Patent ID: 7589706

Claim:
A display comprising at least: a data electrode for delivering input data; a scan electrode; said scan electrode delivering at least a first signal and a second signal in operating said display; a first voltage supply VREF; a second voltage supply; a pixel disposed at the intersect of said scan electrode and said data electrode; said pixel comprising: a light emitting element, wherein said light emitting element emits light according to electrical current supplied thereto; a storage element for holding data information, having a first end and a second end; a control circuit for regulating a current directed to said light emitting element according to said data information; and wherein said scan electrode controls the data input from said data electrode to said storage element by carrying said first signal and said second signal; wherein said first signal enables data input, allowing a data signal to be passed from said data electrode to said storage element via said control circuit; and wherein said second signal inhibits data transfer between said data electrode and said storage element, isolating said storage element from external signals; wherein said control circuit further comprises a first conducting channel for conducting electrical current between said data electrode and said scan electrode via said control circuit; wherein, in operating said display, said first conducting channel is enabled by applying said first signal to said scan electrode; wherein, in operation of said display, said first conducting channel is inhibited by applying said second signal to said scan electrode; wherein said first conducting channel, when enabled, provides a direct current path between said data electrode and said scan electrode.
