<p>An active matrix LCD using two-terminal non-linear elements as switching elements is disclosed. This new kind of active matrix LCDcomprises a matrix of pixel elements, and each pixel element comprises a first two-terminal non-linear element (5), a second two-terminal non-linear element (5'), and a capacitor (8) for holding the voltage on the LCD cell. When both the first and the second two-terminal non-linear elements are in the conducting state, the voltage on the capacitor (8) can be changed. When both the first and the second two-terminal non-linear elements are in the non-conducting state, the voltage on the capacitor (8) can be maintained. To improve the display uniformity of an active matrix LCD based on two-terminal non-linear elements, the display characteristics of each pixel are measured and stored in a calibration memory (70), and the correct driving parameters for each pixel are calculated based on the display characteristics of the pixel fetched from the calibration memory (70). Finally, the correct driving parameters for each pixel is used to drive the active matrix LCD. The correct driving parameters for each pixel can be stored in a video memory (80).</p> |
