  • Patent number: 7423619
    Abstract: The present invention provides an array of pixels, each pixel comprising: a pixel element, a pixel refresh circuit, a first memory element and a first switch element. Each pixel element comprises a first pixel electrode for individual control of the pixel element and a second pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode linking substantially all pixel elements in the array and being connected to a common counter-electrode. The first and second pixel electrode form a first capacitor. The pixel element has a threshold voltage and a modulation voltage. The pixel refresh circuit is intended for transferring electric charge related to a pixel data value from a data input of the pixel to the first pixel electrode via a charge transfer path. The first memory element is coupled to the pixel data input for storing electric charge related to the pixel data value.
