1. Display apparatus comprising:

  • a planar liquid crystal device including a plurality of (N-1) row electrodes on one side thereof and a plurality of (N-1) column electrodes on an opposing side thereof, said row electrodes overlapping said column electrodes in different spatial planes so as to define an array of M liquid crystal elements;

    said row electrodes being interconnected with said columnn electrodes so that said array is addressable via N row electrodes, where M=(N-1)N/2,the n-th row and n-th colum of said array each containing (N-n) of said elements and one element in common, where n=1,2, . . . (N-n),the x-th column electrode (x=1,2, . . . N-1) being connected to the y-th row electrode, where y=N+1-x, andsignal means connected to said N row electrodes for addressing said elements.
