摘要： The object of the invention is to provide a drive method suitable for driving a fast-responding STN liquid crystal display device which ensures a minimized cross talk and improved contrast in display. The drive method comprises a memory means for storing display data corresponding to a plurality of lines, a function generating means for generating a drive function for the row electrodes, an arithmetic means for computing the outputs from the foregoing means, a column electrode drive means for driving the column electrodes in dependency on the output from the arithmetic means, and a row electrode drive means for driving the row electrodes in accordance with respective row electrode drive functions. As a voltage function to be applied to each row during drive operation, a sum of a plurality of orthogonal functions is utilized. Thereby, degradation in contrast due to display patterns as well as the cross talk can be minimized. Further, arithmetic operation can be simplified in gradation display since application of a compensating voltage waveform is no more required.

摘要： A reflective liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal cell formed by laminating upper and lower orientation layers 11 and 21, upper and lower electrodes 14 and 24, upper and lower substrates 12 and 22, and upper and lower polarizers 13 and 23 arranged in order above and below a liquid crystal layer 10 so that they may face their counterparts respectively. The liquid crystal cell is provided with viewing angle dependence so that the light transmission ratio of the dark display section to the bright display section for the light incident at the required angle may be less than 2 at the required azimuth angle of the liquid crystal cell, and the direction of the required azimuth angle is aligned with the direction of the main light source incident into the liquid crystal cell.

摘要： The polarizer of the present invention is composed of mediums having different refractive indices, by which ordinary light in incidented light is wholly reflected at a boundary between laminated medium I and medium II and extraordinary light is transmitted through the medium II. The medium II is so arranged as to be almost 45.degree. to the light axis, and thickness of the medium II is selected as a value with which the medium II works as a half wave length plate to the transmitting light. The polarizer, which has high transparency by reduction of absorption and is able to make most of incident light be similarly polarized light, is obtained. A polarizer for and apparatus for bright liquid crystal display, which is able to be enlarged to a large size display without light absorption, can be provided.
