Abstract
A display device includes a display panel, and drive circuits sequentially scanning gate lines and supplied with any of M-phase (M: three or greater) drive signals having different phases and a first potential or a second potential (lower) at predetermined cycles. The drive circuit includes netA(n) whose potential changes by drive signal with the first/second potential as reference, and an output circuit switching a corresponding gate line to a selected/unselected state and including first output switch including a gate connected to netA(n+1) of a first drive circuit different from the drive circuit, a drain supplied with the drive signal, and a source connected to the gate line. Difference between the potential of netA(n+1) in case of switching the gate line to the unselected/selected state and the reference potential in netA(n+1) is equal to difference between the first and second potentials or greater.
