• and
• switch unit groups arranged between each adjacent two shift register units, and the switch unit group comprising:
• a first switch unit connected to an output terminal of the shift register unit of a previous stage and an input terminal of the shift register unit of an adjacent next stage, to turn on the output terminal of the shift register unit of the previous stage and the input terminal of the shift register unit of the adjacent next stage in response to a control signal;
• and
• a second switch unit connected to an output terminal of the shift register unit of a previous stage and an output terminal of the shift register unit of an adjacent next stage, to turn on the output terminal of the shift register unit of the previous stage and the output terminal of the shift register unit of the adjacent next stage in response to a control signal, wherein the first switch unit and the second switch unit are turned on selectively during a driving period, wherein the gate driving circuit further comprises:
• a first power supply terminal;
• and
• a plurality of third switch units, arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the shift register units, and the third switch unit is connected to the first power supply terminal, the output terminal of the shift register unit, and at least one enable signal line, for transmitting the first power supply terminal to the at least one enable signal line in response to a signal from the output terminal of the shift register unit,
• wherein the at least one enable signal line is used to provide the enable signal to one row of pixel units;
• and
• in a driving period, selectively turning on a first switch unit or a second switch unit in one switch unit group under action of different control signal terminals;
• and in a driving period, selectively turning on a first switch unit or a second switch unit in one switch unit group under action of different control signal terminals.
