Abstract
An electro-optical display device comprises electro-optical material sandwiched between a pair of substrates each having formed thereon electrodes. The electrodes on one substrate comprise a segment display electrode part comprised of a plurality of seven-segment electrodes, and a dot matrix display electrode part comprised of a plurality of parallel linear electrodes. The electrodes on the other substrate comprise a complementary counter electrode part corresponding to the segment display electrode part, and a complementary counter electrode part comprised of a plurality of parallel linear electrodes perpendicularly intersecting the linear electrodes formed on the other substrate. The electrode leads which are connected to some of the seven-segment electrodes also comprise some of the linear electrodes of the dot matrix display thereby reducing the overall number of separate electrodes and enabling construction of a more simple display device.
