<p>The present invention relates to a signal driver circuit for driving a liquid crystal display panel. The signal driver circuit provides level shifting within the circuit to lower the power consumption of a liquid crystal display module while still providing a wide analog voltage range to the liquid crystal display elements. The decoding circuits utilize a strand of abutting decode input transistors which are connected in series. Further to reduce the physical size of the decoding circuits, multiple decode circuits may share circuitry that decodes the most significant bits of a data word. A cell layout is utilized such that the most significant bits data are bused into cell through metal lines and the least significant bits are bused in polysilicon that also operates as the gate of the decode input transistors. Moreover, the decode cell input transistors may all be of the same conductivity type.</p> |
