摘要： A matrix-type image display device of the present invention is arranged such that image data are selectively applied to pixels arranged in a matrix form through scanning signal lines and data signal lines, and the image data are stored therein, wherein a high potential of a sampling pulse 0V/5V to be output from a logic circuit is shifted to 10 V, and a low potential thereof is shifted to -8 V respectively by first and second level shifters. As a result, a difference between an input signal level from an external circuit such as a control circuit, an image signal processing circuit, etc., and an actual driving signal level of each pixel can be absorbed. Therefore, an additional structure such as an interface circuit, etc., is not needed between the external circuit and the scanning signal line driving circuit, thereby enabling a low cost and a low power consumption.

摘要： A shift register circuit, composed of a plurality of serially connected latch circuits, for sequentially transmitting a pulse signal in sync with a rising and a falling of a clock signal, and an output circuit for sequentially outputting a video signal to data signal lines in sync with the pulse signal outputted from the shift register circuit are provided. The shift register circuit is divided into a plurality of latch circuit groups, and the stage numbers of the latch circuits in each latch circuit group is set in such a manner to minimize the time difference between the pulse signal outputted from each latch circuit group and the video signal outputted in sync with the pulse signal. Consequently, the power consumption on the clock signal lines can be reduced while the time difference between the clock signal and the video signal can be prevented, thereby making it possible to provide a data signal line driving circuit and an image forming display apparatus which can realize a display of a satisfactory image.

摘要： An active matrix type liquid crystal display device carries out half-tone display with an area gray scale display method, according to which a pixel is composed of a plurality of subpixels and the area of display regions is changed by an image signal that is a binary signal. The amplitude of an opposite electrode is optimized by configuring a data signal line driving circuit with a scanning circuit, latch-in circuits and outputting circuits. This eliminates the needs to externally input an analogue signal and an intermediate voltage, and enables the driving circuit to be configured only with digital circuits. The driving circuit is integrated to prevent increases in cost of the driving circuit and of mounting the driving circuit that are caused by an increase in the number of data signal lines as a result of the adoption of the area gray scale display method. Consequently, it becomes possible to make an attempt to reduce the cost, power consumption and non-defective ratio of the entire system.

摘要： A delay detecting section detects the phase difference between a first detection signal as a reference and a second detection signal produced by delaying the first detection signal with part of a data signal line driving circuit itself or part of a circuit formed by the same process as the data signal line driving circuit. A phase adjusting section presumes an internal delay of the data signal line driving circuit, and adjusts the phase difference between a clock signal and start signal, and a video signal so that the data signal line driving circuit samples the video signal at an appropriate timing. These structures prevent a lowering of the image quality due to a difference in the timings of the video signal and sampling signal, and provide an image display device capable of displaying a good-quality image with a simple circuit structure.

摘要： An active-matrix-type image display device having a gray-scale power supply for generating gray-scale voltages of different levels, and a source driver that applies gray-scale voltages according to a digital picture signal to source lines and includes one scanning circuit for each source line. The outputs of the scanning circuits are sequentially made active once in a horizontal period. A latch circuit fetches the digital picture signal in synchronization with making the output of the scanning circuit active. The digital picture signal is decoded by a decoder circuit, and one of analog switches becomes a conducting state according to the decoded signal. As a result, one of the gray-scale voltages is output to the source line.

摘要： Picture elements and driving circuits for driving respective picture elements are monolithically formed on an insulating substrate. A protective circuit is provided for allowing input-output terminals of a driving circuit to conduct when a potential difference of not less than a predetermined value is generated. The protective circuit includes an MOS transistor, and a turn-on voltage thereof is set according to a thickness of a gate insulating layer. The protective circuit is formed on the insulating substrate simultaneously when forming the driving circuits. In this arrangement, because the turn-on voltage is set according to the thickness of the gate insulating layer and the thickness can be easily adjusted, an accurate turn-on voltage can be achieved. Since the arrangement prevents an increase in manufacturing cost, the driving circuits, etc., can be surely protected against static electricity generated in the manufacturing process and the input surge in the normal operation.
