Abstract:
1. An electro-optic apparatus that displays an image for each frame period including a first period, a second period following the first period, and a third period following the second period, the electro-optic apparatus comprising: a plurality of scanning lines; a plurality of data lines; a plurality of pixels each being provided so as to correspond to one of intersections of the plurality of scanning lines and the plurality of data lines; a drive circuit configured to, in synchronization with a selection of one scanning line of the plurality of scanning lines, supply data electric potentials to respective pixels, which are included in the plurality of pixels and which correspond to the selected one scanning line, via the plurality of data lines; and a common electric potential supply circuit configured to reverse a polarity of a common electric potential supplied to a common electrode relative to a reference electric potential, wherein each of the plurality of pixels includes a pixel electrode, the common electrode which is supplied with the common electric potential, liquid crystal which is driven between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, and a transistor which electrically connects the pixel electrode and one data line of the plurality of data lines in response to the selection of one scanning line of the plurality of scanning lines, wherein the drive circuit is configured to, wherein the common electric potential supply circuit reverses the polarity of the common electric potential during a period between an end of the first period and a beginning of the second period.
