Active matrix display device and data line switching circuit, switching section drive circuit, and scanning line drive circuit thereof

摘要

In an active matrix display device in which a data line switching circuit is provided and a plurality of data lines are grouped so as to be connected to one output of a data line drive circuit in order to reduce the number of the outputs of the data line drive circuit, switching elements constituting respective switching sections for selecting the data lines have a short life span so as to be unreliable in the long term. In contrast, a data line switching circuit in accordance with the present invention is provided with switching sections each composed of a plurality of switching elements connected in parallel to each other, so that the life span of the switching elements can be prolonged and the long-term reliability of the switching elements can be improved without obstructing the attempts such as narrowing a frame part and downsizing the whole device.
