ABSTRACT:
A liquid crystal display apparatus has a display section for displaying an image or other data. The display section including scanning electrodes and signal electrodes which are arranged to cross each other to form a matrix of pixels, and a ferroelectric liquid crystal filling the gap between the scanning electrodes and the signal electrodes. The ferroelectric liquid crystal has first stable states in alignment with the direction of an electric field. The apparatus has a circuit for applying a reset pulse (A) to a selected scanning electrode so as to reset all the pixels on the scanning electrode into the first stable state, and a circuit for applying at least writing pulse (B to D) following the reset pulse so as to write the data in such a sequence that the writing into the pixel having the highest inversion threshold level is conducted first. The apparatus also has a control circuit for controlling the timing of application of the pulses in such a manner that a time interval not shorter than a relaxation time, which is the time required for the liquid crystal to be set again to a state exhibiting the same inversion threshold value as that exhibited before the application of the immediately preceding pulse, is preserved between successive pulses.
