Patent attributes
A protection circuit includes a control circuit that controls current between a first wiring and a second wiring and an application circuit that applies a voltage to the control circuit. The control circuit includes a first thin film transistor that controls the current. The application circuit includes second and third thin film transistors that are connected in series. Each of the second and third thin film transistors includes first and second gates. The first gate of the second thin film transistor is connected to the first wiring. The first gate of the third thin film transistor is connected to a connection point between the second and third thin film transistors. The second gates of the second thin film transistor and the third thin film transistor are connected to the second wiring. The application circuit applies a voltage of the connection point to a gate of the first thin film transistor.
