Abstract (en)

A pixel circuit (30) for an active matrix display (3) and the corresponding driving method are disclosed. The pixel circuit comprises a selection transistor (Q 1 ), a first storage capacitor (C 1 ), a synchronization unit (202), a second storage capacitor (C 2 ) and a light emitting element (D). During a scan period, image data is written to the first capacitor (C 1 ) where it is stored temporarily. Upon reception of a synchronization signal (CN1), the image data is transferred to the second capacitor (C 2 ) and drives the light emitting element (D). Thus all tight emitting elements (D) are illuminated simultaneously. An additional transistor (Q 2 ) may be provided for discharging the second capacitor (C 2 ) and thereby erasing image data of the previous frame before starting a new light emission phase.
