The circuits and layouts described herein may be provided in an array of circuits arranged in one or more directions. For example, a visual display a sensor array—in which the circuits and layouts described herein are arranged as a two-dimensional array. each circuit element in the circuit array has a control circuit area and an active element area. The active element area may include a capacitive pixel element, an active pixel element (e.g., LED), a resistive pixel element, or another type of pixel element. Alternatively, the control circuit area and the active element area may be non-overlapping with the active element area formed or mounted adjacent to the control area.
The array may be assembled or built on a backplane substrate, which may be glass, plastic, or other transparent or non-transparent materials. A plurality of data lines may run vertically across the array. The data lines can be used to write/read to each circuit. Pairs of select lines run horizontally across rows of multiple circuits. The intersection of the data lines and the select lines may be in the control area.
