Abstract
A shift register is formed by connecting unit circuits 11 in multi-stage. One electrode of a capacitor Cap2 in the unit circuit 11 is connected to the gate terminal (node N1) of a transistor T2, and the other connected to a node N2. A compensation circuit composed of transistors T3 to T5 provides a clock signal CKB to the node N2 when the node N1 potential is at low level, and applies a low-level potential to the node N2 when the node N1 potential is at high level. Accordingly, even when the gate potential of the transistor T2 changes with a change in a clock signal CK, a signal that cancels out the change is provided through the capacitor Cap2, stabilizing the gate potential of the transistor T2. Thus, a change in the control terminal potential of an output transistor associated with a change in a clock signal is prevented.
