Disclosed is a voltage booster or drop circuit. The voltage booster or drop circuit includes: a plurality of diode devices connected in series; a plurality of capacitors, first electrodes of which are connected to connection points of the diode devices, for which a pulse signal is supplied to second electrodes of the capacitors and a raised voltage or dropped voltage is output to the last stage of the diode devices; and pulse generation device. The pulse generation device supplies a first pulse signal to the second electrodes of odd numbered capacitors and supplies a second pulse signal, the phase of which is opposite that of the first pulse signal, to the second electrodes of even numbered capacitors. In a second condition which is different from the first condition, the pulse generation device supplies a third pulse signal to the second electrodes of odd numbered at least one pair of capacitors and supplies a fourth pulse signal, the phase of which is opposite that of the third pulse signal, to the second electrodes of even numbered at least one pair of capacitors.
