Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit for driving a liquid crystal display, capable of improving the quality of an image displayed by preventing an imbalance between the outputs of a pair of amplifiers for positive voltage and negative voltage for AC driving of the liquid crystal panel and transmission of noise from one amplifier to the other amplifier is realized. A driver circuit that generates and outputs dive signals to be applied to signal lines of the liquid crystal panel includes decoder circuits, each of which selects a gray-scale voltage corresponding to image data. It also includes amplifiers for positive voltage which perform impedance conversion of positive voltages selected by the decoder circuits and amplifiers for negative voltage which perform impedance conversion of negative voltages selected by the decoder circuits. Furthermore, it includes an AC output section consisting of switch circuits, each of which alternately conducts an output of each amplifier for positive voltage to one of two adjacent output terminals and an output of each amplifier for negative voltage to the other one of the two adjacent terminals and vice versa. Two pairs of supply voltages having the same potential difference are generated as supply voltages to the amplifiers for positive voltage and the amplifiers for negative voltage and supplied through separate power supply lines.
