According to one embodiment, a display panel includes scanning lines, signal lines, a pixel switching element, a pixel electrode, and a first control switch including first control switching elements. Each of the first control switching elements is composed of a transistor and includes a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode.

The drain electrodes of the first control switching elements are electrically bundled and are connected to power source voltage output terminal of the first control switch.

A display device is provided. The display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a patterned electrode, a switch unit, and a liquid-crystal layer doped with a chiral dopant. The second substrate is disposed corresponding to the first substrate, and the patterned electrode is disposed on the first substrate or the second substrate. The switch unit is disposed adjacent to the patterned electrode. The liquid-crystal layer doped with the chiral dopant is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. In addition, an edge of the patterned electrode that is closest to the switch unit has an open area and a closed area, wherein the open area is adjacent to the closed area, and the patterned electrode extends a connecting portion out from the closed area and the connecting portion is connected to the switch unit.

Resistive bridges can connect many ring electrodes in an electro-active lens with a relatively small number of buss lines. These resistors are usually large to prevent excessive current consumption. Conventionally, they are disposed in the same plane as the ring electrodes, which means that the ring electrodes are spaced farther apart or made discontinuous to accommodate the resistors. But spacing the ring electrodes farther apart or making them discontinuous degrades the lens's optical quality. Placing the ring electrodes and resistors on layers separated by an insulator makes it possible for the ring electrodes to be closer together and continuous with resistance high enough to limit current consumption. It also relaxes constraints on feature sizes and placement during the process used to make the lens. And because the resistors and electrodes are on different planes, they can be formed of materials with different resistivities.
