Liquid crystal display device with display holding device
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device for receiving video signal and displaying a visual image, comprising:
- an active matrix liquid crystal display member having a plurality of display elements and a plurality of switching elements;
means for supplying, based upon said video signal, a drive signal to said display elements through respective ones of said switching elements;
control means for keeping said switching elements in an OFF condition for a predetermined period of time so that the supply of said drive signal to said display elements is interrupted, whereby a still image is displayed for said predetermined period of time without the need to apply another video signal to said display member.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display device is provided for receiving a video signal and displaying a visual image. The display device employs an active matrix liquid crystal display member having a plurality of display elements, and a plurality of switching elements, respectively. An image signal included in the video signal is applied to the display elements in accordance with a horizontal synchronous signal. The signal corresponding to the synchronous signal included in the video signal to be applied to the switching elements is inhibited for a predetermined period of time so that the image is kept displayed by the display elements for a certain period of time without the need to supply another video signal.
