Abstract
A contrast adjustment circuit for a liquid crystal display which is connected, when to be used, to an electronic apparatus such as a computer. The contrast adjustment circuit comprises an adjustment voltage supply circuit provided in an electronic apparatus, a reference voltage generation circuit provided in the liquid crystal display for generating a reference voltage substantially equal in absolute value to a contrast peak voltage of the liquid crystal display, and an operational amplifier for comparing the reference voltage and an adjustment voltage and supplying a voltage difference between the reference voltage and the adjustment voltage to a driving voltage input terminal of the liquid crystal display.
