Abstract: A pixel driver circuit having only three conductive layers is described. The pixel driver circuit comprises a vertical driver transistor (26) spanning said three conductive layers, wherein a first of said conductive layers (22) on a first side of a middle conductive layer (32) provides a first source-drain connection (52) of said driver transistor, wherein a third of said conductive layers (34) on the opposite side of said middle conductive layer to said first conductive layer provides a gate connection (54) for said vertical driver transistor, and wherein said middle conductive layer provides a second source-drain connection (50) for said vertical driver transistor. The circuit also comprises a lateral switching transistor (30) with source-drain connections (44,46) in one of said three conductive layers.
