Currently, active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) has got a rapid development, and a technology of gate driver on array (GOA) also has got a lot of progress.
Due to self-luminous characteristic of AMOLED, two kinds of GOAs are needed. One kind of GOA is a Gate GOA, which controls on/off of gate lines respectively connected with each row of pixels.

However, the inventor finds that, the Emission GOA in the prior art cannot output a stable low level, thus light emission of the pixels is unstable, and due to influence of clock signals, dithering phenomenon may occur in the output low level, resulting in descending of display quality.

In the first period t1, the low level signal is inputted from the signal input terminal INPUT, the low level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the high level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB, the first transistor T1 is turned on, since the low level signal is inputted from the signal input terminal INPUT, the potential of the first node N1 connecting the second electrode of the first transistor T1 and the control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is the low level, so that the second transistor T2 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, at this time, at this time, since the high level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB, the potential of the third node N3 connecting the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 and the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is the high level, further since the low level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the third transistor T3 is also turned on, the potential of the second node N2 connecting the second electrode of the third transistor T3, the control electrode of the fourth transistor T4 and the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is the low level, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on; since the high level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB, the seventh transistor T7 is turned off, further since the second node N2 is at a low level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the third node N3 is at a high level, since the third node N3 is at a high level, the eighth transistor T8 and the tenth transistor T10 are turned off; since the first clock signal input terminal CK inputs the low level, the ninth transistor T9 is turned on, the potential of the fourth node N4 connecting the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8, the first electrode of the ninth transistor T9, the control electrode of the eleventh transistor T11, the second terminal of the third capacitor C3 and the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is the low level, thus the eleventh transistor T11 is turned on, further since the first electrode of the eleventh transistor T11 is connected with the low level signal, the signal output terminal OUTPUT outputs the low level.
In the second period t2, the high level signal is inputted from the signal input terminal INPUT, the low level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB, the high level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, at this time, the first transistor Ti and the third transistor T3 are turned off, due to the maintaining function of the first capacitor C1, at this time, the first node N1 is still at a low level, since the low level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB, due to the coupling function of the first capacitor C1, the potential of the first node N1 is lower at this time, thus the potential of the third node N3 is pulled down, and the second transistor T2 is turned on, since the high level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the potential of the second node N2 is pulled up, so that the fourth transistor T4 is turned off, the third node N3 is maintained to be the low level inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB, the eighth transistor T8 and the tenth transistor T10 are turned on at this time, due to the coupling effect of the third capacitor C3, the potential of the fourth node N4 is pulled down instantaneously, but since the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, the potential of the fourth node N4 becomes high level immediately after being pulled down instantaneously, thus the eleventh transistor T11 is turned off, the tenth transistor T10 is turned on, and the signal output terminal OUTPUT outputs the high level.
In the third period t3, the high level signal is inputted from the signal input terminal INPUT, the high level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB and the low level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the first transistor T1 is turned on, since the high level signal is inputted from the signal input terminal INPUT, the first node N1 is at a high level, so that the second transistor T2 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned off, since the low level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the third transistor T3 is thus turned on, the second node N2 is at a low level, thereby the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the third node N3 is at a high level, since the third node N3 is at a high level, the eighth transistor T8 and the tenth transistor T10 are turned off, due to the coupling effect of the third capacitor C3 and the maintaining function of the fourth capacitor C4, the potential of the fourth node N4 becomes high level instantaneously and then is maintained to be the high level, so that the eleventh transistor T1 is turned off, the output is maintained to be the high level, but since the low level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the ninth transistor T9 is turned on, due to the effects of the third capacitor C3 and the fourth capacitor C4, the fourth node N4 discharges, thereby although the output is the high level, the voltage thereof is lowered.
In the fourth period t4, the high level signal is inputted from the signal input terminal INPUT, the low level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB and the high level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, at this time, the first transistor Ti and the third transistor T3 are turned off, the first node N1 is at a high level, and the second transistor T2 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned off; due to the maintaining function of the second capacitor C2, the second node N2 is at a low level, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, and since the low level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, thereby the first node N1 is maintained at a high level, the third node N3 is not affected by the signal inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB and is maintained to be the high level, meanwhile since the second node N2 is at a low level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the third node N3 is still at a high level, the eighth transistor T8 and the tenth transistor T10 are turned off; since the high level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the ninth transistor T9 is turned off, and since the low level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB, due to the coupling effect of the third capacitor C3, the potential of the fourth node N4 is pulled down to be the low level, when the high level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the potential of the fourth node N4 is lowered by means of the third capacitor C3 receiving the signal inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB, so that the output of the signal output terminal OUTPUT is stable and is not affected by the signal inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the eleventh transistor T11 is turned on, and the signal output terminal OUTPUT outputs a stable low level.
In the fifth period t5, the high level signal is inputted from the signal input terminal INPUT, the high level signal is inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB and the low level signal is inputted from the first clock signal input terminal CK, the first transistor T1 is turned on, since the high level signal is inputted from the signal input terminal INPUT, the first node N1 is at a high level, so that the second transistor T2 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned off, the third transistor T3 is turned on, and the second node N 2 is at a low level, thereby the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the third node N3 is at a high level, and the eighth transistor T8 and the tenth transistor T10 are turned off, since the low level of the third node N3 at the last moment is maintained by the fourth capacitor C4, at this time, due to the coupling effect of the third capacitor C3, the potential of the fourth node N4 is pulled up instantaneously, but since the ninth transistor T9 is turned on, the fourth node N4 is reset to be the low level, thus the eleventh transistor T11 is turned on, and the signal output terminal OUTPUT outputs the low level.
It can be seen that, starting from the fourth period t4, no matter the signal inputted from the second clock signal input terminal CKB is the low level or the high level, due to the usage of the third capacitor C3 and the fourth capacitor C4, the output of the signal output terminal OUTPUT is not affected by the clock signals, and is a stable low level.
