Abstract
Improved circuitry for active matrix image arrays which, in one application reduces the number of source or gate lines for a given number of pixels, and in another application extends the dynamic range of the imaging array without reducing the number of source or gate lines. Each circuit includes multiple electrodes per pixel and multiple thin film transistors for switching charge from the pixel electrodes to the data line.
