Abstract: In a multi-layer display device such as a liquid crystal display, each of a plurality of sets of display elements is defined by a corresponding common electrode and a plurality of segment electrodes. Segment electrodes of sets of display elements which will not be activated simultaneously are connected together, with at least one of these sets being maintained in a deactivated state by means of a special drive signal applied to the corresponding common electrode. The level of time-sharing which must be utilized for driving the various common electrodes, for a given number of external connections to the segment electrodes, can thereby be reduced, or the overall number of connections made to the display device can be substantially reduced.
