In Example 1 and Example 3 described above, the control signal given to the gate for enabling conduction (ON) or non-conduction (OFF) of the transistor 130 requires an amplitude of from ?5 V to 8 V. When the control signal having an amplitude of from ?5 V to 8 V is generated directly from the control circuit 114, it is reasonable to embed the control circuit 114 in another IC having high breakdown voltage. Moreover, by providing a level shifter converting an amplitude of from 0 V to 5 V to an amplitude of from ?5 V to 8 V on the element substrate 10 of the liquid crystal panel 110, the control circuit 114 can be embedded in the driving IC 103. By providing such a level shifter on the element substrate 10 side, the driving IC 103 can be reduced in size and power consumption as a who.
