Abstract
A scan line to which a selection signal or a non-selection signal is input from its end, and a transistor in which a clock signal is input to a gate, the non-selection signal is input to a source, and a drain is connected to the scan line are provided. A signal input to the end of the scan line is switched from the selection signal to the non-selection signal at the same or substantially the same time as the transistor is turned on. The non-selection signal is input not only from one end but also from both ends of the scan line. This makes it possible to inhibit the potentials of portions in the scan line from being changed at different times.

A display device comprising:
- a first scan line;
- a second scan line positioned next to the first scan line;
- a first pulse output circuit configured to output a first signal such that the first signal is supplied from one end of the first scan line to the first scan line;
- a second pulse output circuit configured to output a second signal such that the second signal is supplied from one end of the second scan line to the second scan line;
- a first transistor electrically connected to the other end of the first scan line;
- a second transistor electrically connected to the other end of the second scan line;
- and
- a pixel portion positioned between the first transistor and the second transistor in a planar view, the pixel portion being electrically connected to the first scan line and the second scan line,
- wherein the first scan line is configured such that a first non-selection signal is supplied from the other end of the first scan line through the first transistor,
- wherein the second scan line is configured such that a second non-selection signal is supplied from the other end of the second scan line through the second transistor,
- wherein the first scan line is configured such that no selection signal is supplied from the other end of the first scan line,
- wherein the second scan line is configured such that no selection signal is supplied from the other end of the second scan line,
- wherein the other end of the first scan line is not directly connected to any transistor other than the first transistor, and
- wherein the other end of the second scan line is not directly connected to any transistor other than the second transistor.
