Abstract

An electro-optical display device which comprises a twisted nematic liquid crystal layer and a photo-conducting layer. Two crossed electrode assemblies allow the liquid crystal to be made transparent at the points to be displayed. The light which passes at these points makes the photo-conductor conducting which applies the whole of the voltage to the liquid crystal and gives greater rapidity of inscription and a memory effect.
