To provide a liquid crystal display which displays multi-bit data words capable of rapidly inverting data stored in pixels.
A multiplexed pixel display includes pixel electrodes 612, storage elements 702, a first voltage supply terminal 622, a second voltage supply terminal 624, a common electrode, and multiplexers 704, and each multiplexer selectively couples associated one of the pixel electrodes 612 with one of the first voltage supply terminal 622 and the second voltage supply terminal 624 in response to a value of a data bit stored in associated one of the storage elements 702. A controller sequentially writes each bit of multi-bit data words to the storage elements 702, and asserts, while each bit is stored in the storage elements 702, a first predetermined voltage on the first voltage supply terminal 622, a second predetermined voltage on the second voltage supply terminal 624, and a third predetermined voltage on the common electrode, for a time dependent on the significance of the stored bit.
