Abstract
A shift register circuit can achieve high definition of a display device with the smallest possible number of elements without causing defective operation. A unit circuit is provided with a thin film transistor functioning as an output control transistor; a thin film transistor precharging an internal node based on an on-level signal outputted from an output terminal of a previous stage; two thin film transistors provided in series with each other between the output terminal of the previous stage and the internal node of this stage; a thin film transistor provided between the internal node and an output terminal; and a thin film transistor pulling down the output terminal. The thin film transistors go to an on state only for a quarter period of a clock cycle which is a part of a period during which the output terminal of the previous stage is pulled down.
