A gate driver and a display device including the gate driver are provided which can prevent an abnormal output of a gate-high voltage from a stage by stably maintaining a discharge potential of a pull-up node. The gate driver includes a plurality of stages, and each stage includes a pull-up transistor that outputs a clock signal input to a first clock terminal to an output terminal depending on a voltage of a pull-up node; a pull-down transistor that outputs a first source voltage input to a first source voltage terminal to the output terminal depending on a voltage of a pull-down node; and a first noise removing unit that supplies a gate-off voltage to the pull-up node to remove noise of the pull-up node in response to the clock signal input to the first clock terminal.

Gate driver and display device including the same

A display panel and a method of driving the same are disclosed. The display panel includes a shift register with a plurality of stages configured to shift and to output a scan pulse for a plurality of scan lines. Each stage includes a pull-up transistor and a pull-down transistor coupled in series and defining an output node therebetween, a driver with a first node coupled to a gate electrode of the pull-up transistor and a second node coupled to a gate electrode of the pull-down transistor; and a node controller coupled to the first node, the second node, and the output node. In each stage, the node controller is configured to selectively apply a reference voltage at the first node and the second node in response to a control signal.
