Abstract:
A liquid crystal display comprising:a first substrate having formed on a first surface thereof a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of signal lines disposed perpendicularly to the scanning lines, and a plurality of pixel electrodes respectively associated with intersections of said scanning lines and signal lines and connected to said signal lines by respective switching elements; a second substrate opposed to the first surface of the first substrate; a liquid crystal disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of temperature detection elements provided on the first surface of the first substrate within a light blocking region at an outer periphery of a display region of the liquid crystal display; and a scanning line driving circuit and a signal line driving circuit, each providing drive voltages to the scanning lines and the signal lines, respectively, in accordance with signals from the plurality of temperature detection elements.
