Abstract:
1. An active matrix electroluminescent display, comprising: (a) a matrix of pixels having a column direction and a row direction; (b) a plurality of first scanning lines arranged in the row direction, each corresponding to a respective row of pixels, and a first scanning line drive circuit for controlling the first scanning lines; (c) a plurality of second scanning lines arranged in the row direction, each corresponding to two rows of pixels, and a second scanning line driving circuit for controlling the second scanning lines; (d) a plurality of third scanning lines arranged in the row direction each corresponding to two rows of pixels, and a third scanning line driving circuit for controlling the third scanning lines; (e) a plurality of signal lines arranged in the column direction and a signal line drive circuit for controlling the signal lines; (f) a plurality of power supply lines; (g) each pixel including: (h) means for sequentially: wherein each second scanning line is commonly connected to gate electrodes of the first switching transistors and each third scanning line is commonly connected gate electrodes of the second switching transistors in each pair of pixels of the two rows of pixels that faces each other.
