The buffer 120 comprises a first inverter 12 and a second inverter 13 sequentially coupled in series, and an input end of the first inverter 12 is coupled to the second source S2 to receive the output signal of the clock signal output control circuit 110. The first inverter 12 is employed to invert the output signal of the clock signal output control circuit 110. The second inverter 13 is employed to invert the output signal from the first inverter 12. Therefore, the waveform of the signal outputted from the output end of the second inverter 13 coincides with the waveform of the output signal of the clock signal output control circuit 110 but the signal outputted by the second inverter 13 delays the predetermined period than the output signal of the clock signal output control circuit 110 after passing through the first inverter 12 and the second inverter 13. An output end of the second inverter 13 is coupled to the signal output end G(N) of the Nth stage to output the output signal of the shift register sub circuit of the Nth stage via the signal output end G(N) of the Nth stage.
