Abstract:
A method of driving a liquid crystal display device comprising a pixel electrode, a switching element connected to said pixel electrode, and a storage capacitor utilizing said pixel electrode as its one electrode, said pixel electrode, said switching element, and said storage capacitor formed for each pixel on a side of a first substrate, a common electrode formed on a side of a second substrate, and liquid crystal provided between said pixel electrode and said common electrode, said method comprising the step of:applying, to the other electrode of said storage capacitor formed for each pixel, a storage capacitor voltage that changes from a low level to a high level immediately after said switching element is turned off during a period in which a voltage of said pixel electrode to which said switching element is connected is higher than that of said common electrode, and that changes from the high level to the low level immediately after said switching element is turned off during a period in which the voltage of said pixel electrode is lower than that of said common electrode.
