Abstract

See full text

A shift register has a first switch, a pull-up circuit, and a pull-down circuit. The first switch receives a first clock signal. The pull-up circuit is configured to turn on the first switch to pull up a voltage level of an output terminal of the shift register. The pull-up circuit has a second switch and a first control circuit. The first control circuit is coupled to a first system power terminal to avoid an excessive voltage difference between two nodes of the first control circuit. The pull-down circuit is configured to pull down the voltage level of the output terminal of the shift register when the first switch is turned off, and further configured to keep a voltage level of a control node of a switch coupled between the output terminal and a second system power terminal at a low voltage.
