1. An active matrix electro-optic display device comprising an electro-optic material sandwiched between opposing walls, at least one of which is transparent, on one of the walls:
- an array of pixel electrodes;
a switch associated with each pixel electrode, and an array of row and column electrodes interconnecting the pixel electrodes via the switches, the pixel electrodes being diamond-like shaped and arrayed in a close-packed arrangement;
characterized in that;
each column electrode extends between and is common to two columns of pixels and their associated switches; and
the column electrode-switch connections alternate sequentially between pixel columns.

Abstract
An active matrix liquid crystal display device has diamond-shaped pixels arrayed in a close-packed arrangement, and interconnected by row and column electrodes which zigzag between the pixels, each column electrode extending between and being common to two columns of pixels and their associated thin film switches, and the column electrode-switch connections alternating sequentially between pixel columns.
