Claim Text:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate comprising a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix, a plurality of gate lines extending in a row direction of the arranged pixel electrodes, a plurality of source lines extending in a column direction of the arranged pixel electrodes, and a plurality of switching elements, and each of the switching elements being disposed close to an intersection of an associated one of the gate lines and an associated one of the source lines; a second substrate located opposite to the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate; a driver configured to drive the gate lines and the source lines; and a control circuit configured to cause the driver to carry out one of a column-inversion driving and an intermittent dot-inversion driving in which an idle period for the driver is provided, said one of the ordinary driving and the intermittent driving being set by switching, the control circuit being also configured to supply signals to a plurality of pixel electrodes of each of columns of the pixel electrodes in each of frame periods in the intermittent driving, the supplied signals having polarities inverted in its of at least one row, wherein, during the idle time dot-inversion patterns that are supplied by the dot-inversion driving are held on the plurality of pixel electrodes.
