A transistor circuit having the function of correcting variations in the
threshold voltage of a thin-film transistor is provided.The transistor
circuit includes a plurality of thin-film transistors (Tr1 to Tr3) formed
on a substrate and wiring which connects the gate, source, and/or drain
of each of the transistors, so as to perform a predetermined operation.
During the operation, a forward bias is applied between the gate and
source of the thin-film transistor (Tr2) via the wiring repeatedly and/or
continuously. A reverse bias is applied between the gate and source of
the transistor (Tr2) in such timing that the operation is not disturbed
so that the variations in the threshold voltage are suppressed. More
specifically, an additional transistor (Tr3) connected in parallel to the
transistor (Tr2) is driven complementarily, so as to generate the
above-described timing where the operation is not disturbed, and the
reverse bias is applied to the transistor (Tr2) in the generated timing.
