Another method capacitively couples pulses to the pixel electrodes from gate lines or added row lines 4.

To achieve that, we capacitively couple one edge of a bootstrap pulse directly to the pixel electrode after the pixel has stored the analog voltage supplied by the data driver.

The quantum system formed by capacitively coupling a NEMS resonator to a solid-state qubit has garnered perhaps the most attention from theorists.
Academic text (2006) -
Researchers from RIKEN and NEC have recently shown quantum coherent oscillations in two capacitively coupled charge qubits and demonstrated a working controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate.
Academic text (2005) -
The two circuits are connected capacitively, allowing for efficient energy transfer between them.
-
In our experiment, we observed how the devices interacted capacitively to enhance their performance.

Morphology
capacitively = capacitive (semi-transparent) = capacit + ive + ly
The adverb is transparently formed by adding '-ly' to 'capacitive', but 'capacitive' itself is formed from the combining form 'capacit-' and a technical sense (capacitance) and involves spelling alternations, which may confuse non-technical learners.
Etymology
The word capacitively comes from capacity, which comes from an old word meaning 'able to hold'. Think of a capacitor as a tiny 'container' that 'holds' electric 'charge', so to act capacitively is to work by that holding of electrical charge.
