1. A liquid crystal display device comprising picture elements each composed of first to n-th pixels, a portion of a liquid crystal layer in each pixel being rendered to exhibit an optical transmittance that is in accordance with gray level data, whereinboth:

  • a case where gray level data for the first pixel indicates a first gray level, n pieces of gray level data for the first to n-th pixels indicate a saturation index for the first pixel that has a first index value, and the first pixel exhibits an optical transmittance that is equal to a first optical transmittance; and

    a case where gray level data for the first pixel indicates a first gray level, n pieces of gray level data for the first to n-th pixels indicate a saturation index for the first pixel that has a second index value, and the first pixel exhibits an optical transmittance that is equal to a second optical transmittanceare possible,the first gray level is included in a low gray level region that is a first half of all gray levels that can be indicated by the gray level data, andthe first index value is smaller than the second index value, and the first optical transmittance is greater than the second optical transmittance.
