Abstract

Abstract An image display device having an electro-optical medium interposed between a pair of electrode substrates composing a matrix electrode, a driving means for driving the electro - optical medium by selectively applying a voltage on the matrix electrode and a reference voltage generator for supplying the driving means with a predetermined driving voltage, characterized by that a noise compensating means is interposed between the driving means and the reference voltage generator, the noise compensating means detecting a noise in a voltage supplied from the reference voltage generator to the electro - optical medium at a predetermined noise detecting position, forming a noise compensating voltage having a first polarity reverse to a second polarity of the noise by using the noise, and supplying the noise compensating voltage to the driving means.
