Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate, on which a reference potential trunk line that supplies a reference potential to a plurality of sub-pixels and a switching element of each of the plurality of sub-pixels, are disposed; and a second substrate, on which a display signal line that supplies a display signal, is disposed, wherein: a liquid crystal capacitance of each of the plurality of sub-pixels is formed between the first substrate and the second substrate; pixels composed of the plurality of sub-pixels that correspond to a plurality of luminance regions are arranged in a matrix; in case that a prescribed half-tone is displayed in between pixels that are adjacent in the row direction, the plurality of sub-pixels that correspond to the same luminance region are arranged adjacently in the row direction; the reference potential trunk line comprises: a first reference potential trunk line and a second reference potential trunk line; and the liquid crystal display comprises the display signal line; the liquid crystal display further comprising: a controller that switches potential of the first reference potential trunk line for each frame and that also switches the potential of the second reference potential trunk line for each frame to the inverse phase with respect to the first reference trunk line; and a scanning line disposed in the row direction of a matrix; a first pixel in which the first sub-pixel is disposed between the first reference potential trunk line and the scanning line and the second sub-pixel is disposed between the second reference potential trunk line and the scanning line; and a second pixel in which the second sub-pixel is disposed between the first reference potential trunk line and the scanning line and the first sub-pixel is disposed between the second reference potential trunk line and the scanning line; wherein one end of the liquid crystal capacitance of a first sub-pixel is connected to the display signal line and the other end thereof is connected to the first reference potential trunk line via the switching element; one end of the liquid crystal capacitance of a second sub-pixel adjacent to the first sub-pixel in the column direction is connected to the display signal line and the other end thereof is connected to the second reference potential trunk line via the switching element; and the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel are repeatedly arranged in a prescribed pattern in the row direction.
