第2圖為第1圖所示之移位暫存器電路的工作相關訊號波形示意圖,其中橫軸為時間軸。在第2圖中,由上往下的訊號分別為第一時脈CK1、第二時脈CK2、掃描訊號SSn-1、驅動控制電壓VQn、掃描訊號SSn、發光訊號EMn、以及掃描訊號SSn+1。參閱第2圖與第1圖,於時段T1內,掃描訊號SSn-1與第二時脈CK2均由高準位切換為低準位,故可導通第十一電晶體126與第十二電晶體127以下拉驅動控制電壓VQn至第一低電壓準位VL1。此時,具第一低電壓準位VL1之驅動控制電壓VQn可導通第五電晶體137以上拉第一控制訊號SC1至高參考電壓VGH,進而截止第二電晶體131與第三電晶體132。Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the waveforms of the operation-related signals of the shift register circuit shown in Fig. 1, wherein the horizontal axis is the time axis. In the second figure, the signals from top to bottom are the first clock CK1, the second clock CK2, the scan signal SSn-1, the driving control voltage VQn, the scanning signal SSn, the illuminating signal EMn, and the scanning signal SSn+. 1. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 1 , in the period T1, the scan signal SSn-1 and the second clock CK2 are both switched from the high level to the low level, so that the eleventh transistor 126 and the twelfth battery can be turned on. The crystal 127 pulls the driving control voltage VQn to the first low voltage level VL1. At this time, the driving control voltage VQn having the first low voltage level VL1 can turn on the fifth transistor 137 to pull the first control signal SC1 to the high reference voltage VGH, thereby turning off the second transistor 131 and the third transistor 132.

於時段T2內,第二時脈CK2由低準位切換為高準位,據以截止第十一電晶體126與第十二電晶體127,從而使驅動控制電壓VQn成為浮接電壓,又因第一時脈CK1由高準位切換為低準位,故可藉由第一電晶體121之元件電容耦合作用,將驅動控制電壓VQn從第一低電壓準位VL1下拉至第二低電壓準位VL2,並據以導通第一電晶體121,將掃描訊號SSn從高準位下拉至低準位。此時,具低準位之掃描訊號SSn可導通第六電晶體141,進而將發光訊號EMn從低準位上拉至高準位。具低準位之掃描訊號SSn另可導通第九電晶體152以上拉第二控制訊號SC2至高參考電壓VGH,從而截止第七電晶體146。此外,掃描訊號SSn於時段T2內之低電壓準位可導通第十三電晶體156,進而將第十二電晶體127之第一端的電壓下拉至低電壓準位,用來降低第十二電晶體127之汲源極壓差以減少漏電流,如此即可達到驅動控制電壓VQn之穩壓效果。During the period T2, the second clock CK2 is switched from the low level to the high level, thereby turning off the eleventh transistor 126 and the twelfth transistor 127, so that the driving control voltage VQn becomes the floating voltage, and The first clock CK1 is switched from the high level to the low level, so that the driving control voltage VQn can be pulled down from the first low voltage level VL1 to the second low voltage level by capacitive coupling of the elements of the first transistor 121. Bit VL2, and according to the first transistor 121, the scan signal SSn is pulled from the high level to the low level. At this time, the scan signal SSn having a low level can turn on the sixth transistor 141, thereby pulling up the illuminating signal EMn from the low level to the high level. The scan signal SSn having a low level can further turn on the ninth transistor 152 to pull the second control signal SC2 to the high reference voltage VGH, thereby turning off the seventh transistor 146. In addition, the low voltage level of the scan signal SSn during the period T2 can turn on the thirteenth transistor 156, thereby pulling down the voltage of the first end of the twelfth transistor 127 to a low voltage level, thereby reducing the twelfth The voltage difference between the source and the cathode of the transistor 127 is to reduce the leakage current, so that the voltage regulation effect of the driving control voltage VQn can be achieved.

於時段T3內,具低準位之掃描訊號SSn+1可導通第十電晶體161,據以將掃描訊號SSn上拉至高參考電壓VGH,進而截止第六電晶體141與第九電晶體152。此時,因第二時脈CK2由高準位切換為低準位,故可導通第八電晶體151以下拉第二控制訊號SC2至低參考電壓VGL,具低參考電壓VGL之第二控制訊號SC2即用來導通第七電晶體146以下拉發光訊號EMn至低參考電壓VGL。During the period T3, the scan signal SSn+1 having a low level can turn on the tenth transistor 161, thereby pulling up the scan signal SSn to the high reference voltage VGH, thereby turning off the sixth transistor 141 and the ninth transistor 152. At this time, since the second clock CK2 is switched from the high level to the low level, the eighth transistor 151 can be turned on to pull the second control signal SC2 to the low reference voltage VGL, and the second control signal having the low reference voltage VGL The SC2 is used to turn on the seventh transistor 146 to pull the illuminating signal EMn to the low reference voltage VGL.

The circuit is similar to the scanning signal SSn and the illuminating signal EMn. The remaining stages of the shift register can also be based on a circuit including only a P-type transistor to provide mutually inverted scanning signals and illuminating signals.
