Abstract:
An active matrix display device having an array of picture elements which each comprise a picture element electrode and an associated switching device and which are located at respective intersections between crossing first and second sets of address conductors connected to the picture elements and via which selection and data signals respectively are supplied to the picture elements, the device including a set of connection conductors through which selection signals are provided to the first set of address conductors and each of which extends in the direction of, and between, a respective adjacent pair of address conductors of the second set and is electrically connected to a respective address conductor of the first set at the location of a respective picture element, and in which a parasitic capacitance exists in each picture element between the picture element electrode and a connection conductor, wherein picture elements other than those at the locations of the connections between the connection conductors and the address conductors of the first set are each provided with a supplementary capacitance between their picture element electrodes and their associated address conductors of the first set.
