Liquid crystal display
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising a plurality of pixels each of which has a liquid crystal layer and a plurality of electrodes for applying an electric field to the liquid crystal layer, wherein:
- the plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix (rp, cq) with a plurality of rows (1 to rp) and plurality of columns (1 to cq) and each pixel is expressed as P (p, q), where 1≦
p≦
rp and 1≦
q≦
cq;
each of the plurality of pixels has at least two sub-pixels SPa (p, q), SPb (p, q), etc. arranged in the column direction; and
the at least two sub-pixels differ from each other in brightness when displaying an intermediate grayscale, and the position of the brightest of the at least two sub-pixels arranged in the column direction changes periodically in the row direction in the case of a pixel in an arbitrary row, but it is constant in the case of a pixel in an arbitrary column.

Abstract
To reduce viewing angle dependence of γ characteristics in a normally black liquid crystal display.
Each pixel 10 has a first sub-pixel 10a and a second sub-pixel 10b which can apply mutually different voltages to their respective liquid crystal layers. Relationships ΔV12 (gk)>0 volts and ΔV12 (gk)≧ΔV12 (gk+1) are satisfied at least in a range 0<gk≦n−1 if it is assumed that ΔV12=V1−V2, where ΔV12 is the difference between root-mean-square voltage V1 applied to the liquid crystal layer of the first sub-pixel 10a and root-mean-square voltage V2 applied to the liquid crystal layer of the second sub-pixel 10b.
