  • Patent number: 7737929
    Abstract: A display device which transmits display data to drive circuits which drive a display panel using low voltage differential signals have input circuits which are hardly influenced by noise. To transmit the low voltage differential signals under the same condition, low voltage differential signal lines are formed in a zigzag pattern so as to make the lengths of the lines equal. To reduce the influence generated by the overlapping of the zigzagged low voltage differential signal lines and the drive circuits, level shift circuits are provided to the input circuits so as to make the input signals assume a stable operation level.

  • Publication number: 20060250342
    Abstract: The present invention decreases the voltage dependency of a semiconductor resistance element used in a resistance voltage dividing circuit thus preventing the deterioration of display quality of a display image and, at the same time, realizing the reduction of power consumption. In a display device which includes a display element and a drive circuit which drives the display element, the drive circuit includes a semiconductor resistance element, the semiconductor resistance element includes a first conductive impurity region and a second conductive impurity region which is embedded in the first conductive impurity region and functions as a resistance element, the second conductive impurity region includes a first electrode and a second electrode, and a voltage which is applied to the first electrode or the second electrode of the second conductive impurity region is applied to the first conductive impurity region.
