Abstract: When a signal output by a solid-state image sensing device is clamped to a predetermined reference potential, a high voltage generated in a transfer suspension period after the clamping as generally supplied to an A/D converter is generated. A sample/hold output Va is clamped to a clamp level Vref over a period of time between a halfway point of time of a signal of a picture element preceding ahead by one line and the end of an inhibit period of transfer clocks of a signal output by an empty transmission unit via a first clamp pulse and a sample/hold output for the second picture element, or a subsequent one of an OPB unit is clamped to the clamp level via a second clamp pulse to prevent a signal output from exceeding a reference voltage from being supplied to an A/D converter at a later stage.

Abstract: A timing generation circuit (15) is formed integrally on the same glass substrate (11) together with a display area section (12) similarly to an H driver (13U) and a V driver (14), and timing pulses to be used by the H driver (13U) and the V driver (14) are produced based on timing data produced by a shift register (31U) of the H driver (13U) and a shift register (14A) of the V driver (14). The invention thereby provides a timing generation circuit which can contribute to miniaturization and reduction of the cost of the set and a display apparatus of the active matrix type in which the timing generation circuit is incorporated.

Abstract: A comparator which can operate stably against an absolute value distribution of a threshold voltage among MOS transistors and has a wide allowable range against the threshold voltage dispersion and besides allows reduction in power consumption. The comparator employs a single MOS transistor, and a resistance element is connected between the drain electrode of the MOS transistor and a power supply. A capacitor is connected between the gate electrode of the MOS transistor and a dc potential point, and a switch is connected between the gate electrode and the drain electrode. A comparison reference level and comparison input data are inputted in a time series to the source electrode of the MOS transistor, and the MOS transistor performs a comparation operation.
