ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICE HAVING A LARGE PIXEL MATRIX

At least one of the two rectangular conducting planes, provided to apply a voltage across the terminals of each pixel of a matrix, is supplied via two adjacent edges from individual voltage sources distributed along each of the edges. The voltage sources have different values of voltage, preferably but not necessarily varying in a monotonically increasing manner between a lower value at the end near the junction between the two edges and a higher value at the other end of each of the edges. The two edges through which the first conducting plane is mainly supplied are cut out to form electrical contact points locally isolated from one another and regularly spaced, each supplied by a respective individual voltage source. The other conducting plane may be supplied in the same way.
