Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a display panel including a pixel matrix in which pixels each including at least a switching element and a pixel electrode are arranged in matrix near intersection points of data lines and gate lines arranged longitudinally and laterally, and a counter electrode that is arranged to oppose the pixel matrix with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween; a light source for irradiating light onto the display panel; and a control part for dividing a frame period for displaying a video signal of one screen into a plurality of sub-frame periods and performing display on the display panel; wherein the control part divides each of the sub-frame periods into a writing period for writing the video signal to the pixel matrix and a display period for lighting up the light source, and, in the display period, renders all the switching elements non-conductive while simultaneously applying a correction voltage that is different from the video signal to the data line to allow the correction voltage to be applied to the switching elements, and the correction voltage is an alternating signal having a higher frequency than a frequency at which a liquid crystal molecule of the liquid crystal layer responds.
