Claim Text:
1. A liquid crystal display device having a plurality of pixels, comprising: a first substrate; a first electrode formed on the first substrate in each of the plurality of pixels; a second electrode formed on the first substrate in each of the plurality of pixels; a second substrate disposed so as to face the first substrate; an opposite electrode formed on one of the first and second substrates, the opposite electrode being shared by at least some of the plurality of pixels; a common electrode formed on another of the first and second substrates, the common electrode being shared by the plurality of pixels; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates, the liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules having a positive birefringence; and a driving unit that controls the potential of the first electrode, the second electrode, and the opposite electrode, wherein the driving unit executes driving operations during a unit period, said driving operations including: wherein an absolute value of a difference in potential between the first electrode and the common electrode is equal to an absolute value of a difference in potential between the second electrode and the common electrode.
