  • Publication number: 20130155044
    Abstract: A unit circuit (11) includes: a transistor (T2) having its drain terminal to be supplied with a clock signal (CK) and its source terminal connected to an output terminal (OUT); a transistor (T9) which, when supplied with an active all-on control signal (AON), outputs an ON voltage to the output terminal (OUT), and which, when supplied with a nonactive all-on control signal (AONB), stops outputting the ON voltage; a transistor (T1) which supplies the ON voltage to a control terminal of the transistor (T2) in accordance with an input signal (IN); a transistor (T4) which, when supplied with the active all-on control signal (AON), supplies an OFF voltage to a control terminal of the transistor (T2). This makes it possible to provide a shift register of a simple structure that can prevent a malfunction from occurring after all-on operation, and to provide a display device.

  • Patent number: 8223112
    Abstract: At least one embodiment of the present invention is directed to, even when external noise is applied to a shift register during all-on operation, preventing through-current from flowing in unit circuits and also to prevent increase in load on all-on control signal lines. When a high-level all-on control signal is provided to a unit circuit of a shift register, a transistor T3 is brought into off-state, so that a transistor T2 cannot output an on-voltage to a first output terminal. However, a transistor T24 is brought into on-state, so that the first output terminal outputs an on-voltage to the exterior. On the other hand, a transistor T32 is brought into on-state, so that a second output terminal outputs an off-voltage to a unit circuit 11 in the next stage. At this time, the transistor T3 is kept in off-state, so that no through-current flows to the transistors T24 and T3.
