  • Patent number: 11955097
    Abstract: A shift register includes stages each constituted by a unit circuit provided with a thin-film transistor (separation transistor) that separates a control node into an output-side first control node and an input-side second control node and a capacitor whose first end is connected to the second control node. The thin-film transistor (separation transistor) has a control terminal that is supplied with a high-level DC power supply voltage. Typically, the channel width of a thin-film transistor (first output control transistor) that controls output from a unit circuit is ten or more times greater than the channel width of the thin-film transistor (separation transistor).

    Abstract: A set circuit in a unit circuit in a gate driver of a display device includes a setting transistor, a first auxiliary transistor, and a second auxiliary transistor. The setting transistor includes a source terminal connected to an internal node, a gate terminal connected to a set input terminal, and a drain terminal connected to the set input terminal via the first auxiliary transistor and also connected to an input terminal via the second auxiliary transistor in a diode-connected form. Each transistor is controlled to be in an on state and an off state during normal drive and is controlled to be in the off state and the on state during a pause period by a control signal supplied to the input terminal.

  • Patent number: 10128754
    Abstract: In a power conversion apparatus including first to fourth semiconductor switching elements connected in series across both terminals of a high voltage-side capacitor, the third and fourth semiconductor switching elements are connected across both terminals of a low voltage-side capacitor via a reactor, and both terminals of the second and third semiconductor switching elements are connected across a charging-discharging capacitor. This charging-discharging capacitor includes a plurality of capacitor elements connected in parallel via a first wiring and a second wiring. Inductance components or capacitance components of the plurality of capacitor elements when viewed from an outflow-inflow portion of the first wiring and an outflow-inflow portion of the second wiring are different from each other such that the charging-discharging capacitor does not have a parallel resonance point in a driving frequency band but has a parallel resonance point in a noise frequency band.
