Abstract:
1. An active matrix display, comprising: a plurality of data lines; a plurality of select lines; a plurality of pixel circuits each electrically coupled with a data line, a first select line, and a second select line; and a plurality of display elements electrically coupled with the pixel circuits, a display element comprising a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode, wherein the pixel circuits each comprise: a thin film transistor having a gate electrode coupled with the first select line and a source electrode and a drain electrode, one of the source electrode and the drain electrode being coupled with the data line; and a storage capacitor having a first electrode coupled with the other of the source electrode and the drain electrode and a second electrode coupled with the second select line, and wherein the gate electrode of the thin film transistor of a first pixel circuit and the second electrode of the storage capacitor of an adjacent pixel circuit are connected with each other and the entire connected structure of the gate electrode and the second electrode has a straight line shape, and wherein the gate electrode of the thin film transistor of the first pixel circuit does not protrude from the select line.
