- transistors 12, 14, and 15 are connected to the node N ⁇ b> 1 in the unit circuit 10.
- the transistors 12 and 14 are turned off when a low-level potential is applied to the gate during the clock passing period.
- an input signal INa that is at a low level during the clock passage period is applied to the drain of the transistor 12, and a low-level potential is fixedly applied to the source of the transistor 14.
- the channel length (drain-source gap length) of the transistors 12 and 14 is set to the channel of the transistor 11 in order to prevent the potential fluctuation (potential drop) of the node N 1 due to the leakage current during the clock passing period. Make it longer than the length.
- the channel lengths of the transistors 12 and 14 are increased by a factor of 1.5 while keeping the sizes of the transistors 11, 13, and 15 unchanged, and the channel widths of the transistors 12 and 14 are increased by a factor of 1.5 according to this. .
- the channel width W and the channel length L of the transistors 12 and 14 are as follows.
- an on-current Ion flowing through a transistor is given by the following equation (1).
- ⁇ is the mobility
- W is the channel width of the transistor
- L is the channel length of the transistor
- Cgi is the capacitance per unit area of the gate insulating film
- Vg is the gate voltage of the transistor
- Vth is the transistor It is a threshold voltage.
- Ion 1/2 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ (W / L) ⁇ Cgi ⁇ (Vg ⁇ Vth) 2 (1)
- the on-current Ion is proportional to (W / L). Therefore, when the channel length L of the transistor is increased, if the channel width W is increased at the same rate, the same amount of on-current can be supplied as before the channel length is increased, and the same on characteristics can be realized.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the relationship between the channel length of the transistor and the leakage current.
- the leakage current decreases. For example, when the channel length is increased from 4 ⁇ m to 6 ⁇ m, the leakage current is reduced to about 1/5.
- the leakage current is significantly reduced from 1 / k times. For this reason, when the channel length L of the transistor is increased as described above, if the channel width W is increased at the same rate, the leakage current is reduced more than before the channel length is increased.
- the shift register 1 In the shift register 1 according to the present embodiment, of the transistors 12, 14, and 15 whose one conduction terminal is connected to the gate of the transistor 11 (output transistor), a low level potential is applied to the gate during the clock passing period and the shift register 1 is turned off.
- the channel length of the transistors 12 and 14 in which the low-level potential is applied to the other conduction terminal is longer than the channel length of the transistor 11. For this reason, compared with the conventional shift register, the leakage current flowing through the transistors 12 and 14 is reduced in the clock passing period, the fluctuation of the potential of the node N1 (the gate potential of the output transistor) is suppressed, and the output signal OUT Dullness can be reduced. Therefore, the shift register 1 according to the present embodiment can prevent the output signal OUT from becoming dull. In addition, by using the shift register 1 that prevents the output signal from becoming dull as a scanning signal line driver circuit of the display device, the scanning signal line can be driven correctly and malfunction of the display device can be prevented.
- a potential difference (2 ⁇ Vck) is not applied between the drains and sources of the transistors 11, 13, and 15. For this reason, the leakage current flowing through the transistors 11, 13, and 15 is smaller than the leakage current flowing through the transistors 12 and 14.
- Increasing the channel length of the transistors 11, 13, and 15 does not contribute to prevention of the dullness of the output signal OUT, but increases the circuit amount. Therefore, it is preferable to use the values obtained by the conventional design method for the channel lengths of the transistors 11, 13, and 15.
- the channel length of the transistors 12 and 14 when the channel length of the transistors 12 and 14 is increased, it is necessary to increase the channel length to some extent in consideration of manufacturing variations. For example, assuming that the manufacturing variation of about ⁇ 0.2 ⁇ m at maximum occurs in the channel length of the transistor, in the worst case, the channel length of the transistors 12 and 14 becomes 0.2 ⁇ m shorter than the design value, and the transistor 11 The channel length is 0.2 ⁇ m longer than the design value. Therefore, when the above manufacturing variation occurs, the channel lengths of the transistors 12 and 14 are set longer than the channel length of the transistor 11 by 0.5 ⁇ m or more. Thereby, even when a manufacturing variation of about ⁇ 0.2 ⁇ m occurs in the channel length of the transistor, it is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the gate potential of the transistor 11 and to prevent the output signal from becoming dull.
