Abstract
A display device incorporating an electrochromic display cell is provided with means whereby each segment electrode of the electrochromic display cell can be set into a completely electrically isolated state after a condition of coloration of a corresponding display element has been established. Since no leakage current is permitted to flow between the segment electrode and the drive transistors coupled thereto, a charge is stored on the segment electrode which maintains the coloration condition over a considerably longer period of time than has been possible hitherto, thus enabling an electrochromic display device to be realized having a very low level of power consumption.
