Patent ID: 6956552

Claim:
A method for driving a display having a first and second display cell, each of which comprises a transistor and capacitor, the capacitor of the second display cell being coupled to a gate of the transistor of the first display cell, the method comprising the steps of: floating the gates of the transistors of the first and second display cell; applying a first voltage level to the gate of the transistor of the first display cell to turn on the transistor of the first cell and keeping the gate of the transistor of the second display cell floated; applying a second voltage level to the gate of the transistor of the first display cell to turn off the transistor of the first display cell and the first voltage level to the gate of the transistor of the second display cell to turn on the transistor of the second display cell; and floating the gate of the transistor of the first display cell and applying the second voltage level to the gate of the transistor of the second display cell to turn off the transistor of the second display cell.
