Display device and output buffer circuit for driving the same

A display device, comprising:

• a plurality of pixel circuits;
• a first scanning line connected to corresponding ones of the plurality of pixel circuits;
• and
• an output buffer circuit including:
• a first power source supply terminal connected through a first signal path to the first scanning line such that a first potential appearing on the first power source supply terminal may be selectively applied as a corresponding output potential to the first scanning line;
• a second power source supply terminal connected through a second signal path to the first scanning line such that a second potential appearing on the second power source supply terminal may be selectively applied as a corresponding output potential to the first scanning line;
• and
• a variable resistance circuit interposed in the first signal path between the first power source supply terminal and the first scanning line,
• wherein:
• the output buffer circuit is configured to supply signals to the corresponding ones of the plurality of pixel circuits by applying a selected corresponding output potential corresponding to either the first potential or the second potential to the first scanning line;
• and
• the variable resistance circuit comprises a transistor with a gate electrode thereof directly connected to a drain electrode thereof.
