Abstract

In a matrix array liquid crystal display on silicon with an a.c. drive involving periodic reversal of the potential of the counter-electrode this reversal is liable to produce a significant r.m.s. error voltage at each reversal. The OFF element error voltage is effectively eliminated by blanking all picture elements at the commencement of each reversal, and the ON error voltage more evenly shared by making this reversal occur after a non-integral number of frame scans.
