Antiferroelectric liquid crystals have been applied to high-end multiplexed displays. The interest on these materials chiefly comes up from their capability of being multiplex addressed with no need of active matrices. Antiferroelectric grey levels arise from a double symmetric hysteresis loop that can be stabilized by a constant holding voltage. Driving schemes are compatible with passive multiplexing, but limitations appear when the multiplexing rate increases. To avoid these limitations, new driving schemes for high multiplexing level at video rate have been designed. The problem of accumulated voltage on bias level arising from data voltages is tackled as well.
