Abstract:
A liquid crystal apparatus, comprising:a liquid crystal device including a liquid crystal, a plurality of pixel electrodes for applying a voltage to said liquid crystal arranged in a matrix form, a plurality of first thin film transistors for simultaneous transfer connected to said pixel electrodes, a plurality of second thin film transistors for successive charge storage, a plurality of sample-and-hold circuits each connected to and disposed between a first thin film transistor and a second thin film transistor, a plurality of gate lines each connected to gates of associated second thin film transistors for successive charge storage along a same gate line, and a whole-writing line, different from said plurality of gate lines, connected to all of the gates of said first thin film transistors for simultaneous transfer; a buffer disposed between one of said first thin film transistors and a pixel electrode or between one of said second thin film transistors and one of said first thin film transistors; means for generating picture image signals for defining gradation images for three primary colors to be visually recognized and displayed on said liquid crystal device as a full-color image; and a light source for illuminating said liquid crystal device with a plurality of color lights corresponding to the gradation images displayed on said liquid crystal device in a three primary color sequential display scheme, wherein said liquid crystal has a spontaneous polarization.
