Abstract:
1. An active matrix display device having a row and column array of picture elements, each comprising a picture element electrode and an associated switching element, carried on a support, first and second sets of address conductors connected to the picture elements and extending in the row and column directions respectively through which the picture elements are addressed, and a set of connection conductor lines carried on the support, each of which extends in the direction of, and between, a respective adjacent pair of the address conductors of one set and is connected to a respective one of the other set of address conductors, and via which addressing signals are supplied to the other set of address conductors, wherein each connection conductor line extends from a side of the array to a connection point at which it is connected to its associated address conductor of the other set, and a complementary conductor line is provided corresponding to each connection conductor line which extends from adjacent the connection point to the opposite side of the array and which is connected to a reference signal source.
