Claim:
1. A gate driver, comprising N shift register units, each of which being connected with respective one of N gate lines of a display panel, wherein the gate driver comprises a plurality of gate units, and while a gate unit is enabled, the gate unit is configured to provide a current gate line with an output signal of a corresponding shift register unit connected to a preceding gate line and/or an output signal of a corresponding shift register unit connected to a succeeding gate line instead of an output signal of a corresponding shift register unit connected to the current gate line, N being an integer greater than 2, wherein the gate driver comprises (N−2) gate units, an h-th of the gate units disposed between an h-th shift register unit and an (h+2)-th shift register unit, a first end of the h-th gate unit is connected with an output signal end of the h-th shift register unit, a second end of the h-th gate unit is connected with an output signal end of the (h+2)-th shift register unit, and a third end of the h-th gate unit is connected with an (h+1)-th gate line; and the h-th gate unit, when enabled, provides the (h+1)-th gate line, sequentially with output signals of the h-th shift register unit and the (h+2)-th shift register unit, wherein h=1 2,3, . . . , (N−2).
