摘要:
A capacitor capable of functioning as a capacitor even when an AC voltage is applied thereto is provided without increasing the manufacturing steps of a semiconductor device. A transistor is used as a MOS capacitor where a pair of impurity regions formed on opposite sides of a channel formation region are each doped with impurities of different conductivity so as to be used as a source region or a drain region. Specifically, assuming that an impurity region that is doped with N-type impurities is referred to as an N-type region while an impurity region that is doped with P-type impurities is referred to as a P-type region, a transistor is provided where a channel formation region is interposed between the N-type region and the P-type region, which is used as a MOS capacitor.

An object is to provide a moving object structure capable of reducing power loss caused when power is supplied from a power feeding device to a moving object by wireless communication. Another object is to provide a moving object structure capable of reducing the strength of a radio wave radiated to the surroundings. Before power is supplied to a moving object, a radio wave for alignment of antennas is output from a power feeding device. That is, radio waves are output from a power feeding device in two stages. In a first stage, a radio wave is output to align positions of antennas of the power feeding device and the moving object. In a second stage, a radio wave is output to supply power from the power feeding device to the moving object.

A level shifter that accommodates lower driving voltage of a driver circuit and has a sufficient capability of converting the amplitude of an input signal even when the voltage amplitude of the input signal is low is provided. A level shifter utilizing a current mirror circuit 150 and a differential circuit 160 is used in a portion for converting the voltage amplitude of the signal. Since the potential difference of a signal input through transistors 105 and 106 to the differential circuit 120 is amplified and outputted, the voltage amplitude can be normally converted without influence of the threshold of a transistor even when the voltage amplitude of the input signal is low.

A digital driver for display devices which can prevent the delay of digital data and the extended transition time of the digital data, and thus can make good display, and a display device including the above-mentioned digital driver are disclosed. The digital driver according to the present invention is constituted in such a manner that, by successively inputting digital data to a shift register, the digital data are shifted in the shift register, and the resulting output is sent out to latch circuits. Since the digital data are directly inputted to the shift register, the distance over which the data lines are laid around can be shortened, the increase in load due to the laying-around of the data lines which has so far been a problem can be prevented, and the delay of the digital data and the extended transition time of the digital data can be prevented.
