Abstract

Selon le procédé décrit dans cette invention, des lignes de source gauche et droite (première et secondes lignes de signal) (SnL et SnR) sont ménagées sur les côtés opposés d'un pixel(P), et des signaux de tension présentant des polarités différentes sont respectivement appliquées aux lignes de source gauche et droite. Concernant la multitude de pixels (P) ménagés entre les lignes de source (SnL et SnR), le nombre d'électrodes de pixel (5) connectées à la ligne de source (SnL) par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de commutation (4) est fixé de manière à être identique au nombre d'électrodes de pixel (5) connectées à la ligne de source (SnR) par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de commutation (4).
