The change of the sign of the dielectric anisotropy of a nematic liquid crystal allows an active switching process in electrooptical cells in on and off direction. In the two frequency addressing mode the TN cell shows a qualitative and quantitative different dynamic behaviour in comparison to the conventional driving mode. During the switching on process hydrodynamical domains occur. After switching off the director configuration skips into the −3π/2 twist and thereby it realizes a loss in transmission. The director configuration relaxes into the quarter twist after some minutes. A superposition of low frequent and high frequent voltage gives a strong increase of the number of multiplexable lines.
