Abstract

A display cell comprises a liquid-crystal film interposed between two groups of electrodes to which is applied a set of low-frequency voltages in order to produce an optical state "0" at desired points and a set of high-frequency voltages in order to produce an optical state "1" at other predetermined points. In the composite excitation applied to each zone, the low-frequency fraction of excitation exceeds the high-frequency fraction in the "0" display zones and the high-frequency fraction exceeds the low-frequency fraction in the "1" display zones.
