Abstract: A flat panel display including a glass substrate, a source driving unit and a gate driving unit is provided. An nth shift register of the gate driving unit includes a pull-up unit, a driving unit, a pull-down unit and a driving control unit. When the driving unit turns on the pull-up unit according to a trigger signal and the pull-up unit enables an output terminal to output an nth output signal according to a first clock signal, the driving control unit turns off the pull-down unit. The trigger signal is an (n?1)th output signal or a start signal. Afterwards, the driving control unit provides a DC level voltage according to a second clock signal to drive the pull-down unit, and the pull-down unit enables the output terminal to output a low level voltage. The DC level voltage is between a high level voltage of the nth output signal and the low level voltage.
