Abstract

A liquid crystal device of the active matrix-type having two-dimensionally arranged pixels along rows and columns is driven frame by frame. In each frame operation, a scanning selection period (T.sub.G) for each selected row is divided into a first period (t.sub.1) and a second period (t.sub.2). In t.sub.1 of a current frame (T.sub.F2), a reset pulse is applied to a pixel concerned, and the reset pulse is set to have an absolute value of voltage identical to and a polarity opposite to those of a writing pulse voltage applied to the pixel in the previous frame (T.sub.F1). Then, in t.sub.2 of the current frame (T.sub.F2), the pixel is supplied with a writing pulse depending on a prescribed display state of the pixel for the current frame. As a result, the reset period is shortened to favor a high-speed display and a higher resolution display.
