The general field of the invention is that of display devices including a liquid-crystal matrix screen composed of elementary pixels, said screen including at least a first electrode used as voltage reference and called the “backplane,” a second electrode in the form of a matrix electronic network delivering the drive voltages for controlling the pixels and control electronics for said electrodes, said screen being used in the so-called “normally black” mode, that is to say that in the absence of applied voltages, the optical transmission of the pixels is substantially zero. In the device according to the invention, the “backplane” drive voltage is a variable periodic voltage, the amplitude of variation of this voltage being sufficient so that in the absence of voltage on the second electrode, the optical transmission of the pixels is sufficient to be detected by an observer.
