Provided is a level shift circuit capable of avoiding breakdown due to level shift operation. The level shift circuit includes: a floating power supply having one end connected to an output terminal; a circuit configured to receive a voltage of the floating power supply, a voltage of a low level power supply and first and second pulse signals from a pulse generating circuit, thereof to output first and second signals; and a logic circuit configured to receive first and second signals, thereby converting a signal that is input to the pulse generating circuit into a signal that fluctuates between a voltage at the one end of the floating power supply and a voltage at the other end thereof to output the converted signal.
