Abstract
The disclosure is related to head-to-head (H2H) gate on arrays (GOA) for pixel-based displays that may have reduced dimensions. In the described embodiments, the H2H design with alternate logic may be used to drive groups of pixels (e.g., a pixel row or column) with a primary and a secondary driver, located in opposite ends of the bezel of the electronic device. In the alternate-logic design, a shared shift-register may be used to enable two rows or columns. Embodiments in which more than two rows or columns are controlled by a single shift register are also described.
