To make a frame size of a display device having an external compensation function smaller than those of the known display devices. Each of a plurality of unit circuits configuring a gate driver includes a first output control transistor including a second conduction terminal connected to a first output terminal-connected to another unit circuit and a control terminal connected to a first internal node, a second output control transistor including a second conduction terminal connected to a second output terminal configured to output an on level signal for at least a part of a monitoring period and a control terminal connected to a second internal node, and an output circuit control transistor including a first conduction terminal connected to the first internal node and a second conduction terminal connected to the second internal node. A potential to be applied to a control terminal of the output circuit control transistor is switched between a potential of a high level and a potential of a low level.
A display device including a pixel circuit including a display element configured to be driven by a current and a drive transistor configured to control a drive current of the display element and having a function of performing monitoring processing being a series of processes of measuring a current flowing in the pixel circuit outside the pixel circuit to compensate for deterioration of the drive transistor or the display element, the display device comprising:
