Abstract

A display panel, a gate driver and a control method are disclosed herein. The gate driver includes series-coupled driving stages. One of the driving stages includes an input unit and a shift register circuit. The input unit outputs a shift signal to a control node according to a gate driving signal from the previous driving stage and the gate driving signal from the next driving stage. The shift register circuit is electrically coupled to the control node, and outputs the gate driving signal. During the enabling period of the gate driving signal from the previous driving stage and the enabling period of the gate driving signal from the current driving stage, the shift register circuit keeps the voltage level of the control node being at a first voltage.
