    摘要: A liquid crystal apparatus comprises a liquid crystal device comprising a group of scanning electrodes and a group of signal electrodes intersecting each other to form an electrode matrix, and a chiral smectic liquid crystal disposed so as to form a picture element at each intersection of the scanning electrodes and the signal electrodes. Drive means is also provided for: (a) applying a scanning selection signal and a scanning non-selection signal to the scanning electrodes, the scanning selection signed comprising a voltage of one polarity and and a voltage of the other polarity, respectively with reference to a voltage level of the scanning non-selection signal, and being sequentially applied to the respective scanning electrodes; (b) in a period of applying the one or the other polarity, applying signals including a first signal and a second signal to the signal electrodes for causing the one or another orientation state of the chiral smectic liquid crystal; (c) applying to picture elements a DC bias voltage equal to a voltage difference between the voltage level of the scanning non-selection signal and a voltage applied to a signal electrode not receiving the data signal; and (d) periodically applying the scanning selection signal to the scanning electrodes.

    摘要: A driving method for an optical modulation device comprising matrix picture elements each formed at intersecting points of scanning lines and data lines between which a bistable optical modulation material represented by a ferroelectric liquid crsytal is interposed. The driving method comprises an erasure step of applying a voltage signal orienting the optical modulation material to the first stable state between the scanning and data lines, at all or a part of the matrix picture elements, and a writing step of sequentially applying a scanning selection signal to the scanning lines and applying an information orientation signal orienting the optical modulation material to the second stable state to the data lines in phase with the scanning selection signal.

    摘要: A chiral smectic liquid crystal composition is formed by including at least one species of a mesomorphic compound represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein X denotes F, Cl, Br, CF.sub.3, NO.sub.2 or CN; Y denotes a single bond, ##STR2## --CH.sub.2 O-- or --OCH.sub.2 --; and R denotes a linear or branched alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms optionally substituted. The composition shows improved switching characteristics and, when used in combination with an alignment film providing a high pre-tilt angle, provides an increased contrast at a large drive margin and with little tendency of monostabilization of a memory state.
