  • Patent number: 11823639
    Abstract: Disclosed are a driving circuit, a multi-stage driving circuit and a display panel. The driving circuit includes an input circuit, a pull-down circuit and an output circuit. The output circuit includes at least two sub-output circuits, the control terminals of the two adjacent sub-output circuits are connected through at least one isolation switch. Each sub-output circuit receives a control signal and a corresponding input signal output by the input circuit and outputs a corresponding output signal. An output terminal of each sub-output circuit is connected with the pull-down circuit and receives a pull-down signal. By arranging the isolating switch between the adjacent sub-output circuits, the mutual influence between the sub-output circuits is reduced, the problem that the output signal is abnormal is solved, the output signal is more stable on the basis of narrowing the frame of a display, and the competitiveness of the display is improved.
