Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate including pixels arranged in matrix, the pixels each including a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode each including a plurality of linear electrodes and formed so as to be comb-like; a second substrate arranged so as to be opposed to the first substrate via a blue-phase liquid crystal layer; a backlight device for applying backlight from a rear surface side of the first substrate, first drain lines extending in a Y direction and provided side by side in an X direction; second drain lines extending in the Y direction and provided side by side in the X direction; gate lines extending in the X direction and provided side by side in the Y direction; a first thin film transistor, which is provided in each of the pixels and includes a drain electrode connected to one of the first drain lines, for supplying a drain signal from the one of the first drain lines to the first electrode in synchronization with a scanning signal from one of the gate lines; a second thin film transistor, which is provided in each of the pixels and includes a drain electrode connected to one of the second drain lines, for supplying a drain signal from the one of the second drain lines to the second electrode in synchronization with a scanning signal from one of the gate lines; and a third electrode, which is plate-like and formed on the blue-phase liquid crystal layer side of the second substrate so as to cover at least a region in which the pixels are formed.
