Electronic device and method for driving the same
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising on a substrate:
- a plurality of first capacitors arranged in a matrix pattern having rows and columns, each of the first capacitors including a first electrode and a second electrode opposing the first electrode via a first dielectric layer;
a plurality of second capacitors provided so that there is one second capacitor at least for each row or each column, each of the second capacitors including a third electrode electrically connected to the first electrode and a fourth electrode opposing the third electrode via a second dielectric layer;
a first line whose electrical connection to the first electrode and the third electrode is turned ON/OFF by a first switching element;
a second line electrically connected to the second electrode at least temporarily;
a third line whose electrical connection to the fourth electrode is turned ON/OFF by a second switching element; and
a fourth line whose electrical connection to the fourth electrode is turned ON/OFF by a third switching element.

12. A method for driving an electronic device, the electronic device comprising on a substrate:
-
a plurality of first capacitors arranged in a matrix pattern having rows and columns, each of the first capacitors including a first electrode and a second electrode opposing the first electrode via a first dielectric layer; and
a plurality of second capacitors provided so that there is one second capacitor at least for each row or each column, each of the second capacitors including a third electrode and a fourth electrode opposing the third electrode via a second dielectric layer, the method comprising the step of;
switching a state where the first capacitor and the second capacitor are electrically connected in parallel to each other and another state where the first capacitor and the second capacitor are electrically connected in series with each other from one to another, thereby increasing a voltage being applied between the first electrode and the second electrode.
