Abstract
A pixel (P) of a display () includes a memory element in a form of a ferroelectric thin film transistor ('TFT') () and a display element () operably coupled to the ferroelectric TFT (). The ferroelectric TFT () is set to a conductive state in response to a conductive row drive voltage and a conductive column drive voltage being applied to the ferroelectric TFT () during a beginning phase of the addressing period for the pixel (P). The ferroelectric TFT () facilitates a charging of the display element () in response a charging row drive voltage and a charging column drive voltage being applied to the ferroelectric TFT () during an intermediate phase of the addressing period for the pixel (P). The ferroelectric TFT () is reset to a non-conductive state in response to a non-conductive row drive voltage and a non-conductive column drive voltage being applied to the ferroelectric TFT () during an ending phase of the addressing period for the pixel (P).
