Abstract
A semiconductor device that level-shifts a negative voltage and/or a positive voltage is provided. The semiconductor device includes a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, a first capacitor, an input terminal, and an output terminal. A first terminal of the first transistor is electrically connected to a first terminal of the second transistor and the output terminal. A second terminal of the second transistor is electrically connected to a first terminal of the third transistor. A first terminal of the fourth transistor is electrically connected to a gate of the second transistor and a first terminal of the first capacitor, and a second terminal of the first capacitor is electrically connected to the input terminal. The first transistor, the second transistor, the third transistor, and the fourth transistor are of the same polarity.
