ABSTRACT:
In a matrix display device, non-linear resistance elements are coupled to each display element for controlling selective activation of display elements in response to drive signals, with each non-linear resistance element comprising sets of rectifying elements formed by thin film deposition which are connected in parallel with one another with opposing polarities. Each set comprise one or more rectifying elements formed of for example PN junctions, PIN junctions, Schottky junctions, etc., using material such as amorphous silicon as a semiconductor material, and the rectifying elements can be disposed in a multilayer configuration in order to reduce the display area occupied, or can be provided with transparent electrodes to positively utilized incident light to enhance current flow.
