Patent attributes
The number of transistors in an output control circuit is significantly reduced in a liquid crystal display drive circuit. Also, power consumption is reduced and a drive voltage is stabilized. A pair of control transistors is provided for each of four output transistors TR1-TR4, resulting in total of eight control transistors being provided. The eight control transistors are switched according to a dot signal DA and a field signal DF to select one output transistor out of the four output transistors TR1-TR4. Transition from ON to OFF of the output transistors is quickened by steepening rise of DFp and DFBp that are applied to gates of the output transistors and fall of DFn and DFBn that are applied to gates of the output transistors. Also, transition from OFF to ON is delayed by slackening fall of DFp and DFBp and rise of DFn and DFBn.
