Abstract

A driving circuit for a display device for selectively outputting a driving voltage positive or negative with respect to a given reference voltage of the display device in accordance with an image signal, includes an input stage circuit; and an output stage circuit for outputting a driving voltage between a given high voltage and a first intermediate voltage or a driving voltage between a second intermediate voltage and a given low voltage in accordance with a pair of output stage control signals output from the input stage circuit.

Claims (16)

1. A driving circuit for a display device for selectively outputting a driving voltage positive or negative with respect to a given reference voltage of the display device in accordance with an image signal, comprising:

an input stage circuit; and

an output stage circuit for outputting a driving voltage between a given high voltage and the given reference voltage or a driving voltage between the given reference voltage and a given low voltage in accordance with a pair of output stage control signals output from the input stage circuit,

wherein the output stage circuit includes:

a high-voltage-side transistor and a low-voltage-side transistor connected in series to each other;

a high-voltage-side voltage supplying circuit for selectively supplying the high voltage or the given reference voltage to the high-voltage-side transistor; and

a low-voltage-side voltage supplying circuit for selectively supplying the given reference voltage or the low voltage to the low-voltage-side transistor, and

the input stage circuit includes:

a P-channel transistor and an N-channel transistor connected in parallel to each other and connected, at both ends thereof, respectively to control terminals of the high-voltage-side transistor and the low-voltage-side transistor; and

a bias supplying circuit for applying bias voltages to control terminals of the P-channel transistor and the N-channel transistor, said bias voltages corresponding to:

a first selection mode in which the high voltage is supplied to the high-voltage-side transistor and the reference voltage is supplied to the low-voltage-side transistor, and

a second selection mode in which the reference voltage is supplied to the high-voltage-side transistor, and the low voltage is supplied to the low-voltage-side transistor, and

wherein bias voltages of said first selection mode are different from bias voltages of said second selection mode.

2. A display device comprising:

the driving circuit of claim 1 ; and

a display part for displaying an image in accordance with the driving voltage output from the driving circuit and the given reference voltage.
