Abstract:
An active matrix display device, comprising:a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines formed on a substrate so as to be mutually perpendicular;a plurality of pixels arranged at intersections of said gate lines and said data lines;a plurality of first thin film transistors formed on said substrate and arranged at intersections of said gate lines and said data lines, said plurality of first thin film transistors serving as switching devices for driving said plurality of pixels;a first driving circuit formed of second thin film transistors on said substrate for outputting selection pulses selecting each gate line;a second driving circuit formed of second thin film transistors on said substrate for outputting selection pulses selecting each data line; andwherein at least one of said first driving circuit and said second driving circuit includes an address counter for counting a number of clock signals inputted from an external time generator and for sequentially outputting an address signal as parallel bit data simultaneously to a plurality of address lines, further including an address decoder for each of said gate lines and/or data lines for decoding said address signal and sequentially outputting the respective selection pulses, and each said plurality of address lines connected to each address decoder.
