Abstract: The invention provides a gate-in-panel display device capable of preventing deterioration of thin-film transistors during pause drive, as well as a method for driving the same. At the end of a drive period, an active clear signal is provided to thin-film transistors in unit circuits, each thin-film transistor being connected to either a first or second node at a gate terminal, thereby bringing the thin-film transistors into ON state. As a result, the voltages of the first and second nodes are set to a reference voltage. Thus, even if a pause period lasts for a long period of time, the gate terminals of the thin-film transistors are not subjected to sustained voltage application, leading to no threshold voltage shifts.

Abstract: A gate driver (24) which is provided by an IGZO-GDM and a level shifter circuit (13) are connected to each other via a first through a fifth wires (OL1 through OL5). Each wire (OL) is connected to a discharge unit (190). If an electric power supply to a first through a fifth output circuits (OC1 through OC5) in the level shifter circuit (13) becomes lower than a lower operation limit value during a power-off sequence which is supposed to remove a residual charge from inside a panel, outputs from the first through the fifth output circuits (OC1 through OC5) assume a high-impedance state, whereupon a potential on each wire (OL) is drawn by a discharge unit (190) into a ground potential. Therefore, residual charge inside the panel is removed quickly and stably when power supply is shut off.

Abstract: In a display device that can use a low frequency drive method, in the case of low frequency drive, in a data correction unit (23) of a display control circuit (200), a pixel grayscale value is set such that the differential value between the potential difference between the pixel electrode and the common electrode when a voltage of positive polarity is applied and the potential difference between the pixel electrode and the common electrode when a voltage of negative polarity is applied becomes larger than during normal drive. With this, a correction amount (shift amount) is made larger during low frequency drive than during normal drive, whereby flickers and ghosting during low frequency drive are prevented.

Abstract: Provided are a display device capable of preventing burning by suppressing occurrence of a VCOM shift which occurs when a liquid crystal panel is driven for a long period of time, and a drive method thereof. Since a source output voltage corresponding to each of tone levels from a tone value 0 to a tone value 224 agrees with a flicker regulation voltage, a shift amount from the flicker regulation voltage is set to 0 mV, and a source output voltage corresponding to a tone value 255 is obtained by further adding +40 mV as a shift amount to 4.05 V which is the flicker regulation voltage. In such a manner, a source output voltage, increased at a high tone level and in the vicinity thereof, is applied to source bus lines SL1 to SLm and written into each liquid crystal capacitance Ccl.
