ABSTRACT:
A matrix display device includes a first electrode plate having thereon a group of display scanning electrodes and a frame scanning electrode outside the display scanning electrodes, a second electrode plate having thereon a group of display data electrodes and a frame data electrode outside the display data electrodes, and a liquid crystal having a memory characteristic disposed between the first and second electrode plats so as to form a display region defined by an overlapping of the display scanning electrodes and the display data electrodes and a frame region outside the display region defined by the frame scanning electrode and the frame data electrode. The liquid crystal is allowed to assume either one of two stable states at each pixel formed at each intersection of any data electrode and any scanning electrode. The matrix device is driven by applying a signal waveform K to the frame region having a wider signal range (margin) for providing one of the two stable states of the liquid crystal than waveforms L and M applied to the display region (FIGS. 5, 6) or by applying different drive signals P' and Q' (FIG. 21) to the frame data electrodes on both outsides 103d and 103e (FIGS. 2A, 2B).
