Abstract

A shift register circuit, including: a plurality of clock signal lines each supplying a plurality of clock pulses respectively; phases of the plurality of clock pulses are different from each other, and a plurality of cascade-connected register circuits including a top register circuit, a bottom register circuit, and main register circuits are provided between the top register circuit and the bottom register circuit. Each of the plurality of cascade-connected register circuits includes a set terminal, a reset terminal, a first node, a second node, a second node reset terminal, an output part, a second output part, a first node set part, a second node set part, a first node control part, and a second node control part.

Claims (21)

1 . A shift register circuit comprising:

a plurality of clock signal lines each supplying a plurality of clock pulses respectively, phases of the plurality of clock pulses are different each other; and

a plurality of cascade-connected register circuits including a top register circuit, a bottom register circuit, and main register circuits providing between the top register circuit and the bottom register circuit, wherein

each of the plurality of cascade-connected register circuits includes:

a set terminal;

a reset terminal;

a first node;

a second node;

a second node reset terminal;

an output part which outputs a clock pulse of the plurality of clock pulses supplied by one of the plurality of clock signal lines when a voltage of the first node is an active level;

a second output part which output a non-active level voltage when a voltage of the second node is the active level;

a first node set part which sets a voltage of the first node to the active level when a set signal is input into the set terminal;

a second node set part which sets a voltage of the second node to the active level when another clock pulse of the plurality of clock pulses supplied by another one of the plurality of clock signal lines is input into the reset terminal;

a first node control part which sets the first node to the non-active level when a voltage of the second node is the active level; and

a second node control part which sets the second node to the non-active level when a voltage of the first node is the active level.

2 . The shift register circuit according to claim 1 , further comprising a second node reset part which sets the second node to the non-active level when a voltage of the second node reset terminal is the active level.

3 . The shift register circuit according to claim 1 , wherein

the first node of one of the main register circuit is set by an output pulse from previous stage, and

the first node of the one of the main register circuit is reset by the output pulse from subsequent stage.

4 . The shift register circuit according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of clock signal lines includes four-clock signal lines.
