Abstract:
1. An electro-optical device, comprising: scanning lines; data lines; pixels provided at areas corresponding to respective intersections of the scanning lines and the data lines, each of the pixels including a pixel electrode and a switching element; a scanning line driving section configured to sequentially supply a scanning signal for putting the switching element into an ON state through the scanning lines in each of sub field time periods, wherein a data line driving section configured to apply a signal potential into each of the pixel electrodes of the pixels selected by the scanning line driving section through the corresponding one of the data lines, wherein a polarity of the signal potential compared with a predetermined potential is defined as a writing polarity, and the data line driving section is configured to apply the signal potential in such a manner that the writing polarity is reversed more than once in the field time period, and wherein in the field time periods successive in time series with alternation of odd fields and even fields, the scanning line driving section is configured to sequentially supply the scanning signal through the scanning lines in such a manner that a first total length of the sub field time periods in which writing in one polarity is performed in each cycle of two consecutive fields including one odd field and one even field is different from a second total length of the sub field time periods in which writing in the other polarity is performed in the each cycle of two consecutive fields, two consecutive sub field time periods make up each of groups in the field time period, and the scanning line driving section is configured to sequentially supply the scanning signal through the scanning lines in such a manner that
