<p>A liquid crystal display includes a base plate (26) having a plurality of pixels on a surface thereof with the pixels arranged in an array of spaced rows and columns. Each of the pixels includes a substantially rectangular region (30) of polycrystalline silicon. A separate select line (32) of polycrystalline silicon extends over and across the polycrystalline silicon regions of each row of pixels adjacent one side of the polycrystalline silicon region. The select lines have two extensions (34) extending over and along two opposite sides of each polycrystalline silicon region (30). A layer of a dielectric material (36) extends between the polycrystalline silicon regions and the select lines (32) and the extensions (34) of the select lines. Each of the select lines (32) and its extensions (34) forms a capacitor with the respective polycrystalline silicon region of each pixel. Data lines (38) extend along the rows of the pixels and are electrically connected (44) to each polycrystalline silicon region (30) in its respective column of pixels.</p> |
