Each unit circuit includes a clock terminal, an inverted clock terminal, a control terminal to which an output signal output from the output terminal of a subsequent unit circuit is supplied, a power supply terminal, a first transistor disposed between the clock terminal and the output terminal, a second transistor disposed between the output terminal and the power supply terminal, a capacitor, and a controller that supplies the start signal or the output signal of a previous unit circuit to the gate of the first transistor, and that controls the first transistor to be turned OFF later than a time at which the output signal of the subsequent unit circuit is supplied to the control terminal. | 09-29-2011 |
