Abstract
A display includes a pair of global voltage supply terminals, for providing predetermined voltages, and a plurality of pixel cells. Each pixel cell includes a pixel electrode, a storage element for storing a data bit, and a multiplexer for selectively coupling the pixel electrode with one or the other of the global voltage supply terminals, depending on the value of the stored data bit. A voltage controller asserts predetermined voltages on the global voltage supply terminals, which are then transferred to the coupled pixel electrodes.
