WHAT DOES ACTIVE-MATRIX MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Active matrix

Active matrix is a type of addressing scheme used in flat panel displays. In this method of switching individual elements of a flat panel display, each pixel is attached to a transistor and capacitor which actively maintain the pixel state while other pixels are being addressed. This is to be contrasted with the older passive matrix technology in which each pixel must maintain its state passively, without being driven by circuitry. The active matrix technology was invented by Bernard J. Lechner at RCA and first demonstrated as a feasible device using thin-film transistors by T. Peter Brody and his Thin-Film Devices department at Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1974, and the term was introduced into the literature in 1975. Given an m × n matrix, the number of connectors needed to address the display is m + n. Each pixel is attached to a switch-device, which actively maintains the pixel state while other pixels are being addressed, which also prevents crosstalk from inadvertently changing the state of an unaddressed pixel. The most common switching devices use Thin Film Transistors, i.e.

Definition of active-matrix in the English dictionary

The definition of active-matrix in the dictionary is of or relating to a liquid crystal display in which each pixel is individually controlled to provide a sharp image at a wide viewing angle; it is used in laptop and notebook computers.
