Abstract

An active matrix display in accordance with the present invention includes a plurality of pixels arranged in an array. At least two transistors associated with each pixel are included. The transistors are serially connected to each other and disposed within the array for switching the pixels on and off according to data and gate signals. A data line is coupled to a first end of the serially connected transistors for each pixel. A second end of the serially connected transistors is coupled to a storage device. The serially connected transistors provide multiplexing capability for at least one of data signal multiplexing and gate signal multiplexing.
