  • Patent number: 10366657
    Abstract: A scan driving circuit includes a shift register unit and a logic circuit unit. The start of a start pulse of an output signal STp+1 of a p+1'th shift register is situated between the start and end of a start pulse of the output signal STp of a p'th shift register, and one each of a first enable signal through a Q'th enable signal exist in sequence between the start of the start pulse of the output signal STp and the start of the start pulse of the output signal STp+1. The operations of a (p?, q)'th NAND circuit are restricted based on period identifying signals, such that the NAND circuit generates scanning signals based only on a portion of the output signal STp corresponding to the first start pulse, the signal obtained by inverting the output signal STp+1, and the q'th enable signal ENq.

  • Publication number: 20190035345
    Abstract: A display device according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a first driver that sequentially selects each of pixels on a row basis, and a second driver that applies, through a signal line, an image signal to each of the pixels in a pixel row that is selected by the first driver, and that inverts a polarity of the image signal at a predetermined period. The second driver sequentially applies, to the signal line, a first precharge signal voltage having a relatively large amplitude and a second precharge signal voltage having a relatively small amplitude, prior to the application of the image signal. The second driver further controls the application of the first precharge signal voltage to cause an amount of leak of an electric current from the pixel to the signal line due to the application of the first precharge signal voltage to become smaller than that in another period for each of predetermined horizontal periods.
