Abstract:
1. A method applied on an active matrix display, the active matrix display including a matrix of pixel elements wherein a pixel element includes at least one switching transistor, at least one nonlinear element, and at least one capacitive element, the method comprising: creating multiple rows of enabled pixel elements from non-enabled pixel elements and maintaining the enabled pixel elements with a duration of a predetermined time period, wherein the creating comprises driving a semiconductor channel of the at least one switching transistor in an enabled pixel element into a conducting state, wherein an enabled pixel element maintains a semiconductor channel of the at least one switching transistor in the enabled pixel element at a conducting state, and wherein a non-enabled pixel element maintains a semiconductor channel of the at least one switching transistor in the non-enabled pixel element at a non-conducting state; selecting a row of pixel elements in the multiple rows of enabled pixel elements to create a plurality of selected pixel elements while keeping remaining pixel elements in the multiple rows of enabled pixel elements as non-selected pixel elements and keeping pixel elements located in rows other than the multiple rows as non-enabled pixel elements during a sub-time-period that is a fraction of the predetermined time period, wherein the selecting comprises driving the at least one nonlinear element in a selected pixel element into a conducting state while maintaining a semiconductor channel of the at least one switching transistor in the selected pixel element at a conducting state, and wherein a non-selected pixel element maintains the at least one nonlinear element thereof at a non-conducting state; and charging the at least one capacitive element in a selected pixel element.
