Zusammenfassung:Matrix display device having row electrodes ( 4 ) and column electrodes ( 5 ), an intersection of a row and a column electrode defining a pixel cell ( 1 ) having a pixel cell capacitance ( 8 ), and drive circuits ( 2,3 ). Blind energy used for charging the pixel cell capacitances ( 8 ) when driving the pixel cells ( 1 ) is not dissipated but stored into a buffer capacitor ( 6 ) through an inductor ( 7 ) forming a series inductor-capacitor circuit and subsequently recovered by discharging the buffer capacitor ( 6 ) into the pixel cell capacitances ( 8 ) through a current source ( 13 ). Energy recovery is thus current driven, which allows to control the light reflected or emitted by the pixel cell ( 1 ) in a manner which is less dependent on temperature variations and/or ageing of the device.
