Patent ID: 8416222

Claim:
A driving apparatus for driving a pixel, comprising: a first pMOS type transistor connected to a first potential; a first nMOS type transistor connected in series to said first pMOS type transistor and connected to a second potential; and a control section configured to control said first pMOS type transistor and said first nMOS type transistor using separately generated outputs and wherein a first on-signal controls the timing of turning on of one of said first pMOS type transistor and said first nMOS type transistor; a signal of a potential at a node between said first pMOS type transistor and said first nMOS type transistor being inputted as a driving signal for driving the pixel, and further wherein at least one pair of transistors of a driver for generating a transfer signal, a driver for generating a reset signal and/or a driver for generating a select signal are independently controlled by one or more control signals and an output of an address decoder that are separately applied to the transistors of the at least one pair via different combinations of logic gates such that a desired timing adjustment is provided for the transfer signal, reset signal and the select signal, and further wherein at least one of the control signals applied to the transistors for the driver of each of the transfer, reset and select signals is inverted and the signals applied to the transistors for each driver is derived from a corresponding common signal and at least one additional logic gate is used for changing a timing of one of the control signals for each of the transfer signal, reset and select driver transistors.
