Abstract
An integrated line selection apparatus within active matrix arrays is described. The circuit includes multiple gate line drive transistor devices, each gate line drive transistor device having a drain coupled to a gate line of multiple gate lines in a gate line driver circuit coupled to an active matrix array and a source to receive an input signal. The circuit further includes at least one address line transistor device corresponding to each gate line transistor device, each address line transistor device having a drain coupled to a gate of the corresponding gate line drive transistor device and a gate coupled to a corresponding address line, such that by asserting a predetermined combination of voltages on the plurality of address lines, a single gate line of said plurality of gate lines is selected to receive the input signal to be transmitted to a corresponding pixel within the corresponding active matrix array.
