Likewise, the word "comprising" or "comprises", and the like, means that elements or items preceding the word are included in the element or item listed after the word and equivalents thereof, but does not exclude other elements or items. The terms "connected" or "connected," and the like, are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. are used merely to indicate relative positional relationships, which may also be changed when the absolute position of the object to be described is changed.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a shift register in a comparative example, and as shown in fig. 1, the shift register includes: the first input transistor T1, the first output transistor T2, the second input transistor T3, the second output transistor T4, the first gate transistor T5, the second gate transistor T6, the third gate transistor T7, the first capacitor C1 'and the second capacitor C2'. The first input transistor T1, the first output transistor T2, the first gate transistor T5, and the second gate transistor T6 are connected to the first node N1', and the second input transistor T3, the second output transistor T4, the first gate transistor T5, and the third gate transistor T7 are connected to the second node N2'.
The first input transistor T1 is configured to: the first voltage terminal VL is turned on with the first node N1' in response to the control of the first clock signal terminal CK. The first output transistor T2 is configured to: the second voltage terminal VH is turned on with the output terminal GO in response to control of the potential of the first node N1'. The second input transistor T3 is configured to: in response to the control of the first clock signal terminal CK, the input terminal GI is turned on with the second node N2'. The second output transistor T4 is configured to: the second clock signal terminal CB is turned on with the output terminal GO in response to the control of the potential of the second node N2'. The first gate transistor T5 is configured to: the first clock signal terminal CK is turned on with the first node N1 'in response to control of the potential of the second node N2'. The second gating transistor T6 is configured to: in response to the control of the potential of the first node N1', the second voltage terminal VH is turned on with the third gate transistor T7, and the third gate transistor T7 is configured to: the second gating transistor T6 is turned on with the second node N2' in response to the control of the second clock signal terminal CB.
With the shift register with the above structure, in the input stage, the first clock signal terminal CK and the input terminal GI are provided with the active level signal, the second clock signal terminal CB is provided with the inactive level signal, the second input transistor T3 is turned on, the active level signal of the input terminal GI is transmitted to the second node N2', the first gate transistor T5 is turned on, and the active level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK is transmitted to the first node N1'.
In the output stage, an inactive level signal is provided to the first clock signal terminal CK and the input terminal GI, the second clock signal terminal CB provides an active level signal, the third gate transistor T7 is turned on, and at the same time, the second node N2 'is still an active level signal, the first gate transistor T5 is turned on, and the inactive level signal of the first clock signal terminal CK is transmitted to the first node N1'. At this time, the gate and the source of the second input transistor T3 are both inactive level signals, the gate and the source of the second gate transistor T6 are also inactive level signals, that is, the gate-source voltages vgs=0 of the second input transistor T3 and the second gate transistor T6, but when the threshold voltages of the second input transistor T3 and the second gate transistor T6 drift, the second input transistor T3 and the second gate transistor T6 cannot be completely turned off, the second node N2 'will leak through the second input transistor T3 (i.e., the inactive level signal of the input terminal is transmitted to the second node N2'), and the second node N2 'will leak through the third gate transistor T7 and the second gate transistor T6 (i.e., the inactive level signal of the second voltage terminal VH is transmitted to the second node N2'), which will result in output failure of the shift register when serious.
It should be noted that, the transistors in the shift register may be N-type transistors or P-type transistors, and when the transistors are N-type transistors, the negative drift of the threshold voltage of the transistors will cause the transistors to be unable to be completely turned off; when the transistor is a P-type transistor, the forward shift of the threshold voltage of the transistor will not completely turn off. Specifically, taking the P-type transistors as examples of each transistor in the shift register, when the threshold voltages of the second input transistor T3 and the second gate transistor T6 drift forward, in the output stage, since the gate-source voltages vgs=0 of the second input transistor T3 and the second gate transistor T6, the difference between the gate-source voltages Vgs of the second input transistor T3 and the second gate transistor T6 and the threshold voltage Vth may be less than zero, which may result in that the second input transistor T3 and the second gate transistor T6 cannot be completely turned off.
