Abstract
An analog liquid crystal display apparatus comprising a liquid crystal film band inserted between a first conductive electrode and a second resistive electrode; a first voltage source is connected between said first and second electrodes; a second power supply is connected between the two ends of the resistive electrode; the liquid crystal presents a first optical state on a first part of the band and a second optical state on the remainder of the band. The liquid crystal is of the type having a critical relaxation frequency which is either a load relaxation frequency or a dielectric relaxation frequency, the first power supply supplying a voltage at a first frequency and the second power supply supplying a voltage at a second frequency, said two frequencies being on either side of said critical frequency; one of the voltage is then a display voltage and the other is a voltage which inhibits the display.
