Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour représenter des informations, en particulier dans un véhicule, au moyen d'un dispositif d'affichage (1) présentant une cellule à cristaux liquides (3), une tension électrique étant appliquée à la cellule à cristaux liquides (3), la tension étant appliquée puis retirée périodiquement pou rassurer une représentation intermittente des informations de sorte que la période de représentation par intermittence comprend respectivement un temps d'application de tension et un temps de retrait de tension. Pour permettre une représentation très fidèle des informations même à basse température, le temps d'application de tension au cours de la période de représentation par intermittence, dépend de la température, et le temps d'application de tension à une première température plus faible pour une période de représentation par intermittence identique, est inférieur à celui à une deuxième température supérieure à la première. L'invention concerne également un dispositif d'affichage (1) comprenant une cellule à cristaux liquides (3) à laquelle une tension électrique peut être appliquée pour représenter des informations, et une unité de commande (4) reliée électriquement à la cellule à cristaux liquides (3).
