Abstract:
A liquid crystal device comprising:a first substrate and a second substrate with liquid crystal sealed therebetween; a pixel section, which is mounted on said first substrate, and is composed of a plurality of data lines to which image signals that have periodically inverted polarities are supplied, a plurality of scanning lines which cross said plurality of data lines and to which scanning signals are supplied, a first switching element connected to said respective data lines and scanning-lines, and a pixel electrode connected to said first switching element; and a reset driving circuit, which is mounted on said first substrate, is provided with a second switching element for supplying reset signals, which have been supplied to a reset signal line, to said data lines prior to the supply of image signals that have inverted polarities in an area around said pixel section, and a capacitor connected to said reset signal line that overlaps a sealing layer formed in an area outside of said pixel section, said first and second substrates being bonded to each other by the sealing layer; said capacitor being disposed in an area where said sealing layer is formed and having first and second electrodes, said first electrode being supplied with a predetermined potential and said second electrode being electrically connected to said reset signal line and being disposed opposite to said first electrode with an insulating film disposed therebetween.
