ACTIVE MATRIX DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A display has circuitry (50) which generates all possible pixel drive signal levels on separate signal level lines. A buffer (54) is associated with each signal level line. The outputs of the buffers are selectably switchable onto the columns. The signal levels for each column are stored in a memory (72) and the buffers are controlled in dependence on the stored signal levels. The response of the buffers is heavily dependent on the output load, and there is a very large variation in the output load of the buffers (54), as a function of the number of columns to which the buffer output is to be provided. The buffers are controlled in dependence on stored signal levels to ensure stability of the buffers for any output load.
