A display device includes address decoding circuitry for causing the activation or deactivation of the pixel circuits a row at a time during a cycle containing a plurality of different time windows, wherein each time window has different time values, the total time of activated windows for a given pixel circuit corresponds to the desired brightness of the display element of such circuit, such address decoding circuitry including: i) column select circuitry for providing the activating and deactivating data signals on the data lines; ii) a random access decoder responsive to address signals for providing the select signals on the select lines of a desired row in the matrix; and iii) control circuitry for producing the addresses for the random access decoder and for providing data signals to the column select circuitry so that each pixel is activated for a time corresponding to its desired brightness.
