Abstract
A drive circuit comprising a plurality of stages comprises a latch circuit configured to retain an output signal inputted from a preceding stage in a suspension period in which the drive circuit is suspended and configured to supply the output signal to a succeeding stage when the suspension period ends, the latch circuit includes a signal retaining node; a first transistor including a first electrode supplied a first control signal when the suspension period ends and a first control electrode; a second output node connected to the first control electrode; and a second transistor including a second control electrode supplied a second control signal supplied after the suspension period starts, but before the first control signal is supplied to the first electrode, the second transistor electrically connects the signal retaining node and the second output node by the second control signal supplied to the second control electrode.
