Pixel architecture with the control terminal of a first switch coupled to the control terminal of a second switch and method

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment, a pixel includes at least two switches, each switch having a control terminal and first and second current carrying terminals. The control terminals of the first and second switches are commonly connected together. In accordance with another embodiment, a method for transferring charge from a first switch to a capacitance includes applying voltage to the commonly connected control terminals of the first and second switches.
