SHIFT REGISTER AND FLAT PANEL DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides a shift register with a reduced area and a flat panel display device including the same. The shift register according to the present invention includes a plurality of stages that supply a gate-on voltage pulse to each of a plurality of gate lines formed in a display panel. Each of the stages includes: a pull-up transistor configured to supply one of a plurality of clock signals to an output node according to a voltage of a first node; a pull-down transistor configured to supply a gate-off voltage to the output node according to a voltage of a second node; a node controller configured to control the voltages of the first and second nodes on the basis of a gate start signal; and a switching unit connected to at least two gate lines adjacent to the output node, and configured to sequentially supply gate-on voltage pulses having different pulse widths to the at least two adjacent gate lines using the clock signal supplied to the output node.
