Abstract (en)
In a multiplex driving method of a matrix type liquid crystal electro-optical device comprising a liquid crystal layer provided between a first substrate carrying row electrodes (X1, X2,...) and a second substrate carrying column electrodes (Y1, Y2,...) wherein said row and column electrodes define a matrix of pixels, said row electrodes are divided into groups and, during a selection period, the row electrodes of one group are simultaneously selected by applying a respective row voltage waveform to each of them while applying a non-selection voltage to the row electrodes of all other groups. The groups are sequentially selected. The row voltage waveforms are composed of a plurality of successive row select pulses defining a corresponding plurality of successive row select patterns. To each column electrode is applied a respective column voltage determined in response to each row select pattern and display data. The selection period is divided into plural subperiods (t1, t2, t3) and and, when a frame is defined as the time period equal to said selection period times the number of row electrode groups and a picture period comprises a certain number of frames, said column voltages are modulated during said picture period in accordance with gradation information of grey scale display data,. <IMAGE>
