Abstract

A data signal line drive circuit includes: a shift register including a plurality of unit circuits; a first latch portion including a plurality of first latch circuits; and a second latch portion including a plurality of second latch circuits. Here, the k-th (k is a natural number) second latch circuit is provided with first latch signals provided to (k+1)-th and subsequent first latch circuits as a second latch signal, so that the capturing of data signals at the second latch portion is split into two or more timings.

Claims (18)

1. A data signal line drive circuit comprising:

a shift register including a plurality of unit circuits connected in series;

a first latch portion including a plurality of first latch circuits configured to operate based on two power supply voltages; and

a second latch portion including a plurality of second latch circuits configured to operate based on two power supply voltages, the data signal line drive circuit being configured to output data signals to a plurality of data signal lines,

wherein each of the plurality of first latch circuits captures a data signal transmitted from outside, based on a first latch signal, and outputs the captured data signal,

each of the plurality of second latch circuits captures a data signal output from a corresponding first latch circuit, based on a second latch signal, and outputs the captured data signal to a corresponding data signal line,

each of the plurality of first latch circuits is provided with a shift pulse output from a corresponding unit circuit as the first latch signal, and

first latch signals provided to (k+1)-th and subsequent first latch circuits are given as the second latch signal to a k-th second latch circuit, as capturing of data signals at the second latch portion is split into two or more timings, with k as a natural number.

2. The data signal line drive circuit according to claim 1 ,

wherein a first latch signal provided to a (k+p)-th first latch circuit is provided as the second latch signal to the k-th second latch circuit, with p as a particular natural number.

3. The data signal line drive circuit according to claim 1 ,

wherein a same signal is provided as the second latch signal to continuous q second latch circuits, with q as an integer greater than or equal to 2.

4. The data signal line drive circuit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the data signals represent binary data.

5. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a plurality of pixel circuits including memory circuits configure to hold data, based on the data signals;

a plurality of data signal lines configured to supply the data signals to the plurality of pixel circuits; and

a data signal line drive circuit according to claim 1 .
