The shift register unit as shown in FIG. 2 comprises the input module 201, the reset module 202, the output module 203, the pull-down control module 204 and the pull-down module 205.
In particular, the input module 201 comprises:

According to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a shift register unit, and its structure is as shown in FIG. 3. It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the shift register unit also comprises the input module 201, the reset module 202, the output module 203, the pull-down control module 204 and the pull-down module 205. The shift register unit as shown in FIG. 3 differs from the shift register unit as shown in FIG. 2 in:
in the shift register unit as shown in FIG. 3, the pull-down control module 204 further comprises a second capacitor C2 connected between the second node P2 and the power supply negative voltage terminal VGL, is configured to keep a high potential after an output of the output terminal OUTPUT; if there is no the second capacitor C2, the shift register unit as shown in FIG. 2 can also keep the high potential depending on a parasitic capacitor of the thin film transistor. However, there is a leakage current in the fifth thin film transistor T5 and the sixth thin film transistor T6, which will cause the second node P2 to discharge, thereby producing noise and making certain affect on the output of the signal; on the contrary, after the second capacitor C2 is set in the circuit, since there is C1 that can keep the high potential after the output of the output terminal OUTPUT, the existence of the second capacitor C2 can greatly reduce the noise at the second node P2.
The above shift register units are connected in cascade to form an array substrate gate driving circuit. According to a third embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a gate driving circuit, comprising respective stages of the shift register units connected in cascade, wherein an input signal terminal of a first stage of shift register unit is connected to a start signal terminal, and a reset signal terminal thereof is connected to an output terminal of a second stage of shift register unit; an input signal terminal of a last stage of shift register unit is connected to an output terminal of a previous stage of shift register unit, and a reset signal terminal thereof is connected to the start signal terminal.
Except for the first and the last stages of shift register units, an input signal terminal of each of the remaining stages of shift register units is connected to the output terminal of the previous stage of shift register unit, and a reset signal terminal thereof is connected to the output terminal of next stage of shift register unit;
All the shift register units connected in cascade are the shift register unit as shown in FIG. 2 or the shift register unit as shown in FIG. 3.
In particular, the array substrate gate driving circuit comprises N stages, N being the number of gate lines. Referring to FIG. 4, the start signal STV is inputted to the first stage of shift register unit as an input signal, the gate driving signal is sequentially outputted to the gate lines, and the input signal of the n-th stage is provided by the output signal of the (n−1)-th stage, wherein n<N.
FIG. 5 is a timing diagram of respective signal terminals of an shift register unit according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. The operating method of the n-th (n<N, N is the number of stages of the array substrate gate circuit) stage of shift register unit in the array substrate gate driving circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below in combination with FIG. 5, wherein all the shift register units are the shift register unit as shown in FIG. 2, and all the TFTs are turned on at a high level and turned off at a low level.
When the gate driving circuit scans forward, the first voltage signal is a high level signal VDD, and the second voltage signal is a low level signal VSS.
First stage S1: the first clock signal CK is at the low level, the second clock signal CKB is at the high level, the output signal OUTPUT(n−1) of the previous stage as the input signal is at the high level, and the output signal OUTPUT(n+1) of the next stage as the reset signal is at the low level; the output signal OUTPUT(n−1) at the high level makes the transistor T1 turned on, and the first voltage signal charges the firs node P1, so that the first node P1 is at the high level. At this time, a gate switch of the third thin film transistor T3 is switched on, and the output terminal OUTPUT(n) outputs the low voltage.
At the same time, the second clock signal CKB at the high level makes the fourth thin film transistor T4 turned on, and charges the second node P2 through the fourth thin film transistor T4; however, since the fifth thin film transistor T5 in response to the voltage at the first node P1 is also in a turn-on state, the second node P2 will discharge through the fifth thin film transistor T5, and at this time, the second node P2 is at the low level.
Second stage S2: the first clock signal CK is at the high level, the second clock signal CKB is at the low level, the output signal OUTPUT(n−1) of the previous stage as the input signal is at the low level and the output signal OUTPUT(n+1) of the next stage as the reset signal is at the low level.
Since the first node P1 is at the high level, the third thin film transistor T3 is in a turn-on stage, and at the same time, the CK is at the high level; due to the bootstrap effect of the first capacitor C1, the voltage at the first node P1 continues to rise, T3 continues to be turned on, the first node P1 is further pulled up, and the OUTPUT(n) outputs the high level.
At the same time, the sixth thin film transistor T6 in response to the voltage at the output terminal is also turned on, the fifth thin film transistor T5 and the sixth thin film transistor T6 simultaneously discharge the second node P2, and at this time, the voltage at the second node P2 is further reduced, and the seventh thin film transistor T7 and the eighth thin film transistor T8 in response to the voltage at the second node P2 are turned off.
Third stage S3: the first clock signal CK is at the low level, the second clock signal CKB is at the high level, the output signal OUTPUT(n−1) of the previous stage as the input signal is at the low level, and output signal OUTPUT(n+1) of the next stage as the reset signal is at the high level; the second thin film transistor T2 is turned on and provides the second voltage signal VSS to the first node P1, and thus the first node P1 is rapidly reduced to the low level and the third thin film transistor T3 and the fifth thin film transistor T5 in response to the voltage at the first node are turned off; the second node P2 provides the high level for the second clock signal, and at this time, the seventh thin film transistor T7 and the eighth thin film transistor T8 are turned on to discharge the two terminals of the first capacitor C1, i.e., quickly discharging the output terminal OUTPUT(n) to make the output at the low level, and at this time, the sixth thin film transistor T6 is turned on, thereby realizing the reset function.
When the gate driving circuit scans backwards, the first voltage signal is the low level signal VSS, the second voltage signal is the high level signal VDD, the INPUT terminal is taken as the reset signal terminal, and the RESET terminal is taken as the input signal terminal.
The input signal terminal of the last stage of shift register unit is connected to the start signal terminal, and the reset signal terminal thereof is connected to the output terminal of the previous stage of the shift register unit.
Except for the first and the last stages of the shift register units, the input signal terminal of the n-th stage of shift register unit is connected to the output terminal of the (n+1)-th stage of shift register unit. At the same time, the reset signal terminal of the n-th stage of shift register unit is connected to the output terminal of the (n−1)-th stage of shift register unit.
The operation principle when scanning backwards is the same as that of the scanning forward, and thus the description is not repeated herein.
When the shift register unit in the gate driving circuit is the shift register unit as shown in FIG. 3, its operating principle is the same as the operation principle of the gate driving circuit composed by the shift register units as shown in FIG. 2. Referring to FIG. 6, P2(2) in FIG. 6 represents the timing diagram of the second node when the gate driving circuit composed by the shift register units as shown in FIG. 2, and P2(3) represents the timing diagram of the second node when the gate driving circuit composed by the shift register units as shown in FIG. 3. It can be seen from FIG. 6 that, there is the second capacitor C2 set in the shift register unit as shown in FIG. 3, and the second capacitor C2 can keep the high potential at the second node P2, can decrease the affect of the leakage current existing in the fifth thin film transistor T5 and the sixth thin film transistor T6 and reduce the noise at the second node, and therefore after the capacitor C2 is added, the high level potential at the second node P2 will be more stable, thereby further enhancing the stability of the shift register unit.
To sum up, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide the shift register unit and the gate driving circuit. The shift register unit comprises: the input module, the reset module, the output module, the pull-down control module and the pull-down module, wherein the input module is connected the input signal and is configured to provide the first voltage signal to the output terminal in response to the input signal; the reset module is connected to the reset signal terminal and is configured to provide the second voltage signal to the first node as the output terminal of the input module in the input module in response to the reset signal; the output module provides the first clock signal to the output terminal in response to the voltage at the first node; the pull-down control module provides the second clock signal to the second node of the pull-down control unit in response to the second clock signal, and provides the power supply negative voltage to the second node in response to the voltage at the first node or the voltage at the output terminal; the pull-down module provides the power supply negative voltage to the first node and the output terminal in response to the voltage at the second node. The shift register unit uses a small number of thin film transistors and adopts the direct current pull-down mode to suppress the interference noise due to the change of the alternative current clock signal and realize the signal transmitting function and the noise reducing function of the shift register unit. At the same time, the wiring space is saved because of the use of a small number of thin film transistors, which is useful to reduce the size of the shift register unit, so as to reduce the volume of the whole liquid crystal display.
