Abstract
A structure of a multi-matrix display panel having picture elements arranged in matrix and a multimatrix display system using the matrix display panel are disclosed. Scanning signals are applied to a plurality of row electrodes of the matrix and brightness modulated signals are applied to a plurality of column electrodes of the matrix to control the brightnesses of desired picture elements. The sequence of connection of the column electrodes to the picture elements is reversed from row electrode to row electrode and the sequence of application of drive signals for driving the matrix display panel is also reversed accordingly. The opposing picture elements in two adjacent rows are integrated to reduce the number of picture elements for providing a structure which does not need three-dimensional interconnection of the electrodes or a detoured wiring.
