SCANNING SIGNAL LINE DRIVE CIRCUIT AND DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING SAME

摘要

A gate driver is implemented that includes an easily testable shift register to improve panel yields. In a monolithic gate driver including a shift register that operates based on 4-phase clock signals, each stage of the shift register is provided with an inter-stage connecting wiring line for receiving a clock signal other than clock signals received from a clock signal trunk wiring line, from a different stage than the stage; and a contact that connects a wiring line formed on the stage to the inter-stage connecting wiring line. The shift register is grouped every four consecutive stages. Markings formed of different numbers of planar-view circular-shaped structures are formed on bistable circuits of four stages included in each group such that the same type of marking appears every four stages.
