ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING MULTIPLE DEVICE ELEMENTS

摘要

An electronic device comprises a plurality of device elements, each device element being associated with an active matrix switching device (12;32). The switching devices (12;32) are grouped together into one or more regions (24), with switching devices within the or each region being physically packed more densely than the packing density of the device elements. Connecting lines (30) electrically couple each device element to its respective switching device. This provides a layout of the active matrix array in which the active elements (TFTs, MIMs, diodes or other devices) are concentrated together in only certain areas of the active matrix array. This enables the output production rate to be increased.
