There are provided: a first logic operation circuit which performs a logic operation using a high-amplitude logic signal; a transmission system having a load capacitance; and a low-voltage signal generator which is a step-down level shifter transforming an incoming high-amplitude logic signal from the first logic operation circuit to a low-amplitude logic signal having a lower amplitude than the high-amplitude logic signal for output to the transmission system. In the configuration, the first logic operation circuit operates based on a high-amplitude logic signal, and is therefore free from malfunctions and performs operations at high speed. Further, the transmission system introducing a load capacitance transmits a low-amplitude logic signal and therefore restrains increases in electric power consumption and occurrence of unnecessary radiation.

A voltage level shifter comprises an input stage in the form of cross-coupled source followers and an output stage in the form of an amplifier AMP, which may have single-ended or differential inputs. The source followers comprise the transistors M1 and M2 and the transistors M3 and M4. Differential inputs IN and !IN are connected to the gates of the transistors M2 and M4. A bias voltage is supplied to the gate of the transistor M1 from a node B to which the drain of the transistor M3 and the source of the transistor M4 are connected. Similarly, a bias voltage is supplied to the gate of the transistor M3 from a node A to which the drain of the transistor M1 and the source of the transistor M2 are connected.

A digital-to-analog converter includes a first converter stage 1 for converting the m most significant bits of a k bit input signal to upper and lower voltage limits VL and VH by selecting the appropriate low impedance reference voltages. A second converter stage 2 performs a linear conversion of the n least significant bits of the k bit input within the voltage range defined by the voltage limits VL and VH. A precharging circuit including switches SW1 and SW2 disconnects the stage 2 from the load CLOAD, which is charged to the voltage limit VL during the precharge phase. The load is subsequently disconnected from the voltage limit VL and connected to the output of the stage 2 to complete charging of the load CLOAD to the converter output voltage.

A voltage level shifter comprises complementary transistors T1, T2 connected between a supply line vdd and an inverting input !IN. The gate of the transistor T1 is connected to a direct signal input IN whereas the gate of the transistor T2 receives a shifted version of the direct input signal from a source-follower comprising the transistors T3 and T4. The level shifter may also be embodied as a differential cross-coupled sense amplifier with the sources of the drain load transistors being crossed coupled to the differential inputs.

An active matrix devise comprises an array of picture elements. Each picture element has an image element, such as an LCD cell (11) connected to a first storage capacitor 12 and arranged to be connected to a data line 4 by an thin film transistor 10 when activated by a scan signal on a scan line 6. A second storage capacitor 21 can be connected across the first capacitor 12 by means of another thin film transistor 20 when desired so as to increase the storage capacitance at the pixel.
