Abstract: In a display control circuit (200) of a display device, an image pattern detection portion (230) detects whether an image is an anti-flicker pattern or not, and when it is an anti-flicker pattern, a backlight source is driven (typically, such that its luminance changes in the opposite phase relative to luminance changes that would occur), on the basis of predicted values, which are predetermined so as to compensate for the luminance changes that would occur. Moreover, the backlight is not turned on during the scanning period. As a result, flicker due to current leakage, etc., can be reduced or eliminated in a display device for which a scanning period and a scan stop period are set.

The m shift units 12 perform a shift operation, and a first signal Y is outputted from each stage. When a clock signal CK is at a high level, the first signal Y rises higher than a normal high level due to bootstrapping. The buffer unit 13r controls an output signal YR to be at a high level based on the buffer control signal CR and the first signal Y. A buffer control circuit 7 controls buffer control signals CR, CG, and CB to be at a high level for a time period shorter than a half cycle of the clock signal. With this, a shift register with a reduced circuit amount and low power consumption is provided.
