    摘要: A level shifter 13 is provided for each of SR flip flops F1 constituting a shift register 11. The level shifter 13 increases a voltage of a clock signal CK. This arrangement reduces a distance for transmitting a clock signal whose voltage has been increased, as compared with a construction in which a voltage of a clock signal is increased by a single level shifter and the signal is transmitted to each of the flip flops; consequently, a load capacity of the level shifter can be smaller. Furthermore, each of the level shifters is operated during a pulse output of the previous level shifter 13, and the operation is suspended at the end of the pulse output. Thus, the level shifters 13 can operate only when it is necessary to apply a clock signal CK to the corresponding SR flip flop F1. As a result, even when an amplitude of a clock signal is small, it is possible to reduce power consumption of the shift resister under normal operation.

    摘要: In a shift register provided with flip-flops that operate in synchronism with a clock signal, and a switching means, which is opened and closed in response to an output of the preceding stage of each of the flip-flops, is installed. The clock signal is selectively inputted by the switching means, and the selected clock signal is inverted and used as a shift register output from each of the stages. Moreover, two kinds of clock signals, each of which has a duty ratio of not more than 50% and which have no overlapped portions in their low-level periods, are used so as to prevent the outputs of the shift-register from overlapping each other. Thus, it is possible to provide a shift register which is preferably used for a driving circuit of an image display device, can miniaturize the driving circuit, and can desirably change the pulse width of the output signal, and also to provide an image display device using such a shift register.

    摘要: A precharge control circuit constituted by (1) a latch circuit mounted in a precharge circuit and (2) a level shifter circuit of a current drive type controlled through an output of the latch circuit is included. The precharge control circuit changes the latch circuit to an active state to cause the level shifter circuit of a current drive type to operate only during a precharge period and also during immediately preceding and succeeding periods, and outside these periods, changes the latch circuit in a non-active state and the level shifter circuit of a current drive type in an operating state to save power consumption in the level shifter circuit. This enables a low-power-consuming precharge circuit, as well as a low-power-consuming image display device with a high quality display capability, to be offered.

    摘要: A signal line driving circuit includes a shift register having a plurality of shift circuits, each of which shifts a start pulse successively to the next stage, synchronizing with the timing of a clock signal. In this signal line driving circuit, shift pulses are outputted from an AND gate based on output pulses of two adjacent shift circuits. Meanwhile, a width specifying pulse for specifying a pulse width of the shift pulse is inputted via a transistor whose ON/OFF operation is controlled by the shift pulse. A logical operation circuit operates an AND of the shift pulse and the width specifying pulse and outputs the result of operation to a signal line. When the shift pulse is non-active, the transistor becomes OFF, which causes the signal line transmitting the width specifying pulse to be disconnected from the signal line driving circuit, thereby reducing a capacitive load of wiring. As a result, reduction of a parasitic capacitance of the wiring, reduction in the number of elements, reduction in the size of an amplitude of an input signal, etc. in the signal line driving circuit are attained.

    摘要: A shift register is provided with a shift register section composed of a plurality of stages of flip-flops that operate in synchronization with a clock signal, and level shifters for boosting a start signal lower than a driving voltage and for applying the same to both ends of the shift register section, and the shift register is capable of switching the shift direction in accordance with the switching signal. The foregoing level shifters are current-driving-type level shifters that can operate even in the case where the transistor characteristics are inferior or in the case of fast operations, and that can carry out level shifting even with a start signal having a small amplitude. Furthermore, the foregoing level shifters are provided at both ends of the shift register section, respectively, and one of the same stops operating in accordance with a switching signal, so that consumed power should decrease. Consequently, there can be provided a shift register that is capable of shifting in two directions, that can normally operate even with an input signal having a small amplitude, and that therefore consumes less electric power.

    摘要: A matrix type image display device has a structure in which the internal states of all of shift registers (the outputs of flip-flops included in the shift registers) in a scanning signal line drive circuit and data signal line drive circuit are made inactive by the use of an initializing signal generated by a NAND gate based on a combination of signals, which do not affect a displayed image, from a control circuit. With this structure, since the shift registers are initialized when power is supplied, it is possible to prevent an indefinite state when power is supplied. Therefore, by selectively inputting signals (such as clock signals) for controlling the shift registers, it is possible to prevent an excessive increase in the signal line load. Consequently, the operation of the image display device can be stabilized. Moreover, it is not necessary to improve the drive ability of an external IC incorporating the control circuit and the supply ability of a power supply circuit, thereby achieving a reduction in the cost and power consumption of the external IC.
