Patent ID: 8723765

Claim:
A stage circuit comprising: a progressive driver comprising a first transistor coupled between a second input terminal and an output terminal of the stage circuit, a gate electrode of the first transistor being coupled to a first node; a third transistor coupled between the first node and a fifth input terminal of the stage circuit, a gate electrode of the third transistor being coupled to a first input terminal of the stage circuit; a fourth transistor coupled between a second node and a voltage supply terminal, a gate electrode of the fourth transistor being coupled to the fifth input terminal; a fifth transistor coupled between the first node and a second power source, a gate electrode of the fifth transistor being coupled to the second node; and a sixth transistor coupled between a first power source and the second node, a gate electrode of the sixth transistor being coupled to a third input terminal of the stage circuit; and a concurrent driver comprising a second transistor coupled between the output terminal and a fourth input terminal of the stage circuit, a gate electrode of the second transistor being coupled to the second node.
