Abstract:
A matrix-display panel comprising:n row electrodes; m column electrodes disposed perpendicularly with respect to the n row electrodes; an electro-optical material disposed between the row electrodes and the column electrodes; and nÃ—m pixels formed at each intersection of the row and column electrodes together with the electro-optical material, the pixels being arranged in a matrix, wherein: each pixel is divided into a pair of sub pixels; each sub pixel includes a pixel electrode and a semiconductor switching element having a gate electrode for selectively supplying voltages to the sub pixel electrode; and gate electrodes of switching elements corresponding to a pair of sub pixels located along a row electrode are connected to the row electrode, and gate electrodes of switching elements corresponding to a subsequent pair of sub pixels located along the row electrode are connected to an adjacent row electrode, so that all subpixel pairs are connected to the row electrodes in an alternating manner.
