Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a shift register unit, a gate driving circuit with bi-directional scan, and a display apparatus. The shift register unit comprises: an input module configured to provide a first input signal to a first node; a first control module configured to provide a pull-up output based on the first input signal and the third clock signal, and then provide a pull-down output; and a second control module configured to maintain a level at the output node at the source voltage based on a fourth clock signal. The first control module comprises a first transistor that remains on after the pull-up output to provide the pull-down output, and the second control module comprises a second transistor that maintains the level at the output node. The shift register unit according to the embodiment of the present disclosure achieves bi-directional scan with a simple design, which is beneficial for wiring in display panels with narrow rims and high resolutions. Further, since the second transistor is provided only for pull-down maintenance, a transistor of a small size can be used to further reduce the size of the circuit.
