摘要:
A D/A converter circuit according to the present invention allows adaptation to multi-gradation by reducing the circuit size. A reference-voltage-selection-type D/A converter circuit that converts 4-bit digital data into an analog signal having 16 voltage values V1 to V16 generates in a reference voltage generating circuit (11) four reference voltages Vref1 to Vref4 having four voltage values in time series and generates a selection signal in a selection signal generating circuit (12) based on low-order two bits of the digital data. A selection circuit (13) selects by time-sharing one of the four voltage values of each of the reference voltages Vref1 to Vref4 based on this selection signal and outputs the analog signal of the selected voltage value to an output line (15).

In the structure in which an input signal IN and a reverse-phase signal XIN thereof are externally input, an external IC is required for generating the reverse-phase signal XIN, and the number of required input signal terminals is two. A level shift circuit formed on an insulating substrate, such as a glass substrate, using transistors with large characteristic variations, for example, TFTs with high thresholds Vth, includes a complementary generator unit (11) driven by a first power supply (VCC) having an amplitude voltage equal to the amplitude voltage of a signal externally input from the substrate to generate complementary signals from a single-phase input signal IN. The complementary signals generated by the complementary generator unit (11) are level-shifted by a level shift unit (14). Therefore, it is no longer necessary to externally input the reverse-phase signal XIN.

A flat display apparatus and a driving method therefor are disclosed wherein an image having a pseudo gradation is displayed and peripheral circuits for a driving method based on frame rate control can be formed integrally on an insulating substrate to assure reliable operation. In the flat display apparatus, image data are distributed into a plurality of systems in response to a variation pattern of a gradation of pixels such that variation patterns of the gradations of corresponding pixels in each system are same as each other, and the image data of the systems are outputted. Then, for each system, in response to a logic value of lower order side bit of the image data, a logic value of the signal pattern indicating the variation pattern is added to the high order side bits to modulate the image data of the systems to produce modulation data.
