Abstract:
A pixel for a liquid crystal display, the pixel comprising:a capacitor formed by a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between first and second electrodes;first and second nonlinear thin film diodes;a node coupling together (i) said first diode, (ii) said second diode, and (iii) said capacitor;first and a second parallel select lines, said first select line connected to said first diode and said second select line connected to said second diode;a data line oriented perpendicular to said first and second select lines; andeach of said thin film diodes including first and second diode electrodes sandwiching an insulating layer therebetween to form a diode, and wherein said insulating layer includes a carbon nitride alloy wherein about 15-60% of the atoms are nitrogen atoms.
