When the gate driving circuit is set to scan in the forward direction, forward scanning starting signals from the first gate driving circuit to the Mth gate driving circuit are sequentially output, so that after scanning signals are sequentially output from the first gate driving circuit to the ith stage of shift register in the Mth gate driving circuit, the scanning signals are sequentially output from the first gate driving circuit to the (i +1) th stage of shift register in the Mth gate driving circuit. Similarly, when the gate driving circuit is set to scan in the reverse direction, the reverse scanning start signals from the mth gate driving circuit to the first gate driving circuit are sequentially output, so that after the scanning signals are sequentially output from the mth gate driving circuit to the (i +1) th stage shift register in the first gate driving circuit, the scanning signals are sequentially output from the mth gate driving circuit to the ith stage shift register in the first gate driving circuit, and the positive and negative scanning process of the set gate driving circuit is completed.

The connection relations between the virtual shift register and the shift register and between the ith-stage shift register and the (i +1) th-stage shift register in the first gate driving circuit and the second gate driving circuit are the same as those in fig. 1. During forward scanning, a forward scanning trigger signal STV11 of the first gate driving circuit and a forward scanning trigger signal STV21 of the second gate driving circuit are sequentially output, so that after scanning signals are sequentially output from the ith stage of shift register in the first gate driving circuit to the second gate driving circuit, scanning signals are sequentially output from the first gate driving circuit to the (i +1) th stage of shift register in the second gate driving circuit.

As shown in fig. 4, the first pull-down module of the shift register includes an eleventh transistor T11, a gate of the eleventh transistor T11 is electrically connected to the first node P, a first terminal of the eleventh transistor T11 is electrically connected to the second node Q, and a second terminal of the eleventh transistor T11 is electrically connected to the reference level terminal VG.
As shown in fig. 4, the second pull-down module of the shift register includes a twelfth transistor T12, a thirteenth transistor T13 and a first capacitor C1, a first plate of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first clock signal CKB, a second plate of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the second node Q, a gate of the twelfth transistor T12 is electrically connected to the second node Q, a first end of the twelfth transistor T12 is electrically connected to the first node P, a second end of the twelfth transistor T12 is electrically connected to the reference level terminal VG, a gate of the thirteenth transistor T13 is electrically connected to the second node Q, a first end ut of the thirteenth transistor T13 is electrically connected to the output terminal goi of the shift register, and a second end of the thirteenth transistor T13 is electrically connected to the reference level terminal VG.
As shown in fig. 4, the output module of the shift register includes a fourteenth transistor T14, a fifteenth transistor T15 and a second capacitor C2, a first plate of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the first node P, a second plate of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the output terminal GOUT of the shift register, a gate of the fourteenth transistor T14 is electrically connected to the first node P, a first end of the fourteenth transistor T14 is connected to the first clock signal CKB, a second end of the fourteenth transistor T14 is electrically connected to the output terminal GOUT of the shift register, a gate of the fifteenth transistor T15 is connected to the second clock signal CK, a first end ut of the fifteenth transistor T15 is electrically connected to the output terminal GOUT of the shift register, and a second end of the fifteenth transistor T15 is electrically connected to the reference level terminal VG. The first clock signal CKB and the second clock signal CK are out of phase (i.e., the second clock signal CK is falling when the first clock signal CKB is rising, and the second clock signal CK is rising when the first clock signal CKB is falling), and the first voltage terminal DIR1 and the second voltage terminal DIR2 are opposite in level (i.e., the second voltage terminal DIR2 is low when the first voltage terminal DIR1 is high, and the second voltage terminal DIR2 is high when the first voltage terminal DIR1 is low).
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, fig. 5 is a timing diagram of an embodiment of the invention, in which the reference level terminal VG outputs a low level, and the output level of the first voltage terminal DIR1 is opposite to the output level of the second voltage terminal DIR 2; when the gate driving circuit is in the positive scan state, the first voltage terminal DIR1 outputs high level, and the second voltage terminal DIR2 outputs low level; and when the gate driving circuit is reversely swept, the first voltage terminal DIR1 outputs a low level, and the second voltage terminal DIR2 outputs a high level. The first voltage terminal DIR1 outputting high level and the second voltage terminal DIR2 outputting low level when the gate driving circuit is in normal scan will be described. The operation of the shift register shown in fig. 4 includes three stages, i.e., a first stage t1, a second stage t2, and a third stage t 3:
in the first phase T1, the positive scan input SET is asserted to the high trigger signal to control the ninth transistor T9 to transmit the high level of the first voltage terminal DIR1 to the first node P. The first node P controls the eleventh transistor T11 and the fourteenth transistor T14 to be turned on, so that the second node Q is turned on with the reference level terminal VG, and the output terminal GOUT of the shift register and the first clock signal CKB are turned on; meanwhile, the fifteenth transistor T15 is controlled to be turned on by the second clock signal CK, so that the output terminal GOUT of the shift register is connected to the reference level terminal VG. At this time, the potential of the first node P is at a high level, the potential of the second node Q is at a low level, and the output terminal GOUT of the shift register is at a low level.
In the second stage T2, due to the bootstrap effect of the capacitor C2, the potential of the first node P is higher than that in the first stage T1, the first node P controls the eleventh transistor T11 and the fourteenth transistor T14 to be turned on, so that the second node Q is turned on with the reference level terminal VG, and the output terminal GOUT of the shift register and the first clock signal CKB are turned on; and the fifteenth transistor T15 is turned off in response to the low level of the second clock signal CK. At this time, the voltage level of the first node P is high, the voltage level of the second node Q is low, and the output terminal GOUT of the shift register is high transmitted by the first clock signal CKB.

And after the third stage T3, the potential of the second node Q is high-level-converted with the high level of the first clock signal CKB, and then when the potential of the second node Q is high-level, the twelfth transistor T12 and the thirteenth transistor T13 are controlled to be turned on, so that the first node P and the output terminal GOUT of the shift register are both electrically connected to the reference level terminal VG, and the potentials of the first node P and the output terminal GOUT of the shift register are kept at low levels.
It should be noted that, when the gate driving circuit is in reverse scan, the operation principle of the shift register shown in fig. 4 in the first stage to the third stage is the same as that of the gate driving circuit in normal scan, and the difference is that: in the first stage of reverse scanning, the high level is switched on by the reverse scanning input end, the tenth transistor is controlled to transmit the high level of the second voltage end to the first node, and the ninth transistor is switched off in response to the low level of the forward scanning input end; and in the third stage of reverse scan, the forward scan input end is connected to a high level, the ninth transistor is controlled to transmit the low level of the first voltage end to the first node, and the tenth transistor is turned off in response to the low level of the reverse scan input end, which is not described in detail herein.
Further, the shift register provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a reset module, where the reset module is configured to control on states of the reference level terminal and the first node, and the reference level terminal and the output terminal of the shift register in response to a reset signal, and the reset module is configured to reset potentials of the first node and the output terminal of the shift register before the gate driving circuit operates. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the reset module of the shift register according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a sixteenth transistor T16 and a seventeenth transistor T17, gates of the sixteenth transistor T16 and the seventeenth transistor T17 are both connected to the reset signal RE, a first end of the sixteenth transistor T16 is electrically connected to the first node P, a second end of the sixteenth transistor T16 is electrically connected to the reference level terminal VG, a first end of the seventeenth transistor T17 is electrically connected to the output terminal GOUT of the shift register, and a second end of the seventeenth transistor T17 is electrically connected to the reference level terminal VG.
As shown in fig. 6, which is a schematic structural diagram of a first dummy shift register according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein a precharge module of the first dummy shift register includes: a first transistor T1, a gate of the first transistor T1 is connected to the normally-off control signal VGx, a first terminal of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first voltage terminal DIR1, and a second terminal of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first node P; a gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to an output terminal of the first stage shift register (a gate of the second transistor T2 is an inverted scan input terminal END of the first dummy shift register), a first terminal of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second voltage terminal DIR2, and a second terminal of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first node P.
It can be understood that, in the precharge module of the first virtual shift register provided in the embodiment of the present invention, since the gate of the first transistor is connected to the normally-off control signal, the normally-off control signal can control the first transistor to maintain the off state, so that the path between the first voltage terminal and the first node can be maintained in the off state. Since the first voltage terminal cannot transmit a signal to the first node, the first dummy shift register can be kept outputting an invalid level signal while being swept. And when the grid driving circuit performs reverse scanning, the reverse scanning input end of the first virtual shift register is connected with the scanning signal output by the output end of the first-stage shift register, then the second transistor is controlled to connect the second voltage end with the first node, and after the work processing of each composition structure of the first virtual shift register, the switching-off signal is output to the reverse switching-off input end of the first-stage shift register, so that the first-stage shift register is switched off.
