Abstract:
1. A gate driver for driving a display device in response to driving signals, comprising: a voltage level shift circuit which receives an output enable signal, a clock signal and a data signal, and which shifts a voltage level of the output enable signal, the clock signal and the data signal to output a voltage level shifted output enable signal, a voltage level shifted clock signal and a voltage level shifted data signal; an output circuit which receives the voltage level shifted data signal, the voltage level shifted clock signal and the voltage level shifted output enable signal, and which outputs the driving signals corresponding to the voltage level shifted data signal in response to the voltage level shifted output enable signal; wherein said output circuit outputs a plurality of the driving signals in parallel and comprises: a plurality of shift registers each of which stores the voltage level shifted data signal sequentially in response to the voltage level shifted clock signal, and each of which outputs the plurality of stored data signals in parallel; and a plurality of output drivers which outputs the driving signals corresponding to the stored data signals.
