Abstract:
1. An active matrix type display apparatus comprising: a display area including a first data line and a second data line adjacent to the first data line for transmitting data signals that represent video signals, a plurality of scan lines comprising a first scan line for transmitting a select signal, and a plurality of pixel circuits each comprising a first transistor, a storage element coupled between a gate electrode and a second electrode of the first transistor, a second transistor directly coupled between one of the first data line or the second data line and the gate electrode of the first transistor and having a gate electrode coupled to the first scan line, and a third transistor directly coupled between the one of the first data line or the second data line and a third electrode of the first transistor and having a gate electrode coupled to the first scan line, the plurality of pixel circuits including a first pixel circuit having a first storage element and coupled to the first data line and the first scan line, and a second pixel circuit having a second storage element and coupled to the second data line and the first scan line; a data driver for outputting the data signals to be applied to the first data line and the second data line through a signal line; a scan driver for outputting the select signal to the plurality of scan lines; and a demultiplexer for transmitting the data signals from the signal line to the first data line and the second data line, respectively, and wherein a frame includes a first field and a second field, wherein the select signal is outputted sequentially to the plurality of scan lines during each of the first field and the second field, and the data signal from the first data line is programmed to the first pixel circuit during a first period of the first field so as to be stored in the first storage element, and the data signal from the second data line is programmed to the second pixel circuit during a second period of the second field so as to be stored in the second storage element, the second period positioned in the second field in a position corresponding to the position of the first period in the first field.
