The subject of the present invention is a shift register for an LCD, the stages of which use the Boostrap [sic] effect and can contain just three M.I.S. transistors, as well as enhancements to this circuit with four or seven MIS transistors. The advantages are the low number of components used, the increase in the lifetime of the shift register and the possibility of working with control signals having an amplitude of 5 or 10 v below that of the output signals.

A race-free shift register device having a plurality of series-connected flip-flop circuits and latch circuits. By a delay circuit, the timing of a clock signal input to each individual flip-flop circuit is delayed with respect to the clock signal input to the associated latch circuit, so that the operating timing of the latch circuit is not delayed with respect to the operating timing of the flip-flop circuit, even if a skew happens to occur in the clock signal. The latch circuit therefore sure...
