Abstract:
1. A stage circuit comprising: a progressive driver comprising a first transistor coupled between a first power source and an output terminal of the stage circuit, a gate electrode of the first transistor being directly coupled to a first input terminal of the stage circuit; a second transistor coupled between the output terminal and a second input terminal of the stage circuit, a gate electrode of the second transistor being coupled to a first node; a third transistor coupled between the first node and a third input terminal of the stage circuit, a gate electrode of the third transistor being coupled to the first input terminal; a fourth transistor coupled between the first power source and the first node, a gate electrode of the fourth transistor being coupled to a fourth input terminal of the stage circuit; and a first capacitor coupled between the first node and the output terminal; and a concurrent driver comprising a fifth transistor coupled between the output terminal and a fifth input terminal of the stage circuit, a gate electrode of the fifth transistor being coupled to a second node.
