Abstract
An active matrix substrate includes a demultiplexer circuit arranged in a peripheral region, and a power source circuit configured to supply power source voltages at a plurality of levels to the demultiplexer circuit. The demultiplexer circuit includes a boost circuit configured to increase a voltage to be applied to a gate electrode of a switching TFT. The boost circuit includes a set up unit to be driven by a first drive signal to pre-charge a node coupled to the gate electrode, a reset unit to be driven by a second drive signal to reset a potential of the node, and a boost unit to be driven by a third drive signal to increase the potential of the node pre-charged by the set up unit. An amplitude of the first drive signal and an amplitude of the second drive signal are identical to each other. An amplitude of the third drive signal differs from the amplitudes of the first drive signal and the second drive signal.
