1. A display for an electronic device, comprising:

  • a gate driver comprising;

    an output node configured to be coupled to a gate line and to provide power to the gate line for driving thin-film transistor (TFT) gates of the display;

    an input node configured to receive an input signal;

    a first field-effect transistor (FET) having a first gate, a first drain, and a first source, wherein the first drain is coupled to the input node and the first source is coupled to the output node;

    a second FET having a second gate, a second drain, and a second source, wherein the second drain is coupled to the input node; and

    a capacitor having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the capacitor is coupled to the first gate and the second gate, and the second end of the capacitor is coupled to the second source.
