Abstract
An active matrix display device comprises an array of picture elements, e.g. liquid crystal picture elements, first and second sets of address conductors ( ) extending in row and column directions respectively and connected with the picture elements, and a set of connection conductors ( ) extending in the same direction as the second set of address conductors ( ), each of which is connected to a respective one of the first set of conductors ( ) at the location of a picture element, and via which address signals are supplied to that first set. Picture elements other than those at the locations of the connections between the connection conductors and first set of address conductors are provided with a capacitance between their picture element electrode and their associated address conductor of the first set in order to compensate for the effects of a parasitic capacitance present between the picture element electrodes and the connection conductors which can lead to anomalies in the display outputs of the picture elements following their addressing.
