  • Patent number: 7999783
    Abstract: An exemplary shift register (20) includes a plurality of shift register units (200) connected one by one. Each of the shift register units includes a first switch unit (201), a second switch unit (202), a third switch unit (203), a fourth switch unit (204), and a fifth switch unit (205). A signal input terminal of each shift register unit is coupled to an output terminal of a rear-stage shift register unit. A first clock input terminal receives a first clock signal to turn on/off the first and second switch units. The third switch unit receives a second clock signal. The fourth switch unit pulls up the output voltage of the output terminal according to a controlling signal from the first switch unit. The fifth switch unit pulls down the output voltage of the output terminal according to controlling signals from the second and third switch units.

    Abstract: A shift register includes individually connected shift register units. Each shift register unit includes a switching unit, a pre-charging unit, a pulse signal output unit, a low level voltage signal control unit, a first clock pulse signal input, a second clock pulse signal input, and an output. The first and the second clock pulse signal inputs respectively receive a first clock signal and a second clock signal, the first clock signal and the second clock signal having reverse clock pulses during each clock cycle. The switching unit receives at least one external starting signal and a high level signal, when the at least one external starting signal is high level, the switching unit is turned on and outputs the high level signal to the pre-charging unit. When the second clock signal is high level, the pre-charging unit receives the high level signal and charges, and when the first clock signal is high level, the pre-charging unit discharges.

  • Publication number: 20110007064
    Abstract: A gate line driving module used on a liquid crystal display uses clock signal sources in replacement of a high level gate power source, such that the phenomenon of device characteristic drift occurring in the foregoing related art is avoided. The gate line driving module includes a plurality of odd-pixel gate line driving circuits, a plurality of even-pixel gate line driving circuits, and an auxiliary gate line driving circuit. A pair of neighboring odd-pixel gate line driving circuit and even-pixel gate line driving circuit exchange output signals thereof with each other in a forward or feedback manner for ensuring that each the odd-pixel gate line driving circuit and each the even-pixel gate line driving circuit are driven once. The auxiliary gate line driving circuit is used for ensuring that signal iteration of the gate line driving module is under normal operation.

  • Publication number: 20090073105
    Abstract: An exemplary shift register includes a plurality of shift register units, each of which includes an output circuit, an input circuit, and a logic circuit. The output circuit includes a clock transistor, a voltage stabilizing transistor, and an input circuit for receiving signals output by a previous shift register unit. The logic circuit receives signals output by the input circuit. When the input circuit outputs signals to switch on the clock transistor, the logic circuit outputs a low level voltage signal to shut off the voltage stabilizing transistor. Thus, the output circuit outputs signals via the clock circuit. On the other hand, when the input circuit outputs signals to shut off the clock transistor, the logic circuit outputs a high level voltage signal to turn on the voltage stabilizing transistor, so as to maintain the output circuit to output low level voltage signal.
