Matrix display device

A matrix display device comprising:

• an array substrate which controls and brings into electrical conduction a plurality of switching elements connected to a plurality of pixel electrodes surrounded by a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of source lines by a select signal supplied through the gate lines, and supplies a video signal supplied over the source lines to the pixel electrodes by way of the switching elements;
• a unit that switches between a first scan mode and a second scan mode in accordance with an electrical signal input to the matrix display device;
• a plurality of flexible substrates provided with a gate driver for supplying a signal to the gate line and a plurality of electrode terminals connected to the gate driver;
• and
• a plurality of gate control signal lines which are formed on the array substrate and connect together corresponding electrode terminals on adjacent flexible substrates, wherein
• the plurality of electrode terminals are formed along single edges of the flexible substrates on a side of the array substrate when viewed from the gate driver;
• the plurality of gate control signal lines are formed on an opposite side of the gate driver when viewed from the single edges of the flexible substrates;
• and
• the gate control signal line includes a first gate scan start signal line which becomes active during the first scan mode and a second gate scan start signal line which becomes active during the second scan mode.
