Since Input is equal to 1, the sixth switching transistor T6 is turned on, the turned-on sixth switching transistor T6 turns on the first reference signal terminal Vref1 and the first node P1, further pulls the potential of the first node P1 high, and charges the first capacitor C1, since the potential of the first node P1 is pulled high, the third switching transistor T3, the eleventh switching transistor T11 and the twelfth switching transistor T12 are in a turned-on state, the turned-on third switching transistor T3 turns on the clock signal terminal CLK and the scan signal output terminal Out, and since CLK is equal to 0 at this time, the scan signal output terminal Out outputs a low level signal; the turned-on eleventh switching transistor T11 turns on the gate of the tenth switching transistor T10 with the second reference signal terminal Vref2, so that the tenth switching transistor T10 is in an off state; the turned-on twelfth switching transistor T12 turns on the second node P2 and the second reference signal terminal Vref2, and pulls down the potential of the second node P2. the stage t1 is a charging stage.
At stage t2, Input is 0, CLK is 1, Reset is 0, Vref1 is 1, and Vref2 is 0. Due to the bootstrap action of the first capacitor C1, the potential of the first node P1 is further raised, so that the third switching transistor T3 is still in a conducting state, and at this time CLK is equal to 1, so that the scan signal output terminal Out outputs a high level signal, and at the same time, the eleventh switching transistor T11 and the twelfth switching transistor T12 are still in a conducting state, so that the potential of the second node P2 continues to be pulled low. the stage t2 is a scan signal output stage.
At stage t3, Input is 0, CLK is 0, Reset is 1, Vref1 is 1, and Vref2 is 0. Since Reset is equal to 1, the seventh switching transistor T7 is turned on, and the turned-on seventh switching transistor T7 turns on the second reference signal terminal Vref2 and the first node P1, thereby pulling the potential of the first node P1 low; since the potential of the first node P1 is pulled low, the third switching transistor T3 is in an off state. At this time, since the potential of the first node P1 is pulled low, the eleventh switching transistor T11 is in an off state, and the gate and the source of the ninth switching transistor T9 are both connected to the first reference signal terminal Vref1, so the ninth switching transistor T9 is turned on, the turned-on ninth switching transistor T9 turns on the first reference signal terminal Vref1 and the gate of the tenth switching transistor T10, and at this time, the eleventh switching transistor T11 is in an off state, so the tenth switching transistor T10 is turned on under the control of the signal inputted from the first reference signal terminal Vref1, and further turns on the first reference signal terminal Vref1 and the second node P2, so the potential of the second node P2 is pulled high, at this time, since the potential of the second node P2 is pulled high, the fourth switching transistor T4 is turned on under the control of the second node P2, the turned-on fourth switching transistor T4 turns on the low level signal terminal VGL and the scan signal output terminal Out, therefore, the scanning signal output end Out outputs a low level signal, and the noise of the scanning signal output end Out is eliminated; meanwhile, the eighth switching transistor T8 is turned on under the control of the second node P2, and the turned-on eighth switching transistor T8 turns on the second reference signal terminal Vref2 and the first node P1, further pulling down the potential of the first node P1, and eliminating the noise of the first node P1. the t3 phase is a non-scan signal output phase.
In the subsequent time period, the scan signal output end Out will output a low level signal until a signal Input end inputs a high level signal again in a certain time period, and the shift register will repeat the above work process.
The above is a normal working process when the shift register has no external static electricity, when the signal Input terminal Input has external static electricity, due to the capacitive coupling principle, a coupling capacitance may be generated between the signal Input terminal Input and the gate of the first switch transistor T1, thereby causing the potential of the gate of the first switch transistor T1 to rise, so that the first switch transistor T1 is in a conducting state, the conducting first switch transistor T1 conducts the signal Input terminal Input and the second reference signal terminal Vref2, thereby causing a large electrostatic current introduced by the signal Input terminal Input to be discharged through the second reference signal terminal Vref2, preventing static electricity from being output to the inside of the display panel through the shift register, and affecting the normal display of the display panel. Similarly, when external static electricity is introduced into the scan signal output terminal Out, due to the capacitive coupling principle, a coupling capacitance may be generated between the scan signal output terminal Out and the gate of the second switch transistor T2, which further causes the potential of the gate of the second switch transistor T2 to increase, so that the second switch transistor T2 is in a conducting state, the conducting second switch transistor T2 conducts the scan signal output terminal Out and the second reference signal terminal Vref2, thereby discharging a large electrostatic current introduced by the scan signal output terminal Out through the second reference signal terminal Vref2, preventing static electricity from being output to the inside of the display panel through the shift register, and affecting normal display of the display panel.
