Abstract
A liquid crystal apparatus includes a liquid crystal device including scanning electrodes, data electrodes and a ferroelectric liquid crystal disposed between the scanning electrodes and the data electrodes. A scanning selection signal and a scanning nonselection signal are applied to the scanning electrodes. The data signals are applied to the data electrodes in phase with the scanning selection signal. The average voltage values of the data signals are varied during the period of applying a scanning selection signal.
