Abstract

A drive circuit for a thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel includes an odd side N-ch high voltage MOS driver, and an odd side P-ch high voltage MOS driver connected to odd number scanning electrodes of the thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel. Even number scanning electrodes of the thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel are connected to an even side N-ch high voltage MOS driver and an even side P-ch high voltage MOS driver. The four MOS drivers are effectively controlled to perform an alternating current driving of the thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel. A source level switching circuit is connected to the odd side and even side N-ch high voltage MOS drivers so as to switch the source voltage in synchronization with the field driving of the thin-film electroluminescent (EL) matrix display panel.
