An active matrix display device uses an amorphous silicon drive transistor for driving a current through an LED display element. First and second capacitors are connected in series between the gate and source of the drive transistor, with a data input to the pixel provided to the junction between the first and second capacitors. The second capacitor is charged to a pixel data voltage, and a drive transistor threshold voltage is stored on the first capacitor. This pixel arrangement enables a threshold voltage to be stored on the first capacitor, and this can be done each time the pixel is addressed, thereby compensating for age-related changes in the threshold voltage.
