Active Matrix Temperature Controller Array

摘要

In an array for temperature controlled cells the cells are driven in an active matrix array. A temperature processing array may be employed in biochip, such as underneath a biosensor or underneath reaction chambers. Due to the active matrix complex driver circuitry may be positioned outside the actual array of cells. Each cell is provided with a switch for coupling the cell circuitry to the driver circuitry. When coupled to the driver circuitry, a memory element in the cell circuitry may be provided with a heating setting. Then, the cell circuitry is uncoupled from the driver circuitry and a heating element is controlled to heat the cell in accordance with the setting stored in the memory element.
