Abstract

A method of line-by-line scanning liquid crystal dots at the intersections of signal and scanning lines arranged in a matrix form, a signal including a selective voltage enough to excite the liquid crystal dot into illumination and a bias voltage for averaging a cross talk voltage is applied to the signal line. The duration time or pulse width of the selective voltage may be varied in accordance with a desired tone level, so that a display with tone can be achieved while the cross talk voltage is averaged.
