Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• first register means for storing binary coded numeric information;
• second register means coupled to said first register means for sequentially storing single digits of the binary coded numeric information stored in said first register means;
• decoder means coupled to said second register means for converting the binary coded numeric information stored in said second register means into display information;
• a plurality of first electrodes disposed on a first plate for energization to define a plurality of digits each having a seven bar display format;
• a corresponding plurality of second electrodes disposed on a second plate which faces said first plate, each of said second electrodes corresponding, respectively, to ones of said first electrodes;
• a plurality of first driving elements coupled to said decoder means and being operative to energize each of said first electrodes in response to said decoder output;
• a plurality of second driving elements operative to energize each of said second electrodes;
• means coupled to said first and second driving elements for alternating the polarity of driving voltage applied between said pluralities of electrodes from said driving elemenets;
• and
• pulse generator means coupled to said second driving elements for sequentially selecting at least two electrodes of said second electrode so that only the electrodes corresponding to a particular portion of the display can be energized at a time.
