Patent ID: 6867760

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a plurality of pixel electrodes; image signal lines for supplying data signals to said pixel electrodes; a plurality of scanning signal lines provided so as to intersect said image signal lines; a driving circuit for outputting a scanning signal to actuate said scanning signal lines; thin film transistors each having a gate, a source, and a drain which are connected with one scanning signal line, one image signal line, and one image electrode, respectively, said thin film transistors being provided at the intersections of said image signal lines and said scanning signal lines, respectively; wherein said driving circuit controls falls of the scanning signal; wherein the scanning signal is composed of a gate-on voltage which causes said thin film transistor to attain an ON state and a gate-off voltage which causes said thin film transistor to attain an OFF state; and wherein said driving circuit includes: a shift register section composed of a plurality of flip-flops which are cascaded and to which a scanning timing control signal is supplied; slope control sections for controlling the slopes of the falls from the gate-on voltage to the gate-off voltage, where each slope control section includes a slew-rate control element; and switch sections each of which switches the gate-on voltage for the gate-off voltage or vice versa according to an output of each flip-flop.
