Abstract

A holding latch with level shifting function is proposed for power and cost effectiveness with low temperature polycrystalline silicon technology on the glass backplane. Layout area and power consumption of the proposed circuit are reduced by 10% and 52% compared with those of the typical structure which combines a static D-latch and a cross coupled level shifter for 2.2" qVGA panel, respectively.
