Patent ID: 8164944

Claim:
A driver circuit, comprising: a memory cell including a single data terminal, the memory cell configured to receive data for driving an element via a single data line and then store the data therein, the memory cell being formed of a first inverter having a first output terminal and a first input terminal and a second inverter having a second output terminal and a second input terminal, the first output terminal being connected to the second input terminal and the second output terminal being connected to the first input terminal; a series circuit of a first switch and a second switch, the series circuit being located in the single data line and connected to the single data terminal so that the data is directed into the memory cell through the series circuit; and a supply voltage controller for supplying a first supply voltage to the first inverter and second inverter while the data is being written into the memory cell and a second supply voltage to the first inverter and second inverter after the data has been written into the memory cell.
