When a data processing circuit is formed on an insulating substrate by using
TFTs, it is difficult to process a data signal having a high data rate, such as
digital display data, at a high speed.
In a data processing circuit formed on an insulating substrate by using TFTs,
a data signal having a small voltage amplitude input in series is increased in
level to a data signal having a large voltage amplitude by a level shift circuit
(11), the serial data signal having the large voltage amplitude is converted
to parallel data signals by a serial-parallel conversion circuit (12), and
then, the parallel data signals are reduced in level to data signals having a small
voltage amplitude by level shift circuits (13A and 13B). Therefore,
high-speed processing can be applied to digital data signals at a low power consumption.
