US Patent 10091446 Active-matrix displays with common pixel control

An exemplary active-matrix system comprises a system substrate with pixel elements disposed in pixel rows and pixel columns, pixel circuits each controlling two or more of the pixel elements, and row and column lines, at least one of each of which is electrically connected to each pixel circuit. The number of row lines is less than the number of pixel rows, the number of column lines is less than the number of pixel columns, or the number of row lines is less than the number of pixel rows and the number of column lines is less than the number of pixel columns.
