LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a display panel including a pixel matrix in which pixels each including at least a switching element and a pixel electrode are arranged in matrix near intersection points of data lines and gate lines arranged longitudinally and laterally, and a counter electrode that is arranged to oppose the pixel matrix with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween;
a light source for irradiating light onto the display panel; and
a control part for dividing a frame period for displaying a video signal of one screen into a plurality of sub-frame periods and performing display on the display panel;
whereinthe control part divides each of the sub-frame periods into a writing period for writing the video signal to the pixel matrix and a display period for lighting up the light source, and applies a correction voltage that is different from the video signal to the data line in the display period.

Abstract
The present invention aims to reduce flickers of the liquid crystal display device and enable the use of liquid crystal material exhibiting a high response speed, and to enhance light usage efficiency of the field sequential type liquid crystal display device. After writing the video signal to all the pixels in each sub-frame period, a correction voltage signal or an alternating signal having a frequency of greater than or equal to a certain frequency is input to the data line, so that the magnitude of the leakage current of each pixel TFT caused by the difference in polarity of the video signal with respect to the opposing electrode written to the pixel electrode is equalized, and the flickers are greatly reduced.
