Abstract
An electro-optic device comprising a matrix array of an LCD display element, the device having shared-source adjacent transistors in contiguous rows, thereby reducing the capacitive loading on drivers providing voltage signals which modulate the display elements. In addition, a method is provided for utilizing a matrix design that incorporates non-contiguous, multi-row addressing and shared-source transistors. The device and method provide a display device with large pixel count, yet with high display definition and performance.
