ABSTRACT DISPLAY DEVICE A method is provided for addressing a matrix-array type liquid crystal cell with a ferroelectric liquid crystal layer having a plurality of pixels defined by areas of overlap between members of a first set of electrodes on one side of the liquid crystal layer and members of a second set of electrodes on the other side of the liquid crystal layer, each of the pixels having a first and a second optically distinguishable state and a response time for switching between the two states which depends on the potential difference across the liquid crystal layer. The method includes the step of applying a switching pixel waveform to a selected pixel to switch it between the two states. The switching pixel waveform is charge-balanced and comprises a first pulse having a sufficient pulse width and pulse height magnitude to switch the selected pixel and a second pulse contributing to charge-balancing. The second pulse has a pulse height magnitude greater than the sufficient pulse height magnitude of the first pulse and a pulse width which is insufficient to switch the selected pixel.
