    Abstract: A shift register driving a touch display device generates shifted pulse signals shifted by a specified phase. The shift register includes unit circuits connected in multiple stages. Each unit circuit includes an output terminal, an input transistor, an output transistor, and a pull-up transistor. The input transistor is controlled by a first control signal and outputs a high-level voltage to a first node based on the value of a trigger signal. The output transistor outputs the shifted pulse signal, which is synchronous with a clock control signal, based on the value of the high-level voltage of the first node. A blank period is inserted between the Nth unit circuit and the (N+1)th unit circuit. After the blank period, the pull-up transistor clamps the voltage of the output terminal of the (N+1)th unit circuit at a high-level voltage.
