Abstract
An exemplary shift register is adapted for receiving a preceding-stage output signal to generate a preceding-stage supply signal and outputting an input signal as an extreme value of a current-stage output signal according to the preceding-stage supply signal. The shift register includes an active controller, a voltage boosting circuit and an output circuit. The active controller receives the preceding-stage output signal and thereby produces an active control signal. The voltage boosting circuit receives a first operating voltage, the preceding-stage supply signal and the active control signal, and uses a capacitive coupling effect to change the voltage value of the preceding-stage supply signal and thereby generates an output control signal. The output circuit is electrically coupled to the voltage boosting circuit, the active controller and the input signal and determines the time of outputting the input signal as the extreme value according to the output control signal.
