When a switching TFT is switched on, a data voltage on a data line is stored in a storage capacitor as a gate voltage of a driver TFT. In this state, a voltage on a pulse drive line is caused to fall. AMOS type capacity element having a second electrode connected to a reference voltage is connected to a gate of the driver TFT. The MOS type capacity element is in an ON state before a fall of the pulse drive line and becomes an OFF state during the fall, and a capacitance changes at the switching of ON state to the OFF state. Therefore, the slope of fall of the gate voltage changes, and the gate voltage after the fall on the pulse drive line can be corrected corresponding to the variation in the threshold values among driver TFTs.

Pixel circuit and display device

Disclosed is an IC chip using a glass substrate capable of being manufactured at a lower cost than the IC chip using from a semiconductor wafer. Further, where the body substrate of a display device is made of glass, the IC chip and the body substrate can have equal coefficients of thermal expansion, thus preventing the IC chips from peeling off and reducing the failure rate. Furthermore, the gate line driving IC applied to a display device can be arranged as an IC chip having a length approximately equal to the display area, therefore, mounting a plurality of IC chips as the gate driving IC is not required, thereby reducing the production cost. Still further, all gate lines can be extended in parallel from the IC chip so that no difference in the delay occurs among the gate lines and the size of frame of display device can reduced.
