Abstract
This invention concerns active matrix flat displays in which the pixels (10) are placed at the intersections between two mutually-perpendicular sets of conductors known as lines (L1 to LN) and columns (C1 to CM). In the invention, each pixel consists of two capacitors (CON1, CON'1) connected in series and consisting of electro-optical components, this circuit being connected between two control transistors (T1, T'1), these two transistors being connected to a common line (L1) and two different columns (C1, C'1) respectively.
Claims6
An active matrix flat display in which the pixels (10, 10') are placed at the intersection of two mutually-perpendicular sets of conductors known as rows (L1 to LN) and columns (C1 to CM) in which each pixel comprises a pair of capacitors (CON1, CON'1) connected in series and formed by electro-optical components, this pair of capacitors being connected between two control transistors (T1, T'1), these transistors being connected to a common row (L1) and to two different columns respectively (C1, C'1 or C01, C'01, C'01), each individual pixel further comprising an individual counter electrode which is common only to the two capacitors contained in the pixel.
