Disclosed herein is a gate driver which is capable of partially driving a screen. The gate driver includes a first shift register for sequentially outputting n scan pulses (where n is a natural number larger than 2), and a second shift register for selecting p ones (where p is a natural number smaller than or equal to n) of the n scan pulses from the first shift register in response to an external output control signal and supplying the selected p scan pulses respectively to p gate lines of a liquid crystal panel.
