Patent ID: 7852299

Claim:
A display device comprising: a matrix that includes a plurality of rows and columns of pixels, each pixel including a display element and a driving circuit arranged to drive the display element; a plurality of pairs of control lines, each pair being associated with a row of the pixels and including a first control line and a second control line; and a plurality of data lines, each data line being associated with a column of the pixels, the driving circuit of each pixel comprises: a driving transistor including at least first and second main electrodes and a control electrode, a first switch to close or open a connection between the first main electrode of the driving transistor and the corresponding data line, a second switch to close or open a connection between the first main electrode of the driving transistor to the control electrode, the second switch including first and second switching elements connected in series, and a third switch to close or open a connection between the first main electrode of the driving transistor to the display element of the pixel, the third switch including third and fourth switching elements connected in series, wherein the first control line associated with the row of the pixel is arranged to control the first switch, the first switching element of the second switch and the third switching element of the third switch such that the first switch and the first switching element of the second switch are opened or closed simultaneously and the first switching element of the second switch and the third switching element of the third switch are opened or closed complementarily, and, the second control line associated with the row of the pixel is arranged to control the second switching element of the second switch and the fourth switching element of the third switch.
