The shift register uses the first clock signal to control the second node, and then controls the signal output by the signal output terminal by alternate high/low levels of the second node and the second clock signal, such that the signal output terminal can always output signals to eliminate noises and stabilize row output signals. In addition, since the second node has alternate high/low levels, the life span of the shift register can be protected.
