Electronic circuit, scanning circuit, display device, and electronic circuit life extending method

Abstract

To provide an electronic circuit and the like capable of extending the life greatly even when the transistors constituting the electronic circuit have property fluctuation. The electronic circuit includes switching-target circuits and a switching circuit for switching the switching-target circuits to an operating state from a stop state. The switching-target circuits include the switching-target circuit in an operating state and the switching-target circuit in an initial-to-stop state. Property fluctuation is generated in the transistors forming the switching-target circuits and the switching target due to an electric stress applied to the transistors. The switching circuit switches the switching-target circuit in the initial-to-stop state to an operating state by the transistor of the switching circuit.
