Driving method for liquid crystal device

A driving method for a liquid crystal device of the type comprising a pair of oppositely disposed electrode plates having thereon a group of scanning lines and a group of data lines, respectively, and a liquid crystal disposed between the pair of electrode plates so as to form a pixel at each intersection of the Scanning lines and data lines, said driving method comprising:

• for displaying a halftone, applying to a data line a halftone signal selected from plural halftone signals determined according to a first relationship between applied voltage and transmittance of a pixel;
• and
• for displaying a minimum or a maximum transmittance, applying to a data line an extreme signal determined according to a second relationship between applied voltage and transmittance of a pixel, said second relationship being different from said first relationship,
• wherein a scanning line is supplied with a reset signal for resetting pixels thereon and then a selection signal for writing, and said halftone signal or extreme signal is selectively applied to a data line for an associated pixel in synchronism with the selection signal.
