Gate driving apparatus and display device including the same

摘要

Provided are a gate driving apparatus and a display device including the same. The gate driving apparatus includes a plurality of stages arranged sequentially, each stage is adapted to output a gate signal and including first output lines and a second output line, wherein the first output lines are electrically connected to a gate line corresponding to each of the stages and are adapted to transmit the gate signal to a plurality of pixels coupled to the gate line, the second output line is adapted to transmit the gate signal to a preceding stage of each of the stages, and the first output lines and the second output line share one contact pad.

1. A gate driving apparatus comprising:
a plurality of stages arranged sequentially, each stage adapted to output a gate signal and comprising first output lines and a second output line, wherein the first output lines are electrically connected to a gate line corresponding to each of the stages, are adapted to transmit the gate signal to a plurality of pixels coupled to the gate line, and are adapted to transmit the gate signal to a reset terminal of a subsequent stage of each of the stages, and the second output line is adapted to transmit the gate signal to a set terminal of a preceding stage of each of the stages, wherein the first output lines and the second output line are electrically connected with a contact pad unit, wherein the contact pad unit comprises a first bridge region and a second bridge region, each including one or more pairs of contact pads which are electrically connected by a bridge structure, and wherein the first output lines and the second output line are configured to transmit the gate signal of the current stage.
