An achromatic liquid-crystal shutter with high dynamic range, good transmission, and high speed. The inventive shutter reduces the phenomenon of "ghosting" (image doubling) that typically occurs in conventional plano-stereoscopic CRT displays due to the low dynamic range of surface mode liquid crystal electro-optical shutters included within such displays. The inventive shutter reduces crosstalk, thus allowing comfortable fusion to take place. In one preferred embodiment, the inventive shutter system is driven by a carrier-less voltage signal having time-averaged voltage substantially equal to zero, so that a simple, low power driving circuit suffices to drive the shutter. A pair of the inventive achromatic shutters may be employed in a wireless mode as a selection device for a field-sequential stereoscopic electronic display system.
