Patent ID: 8044700

Claim:
A system for displaying images, comprising: a level shifter operative to transform an input signal having first low and high potential levels into an output signal having second low and high potential levels, the level shifter comprising: a voltage distributor operative to receive the input signal and distribute potential levels at a first node and a second node to respectively output a first signal and a second signal according to the input signal, and the voltage distributor comprising: a current limiter, electrically connected to the first node, operative to provide a limited current passing through the first node; a switch, electrically connected to the first node and the second node, operative to selectively establish an electrical connection between the first node and the second node; and a first transistor having a first electrode, a second electrode, and a first control electrode, wherein the first electrode is connected to the second node, the second electrode is utilized to receive the input signal, and the first control electrode is coupled to the first node; and an output circuit, electrically connected to the voltage distributor, operative to generate the output signal according to the first signal and the second signal provided by the voltage distributor; wherein the second low potential is lower than the first low potential.
