Display device
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising a nematic liquid crystal material between two substrates, one of which is provided with a matrix of selection electrodes and data electrodes with a pixel at the area of a crossing of the selection electrodes and data electrodes, and at least a switching element and drive means for driving the selection electrodes and data electrodes, the pixel comprising at least three electrodes and the drive means being provided with means for generating, in operation, electric fields in two mutually different directions.

Abstract
Three electrodes (8, 9, 10) per pixel are used instead of the conventional two. In this way, a change of the orientation of LC molecules (3) can be regulated at will so as to obtain faster switching.
