Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A latch circuit includes an input transistor, a retention capacitor connected between an electrode of the input transistor and a first latch control line, a first transistor having an electrode connected to the first latch control line and a gate connected to the electrode of the input transistor, a second transistor having a gate connected to another electrode of the first transistor and an electrode is connected to the second latch control line, a third transistor having a gate connected to the another electrode of the first transistor and an electrode connected to another electrode of the second transistor and another electrode connected to an output terminal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A latch circuit for receiving and latching data in response to an input scanning signal comprising: a first latch control line receiving a first drive clock; a second latch control line receiving a second drive clock; an input transistor having a gate and first and second electrodes, the first electrode of the input transistor receiving a data signal corresponding to 0 data or 1 data in response to the scanning signal supplied to the gate of the input transis…
