Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes pixels, gate lines, source lines and a drive means. Each of the pixels includes a TFT element, a liquid crystal element and an auxiliary capacitive device. One end of the liquid crystal device is connected to one end of the TFT device, and the auxiliary capacitive device is provided to be connected between the one end of the TFT device and an adjacent gate line. In a normal drive mode, the drive means drives each pixel on the basis of an image data acquired through correction which allows image luminance level of the current unit frame to be lowered by a predetermined amount. In an overdrive mode, the drive means drives each pixel on the basis of an image data which brings a larger amount of change of a voltage across the liquid crystal device between the previous unit frame and the current unit frame.
