Abstract

See full text

A shift register for scanning a liquid crystal display includes cascaded stages. A given stage is formed with an input transistor switch that is responsive to an output pulse of a stage upstream in the chain of the cascaded stages. An output pulse of the given stage is produced in a pull-up transistor of a push-pull amplifier. A pull-down transistor is responsive to a control signal that tracks a variation of a threshold voltage of the pull-down transistor. A difference between the control signal and the threshold voltage is maintained small in a manner to reduce a change in a conductivity of the pull-down transistor when a drift in the threshold voltage of the pull-down transistor occurs.
