The first voltage Vdd can already ensure that the output module 10 outputs the gate driving signal Gn, but in order to ensure that the output module 10 functions more sufficiently, the voltage value of the first voltage Vdd needs to be increased. For this purpose, the boost module 30 is connected to the second end of the coupling capacitor C, and the boost module 30 is configured to provide the second voltage to the second end of the coupling capacitor C, and after the second end of the coupling capacitor C is loaded with the second voltage, the voltage at the second end of the coupling capacitor C is increased, and the voltage difference raised at the second end is coupled to the first end through the capacitive coupling action of the coupling capacitor C to increase the first voltage Vdd. I.e. the first end of the coupling capacitance C is likewise raised by the same voltage difference.
In this embodiment, the pre-charge module 20 outputs the first voltage Vdd to the first terminal of the coupling capacitor C, and the boost module 30 outputs the second voltage to the second terminal of the coupling capacitor C.

To simplify the circuit structure, the arrangement of the circuit is reduced. The first power supply terminal 220 and the second power supply terminal 320 are the same power supply terminal, and the first voltage Vdd and the second voltage are equal. That is, the first terminal of the first responsive switch T1 and the first terminal of the second responsive switch T2 are connected to the same power supply terminal.
