Now the paper size as shown is suitable for the financial sector (CNS) (2 丨 Qx297 Gongdong) 319861 at B7 V. Description of the invention ( 3) With reference to the drawings, the Chinese implementation is taken as reference: FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the first Chinese implementation of the addressable matrix display according to the present invention; FIG. 2 is the second Chinese implementation of the addressable matrix display according to the present invention Figure 3 is a partial display diagram of the third preferred implementation of the addressable matrix display according to the present invention. Detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention Referring to FIG. 1, an addressable matrix display is coupled in the form of a liquid crystal display 1 to related buffers and drive circuits 2, 3, 4. The liquid crystal display 1 includes a majority of horizontal address lines TA1 to TA6, a majority of vertical address lines LA1 to LA6 and a majority of second vertical address lines 1A7 to LA12. The relevant bit lines are aligned display elements 5, and each element is formed as a common electrode on a continuously conductive transparent plate 7. The liquid crystal display includes a transparent glass plate 6 which is isolated parallel to the plate 7. The display element 5, the address lines LA1 to LA6, TA1 to TA6 and the thin film transistor 9 are all mounted on the glass plate 6. The source of each transistor 9 is connected to the individual display element 5. Printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) As technically known, nematic liquid crystal materials are sealed between plates 6, 7 and polarized materials are coated on plates 6, One or both of "7". In addition, 6, 7 are equipped with adjustment layers as known in the art. One half of the display element 5 is located in a group of the area A1 of the display and one half of the display element is located in a group of the area A 2 of the display. The first longitudinal address lines L A 1 to L A6 are aligned with the row and are coupled to the gate of the transistor 9 of the same row. -6- This paper scale is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 public dish) A7 B7 V. Description of invention (4) — the same 'second longitudinal address line L A7 to LA 1 2 align in the row And coupled to the gate of the transistor 9 in the same course. The opposing 'lateral address lines TA1 to TA6 are aligned in the columns and each column is coupled to the drains of all transistors in all two columns. Moreover, one of these columns is in the area A1 and the other column is in the area 8-2. In use, the 'light source (not shown) emits light between the plates 6, 7 and enters the display 1' nematic liquid crystal material and the display element 5 as known to those skilled in the art to modulate the light of the sheet to provide a visual display. The addressing of the element 5 is based on the signals provided along the address lines TA1 to TA6, LA1 to LA12. For example, if the element 5 a is to be addressed, then T a 1 is placed at an appropriate voltage and LA6 is also placed at an appropriate voltage. Alternatively, if element 5b is to be addressed, TA1 is placed at an appropriate voltage and LA12 is also placed at an appropriate voltage. Referring to FIG. 2, a second preferred implementation of the addressable matrix display 10 is shown. The array display 10 is almost the same as the display of FIG. 1. Therefore, to avoid repetition, only the different parts are explained. Printed by the Consumer Labor Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) As shown, the display array 10 is coupled to the relevant buffer and moving circuit 11 ’12’ 13. The liquid crystal display 1 includes a combination of a majority of horizontal address lines TA1 to TA6 'majority of first vertical address lines LA1 to LA7 and a majority of second vertical address lines LA8 to LA14. Half of the display elements 5 are located in the group of the display area A1 and half of the display elements are located in the group of the display area A2. The first longitudinal address lines LA1 to LA7 are aligned in a column and coupled to the drain of the transistor 9 in the same column. Similarly, the second column address lines LA 8 to LA 14 are aligned into columns and are coupled to the same column. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) A7 B7 319861 V. Invention Description (5) The drain of crystal 9. In contrast, the lateral address lines TAI to TA6 are aligned in rows and each row is coupled to the gates of all transistors in the two rows. Moreover, these columns are in the area A1 and the rest in the area A2. When the present invention is used, a light source (not shown) emits light into the display 1 between the plates 6 and 7. The nematic liquid crystal material and the display element 5 modulate the sheet light as known to those skilled in the art to provide a visual display. The addressing of the element 5 in FIG. 1 is determined by the signals provided along the address lines TA1 to TA6, LA1 to L A 1 2. For example, if element 5a is to be addressed, then TA1 is placed at an appropriate voltage and LA6 is also placed at an appropriate voltage. Another case 'If the element 5b is to be addressed, then TA1 is placed at an appropriate motor and L A 12 is also placed at an appropriate electrical |. FIG. 3 shows a part of the third preferred embodiment. This embodiment is similar to the embodiment of FIG. 2 except that the transistor 9 and the element 5 are replaced with passive display elements 16. An example of such a passive element known in the art is a super twisted nematic liquid crystal display element. As a result, when the element 16 is addressed, a 6 volt potential is applied to the current LA1 to LA14 lines and zero volts are applied to the appropriate TA1 to TA6 lines. The present invention requires fewer connections between the drive circuits 2, 3, 4 and the address lines than the conventional addressable display having more row elements 5 than columns, and vice versa. For example, each row in the circle 1 includes 14 elements and each column includes 6 elements. Because this configuration requires 19 connections for the moving circuits 2, 3, 4 and the address lines TA1 to TA6 'LA1 to LA12, the normal addressable matrix display requires 26 connections. As a further example, consider the addressable matrix display, which has a horizontal row. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm)
