Abstract

A select line scanner for a liquid crystal display includes a plurality of cascaded stages each having an input terminal and an output terminal. Each stage includes a push-pull output circuit including pull up and pull down transistors driven with separate control signals. A further transistor has its conduction path coupled between the control electrode and a point of potential of sufficient value to turn the pull up transistor off. The control electrode of the further transistor is coupled to an output of a succeeding one of the cascaded stages to insure that the output of the respective stage cannot drift to an on state.
