Abstract

A drive voltage generating circuit outputs drive signals having voltage levels which is controlled by a second control signal is disclosed. A drive voltage generating circuit according to the present invention comprises drive output terminals for outputting drive signals having voltage levels, a bias circuit having a first voltage terminal to be applied to a first voltage and a second voltage terminal to be applied to a second voltage. The bias circuit produces voltage signals having the drive voltage levels. A drive voltage generating circuit according to the present invention further comprises a switching circuit having input terminals coupled to the bias circuit, output terminals coupled to the drive output terminals and a control terminal receiving a first control signal, a bias potential control circuit coupled between the second voltage terminal and a third voltage terminal to be applied to a third voltage. The bias potential control circuit includes a first voltage control circuit controlling a resistance value between the second and third voltage terminals in response to contrast data signals and a second voltage control circuit controlling the resistance value between the …
