Abstract

Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide conservation of charge in a pixel. Charge in the pixel may be alternately stored in a first gate capacitance of the pixel and a second gate capacitance of the pixel. Transferring the charge between the gate capacitances conserves some or all of the charge, and reduces input power used to charge the gate capacitances.
