A
driving circuit and a
display device having the same are provided. The
driving circuit includes a plurality of scan stages each corresponding to a plurality of scan lines, receiving a
clock signal and a carry
signal, and outputting a scan
signal, and a plurality of masking circuits corresponding to some of the plurality of scan stages, respectively. Each masking circuit outputs one of the scan signal output from the corresponding scan stage and a first
voltage as a masking carry signal in response to a masking signal. When a (j-a)th scan stage is not one of the some of the scan stages, a jth scan stage receives the scan signal output from the (j-a)th scan stage as the carry signal, and when the (j-a)th scan stage is one of the some of the scan stages, the jth scan stage receives the masking carry signal output from the masking circuit corresponding to the (j-a)th scan stage as the carry signal.
