A data line drive circuit is equipped with a single line driver 300 and
a gate voltage generation circuit 400. The single line driver 300
is constructed such that N groups (where N is an integer 2 or larger) of series
connections of drive transistors 21 to 28 and switching transistors
81 to 88 are connected in parallel. The gate voltage generation circuit
400 includes two transistors 71 and 72 constituting a current
mirror circuit, a drive transistor 73, and a constant voltage generation
transistor 31. The range of an output current Iout can be controlled
by changing any of the design values of the parameters including: relative values
Ka and Kb of the gain coefficient for the transistors 31
and 32, the source voltage VDREF of the gate voltage generation circuit
400, and the gate signal VRIN of the drive transistor 73.
