ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device having an output circuit includes a first field-effect transistor having a source connected to a line from which a first voltage is inputted, and a second field-effect transistor having a source connected to a drain of the first field-effect transistor, a gate connected to a data line from which a level signal is inputted, and a drain connected to an output terminal to which an output signal is outputted. A control unit controls a voltage at a gate of the first field-effect transistor when the second field-effect transistor is in ON state, so that a voltage at the drain of the second field-effect transistor is equal to a second voltage.
