{{Short description|Addressing scheme in flat panel displays}}
'''Active matrix''' is a type of [[Display addressing scheme|addressing scheme]] used in [[flat panel display]]s. It is a method of switching individual elements of a flat panel display, known as [[pixel]]s. Each pixel is attached to a [[transistor]] and [[capacitor]] that ''actively'' maintain the pixel state while other pixels are being addressed, in contrast with the older [[passive matrix]] technology in which each pixel must maintain its state passively, without being driven by circuitry.
