  • Patent number: 11557359
    Abstract: A shift register and a gate driver circuit are provided. The shift register includes an input unit, an output unit, an electrostatic discharge unit and a reset unit. The input unit provides an input signal. The output unit is coupled to the input unit and a gate output terminal. The output unit outputs an output signal through the gate output terminal according to the input signal. The electrostatic discharge unit is coupled to the output unit. After the gate output terminal outputs the output signal, the electrostatic discharge unit pulls down a voltage of the gate output terminal according to a low gate voltage. The reset unit is coupled to the input unit and the output unit. After the electrostatic discharge unit pulls down the voltage of the gate output terminal, the reset unit resets a voltage of a bootstrap node.

  • Patent number: 8879035
    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device, a color-filter substrate, a thin-film-transistor substrate and a manufacturing method thereof. The thin-film-transistor substrate has a pixel array and transparent conductive material. The pixel array has a plurality of thin-film-transistor units, pixel electrodes and metal signal lines. The transparent conductive material is mounted on the pixel array with an insulating layer placed therebetween, and correspondingly covers an area containing the thin-film-transistor units and the metal signal lines. And voltage difference between the transparent conductive layer and a common electrode of the color-filter substrate is smaller than a threshold voltage of liquid crystal cell. Therefore, without enough voltage difference for driving, the liquid crystal material between the transparent conductive material and the common electrode can maintain at a vertical status to block lights, so as to replace the function of traditional black matrix.
