In some alternative embodiments, with reference to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the eleventh transistor T11 is a polysilicon transistor, and the twelfth transistor T12 is an oxide transistor; and/or, the thirteenth transistor T13 is a polysilicon transistor, and the fourteenth transistor T14 is an oxide transistor.

The shift register of the embodiment can simultaneously meet the output of positive and negative pulses, namely when the SCAN-P output of the first output signal terminal is at a high level, the SCAN-N output of the second output signal terminal is at a low level; when the first output signal terminal SCAN-P output is at low level, the second output signal terminal SCAN-N output is at high level. Since the first inverting unit 201 of the present embodiment is located between the first node control unit 101 and the third node Q1, the second inverting unit 202 is located between the first node control unit 102 and the fourth node QB1, and the potential signals of the third node Q1 and the fourth node QB1 only need to be used for driving several transistors in the second output unit 302, the first inverting unit 201 and the second inverting unit 202 connected to the third node Q1 and the fourth node QB1 do not need strong driving capability, and further the low temperature polysilicon thin film transistor and the metal oxide thin film transistor as the functional transistors in the scan driving circuit do not need to occupy large space layout, which is beneficial to satisfying the driving capability and reducing the manufacturing size.
It should be noted that, in the shift register circuit in the prior art, a CMOS circuit is generally used as an inverting unit circuit (a basic unit circuit inverter of the CMOS circuit is composed of N-channel and P-channel low-temperature polysilicon transistors, and works in a push-pull manner, and an integrated circuit capable of implementing a certain logic function, referred to as a CMOS for short), because other control units and transistors of an output unit of the shift register circuit in this embodiment are P-channel low-temperature polysilicon transistors (or N-channel low-temperature polysilicon transistors, which are different in channel doping), if the inverting unit is also used as the CMOS circuit in the prior art, the manufacturing process of the N-channel low-temperature polysilicon transistors is inevitably increased, and the manufacturing process efficiency is further affected.
In some optional embodiments, please refer to fig. 3, 9 and 10 in combination, fig. 9 is a schematic plane structure diagram of a display panel 000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 10 is a schematic structure diagram of a pixel circuit in fig. 9, and a display panel 000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a plurality of pixel circuits 10; at least one scan driving circuit 20, the scan driving circuit 20 including a plurality of shift registers 30, the shift registers 30 being any one of the shift registers of the above embodiments; the first and second output signal terminals SCAN-P and SCAN-N of the shift register 30 are electrically connected to the pixel circuit 10.
Alternatively, a plurality of shift registers 30 in the scan driving circuit 20 are arranged in cascade; the input control signal terminal of the mth stage shift register is electrically connected to the first output signal terminal SCAN-P of the (M-1) th stage shift register, where M is an integer, M is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to M, and M is the number of shift registers 30 in the SCAN driving circuit 20. That is, the input control signal terminal of the first stage shift register provides the start control signal through the external circuit, and the input control signal terminal of the second stage shift register is electrically connected to the first output signal terminal SCAN-P of the first stage shift register, that is, the output signal of the first output signal terminal SCAN-P of the first stage shift register provides the control signal of the input control signal terminal of the second stage shift register, and so on.
Specifically, a pixel circuit in the prior art is generally shown in fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of a pixel circuit in the prior art, a pixel circuit in the prior art OLED panel generally adopts a 7T1C circuit shown in fig. 11, wherein 7T (7 transistors) are all composed of PMOS, and a scan signal connected to a scan line only needs to be input by S-p. In the pixel circuit 10 of the display panel 000 of the present embodiment, oxide TFTs (M4 and M5 in fig. 10, which are both N-type TFTs) are introduced, so S2-N input signal terminals (equivalent to connect the second output signal terminals SCAN-N of the shift register provided by the present embodiment) in fig. 10 and S2-P input signal terminals (equivalent to connect the first output signal terminals SCAN-P of the shift register provided by the present embodiment) in fig. 10 need to be added, that is, the first output signal terminals SCAN-P and the second output signal terminals SCAN-N of the shift register provided by the present embodiment need to be electrically connected to the pixel circuit in fig. 10.
In the pixel circuit 10 of the present embodiment, since oxide TFTs (M4 and M5 in fig. 10, which are mostly N-type TFTs) are introduced during the manufacturing process, the shift register 30 circuit designed in the present embodiment is designed by designing the eleventh transistor T11 as a polysilicon transistor and the twelfth transistor T12 as an oxide transistor; and/or, the thirteenth transistor T13 is a polysilicon transistor, and the fourteenth transistor T14 is an oxide transistor, which can avoid the additional fabrication of N-channel low temperature polysilicon transistors on the peripheral shift register 30 circuit, thereby improving the fabrication efficiency. Moreover, the inverting unit of the embodiment acts on the third node Q1 and the fourth node QB1 of the shift register 30 circuit, and the potential signals of the third node Q1 and the fourth node QB1 only need to be used for driving a few transistors in the second output unit 302, so that a strong driving capability is not needed, even if the mobility of the oxide transistor is low, a large-sized oxide transistor does not need to be manufactured, a large-space layout is avoided, and the manufacturing size is reduced while the driving capability is satisfied.
It should be noted that fig. 9 of this embodiment only schematically illustrates a structure of the display panel 000 related to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, and it is understood that the display panel 000 of this embodiment further includes other structures for implementing a display function, for example, optionally, the display panel 000 may further include a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of data lines (not shown in the figure), the plurality of scan lines and the plurality of data lines intersect to define a plurality of pixels, and each pixel includes the pixel circuit 10 provided in this embodiment, and may further include a data line driving circuit, a voltage supply unit, and the like.
As can be seen from the above embodiments, the shift register, the control method thereof, and the display panel provided by the present invention at least achieve the following beneficial effects:
the shift register can simultaneously meet the output of positive and negative pulses, namely when the output of a first output signal end is at a high level, the output of a second output signal end is at a low level; when the output of the first output signal terminal is at low level, the output of the second output signal terminal is at high level. Because the first phase reversal unit is positioned between the first node control unit and the third node, the second phase reversal unit is positioned between the first node control unit and the fourth node, and potential signals of the third node and the fourth node only need to be used for driving the second output unit, the first phase reversal unit and the second phase reversal unit connected with the third node and the fourth node do not need strong driving capability and further do not need to occupy larger space layout.
