A malfunction is prevented in a driving circuit. A driving circuit in which each of the set side level shift circuit and the reset side level shift circuit has an input transistor, a serial transistor unit which includes a first MOS transistor and a second MOS transistor which are connected in series, the first MOS transistors complementarily operate to each other, the driving circuit further has a set side buffer which compares a level of the set potential with a threshold value depending on the reference potential, and controls the reset side second MOS transistor, and a reset side buffer which compares a level of the reset potential with a threshold value depending on the reference potential, and controls the set side second MOS transistor.
