Threshold voltage shifts of transistors which are constituents of a bidirectional shift register are reduced to prevent a malfunction in the shift register. A bidirectional unit shift register includes first and second pull-down circuits (41, 42) connected to the gate of a first transistor (Q1) that supplies a first clock signal (CLK) to an output terminal (OUT). The first pull-down circuit (41) includes a first inverter that uses the gate of the first transistor (Q1) as the input node and that is activated by the first clock signal (CLK), and a second transistor (Q5A) that discharges the gate of the first transistor (Q1) according to the output of the first inverter. The second pull-down circuit (42) includes a second inverter that uses the gate of the first transistor (Q1) as the input node and that is activated by a second clock signal (/CLK) having a different phase from the first clock signal (CLK), and a third transistor (Q5A) that discharges the gate of the first transistor according to the output of the second inverter.
