During the scanning period t, the data control terminal 10 supplies driving signals to the first thin film transistor 101 and the second thin film transistor 201 connected thereto. During the scanning period t, the first switching control terminal supplies ON signals, and then the first thin film transistor 101 connected to the first switching control terminal 21 is turned on, and outputs corresponding data signals to M1. During the scanning period t, the second switching control terminal supplies an ON signal, and then the second thin film transistor 201 connected to the second switching control terminal 22 is turned on, and outputs corresponding data signals to M2. FIG. 7 is described in detail by taking the first switching control terminal supplying a high level signal and the second switching control terminal supplying a low level signal as an example.
