ACTIVE MATRIX DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A display uses column address circuitry having a plurality of multiplexing switching arrangements (50), each of which is associated with two buffers (46a;46b) for providing selected pixel drive signals. The two buffers provide respective pixel drive signals simultaneously to two adjacent columns, such that the pixel drive signal for one column starts before the end of the pixel drive signal for the column driven previously, and ends after the end of the pixel drive signal for the column driven previously. This enables a reduction in the number of buffers required and reduces the cross talk between column signals for adjacent columns within the group of columns shared by each multiplexing arrangement. This is achieved by ensuring that any capacitive coupling between first and second columns is charged to a static level before the signal on one of the columns is switched off.
