Abstract:
A scanner includes a plurality of unit circuits configured with transistors of a same conductivity type. In the scanner, the unit circuit constituting the scanner includes an output transistor that selectively outputs, to an output terminal of the unit circuit, a signal given from an outside. A gate electrode of the output transistor is connected to one end of a voltage limiting transistor, and a gate electrode of the voltage limiting transistor is supplied with a first power supply potential.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a liquid crystal display device having first and second substrates disposed to face each other so as to hold a liquid crystal layer therebetween, and a gate potential creating circuit for outputting a selection potential and a non-selection potential, scanning lines, signal lines, thin film transistors formed so as to correspond to intersection portions between the scanning lines and the signal lines, respectively, pixel electrodes electrically connected to the thin film transistors, respectively, and a gate control circuit for switching the selection potential and the non-selection potential supplied from the gate potential creating circuit over to each other, thereby supplying one of the selection potential and the non-selection potential to corresponding ones of the thin film transistors through corresponding one of the scanning lines being formed on the first substrate, and a common electrode being formed either on the first substrate or the second substrate.
