Active matrix display having storage capacitor associated with each pixel transistor

摘要

A structure for reducing the OFF current of an active matrix display. In the active matrix display, plural TFTs are connected in series with each one pixel electrode. Of these TFTs connected in series, at least one TFT excluding the TFTs located at opposite ends is maintained in conduction. Alternatively, at least one capacitor is connected between the junction of the drain and source of each TFT connected in series and an AC grounded point. Thus, the amount of electric charge released from auxiliary capacitors during cutoff of the TFTs is reduced.
