Abstract:
1. An array substrate for a flat display device comprising: a display unit in which a pixel is placed at each of intersections between a plurality of signal lines and a plurality of scan lines, the signal and scan lines being routed in the form of a matrix; a plurality of output lines configured to output data signals to the signal lines, respectively; a plurality of switches placed between the output lines and the signal lines to connect each output line to n signal lines (n is an integer equal to or greater than two) one after another within one horizontal period; n switch control signal lines configured to supply control electrodes of the switches with control signals for controlling on and off states thereof; and a plurality of electrode patterns configured to connect the control electrode of each switch to any one of the n switch control signal lines, wherein all of the electrode patterns have substantially identical shapes and two-dimensionally overlap all of the switch control signal lines, and areas of all the electrode patterns are substantially identical.
