Abstract

The level shifter of the gate line selector in the active matrix type display device generates the through current to raise the power consumption in the prior art. To solve the above problem, the present invention provides a level shifter, wherein a p-channel transistor 11 and an n-channel transistor 14 are connected in series between a positive power supply 18 and a negative power supply 19, while a p-channel transistor 12 and an n-channel transistor 15 are also connected in series. An inverted input signal *Sig1 is inputted into the respective gates of the transistors 11 and 14, while an input signal Sigl is inputted into the respective gates of the transistors 12 and 15. When one transistor turns ON, the other transistor turns OFF. Thus, generation of through current is prevented. The level shifter is inserted between the gate line selector 6 of the active matrix display device and the gate line 3.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a level shifter for converting an input voltage of a specific voltage range into an output voltage of a different voltage range, in particular to a gate line driver suitable for an active matrix display device. Background technique [0002] Existing display devices can be roughly classified into passive type and active matrix type. Among them, an active matrix type display device is a display device in which a switching element is provided for each pixel, and a voltage (or current) corresponding to the image data of the pixel is applied to each pixel to perform display. [0003] A liquid crystal display device is a display device that displays by sealing liquid crystal LC between facing substrates, applying voltage to the pixel electrodes formed in each pixel, and changing the transmittance of liquid crystals. Active matrix LCDs are mainly used For monitoring purposes. [0004] In addition, the electroluminescent display devi...
