Abstract:
1. A display device comprising: a drive circuit configured to apply, sequentially, a conducting potential which is an electrical potential to set a transistor to a conductive state, to a plurality of output signal lines disposed in parallel to each other, wherein the drive circuit includes a first-stage output circuit which is a circuit configured to perform output to a first-stage output signal line which is an endmost output signal line out of the plurality of output signal lines, and wherein the first-stage output circuit includes wherein the second transistor is provided between the second clock signal line and the node and connects between the second clock signal line and the node in response to setting the start signal line to the conducting potential, wherein the drive circuit includes a first-stage output circuit configured to perform output to the output signal line at one end of the plurality of output signal lines, and a second first-stage output circuit configured to perform output to the output signal line at the other end of the plurality of output signal lines, wherein the drive circuit is configured to perform a forward scanning of setting pixel transistors to the conductive state sequentially from the one end, and a backward scanning of setting the pixel transistors to the conductive state sequentially from the other end while switching between the forward scanning and the backward scanning, and wherein the start signal line is common to the forward scanning and the backward scanning.
