Abstract: The invention relates to an active matrix of thin-film transistors or TFTs for an optical sensor, comprising a matrix of transistors formed on a substrate comprising a gate, a drain and a source, a set of rows and a set of columns that are connected to the gates and to an electrode of the transistor, respectively, pixel electrodes and, according to the invention, a set of capacitive electrodes lying at the same level as the electrodes of the transistors so as to form, with the pixel electrodes, storage capacitors.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of compensating for the disturbances due to the demultiplexing of an analogue signal with regard to a circuit comprising N data lines, wherein the demultiplexing is carried out by sample-and-hold circuits whose input receives the analogue signal and whose output is connected to one of the N data lines, the N sample-and-hold circuits being operated in succession by a sampling signal (ECHi). During the application of the sampling signal (ECHi, V1) to one of the sample-and-hold circuits, an opposite compensation level (V3) which is lower than the level of the sampling signal is applied to the N?1 sample-and-hold circuits. Application in particular to LCD screens.
Abstract: A process for compensating a circuit including at least one first conductor with a specified potential, at least one second conductor generating disturbances on the first conductor by capacitive coupling, and a first bus with a reference voltage, coupled capacitively to the first conductor. The process includes the following steps: measuring of the current flowing on the first bus upon the application of a voltage to the second conductor; integrating a measured current to obtain a compensation voltage to be applied to the first conductor; and applying the compensation voltage to at least one of the rows via the compensation conductor bus, the compensation bus coupled capacitively to the rows.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for displaying data on a matrix display consisting of N data lines and P selection lines at the intersections of which are situated the image points or pixels. The N data lines are grouped into {dot over (P)} blocks if N? lines where N={grave over (P)}×N?. Each block receives in parallel one of the P? data signals which is demultiplexed on the N? lines of the said block. The scanning of the N? data lines of a block is carried out from 1 to N? or from N? to 1, alternately, according to the selection lines.

Abstract: A display device has an active matrix that includes a plurality of scanners for selection lines, a plurality of scanners for columns, and a supplementary conductive column crossing over the selection lines is capacitively coupled to each of the selection lines in such a way that each corresponding coupling capacitance has a value close to a sum of coupling capacitances formed between a given selection line and columns crossed by the given selection line.
Abstract: The invention concerns an active TFT matrix for optical sensor comprising a substrate, a TFT transistor matrix formed on said substrate, a set of transistor control lines (3): a conductor level (4) according to a specific pattern forming an electrode array (5), each electrode (5) defining a zone called pixel: a set of columns (10) for load transfer between the electrodes (5) and an external electronics. The pixel electrode (5) is located entirely inside an outline delimited by two lines (3) and two successive columns (10), a protective gap (g1, g2) being provided between the inside edge of said outline and the periphery of the pixel (5) such that the pixel electrode (5) does not cover either the lines (3) or the columns (10).
