Abstract
A unit circuitof a shift register is provided with a transistor Trhaving a drain terminal connected to a node N, a source terminal to which an off potential is applied, and a gate terminal connected to an output terminal OUT, in order to stabilize a potential of the node N. The unit circuitis further provided with a transistor Trhaving a drain terminal connected to the output terminal OUT, a source terminal to which the off potential is applied, and a gate terminal to which an initialization signal INIT is supplied. With this, when performing an initialization, it is possible to control the potential of the node Nto be a desired level and initialize the shift register certainly, irrespective of a state of the transistor Trbefore the initialization.
