Abstract

In a picture display device driven with an active matrix the voltage across the picture elements is accurately adjusted by discharging or charging the associated capacitances, if necessary, first to beyond the transition range in the transmission/voltage characteristic. Redundancy is advantageously used in the switching units employed for this purpose.
