A liquid crystal display that is unsusceptible to the effect of a pixel potential during writing of data to a memory, allowing a large margin to be provided against variation in characteristics of transistors forming a pixel circuit, and a portable terminal having the liquid crystal display. In a pixel circuit including a memory circuit (25), separate paths are provided for writing image data from a signal line (16-i) to the memory circuit (25) via a data-write switch (24) and for reading image data held in the memory circuit (25) out into a liquid crystal cell unit via a data-read switch (27). Furthermore, image data are read via a data-read buffer (26). Accordingly, when image data is written to the memory, data held in the memory circuit (25) is not affected by a pixel potential. Thus, a large margin can be provided against variation in the characteristics of the transistors forming the pixel circuit, serving to avoid variation in picture quality due to the variation in the transistor characteristics.

An active-matrix liquid crystal display device has pixels arranged in a matrix which each include a thin film transistor (TFT) as an active element. When the device is in a power-off state, TFTs in all the pixels are switched on, and all horizontal switches are turned on so that all data lines are supplied with a potential equal to the potential of common electrodes of the pixels. This forms a discharging path for discharging residual charge in all the pixels, and the discharging path can instantaneously discharge the residual charges.

This invention realizes reduction in consumption of DC current in a level converter circuit by setting level shifters in an operating state only when necessary in accordance with hierarchical control, in which an output pulse of a level shifter (311) that is constantly in a power-ON state is used to set a level shifter (321) of the next hierarchical level in the operating state, then output pulses of the level shifter (311) and the level shifter (321) are used to generate control pulses LT1 and LT2, which are used to set level shifters (341 to 346) of the next hierarchical level in the operating state, and an output pulse of one of the level shifters is used to set level shifters (351), (352) and (353) of the next hierarchical level in the operating state. Thus, a level converter circuit in which the consumption of DC current is reduced and which enables reduction in power consumption of the whole device, a display device equipped with this level converter circuit, and a portable telephone device using the display device as an output display unit can be constructed.

A display area 21 of an I/O display panel 20 is provided therein with a plurality of main sensors 32 each including, as a photosensitive wavelength region, a wavelength region Δλ23 of detection light for use to detect any proximity object, and a plurality of auxiliary sensors 33 whose photosensitivity in the wavelength region of the detection light is lower than photosensitivity of the main sensors 32.

摘要:
An image pickup device capable of stably detecting an object irrespective of use conditions while reducing manufacturing costs is provided. When illumination light from a backlight 15 is emitted to a proximity object from an I/O display panel 20, an electric charge for charging is accumulated in each of image pickup pixels 33 in accordance with total light amount as a summation of reflected light Lon originating from the illumination light and environment light (outside light) L0. Moreover, when the above-described illumination light is not emitted, an electric charge for discharging is released from each of the image pickup pixels 33 in accordance with light amount of the environment light L0. Thereby, a component by the environment light L0 is subtracted in an image pickup signal obtained from each of the image pickup pixels 33, so object information about the proximity object is obtainable without influence of the environment light L0. Moreover, in a light reception drive circuit 13, a smaller number of necessary frame memories 13A for producing a picked-up image from the image pickup signal than that in related art are necessary.
