Abstract
According to one embodiment, in a level shift circuit, a first PMOS transistor is electrically connected at a gate to a first node to which a first signal having an amplitude to be a first power-supply potential is input, is electrically connected to a second node at a source, and is electrically connected at a drain to an output terminal from which a signal having an amplitude to be a second power-supply potential is output. The first NMOS transistor is electrically connected to the first node at a gate and is electrically connected to the output terminal at a drain. The second PMOS transistor is electrically connected to a node to be the second power-supply potential at a source, and is electrically connected to the second node at a drain. The potential adjusting circuit is electrically connected to at least the second node.
