Abstract
Abstract A common driver circuit for driving a load heavy in a capacitive property such as a common electrode or the like of a liquid crystal panel is composed of the simple circuit construction provided with each circuit of the voltage follower, the low-pass filter, the feedback, the control so that the variation in the direction current component which gives bad influences in the processing of the signals of this type of circuit is restrained to improve the reliability, and the direct current is not required to be cut to eliminate the direct current cutting capacitor of the large capacity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A common driver circuit for driving a load comprising a voltage follower circuit for supplying an output signal for driving said load; buffer amplifier means for driving said voltage follower circuit; adjustable bias setting means for providing an adjustable amplitude of a direct current bias level at said buffer amplifier means; feedback means for controlling the direct current bias level at said buffer amplifier means, said feedback means including a low pass filter connected to the output signal of said voltage follower circuit for detecting a direct current bias level at said output signal; means for providing a reference bias level; and bias setting control means responsive to the detected direct current bias level from said low pass filter and to the reference bias level for varying the adjustable direct current bias set at said buffer amplifier means so as to control the direct current bias level at said output signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
