Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0278194A1] According to the invention, the display device comprises at least one layer having an electrooptical property with memory effect, flanked by a first (12) and a second family (18) of electrodes. The display device further comprises a generator able to generate several dephased voltages. At least one of the families (12) of electrodes is subdivided into at least two sub-families of parallel electrodes receiving respectively sustaining voltages which are phase-shifted relative to one another. This results in a noticeable reduction in electrical consumption, an improvement in manufacturing efficiency, the possibility of producing display devices of larger size and the increasing of the speed of writing an image, etc. <IMAGE>
