Flip-flops, shift registers, and active-matrix display devices

摘要

A latch section includes a latch circuit. The latch circuit includes inverters and latches an input signal from a gating section. Between one of the inverters of the latch circuit and the output terminal OUT is disposed an analog switch whose ON/OFF characteristics are switched according to High/Low of a reset signal. Between the output terminal and an input for receiving a low potential as a power supply of a flip-flop is disposed a switching element whose ON/OFF characteristics are switched according to High/Low of the reset signal.
