A circuit configuration is simplified to enable a color display of a high
aperture ratio and multiple gradations to have no malfunctionA first
transistor pair composing a first inverter and a second transistor pair
composing a second inverter, while bridging alternating power sources
.phi.p and .phi.n, are caused to act as an output circuit to a pixel
electrode. Diodes D1 and D2 having the same forward direction as the
conduction direction of the first transistors are inserted into the
series circuit of the first transistor pair, and the common node of the
diodes is connected with the output of a switching transistor. A
capacitor is connected between a common node of control electrodes of the
second transistor pair and a series connection intermediate node of the
second transistor pair so that the written state of data is controlled by
making use of charges stored in the capacitor.
