摘要： An information display apparatus which has a liquid crystal display which uses chiral nematic liquid crystal with a memory effect and can be driven by a matrix driving method. The screen of the display is divided along a scanning line into a still picture display area and a motion picture display area. The information display apparatus may have a first display and a second display on one screen. The first display is a reflective type liquid crystal display with a memory effect, which has an advantage of saving energy, and is used exclusively to display a still picture. The second display is a liquid crystal display which requires only a short time for writing. Information to be written in a short time, such as inputted information, is displayed on the second display.

摘要： A display device which has a liquid crystal display which has a plurality liquid crystal pixels arranged in a matrix and which writes an image thereon after resetting the liquid crystal. The method of writing on the liquid crystal display can be selected from driving methods according to interlace scanning in which a frame is divided into a plurality of fields and writing by interlace scanning is performed and driving methods according to sequential scanning in which scanning lines are subjected to writing serially. When high-speed writing is required, for example, when display of a motion picture, display of inputted letters or scroll display is desired, one of the driving methods according to interlace scanning is selected. In interlace scanning, based on the end of a blackout state of a scanning line in a field, selection of a scanning line in the next field for writing is started. Writing on a scanning line comprises a reset step of resetting the liquid crystal, a selection step of selecting the final state of the liquid crystal, an evolution step of stabling the liquid crystal into the selected state, and one of the length of the reset step and the total length of the selection step and the evolution step is n times (n: natural number) the other. For example, when the length of the reset step is n times the total length of the selection step and the evolution step and when a frame is divided into m fields (m: natural number larger than n) for interlace scanning, there is a moment when, in serial m scanning lines, n scanning lines of them are in the reset step, one of them is in the selection step or in the evolution step, and the other m-n-l scanning lines are in a display step.

摘要： This invention is directed to a liquid crystal display apparatus which includes a liquid crystal display element, and a driving device for driving the display element by simple matrix driving. The display element includes a liquid crystal layer exhibiting a cholesteric phase, and has scanning electrodes and signal electrodes. The driving device is configured such that a driving voltage of single polarity including a selection signal voltage is applied to the scanning electrodes in each frame, and the polarity of the driving voltage is reversed in every frame. The selection signal voltage is successively applied to each scanning electrode in a scanning period set for the scanning electrode, while a rewriting signal voltage corresponding to each scanning electrode in the selected state is applied to each signal electrode. An application period of the selection signal voltage to the scanning electrode is ½ the scanning period.
