  • Patent number: 9632527
    Abstract: A shift register is configured by connecting unit circuits 1 in multiple stages. An output transistor Tr1 switches between whether or not to output a clock signal CKA in accordance with a gate potential. A drain terminal of an initialization transistor Tra is connected to a gate terminal of the Tr1, and a source terminal thereof is connected to an output terminal OUT or a clock terminal CKA. The source terminal of the Tra is connected to a node which has a low-level potential at the time of initialization and has a potential at the same level as the clock signal when the clock signal having a high-level potential is outputted. Thus, at the time of outputting the clock signal having the high-level potential, application of a high voltage between the source and the drain of the Tra is prevented, and degradation and breakdown of the initialization transistor are prevented.

  • Publication number: 20160027527
    Abstract: A shift register is configured by connecting unit circuits 1 in multiple stages. An output transistor Tr1 switches between whether or not to output a clock signal CKA in accordance with a gate potential. A set transistor Tr2 switches between whether or not to provide an output of an on-potential output unit 2 to a gate terminal of Tr1 in accordance with an output of a set control unit 3. The set control unit 3 controls a gate terminal of Tr2 into a floating state in part of a period during which a high-level potential is provided to the gate terminal of Tr1. The gate potential of Tr2 is raised by being pushed up, whereby a high-level potential without a threshold drop is provided to the gate terminal of Tr1, and rounding of an output signal OUT is decreased when the output signal OUT shifts to a high level. Accordingly, an operation margin with respect to fluctuation of a threshold voltage of the transistor is increased.
