    Abstract: An LCD includes a first pixel electrode coupled to a first scan line and a data line, and a second pixel electrode coupled to a second scan line and the data line. A first and a second storage capacitor electrode lines are at two sides of the data line and across the scan lines. A first storage capacitor electrode extension line is extended out of the first storage capacitor electrode line and toward the data line, and a second storage capacitor electrode extension line is extended out of the second storage capacitor electrode line and toward the data line. The first pixel electrode and second pixel electrode partly overlap the first and the second storage capacitor electrode extension lines, respectively. Since the storage capacitor electrode line and the scan line is formed on different metal layer, a gap between the storage capacitor electrode line and the scan line is shortened.

  • Publication number: 20110286276
    Abstract: A memory system is programmed with minimal program disturb and reduced junction and channel leakage during self-boosting. Pre-charging bias signals are applied to word lines adjacent to a selected word line before a program signal is applied to the selected word line and a pass signal is applied to the remaining word lines. The pre-charging bias signals apply a pre-charge to the memory cells. The pre-charging bias signals are chosen to improve the isolation of the memory cells on word lines adjacent to the selected word line, improve self boost efficiency and reduce current leakage to prevent or reduce program disturb and/or programming errors especially in the inhibited memory cells on the selected word line.
