Liquid crystal display apparatus
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal device having multiple pixels including first and second pixels that are arranged adjacent to each other,wherein each said pixel includes a number of subpixels including first, second and third subpixels, andwherein the average luminance of the respective third subpixels of the first and second pixels when an input signal indicates that each of the first and second pixels should represent a first color is substantially equal to that of the respective third subpixels of the first and second pixels when the input signal indicates that each of the first and second pixels should represent a second color, which is different from the first color, andwherein when the input signal indicates that each of the first and second pixels should represent the first color, the luminances of the respective third subpixels of the first and second pixels are different from each other, andwherein when the input signal indicates that each of the first and second pixels should represent the second color, the luminances of the respective third subpixels of the first and second pixels are substantially equal to each other.

Abstract
A liquid crystal device (100A) according to the present invention has first and second pixels (P1 and P2). Each of the first and second pixels (P1 and P2) includes first, second and third subpixels (R, G, and B). When the input signal indicates that each pixel should represent the first color, the luminances of the respective third subpixels (B1 and B2) of the first and second pixels (P1 and P2) are different from each other. But when the input signal indicates that each pixel should represent the second color, the average luminance of the respective third subpixels (B1 and B2) is substantially the same as when the first color is specified, and the luminances of the respective third subpixels (B1 and B2) are substantially equal to each other.
