This invention relates to a digital/analog converter circuit, a level
shift circuit, a shift-register containing this level shift circuit, a
sampling latch circuit and a latch circuit as well as a liquid crystal
display (LCD) device. The LCD device includes an integrated drive circuit
integrated and a digital/analog converter circuit. The digital/analog
converter circuit has a matrix of polysilicon thin film transistors
positioned on the substrate, as switching devices for the pixels. The
shift register includes a level shift circuit and a sampling latch
circuit These circuits may be incorporated into a single scanning type
structural circuit with the drive circuit-integrated LCD device to
provide an LCD panel with a narrow picture frame, stable level shift
operation, stable sampling & latch operation in a circuit having an
extremely small number of components, low power consumption and a small
surface area.
