Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Driver circuits for small liquid crystal displays are usually formed on the same glass as the liquid crystal. Hence, if they are composed of nMOS transistors only, then the production cost can be reduced by eliminating the pMOS process. In this paper, we propose three new nMOS level shifters, which are one of important basic module of the driver circuit, and evaluate their performances by comparing with the previous circuits from the view points of area, delay, power, and tolerance to the variability of threshold voltage. Moreover, based on the comparisons, we propose a new design method to increase the tolerance to the variability of threshold voltage.
