A shift register and a gate driver circuit are provided. The shift register includes an input unit, an output unit, an electrostatic discharge unit and a reset unit. The input unit provides an input signal. The output unit is coupled to the input unit and a gate output terminal. The output unit outputs an output signal through the gate output terminal according to the input signal. The electrostatic discharge unit is coupled to the output unit. After the gate output terminal outputs the output signal, the electrostatic discharge unit pulls down a voltage of the gate output terminal according to a low gate voltage. The reset unit is coupled to the input unit and the output unit. After the electrostatic discharge unit pulls down the voltage of the gate output terminal, the reset unit resets a voltage of a bootstrap node.

Shift register and gate driver circuit

A pixel array includes first signal lines, second signal lines, active components, pixel electrodes, and selection lines. The second signal lines are intersected with and electrically insulated to the first signal lines. Each active component is electrically connected to one of the first signal lines and one of the second signal lines. Each pixel electrode is electrically connected to one of the active components. The selection lines are intersected with the first signal lines to form a plurality of first intersections and second intersections. The selection lines are electrically connected to the first signal lines at the first intersections but electrically insulated to the first signal lines at second intersections. The selection lines are electrically insulated to the second signal lines. At least one of the second signal lines is disposed between each selection line and any one of the active components.

Pixel array

A conductive structure includes a first wire, a second wire, and a conductive pillar. The second wire is disposed over the first wire and intersected with the first wire. The conductive pillar is disposed between the first wire and the second wire. A bottom surface area of the conductive pillar is greater than an area at which the first wire overlaps the conductive pillar.

Conductive structure, circuit, and display device

A display apparatus including a display panel and a driver circuit is provided. The display panel includes a display region and a non-display region. The non-display region includes a plurality of dummy pixels connected to one another. The driver circuit provides gate driving voltages and a test data voltage, so as to make the dummy pixels connected to one another generate a charging rate test signal in response to the test data voltage.

Display apparatus

A display device includes a first display unit, a first selecting switch, a first block switch, a first selecting gate line, a second display unit, a second selecting switch, a second block switch, a second selecting gate line, and a block gate line. The first selecting gate line is configured to provide a first selecting gate signal to a control end of the first selecting switch. The second selecting gate line is configured to provide a second selecting gate signal to a control end of the second selecting switch. The block gate line is configured to provide a block gate signal to a control end of the first block switch and a control end of the second block switch.
