An object of the present invention is, by eliminating a driver IC from the components of an liquid crystal display, to achieve a cost reduction, to eliminate a manufacturing step of mounting the driver IC onto an array substrate, and to reduce a thickness of the liquid crystal display. A driver circuit for an active matrix liquid crystal display comprises a resistive dividing type digital-to-analog converter circuit (DAC). An analog output voltage from the DAC is amplified by a signal amplifier element, and a liquid crystal element is driven by the amplified analog output voltage. The driver circuit is characterized in that a resistance element R is formed in an n+ layer of p-Si on an array substrate of the liquid crystal display, and a switching element Tr and a signal amplifier element are also formed on the array substrate.
