     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display, and in particular, to a gate drive circuit and a display device. 
     TECHNICAL BACKGROUND 
     With the development of display technology, active display devices, such as liquid crystal display (LCD) device and organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device, have been used more and more in various fields. 
     In a traditional active display device, a gate line is mainly driven by a driver chip externally attached to an array substrate. The driver chip can control gradual charging and discharging of the gate lines. However, at present, gate driver on array (GOA) technology has been applied more and more. According to the GOA technology, a gate drive circuit is formed on the array substrate, thereby realizing progressive scanning of gate lines. In this case, the gate drive circuit for replacing the traditional external driver chip can be formed in a peripheral region of the array substrate by means of the original manufacturing procedure of the array substrate. A bonding procedure of the driver chip can be omitted according to the GOA technology, whereby the productivity can be increased, the production cost can be reduced, and a width of a frame of the display device can be reduced. 
     However, in today&#39;s trend for smaller and lighter display device, the frame of the existing display device is still quite large, which can hardly meet the demand for narrow frame.

     In consecutive first scanning period and second scanning period, the shifting register outputs a primary drive signal into the first and the second followers.

In this case, therefore, one gate drive circuit according to the present disclosure can drive two gate lines.

In addition, the display in the present example is realized through an interlace driving mode, so that all gate drive circuits can be distributed evenly on both sides of the display area  10 , thereby reducing a width of each frame area  20 . 
     According to the present example, the display screen has a resolution of 1920×1080.

The specific circuit is basically the same as that shown in  FIG. 5 . The difference thereof lies in that to the latch thereof is connected a third primary clock signal line and to the NAND gate circuit thereof is connected a fourth clock signal line. For example, in the first gate drive circuit as shown in  FIG. 4 , the latch is connected to CK 1 _ 2  and the NAND gate circuit is connected to CK 1 _ 4  (see  FIG. 6 ). For another example, in the second gate drive circuit as shown in  FIG. 4 , the latch is connected to CK 1 _ 4 , and the NAND gate circuit is connected to CK 1 _ 2 . CK 1 _ 2  and CK 1 _ 4  both output pulse signals (see  FIG. 7 ) having a phase difference of 180°. The first follower and the second follower each comprise an NAND gate circuit and a buffer, specific components of which are basically the same as those shown in  FIG. 5 . The difference thereof lies in that to the first follower is connected a third secondary clock signal line CK 2 _ 3  and to the second follower is connected a fourth secondary clock signal line CK 2 _ 4 . 
     The operation of a display device according to the present example is as follows. 
     As shown in  FIG. 7 , the present example is illustrated with forward scanning, in which U2D outputs high level all the time and D2U outputs low level all the time, so that T 0  and T 1  in each shifting register are switched on, and T 2  and T 3  therein are shutoff. 
     The Reset first outputs low level pulse which switches T 6  of each shifting register on, with point P at high level, and which, after passing through an inverter comprising T 14  and T 16 , maintains second trigger signal Q(N) in each shifting register at low level. 
     First, STVF outputs first trigger signal Q( 0 ) to the first shifting register on a left side (and on a right side), so that T 9  in the latch can be switched on. When CK 1 _ 1  outputs high level, T 10  in the latch also is also switched on, so that point P is of low level. The first trigger signal passes through the inverter comprising T 14  and T 16 , and then outputs as second trigger signal Q( 1 ). In the case of reverse scanning, the first trigger signal is outputted from STVR. 
     Subsequently, in a first scanning period t 1  and a second scanning period t 2 , CK 1 _ 1  outputs low level and CK 1 _ 3  outputs high level. The low level outputted from CK 1 _ 1  passes through an inverter comprising T 13  and T 15 , so as to switch on T 11  in the latch. At the same time, Q( 1 ) switches T 12  in the latch on, so that point P can be maintained at low level, whereby Q( 1 ) can be outputted continuously. In the meantime, in the NAND gate circuit of the shifting register, T 41  and T 42  are switched on simultaneously. In other words, NAND operation is performed on CK 1 _ 3  and Q( 1 ), so as to output low level which, after passing through an inverter comprising T 37  and T 38 , is outputted as primary drive signal G( 1 ). In other moments, at least one of CK 1 _ 3  and G( 1 ) is of low level, so that at least one of T 39  and T 40  is switched on, but T 41  and T 42  cannot be switched on simultaneously. As a result, after NAND operation on CK 1 _ 3  and Q( 1 ), high level is outputted, therefore, it is impossible to output G( 1 ). 
     On the other hand, Q( 1 ) of the moment is further inputted into a second shifting register, as first trigger signal thereof. 
     In t 1 , CK 2 _ 1  outputs high level. In the NAND gate circuit of the first follower, T 21  and T 22  are switched on simultaneously, that is, NAND operation is performed using CK 2 _ 1  and G( 1 ), so that low level can be outputted. The buffer receives the low level, and outputs high level gate drive signal to the first gate line g 1 . 
     In t 2 , CK 2 _ 2  outputs high level. In the NAND gate circuit of the second follower, T 29  and T 30  are switched on simultaneously, that is, NAND operation is performed using CK 2 _ 2  and G( 1 ), so that low level can be outputted. The buffer receives the low level, and outputs high level gate drive signal to the second gate line g 2 . 
     In a third scanning period t 3  and a fourth scanning period t 4 , CK 1 _ 3  is of low level and the shifting register no longer outputs G( 1 ). As a result, the gate drive circuit outputs low level to g 1  and g 2 . 
     In each subsequent scanning period, Q( 1 ) and Q( 0 ) are of low level all the time, so that T 4  and T 8  are switched on. Since one of T 5  and T 7  is necessarily on (when CK 1 _ 1  is of high level, T 5  is on; and when CK 1 _ 1  is of low level, T 7  is on), point P can be locked at high level by the latch, so that Q( 1 ) is no longer outputted, whereby g 1  and g 2  are maintained at low level. 
     In a fifth scanning period t 5  and a sixth scanning period t 6 , the second gate drive circuit outputs gate drive signal respectively to a fifth gate line g 5  and a sixth gate line g 6 . As a result, all gate lines can be driven in the same manner. 
     Operation of each gate drive circuit on the right side of the display area is the same as that on the left side thereof, except being delayed for two scanning periods in sequence, thus will not be described in detail. 
     GOA technology is used in the display device according to the present disclosure in which gate drive circuits are formed in frame areas of the array substrate thereof through CMOS process. According to an example of the present disclosure, a gate drive circuit can drive two gate lines. In the meantime, with the interlace driving mode, the gate drive circuits can be evenly distributed on both sides of the display area. Therefore, in a length direction, one gate drive circuit is equivalent to four gate lines in size. As compared with the technical solution in the prior art of driving one gate line with one gate drive circuit, a size of the gate drive circuit according to an example of the present disclosure in the length direction is increased to four times the original size thereof, but a size thereof in a width direction is decreased to a quarter of the original size thereof, so that the GOA circuit in the frame area of the array substrate can be significantly reduced, whereby a width of the frame of the display device can be reduced. 
     The above embodiments are described only for better understanding, rather than restricting, the present disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can make amendments to the implementing forms or details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. The scope of the present disclosure should still be subjected to the scope defined in the claims.
