Abstract

At least one embodiment of the present invention is directed to, even when external noise is applied to a shift register during all-on operation, preventing through-current from flowing in unit circuits and also to prevent increase in load on all-on control signal lines. When a high-level all-on control signal is provided to a unit circuit of a shift register, a transistor T3 is brought into off-state, so that a transistor T2 cannot output an on-voltage to a first output terminal. However, a transistor T24 is brought into on-state, so that the first output terminal outputs an on-voltage to the exterior. On the other hand, a transistor T32 is brought into on-state, so that a second output terminal outputs an off-voltage to a unit circuit 11 in the next stage. At this time, the transistor T3 is kept in off-state, so that no through-current flows to the transistors T24 and T3.
