Patent ID: 8279145

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a substrate; a first layer comprising an array of row electrodes formed in rows across the substrate in a first direction; a second layer comprising an array of column electrodes formed in columns across the substrate in a second direction different from the first direction, the row and column electrodes overlapping to form pixel locations; one or more layers of light-emitting material formed between the row and column electrodes to form a two-dimensional array of pixels, the pixels being located in the pixel locations; a plurality of row driver chiplets and a separate plurality of column driver chiplets distributed relative to the two-dimensional array of pixels, each row driver chiplet exclusively connected to and controlling an independent set of row electrodes, each column driver chiplet exclusively connected to and controlling an independent set of column electrodes; circuitry in each row driver chiplet for controlling the row electrodes; and circuitry in each column driver chiplet for controlling the column electrodes, wherein the circuitry in each row driver chiplet is configured for lower data rates than the circuitry in each column driver chiplet.
