## Abstract

A shift register circuit includes a first pull-down control circuit, a first pull-down circuit electrically connecting to the first pull-down control circuit, a first inversed pulse signal coupling circuit outputting a first inversed pulse signal, a first pull-up circuit outputting a first gate control signal, and a first main pull-down circuit electrically connecting to the first pull-up circuit. The first pull-up circuit receives a first driving signal and a first pulse signal to output the first gate control signal. The first inversed pulse signal coupling circuit duly outputs the first inversed pulse signal to compensate a surge occurring in the first driving signal.
