Abstract

A gates-line driving circuit of a display device includes a plurality of stages that are serially connected to each other, where each stage includes a plurality of transistors and a plurality of capacitors and receives a scanning start signal, a plurality of clock signals, and first and second gate-off voltages Voff 1 and Voff 2 of different magnitudes, where some of the transistors are turned off with the first gate-off voltage, and others of the transistors are turned off with the second gate-off voltage.

Claims (17)

1. A driving apparatus of a display device comprising a plurality of stages connected to each other, wherein one of the plurality of stages comprises:

an output terminal for outputting a gate output signal;

a first transistor providing the gate output signal to the output terminal, wherein the first transistor is connected to a clock terminal and includes a gate terminal connected to a first node;

a first signal line transmitting a first gate-off voltage, electrically connected to a second node;

a second signal line transmitting a second gate-off voltage, electrically connected to the first node;

a second transistor providing the second gate-off voltage to the first node, wherein the second transistor is connected to the second signal line and includes a gate terminal connected to the second node;

a third transistor providing the first gate-off voltage to the second node, wherein the third transistor is connected to the first signal line and includes a gate terminal connected to the first node.

2. The driving apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the stage further comprises a fourth transistor providing the second gate-off voltage to the first node, connected to the second signal line and includes a gate terminal connected to a reset terminal.

3. The driving apparatus of claim 2 ,

wherein the reset terminal provides a next stage gate output signal to the gate terminal of the fourth transistor.

4. The driving apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second gate-off voltage is lower than the first gate-off voltage.

5. The driving apparatus of claim 4 , wherein

the stage further comprises a first gate voltage terminal for inputting the first gate-off voltage and a second gate voltage terminal for inputting the second gate-off voltage.

6. The driving apparatus of claim 5 , wherein

the stage further comprises a set terminal for inputting a previous-stage gate output signal, and first and second clock terminals for inputting first and second clock signals, respectively.

7. The driving apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the stage is integrated in the display device.
