating levels of various signals according to the present invention.

The figure still shows an embodiment of a 6CK clock signal, which is CK1, CK2, CK3, CK4, CK5, and CK6, and the waveforms are shown in time sequence.

The pull-down maintaining module 58 in the shift register 30 has the high frequency signal combining circuit 5802, and the pull-down maintaining module 58 is used for eliminating noise of the operating point voltage of the shift register 30.
The high frequency signal combining circuit 5802 further includes a first switch 40, a second switch 42, and a third switch 44.
