An output circuit, a digital/analog conversion circuit and a display apparatus can reduce the number of required input voltages and the number of transistors to save the necessary area. The output circuit and the digital/analog conversion circuit comprise a selection circuit for receiving as input a plurality of (m) reference voltages having mutually different respective voltage values, selecting two of the voltages according to a selection signal and outputting them and an amplifier circuit for receiving as input the voltages output from the selection circuit at two input terminals T1, T2 and outputting the voltage obtained by interpolating the voltage difference of the two input terminal voltages V(T1), V(T2) to a predetermined ratio. It may alternatively be so arranged that the selection circuit sequentially outputs the selected two voltages and the amplifier circuit sequentially receives as two input the two voltages and outputs the output voltage obtained by interpolation.

The amplifier includes first and second inverters that form a flip-flop. In this flip-flop, an input of first inverter is connected to an output of the second inverter, and an output of the first inverter is connected to an input of the second inverter. Control terminals of at least one transistors (MN1, MN2) of first and second transistor pairs (MP1, MN1 and MP2, MN2) that constitute first and second inverters, respectively, are connected to inputs of first and second inverters through first and second capacitances (C1, C2), respectively. At resetting, inputs (1, 2) and outputs (OUT, OUTB) of first and second inverters are not mutually cross-connected, wherein a reference signal (VR) is supplied in common to inputs (1, 2) of the first and second inverters. The one transistors (MN1, MN2) are diode-connected. Voltage differences between reference signal (VR) and respective control terminals of the one transistors are stored in the first and second capacitances (C1, C2), respectively. At signal input, diode connections of the one transistors (MN1, MN2) are released. Inputs (1, 2) of the first and second inverters are disconnected from the reference signal. First and second input signals (S1, S2) are supplied to inputs (1, 2), respectively. Then, inputs and outputs of first and second inverters are mutually cross-connected, forming the flip-flop. The amplifier with high-speed and highly reliable operation does not depend on variations in devices therein.

When n-channel thin film transistors(TFTs) and p-channel TFTs are formed on a polycrystalline silicon film formed on a glass substrate, a process is included in which P-dopant or N-dopant is introduced at the same time to the channel region of a part of the n-channel TFTs and a part of the p-channel TFTs. In one channel doping operation, a set of low-VT and high-VT p-channel TFTs and a set of low-VT and high-VT n-channel TFTs can be formed. This method is used for forming high-VT TFTs, which can reduce the off-current, in logics and switch circuits and for forming low-VT TFTs, which can enlarge the dynamic range, in analog circuits to improve the performance of a thin film semiconductor.
