FIG. 1 schematically shows the structure of a guest-host type color matrix display liquid crystal panel utilizing the cholesteric-nematic phase transition effect used in an embodiment for explaining the driving method of the present invention. The front electrode substrate is a glass substrate 1 with a column electrode group 2 attached, and the back electrode substrate is a glass substrate 7.
A row electrode group 6 is attached to the electrode substrate, and these pairs of electrode substrates are assembled in such a manner that the column electrode group and the row electrode group are orthogonal to each other. The surface of the electrode substrate in contact with the liquid crystal 4 is coated with a vertical alignment treatment film (FS150 film, manufactured by Dainippon Ink). The FS150 film is formed by soaking the electrode substrate in a 0.03 weight percent aqueous solution of FS150 for about 30 minutes, drying it, and baking it at 120°C for 15 minutes. The liquid crystal 4 is
Nematic liquid crystal E8 with positive dielectric anisotropy
(manufactured by BDH, UK) and cholesteric liquid crystal cholesteryl chloride in a weight ratio of 9:1, and dichroic dye GR17 is added to this liquid crystal material.
(manufactured by Japan Photosensitive Color Research Institute) is added in an amount of 0.5% by weight. The pair of electrode substrates are assembled so that the liquid crystal layer thickness is 16 μm. When no electric field is applied, liquid crystal molecules are vertically aligned near the electrode substrate surface, but in the bulk,
If the helical axis is perpendicular to the electrode substrate surface, it has a helical structure orientation. In this case, the absorption axis of the dichroic dye molecule is
In the bulk, it is parallel to the electrode substrate surface and has a spiral structure. The incident light is absorbed in a wavelength range specific to the dichroic dye GR-17, and the light reflected by the reflecting plate 8 is observed as a blue-violet color. When a voltage higher than the threshold voltage (10 volts) is applied, the helical structural orientation of the liquid crystal molecules is canceled, and the long axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules is
The dichroic dye is oriented in the direction of the electric field, that is, in a direction perpendicular to the electrode substrate surface, and accompanying this orientation, the absorption axis of the dichroic dye is also perpendicular to the electrode substrate surface. In this case, the incident light is parallel to the absorption axis of the dichroic dye, so
It is not absorbed and the color (white) of the reflecting plate 8 is observed.

Using the electrical signals shown in FIG. 3, the electrical signals applied to each row electrode, each column electrode, and each dot will be described below. A DC rectangular electric signal S1 having a peak value V of 15 volts, a frequency of 100 Hz, and a duty of 1/2 is applied to the row electrode groups except for the i-th row and the column electrode groups except for the j-th column. An electric signal S2 whose phase is 2/3π ahead of the electric signal S1 is applied to the column electrode of the jth column, and an electric signal whose phase is delayed by 2/3π with respect to the electric signal S1 is applied to the row electrode of the jth row. Apply signal S3. When these three types of electrical signals are applied, the dots at the intersections of the row electrode group and the column electrode group have [k-
Electric signals of [l], [k-j], [i-l], and [i-j] are applied. The electric signal [k-l] is applied to the intersection of any k-row electrode and l-column electrode other than the electrodes in the i-th row and j-th column, and the effective voltage is 0 volts. The electric signal [k-j] is i
The voltage applied to the intersection of any k-row electrode and j-column electrode except for the row is shown, but the effective voltage is approximately
It is 12.24 volts. The electric signal [i-l] is i
The voltage applied to the intersection of the row electrode and any l-column electrode except the j-column electrode is shown, but the effective voltage is
It is approximately 12.24 volts. The electrical signal [i-j] is
The effective voltage, shown as being applied to the intersection of the row electrode and the j-column electrode, is approximately 12.24 volts.
As is clear from the above description, an effective voltage of 12.24 volts is applied to each dot on the i-row electrode, the j-column electrode, and at the intersection of the i-row electrode and the j-column electrode, and to each other dot. The voltage applied to is 0 volts. Therefore, by using the driving method according to the embodiment described above, it is possible to display a white cross character in which the intersections are also white on a colored background. Furthermore, since the voltage value applied to each point of the cross is the same, the response characteristics are also almost the same. Further, as is clear from FIG. 3, the voltage value of the electrical signal used is binary, and therefore there is an advantage that the number of circuit elements can be minimized.

The present invention has been explained above using an embodiment, but in the explanation of the embodiment using FIG. be able to. Further, in the embodiment, a DC rectangular wave electric signal was used, but a voltage of 12.24 volts was applied to each dot displayed in a cross display by a driving method using an AC rectangular wave electric signal of ±7.5 volts. be able to. Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, one cross character display has been described, but when multiple cross characters are displayed, electrical signals S3 and S2 are applied to a plurality of row electrodes, respectively.
Just apply. It goes without saying that the liquid crystal material, alignment treatment method, frequency and peak value of the electrical signal used in the examples of the present invention do not limit the scope of the claims of the present invention. Furthermore, the driving method of the present invention is not a driving method that is effective only for a guest-host type color matrix display liquid crystal panel that utilizes the cholesteric-nematic phase transition effect used in the examples, but is also effective for driving electro-optical effects of other liquid crystals. This is also an effective driving method for the matrix display liquid crystal panel used. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electrical signals S1, S2, and S3 are shifted from each other by 2/3π, but even if the phases are shifted slightly larger or smaller than 2/3π, the purpose of the present invention is greatly impaired. Never.
