Integrated gate driver circuit

Abstract:

A display device may include a plurality of rows of pixels configured to display image data on a display and a first gate driver circuit. The first gate driver circuit may couple a first voltage source to a first node associated with a first gate of a first switch upon receipt of a start signal or a gate signal from another gate driver circuit and couple a first clock signal to a first gate line via the first switch after a first voltage of the first node exceeds a threshold. The threshold is associated with activating the first switch, such that the first gate line is configured to couple to a first row of the plurality of rows of pixels. The first gate driver circuit may then couple a second voltage source to the first node based on a second clock signal, such that the second voltage source discharges the first node.
