Abstract

ABSTRACT

The disclosure describes the provision of a liquid crystal display device which permits of multi-gradation display merely he the application and non-application of a voltage to a liquid crystal without increasing an area of one display unit and without the necessity for fine adjustment of the voltage applied to the liquid crystal of each pixel.
