Equivalently, the switch T42 or the switch T43 pulls down the voltage level of the n-th operating node Q (n) to the second regulated voltage VSSQ. When the switch T32 or the switch T33 is turned on, the switch T32 or the switch T33 pulls down the voltage level of the n-th stage output voltage G (n) to the third regulated voltage VSSG. When the switch T34 or the switch T35 is turned on, the switch T34 or the switch T35 pulls down the voltage level of the n-th trigger signal ST (n) to the second regulated voltage VSSQ. In some embodiments, the third regulated voltage VSSG is substantially the same as the second regulated voltage VSSQ.

A first terminal of the switch T55 and the switch T52 is electrically connected to a control terminal of the switch T53, and a second terminal of the switch T55 and the switch T52 is used to receive a second regulated voltage VSSQ. The first ends of the switches T56 and T54 are electrically connected to the n-th stage main voltage stabilizing node P (n), and the second ends of the switches T56 and T54 are used to receive a second regulated voltage VSSQ.

在操作上,開關T51依據控制訊號LC1導通或截止。當開關T51依據具有高電壓位準的控制訊號LC1導通,開關T51將控制訊號LC1傳輸至開關T53的控制端。開關T53依據具有高電壓位準的控制訊號LC1導通。當開關T53導通,開關T53將具有高電壓位準的控制訊號LC1傳輸至第n級主穩壓節點P(n)。開關T52以及開關T54依據第n級操作節點Q(n)的電壓位準導通或截止。舉例而言,當工作電路280將第一操作電壓VGH傳輸至第n級操作節點Q(n),開關T52或開關T54導通。開關T55以及開關T56依據第n+k級操作節點Q(n+k)的電壓位準導通或截止。當開關T52或開關T55導通,開關T52或開關T55將開關T53的控制端的電壓位準下拉至第二穩壓電壓 VSSQ。當開關T54或開關T56導通,第二穩壓電壓VSSQ透過開關T54或開關T56提供至第n級穩壓節點P(n)。等效而言,開關T54或開關T56將第n級主穩壓節點P(n)的電壓位準下拉至第二穩壓電壓VSSQ。 In operation, the switch T51 is turned on or off according to the control signal LC1. When the switch T51 is turned on according to the control signal LC1 having a high voltage level, the switch T51 transmits the control signal LC1 to the control terminal of the switch T53. The switch T53 is turned on according to a control signal LC1 having a high voltage level. When the switch T53 is turned on, the switch T53 transmits the control signal LC1 with a high voltage level to the n-th stage main voltage stabilization node P (n). The switches T52 and T54 are turned on or off according to the voltage level of the n-th stage operation node Q (n). For example, when the operating circuit 280 transmits the first operation voltage VGH to the n-th stage operation node Q (n), the switch T52 or the switch T54 is turned on. The switches T55 and T56 are turned on or off according to the voltage level of the n + k-th operating node Q (n + k). When the switch T52 or the switch T55 is turned on, the switch T52 or the switch T55 pulls down the voltage level of the control terminal of the switch T53 to the second regulated voltage VSSQ. When the switch T54 or the switch T56 is turned on, the second regulated voltage VSSQ is provided to the n-th stage regulated voltage node P (n) through the switch T54 or the switch T56. Equivalently, the switch T54 or the switch T56 pulls down the voltage level of the n-th main regulator node P (n) to the second regulated voltage VSSQ.

在一些實施例中,工作電路280依據來自第(n-2)移位暫存電路的第(n-2)級觸發訊號ST(n-2)同時提供第一操作電壓VGH至第n級操作節點Q(n)以及第n+k級操作節點Q(n+k)。具體來說,工作電路280包含第一開關T11以及第二開關T13。第一開關T11以及第二開關T13的第一端用以接收第一操作電壓VGH。在一些實施例中,第一操作電壓VGH的電壓位準高於第二穩壓電壓VSSQ或第三穩壓電壓VSSG的電壓位準。第一開關T11以及第二開關T13的控制端用以接收第(n-2)級觸發訊號ST(n-2)。第一開關T11的第二端電性連接第n級操作節點Q(n)。第二開關T13的第二端電性連接第n+k級操作節點Q(n+k)(繪示於第2B圖中)。 In some embodiments, the working circuit 280 simultaneously provides the first operation voltage VGH to the n-th stage operation according to the (n-2) th stage trigger signal ST (n-2) from the (n-2) th shift register circuit. The node Q (n) and the n + k-th stage operate the node Q (n + k). Specifically, the working circuit 280 includes a first switch T11 and a second switch T13. The first terminals of the first switch T11 and the second switch T13 are used to receive a first operating voltage VGH. In some embodiments, the voltage level of the first operating voltage VGH is higher than the voltage level of the second regulated voltage VSSQ or the third regulated voltage VSSG. The control terminals of the first switch T11 and the second switch T13 are used to receive the (n-2) th level trigger signal ST (n-2). The second terminal of the first switch T11 is electrically connected to the n-th stage operation node Q (n). The second terminal of the second switch T13 is electrically connected to the n + k-th operating node Q (n + k) (shown in FIG. 2B).

在操作上,第一開關T11以及第二開關T13依據第(n-2)級觸發訊號ST(n-2)導通或截止。當第一開關T11導通,第一開關T11將第一操作電壓VGH傳輸至第n級操作節點Q(n)。當第二開關T13導通,第二開關T13將第一操作電壓VGH傳輸至第(n+k)級操作節點Q(n+k)。由於第一開關T11以及第二開關T13的控制端以及第一端皆接收相同的訊號,因此第n級操作節點Q(n)與第(n+k)級操作節點Q(n+k)的電壓位準實質上相同。第n級移位暫存電路120[n]依據傳輸至第n級操作節點Q(n)的第一操作電壓VGH輸出第n級輸出電壓 G(n)。第n+k級移位暫存電路120[n+k]依據傳輸至第n+k級操作節點Q(n+k)的第一操作電壓VGH輸出第n+k級輸出電壓G(n+k)。 In operation, the first switch T11 and the second switch T13 are turned on or off according to the (n-2) th level trigger signal ST (n-2). When the first switch T11 is turned on, the first switch T11 transmits the first operation voltage VGH to the n-th stage operation node Q (n). When the second switch T13 is turned on, the second switch T13 transmits the first operation voltage VGH to the (n + k) -th stage operation node Q (n + k). Since the control terminal and the first terminal of the first switch T11 and the second switch T13 receive the same signal, the n-th operating node Q (n) and the (n + k) -level operating node Q (n + k) The voltage levels are essentially the same. The n-th stage shift temporary storage circuit 120 [n] outputs the n-th stage output voltage according to the first operation voltage VGH transmitted to the n-th stage operation node Q (n). G (n). The n + k-stage shift temporary storage circuit 120 [n + k] outputs the n + k-stage output voltage G (n +) according to the first operation voltage VGH transmitted to the n + k-stage operation node Q (n + k). k).

如上所述,由於第n級操作節點Q(n)與第(n+k)級操作節點Q(n+k)的電壓位準實質上相同,第n級移位暫存電路120[n]與第n+k級移位暫存電路120[n+k]的充電能力趨於一致或相近。如此,第n級輸出電壓G(n)以及第n+k級輸出電壓G(n+k)的電壓差得以降低,進而降低兩級間亮暗線的問題。 As described above, since the voltage levels of the n-th operation node Q (n) and the (n + k) -th operation node Q (n + k) are substantially the same, the n-th shift temporary storage circuit 120 [n] The charging capacity of the n + k-th stage shift temporary storage circuit 120 [n + k] tends to be the same or similar. In this way, the voltage difference between the n-th stage output voltage G (n) and the n + k-th stage output voltage G (n + k) is reduced, thereby reducing the problem of bright and dark lines between the two stages.

在一些實施例中,第n級移位暫存電路120[n]更包含開關T44、開關T41以及開關T31。開關T44的第一端電性連接第n級操作節點Q(n),開關T44的控制端用以接收觸發訊號ST,開關T44的第二端用以接收第二穩壓電壓VSSQ。開關T41的第一端電性連接第n級操作節點Q(n),開關T41的控制端用以接收第n+k+3級觸發訊號ST(n+k+3),開關T41的第二端用以接收第二穩壓電壓VSSQ。開關T31的第一端用以接收第n級輸出電壓G(n),開關T31的控制端用以接收第n+k+3級輸出訊號G(n+k+3),開關T31的第二端用以接收第三穩壓電壓VSSG。 In some embodiments, the n-th stage temporary storage circuit 120 [n] further includes a switch T44, a switch T41, and a switch T31. The first terminal of the switch T44 is electrically connected to the n-th stage operation node Q (n), the control terminal of the switch T44 is used to receive the trigger signal ST, and the second terminal of the switch T44 is used to receive the second regulated voltage VSSQ. The first terminal of the switch T41 is electrically connected to the n-th stage operation node Q (n). The control terminal of the switch T41 is used to receive the n + k + 3 level trigger signal ST (n + k + 3). The second of the switch T41 is The terminal is used for receiving the second regulated voltage VSSQ. The first terminal of the switch T31 is used to receive the nth stage output voltage G (n), the control terminal of the switch T31 is used to receive the n + k + 3 stage output signal G (n + k + 3), and the second of the switch T31 is The terminal is used for receiving the third regulated voltage VSSG.

在操作上,開關T41依據第n+k+3級觸發訊號ST(n+k+3)導通或截止。當開關T41導通,開關T41將第n級操作節點Q(n)的電壓位準下拉至第二穩壓電壓VSSQ。開關T31依據第n+k+3級輸出訊號G(n+k+3)導通或截止。當開關T31導通,開關T31將第n級輸出電壓G(n)下拉至第三穩壓電 壓VSSG。 In operation, the switch T41 is turned on or off according to the n + k + 3 level trigger signal ST (n + k + 3). When the switch T41 is turned on, the switch T41 pulls down the voltage level of the n-th stage operation node Q (n) to the second regulated voltage VSSQ. The switch T31 is turned on or off according to the n + k + 3 level output signal G (n + k + 3). When the switch T31 is turned on, the switch T31 pulls down the n-th stage output voltage G (n) to the third regulated voltage Press VSSG.

在一些實施例中,除了工作電路280外,第2B圖的第n+k級移位暫存電路120[n+k]與第2A圖的第n級移位暫存電路120[n]具有相似的電路架構。為了易於理解的目的,第2B圖中與第2A圖中相似的元件將指定相同的標號。以下僅針對第2B圖與第2A圖中的主要差異進行描述。 In some embodiments, in addition to the working circuit 280, the n + k-stage shift register circuit 120 [n + k] of FIG. 2B and the n-stage shift register circuit 120 [n] of FIG. 2A have Similar circuit architecture. For ease of understanding, similar elements in Figure 2B as in Figure 2A will be assigned the same reference numerals. The following only describes the main differences between Figure 2B and Figure 2A.

第2A圖的開關T42、開關T32以及開關T34依據第n級主穩壓節點P(n)的電壓位準導通或截止。第2B圖的開關T42、開關T32以及開關T34是依據第n+k級主穩壓節點P(n+k)的電壓位準導通或截止。 The switch T42, the switch T32, and the switch T34 in FIG. 2A are turned on or off according to the voltage level of the n-th stage main voltage regulation node P (n). The switch T42, the switch T32, and the switch T34 in FIG. 2B are turned on or off according to the voltage level of the n + k-th main voltage regulation node P (n + k).

第2A圖的開關T43、開關T33以及開關T35依據第n級次穩壓節點(即第n+k級主穩壓節點P(n+k))的電壓位準導通或截止。換言之,第n級次穩壓節點的電壓位準實質上相同於第n+k級主穩壓節點P(n+k)的電壓位準。 The switch T43, the switch T33, and the switch T35 in FIG. 2A are turned on or off according to the voltage level of the n-th level voltage stabilizing node (that is, the n + k-th level voltage stabilizing node P (n + k)). In other words, the voltage level of the n-th secondary voltage stabilization node is substantially the same as the voltage level of the n + k-th primary voltage stabilization node P (n + k).

第2B圖的開關T43、開關T33以及開關T35是依據第n+k級次穩壓節點(即第n級主穩壓節點P(n))的電壓位準導通或截止。換言之,第n+k級次穩壓節點的電壓位準實質上相同於第n級主穩壓節點P(n)的電壓位準。 The switches T43, T33, and T35 of FIG. 2B are turned on or off according to the voltage level of the n + k-th secondary voltage stabilization node (that is, the n-th primary voltage stabilization node P (n)). In other words, the voltage level of the n + k-th secondary voltage stabilization node is substantially the same as the voltage level of the n-th primary voltage stabilization node P (n).

據此,當第n級主穩壓節點P(n)的電壓位準為高(例如:邏輯值1)時,第2A圖中的開關T42、開關T32以及開關T34會導通,以分別將第n級操作節點Q(n)、第n級輸出電壓G(n)以及第n級觸發訊號ST(n)下拉至第二穩壓電壓VSSQ或第三穩壓電壓VSSG。同時,第2B圖中的開關T43、開關T33以及開關T35會導通,以分別將第n+k級操作節點Q(n+k)、第 n+k級輸出電壓G(n+k)以及第n+k級觸發訊號ST(n+k)下拉至第二穩壓電壓VSSQ或第三穩壓電壓VSSG。等效而言,第n級主穩壓節點P(n)的電壓位準可同時控制第2A圖中第n級移位暫存電路120[n]以及第2B圖中第n+k級移位暫存電路120[n+k]的下拉操作,以達到共享節點以及雙重控制下拉操作的功效。 According to this, when the voltage level of the n-th stage main voltage stabilizing node P (n) is high (for example: logic value 1), the switches T42, T32, and T34 in FIG. 2A are turned on, so that the The n-level operating node Q (n), the n-th output voltage G (n), and the n-th trigger signal ST (n) are pulled down to the second regulated voltage VSSQ or the third regulated voltage VSSG. At the same time, the switches T43, T33, and T35 in FIG. 2B are turned on, so that the n + k-th operating node Q (n + k), the The output voltage G (n + k) of the n + k stage and the trigger signal ST (n + k) of the n + k stage are pulled down to the second regulated voltage VSSQ or the third regulated voltage VSSG. Equivalently, the voltage level of the n-th stage main stabilizing node P (n) can simultaneously control the n-th stage shift temporary storage circuit 120 [n] in Fig. 2A and the n + k-stage shift in Fig. 2B The pull-down operation of the bit temporary storage circuit 120 [n + k] is to achieve the effects of shared nodes and dual control pull-down operation.

相似地,當第n+k級主穩壓節點P(n+k)的電壓位準為高時,第2B圖中的開關T42、開關T32或開關T34會導通,以分別將第n+k級操作節點Q(n+k)、第n+k級輸出電壓G(n+k)或第n+k級觸發訊號ST(n+k)下拉至第二穩壓電壓VSSQ或第三穩壓電壓VSSG。同時,第2A圖中的開關T43、開關T33或開關T35會導通,以分別將第n級操作節點Q(n)、第n級輸出電壓G(n)或第n級觸發訊號ST(n)下拉至第二穩壓電壓VSSQ或第三穩壓電壓VSSG。等效而言,第n+k級主穩壓節點P(n+k)的電壓位準可同時控制第2A圖中第n級移位暫存電路120[n]以及第2B圖中第n+k級移位暫存電路120[n+k]的下拉操作,以達到共享節點以及雙重控制下拉操作的功效。 Similarly, when the voltage level of the main voltage regulation node P (n + k) of the n + kth stage is high, the switch T42, the switch T32, or the switch T34 in FIG. 2B will be turned on to turn the n + kth Stage operation node Q (n + k), n + k stage output voltage G (n + k) or n + k stage trigger signal ST (n + k) is pulled down to the second stabilized voltage VSSQ or the third stabilized voltage Voltage VSSG. At the same time, the switch T43, the switch T33, or the switch T35 in FIG. 2A will be turned on, so as to respectively switch the nth operating node Q (n), the nth output voltage G (n), or the nth trigger signal ST (n) Pull down to the second regulated voltage VSSQ or the third regulated voltage VSSG. Equivalently, the voltage level of the main regulator node P (n + k) at the n + k stage can control the nth stage temporary storage circuit 120 [n] in Fig. 2A and the nth stage in Fig. 2B. The pull-down operation of the + k-stage temporary storage circuit 120 [n + k] is to achieve the effects of shared nodes and dual control of the pull-down operation.

關於第2A圖的控制電路260如何控制第n級主穩壓節點P(n)的電壓位準將於以下進行描述。當控制訊號LC1的電壓位準為高時,開關T51導通。開關T51將控制訊號LC1傳輸至開關T53的控制端。當開關T53導通,開關T53將控制訊號LC1傳輸至第n級主穩壓節點P(n)。 How the control circuit 260 in FIG. 2A controls the voltage level of the n-th stage main regulator node P (n) will be described below. When the voltage level of the control signal LC1 is high, the switch T51 is turned on. The switch T51 transmits the control signal LC1 to the control terminal of the switch T53. When the switch T53 is turned on, the switch T53 transmits the control signal LC1 to the n-th stage main voltage stabilizing node P (n).

由於第2B圖的控制電路260如何控制第n+k級主穩壓節點P(n+k)的電壓位準具有相似於上述的內容,故於此 不再贅述。 Since the control circuit 260 in FIG. 2B controls the voltage level of the n + k-th main voltage stabilizing node P (n + k), the content is similar to that described above. No longer.

請參考第3圖。第3圖是依照本揭示一些實施例所繪示的第1圖的閘極驅動電路100中部分訊號的時序圖。為了易於理解的目的,以下將以n等於13且k等於1為例進行說明。換言之,在這些例子中,第2A圖的第n級移位暫存電路120[n]為第13級移位暫存電路,且第2B圖的第n+k級移位暫存電路120[n+k]為第14級移位暫存電路。 Please refer to Figure 3. FIG. 3 is a timing diagram of some signals in the gate driving circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. For ease of understanding, the following description will be made by taking n equal to 13 and k equal to 1. In other words, in these examples, the n-th stage shift register circuit 120 [n] in FIG. 2A is the 13th-stage shift register circuit, and the n + k-stage shift register circuit 120 in FIG. 2B n + k] is a 14th stage shift temporary storage circuit.

第3圖繪示了第1級時脈訊號HC(1)至第17級時脈訊號HC(17)、觸發訊號ST(11)以及ST(12)、位於第13級操作節點Q(13)以及第14級操作節點Q(14)的電壓訊號、位於第13級主穩壓節點P(13)以及第14級主穩壓節點P(14)的電壓訊號、第13級輸出訊號G(13)、第14級輸出訊號G(14)、觸發訊號ST(16)以及ST(17)。上述該些時脈訊號對應於電壓VH以及電壓VL。另外,上述該些時脈訊號以8級為單位。舉例而言,第1級時脈訊號HC(1)與第9級時脈訊號HC(9)實質上同步或相同。 Figure 3 shows the clock signal HC (1) from level 1 to HC (17) from level 17, the trigger signals ST (11) and ST (12), and the node Q (13) at level 13 And the voltage signal of the 14th-level operation node Q (14), the voltage signal of the 13th-level main voltage regulation node P (13) and the 14th-level main voltage-regulation node P (14), and the 13th-level output signal G (13 ), Level 14 output signal G (14), trigger signal ST (16) and ST (17). The above-mentioned clock signals correspond to the voltage VH and the voltage VL. In addition, the above-mentioned clock signals are in units of 8 levels. For example, the first-stage clock signal HC (1) and the ninth-stage clock signal HC (9) are substantially synchronized or the same.

在時間T1,觸發訊號ST(11)的電壓位準轉為高電壓位準。第13級移位暫存電路的工作電路280的第一開關T11以及第二開關T13依據觸發訊號ST(11)導通。第一操作電壓VGH分別透過第一開關T11以及第二開關T13傳輸至第13級操作節點Q(13)以及第14級操作節點Q(14)。據此,位於第13級操作節點Q(13)以及位於第14級操作節點Q(14)的電壓位準上升至第一操作電壓VGH。等效而言,在時間T1至時間T2,第13級操作節點Q(13)以及第14級操作節點Q(14)同時由 第二穩壓電壓VSSQ改變成第一操作電壓VGH。 At time T1, the voltage level of the trigger signal ST (11) is changed to a high voltage level. The first switch T11 and the second switch T13 of the working circuit 280 of the thirteenth stage temporary storage circuit are turned on according to the trigger signal ST (11). The first operating voltage VGH is transmitted to the thirteenth-level operation node Q (13) and the fourteenth-level operation node Q (14) through the first switch T11 and the second switch T13, respectively. Accordingly, the voltage levels of the operation node Q (13) at the 13th level and the operation node Q (14) at the 14th level rise to the first operation voltage VGH. Equivalently, from time T1 to time T2, the 13th level operation node Q (13) and the 14th level operation node Q (14) are simultaneously The second regulated voltage VSSQ is changed to the first operation voltage VGH.

另外,在時間T1至時間T2,由於第2A圖的開關T54以及第2B圖的開關T56依據位於第13級操作節點Q(13)的電壓位準逐漸導通,因此第13級穩壓節點P(13)透過開關T54被下拉且第14級穩壓節點P(14)透過開關T56被下拉至第二穩壓電壓VSSQ。換言之,第13級穩壓節點P(13)以及第14級穩壓節點P(14)由第一穩壓電壓V1(例如:控制訊號LC1的高電壓位準)改變為第二穩壓電壓VSSQ。由於位於第14級穩壓節點P(14)的電壓位準被下拉,因此第2B圖中的開關T43會截止。工作電路280持續提供第一操作電壓VGH至第14級操作節點Q(14),使得第14級操作節點Q(14)由第二穩壓電壓VSSQ改變成第一操作電壓VGH。 In addition, from time T1 to time T2, since the switch T54 in FIG. 2A and the switch T56 in FIG. 2B are gradually turned on according to the voltage level of the 13th-level operation node Q (13), the 13th-level voltage stabilization node P ( 13) The pull-down switch T54 is pulled down and the fourteenth-stage regulated node P (14) is pulled down to the second regulated voltage VSSQ through the switch T56. In other words, the 13th-level voltage stabilization node P (13) and the 14th-level voltage stabilization node P (14) are changed from the first stabilized voltage V1 (for example, the high voltage level of the control signal LC1) to the second stabilized voltage VSSQ . Since the voltage level of the voltage regulator node P (14) at the 14th stage is pulled down, the switch T43 in FIG. 2B is turned off. The working circuit 280 continuously provides the first operation voltage VGH to the fourteenth stage operation node Q (14), so that the fourteenth stage operation node Q (14) is changed from the second stabilized voltage VSSQ to the first operation voltage VGH.

在時間T3,第13級時脈訊號HC(13)電壓位準轉為高電壓位準。此時,第13級移位暫存電路的開關T21依據位於第13級操作節點Q(13)的電壓位準導通。第13級時脈訊號HC(13)透過開關T21傳輸作為第13級輸出電壓G(13)。據此,第13級輸出電壓G(13)開始上升。另一方面,第13級輸出電壓G(13)會透過電容C1或其他寄生電容耦合至第13級操作節點Q(13)。因此,位於第13級操作節點Q(13)的電壓位準繼續上升。位於第13級操作節點Q(13)的電壓位準上升至電壓V2。 At time T3, the voltage level of the 13th-stage clock signal HC (13) is turned to a high voltage level. At this time, the switch T21 of the 13th-stage shift temporary storage circuit is turned on according to the voltage level of the 13th-stage operation node Q (13). The thirteenth stage clock signal HC (13) is transmitted through the switch T21 as the thirteenth stage output voltage G (13). Accordingly, the thirteenth stage output voltage G (13) starts to rise. On the other hand, the thirteenth stage output voltage G (13) is coupled to the thirteenth stage operation node Q (13) through the capacitor C1 or other parasitic capacitance. Therefore, the voltage level at the 13th-level operation node Q (13) continues to rise. The voltage level at the 13th-level operating node Q (13) rises to a voltage V2.

相似的,在時間T4,第14級時脈訊號HC(14)電壓位準轉為高電壓位準。此時,第14級移位暫存電路的開關T21依據位於第14級操作節點Q(14)的電壓位準導通。第14級時脈訊號HC(14)透過開關T21傳輸作為第14級輸出電壓 G(14)。據此,第14級輸出電壓G(14)開始上升。另一方面,第14級輸出電壓G(14)會透過電容C1或其他寄生電容耦合至第14級操作節點Q(14)。因此,位於第14級操作節點Q(14)的電壓位準繼續上升。位於第14級操作節點Q(14)的電壓位準上升至電壓V2。 Similarly, at time T4, the voltage level of the 14th-stage clock signal HC (14) is changed to a high voltage level. At this time, the switch T21 of the 14th stage shift temporary storage circuit is turned on according to the voltage level of the 14th stage operation node Q (14). The 14th stage clock signal HC (14) is transmitted as the 14th stage output voltage through switch T21. G (14). Accordingly, the 14th stage output voltage G (14) starts to rise. On the other hand, the 14th stage output voltage G (14) is coupled to the 14th stage operation node Q (14) through the capacitor C1 or other parasitic capacitance. Therefore, the voltage level of the operation node Q (14) at the 14th stage continues to rise. The voltage level at the 14th-level operation node Q (14) rises to a voltage V2.

在時間T5,第13級時脈訊號HC(13)電壓位準轉為低電壓位準。據此,藉由第13級移位暫存電路的開關T21,第13級輸出電壓G(13)開始下降。同時,藉由第13級移位暫存電路中的電容C1或其他寄生電容的耦合效應,位於第13級操作節點Q(13)的電壓位準相應地開始下降。 At time T5, the voltage level of the 13th-stage clock signal HC (13) is turned to a low voltage level. Accordingly, with the switch T21 of the 13th stage shift register circuit, the 13th stage output voltage G (13) starts to decrease. At the same time, due to the coupling effect of the capacitor C1 or other parasitic capacitance in the 13th stage shift register circuit, the voltage level at the 13th stage operation node Q (13) starts to decrease accordingly.

相似的,在時間T6,第14級時脈訊號HC(14)電壓位準轉為低電壓位準。據此,藉由第14級移位暫存電路的開關T21,第14級輸出電壓G(14)開始下降。同時,藉由第14級移位暫存電路中的電容C1或其他寄生電容的耦合效應,位於第14級操作節點Q(14)的電壓位準開始下降。另外,由於第16級移位暫存電路的開關T12依據位於第16級操作節點Q(16)的電壓位準導通,開關T12傳輸第16級時脈訊號HC(16)以作為第16級觸發訊號ST(16)。 Similarly, at time T6, the voltage level of the 14th-stage clock signal HC (14) is changed to a low voltage level. Accordingly, with the switch T21 of the 14th stage shift register circuit, the 14th stage output voltage G (14) starts to decrease. At the same time, due to the coupling effect of the capacitor C1 or other parasitic capacitances in the 14th stage shift register circuit, the voltage level at the 14th stage operation node Q (14) starts to decrease. In addition, because the switch T12 of the 16th stage shift temporary storage circuit is turned on according to the voltage level of the 16th stage operation node Q (16), the switch T12 transmits the 16th stage clock signal HC (16) as the 16th stage trigger Signal ST (16).

在時間T7,第17級時脈訊號HC(17)電壓位準轉為高電壓位準。據此,藉由第17級移位暫存電路的開關T21,第17級輸出電壓G(17)相應地提高。此時,第13級移位暫存電路中的開關T31依據第17級輸出電壓G(17)導通。據此,開關T31將第13級輸出電壓G(13)下拉至第三穩壓電壓VSSG。另外,由於第17級移位暫存電路的開關T12依據位於第17級操作 節點Q(17)的電壓位準導通,開關T12傳輸第17級時脈訊號HC(17)以作為第17級觸發訊號ST(17)。 At time T7, the voltage level of the 17th-stage clock signal HC (17) is turned to a high voltage level. Accordingly, by the switch T21 of the 17th stage shift register circuit, the 17th stage output voltage G (17) is increased accordingly. At this time, the switch T31 in the 13th stage shift temporary storage circuit is turned on according to the 17th stage output voltage G (17). Accordingly, the switch T31 pulls down the thirteenth stage output voltage G (13) to the third stabilized voltage VSSG. In addition, since the switch T12 of the 17th-stage shift register circuit operates at the 17th stage, The voltage level of the node Q (17) is turned on, and the switch T12 transmits the 17th stage clock signal HC (17) as the 17th stage trigger signal ST (17).

綜上所述,工作電路同時提供第一操作電壓至第一操作節點(例如:第n級操作節點)以及第二操作節點(例如:第n+k級操作節點)。如此,可降低第一輸出電壓(例如:第n級輸出電壓)以及第二輸出電壓(例如:第n+k級輸出電壓)的電壓差,進而降低兩級間亮暗線的問題。 In summary, the working circuit simultaneously provides the first operating voltage to the first operating node (eg, the n-th level operating node) and the second operating node (eg, the n + k-th level operating node). In this way, the voltage difference between the first output voltage (eg, the n-th stage output voltage) and the second output voltage (eg, the n + k-th stage output voltage) can be reduced, thereby reducing the problem of bright and dark lines between the two stages.
