Abstract:
A display comprising:a first electrode substrate having scan lines, data lines intersecting the scan lines, pixel electrodes formed at the intersections of the scan and data lines, respectively, and first switches each inserted between the corresponding data line and pixel electrode, each of the first switches being turned on and off in response to a scan signal supplied from the corresponding scan line, and when turned on, electrically connecting the corresponding data line to the corresponding pixel electrode so that video data from the data line is written into the pixel electrode; a second electrode substrate having a common electrode that faces the pixel electrodes with a predetermined gap between them; a display layer held between the first and second electrode substrates; a data driver for supplying video data to the data lines; and a scan driver for sequentially supplying a scan signal to the scan lines, wherein the first electrode substrate has: digital memories electrically connected to the pixel electrodes, respectively, and holding video data supplied from the data lines; and second switches each inserted between the corresponding pixel electrode and digital memory, to control conduction between the pixel electrode and the digital memory, wherein: each of the second switches consists of two switch elements for connecting the output terminal and inverted output terminal of the corresponding digital memory to the corresponding pixel electrode, the two switch elements being connected to the memory control lines, respectively.
