An active matrix color sequential liquid crystal display has an active matrix circuit, a counterelectrode panel and an interposed layer of liquid crystal. The active matrix circuit has an array of transistor circuits formed in a first plane. Each transistor circuit is connected to a pixel electrode in an array of pixel electrodes having a small area. The counterelectrode panel extends in a second plane that is parallel to the first plane, such that the counterelectrode panel receives an applied voltage. The liquid crystal layer is interposed in a cavity between the two planes. In a preferred embodiment, an oxide layer extends over the pixel electrode array. The oxide can have a first thickness in a peripheral region around the array of the pixel electrodes and a thinner second thickness in a pixel electrode region extending over the array of pixel electrodes.
A method of controlling an active matrix display having an array of transistor circuits formed in a first plane, each transistor circuit being connected to a pixel electrode in an array of pixel electrodes, and a counterelectrode panel extending in a second plane that is parallel to the first plane, there being a layer of liquid crystal between the first plane and the second plane, the method comprising:
