Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: first and second substrates disposed facing each other via a liquid crystal layer, each substrate having a plurality of pixels arranged thereon in matrix form; a first electrode formed for each pixel on the first substrate side; a second electrode formed for each pixel on the first or second substrate side; and the liquid crystal layer being configured to be driven by a liquid crystal drive voltage applied between the first and second electrodes; wherein an inequation of VLmin≦VLmax<Vmax is satisfied, where VLmin is a liquid crystal drive voltage applied to the pixel to produce minimum brightness, VLmax is a liquid crystal drive voltage applied to the pixel to produce maximum brightness, and Vmax is a maximum liquid crystal drive voltage applied to the pixel, and wherein first and second areas are formed together in a predetermined display area which is divided into the first and second areas, the first area including pixels to which the applied liquid crystal drive voltage Vmax is applied, and the second area including pixels to which only a liquid crystal drive voltage between VLmin and VLmax (VLmin≦VLmax) is applied.
