Patent ID: 8760376

Claim:
A display device comprising: a plurality of pixels, each of the pixels comprising: an electrode; a storage capacitor electrically connected to the electrode; a liquid crystal element above the electrode; n×m memory circuits, n and m being natural numbers equal to or greater than 2; a source signal line; n gate signal lines; and n thin film transistors, each having a gate electrically connected to a corresponding one of the n gate signal lines, one of a source and a drain electrically connected to the source signal line, and the other of the source and the drain electrically connectable to m of the n×m memory circuits, wherein the n thin film transistors are each electrically connectable to the electrode via a corresponding one of the n×m memory circuits so that the corresponding one of the n×m memory circuits can be connected in series between the electrode and a corresponding one of the n thin film transistors, and wherein the display device is configured so that the n×m memory circuits are each configured to store a corresponding bit of an n-bit digital gray scale signal corresponding to one of m frame periods.
