Liquid crystal display system

摘要

In the disclosed liquid crystal display system, one of two opposing base plates that sandwich an electrooptic liquid crystal between them is divided into separate electrodes or constitutes a homogeneous transparent resistance. A source of power energizes this electrode so as to produce a gradient or stepped voltages between the divisions, and a data voltage is applied to the other electrode so that one section of the sandwiched electrodes can effect light differently than the other sections and thereby display information.
