    Abstract: A level shift circuit, control method thereof, a display device and a drive circuit thereof are provided. The level shift circuit includes a level shift sub-circuit and a detection sub-circuit. The detection sub-circuit is connected to a signal input end and the level shift sub-circuit, and is configured to detect whether the signals output by the signal output end meet the normal output condition or not. A feedback signal with a first level may be output to the level shift sub-circuit when signals output by the signal output end are detected not to meet the normal output condition. The level shift circuit may stop outputting the signals to the signal output end according to the feedback signal. By arranging the detection sub-circuit to detect whether the output signal meets the normal condition, the gate drive circuit may be effectively protected.
