Abstract:
1. An active-matrix liquid crystal display device, including scanning signal lines extending in a row direction, data signal lines extending in a column direction, and pixels provided so as to respectively correspond to intersections of the scanning signal lines and the data signal lines, the liquid crystal display device comprising: a scanning signal driving section for sequentially applying gate-on pulses on the scanning signal lines, each of the gate-on pulses causing one of the scanning signal lines to be in a selected state; a data signal driving section for applying data signals on the data signal lines such that a polarity of at least one of the data signals is inverted with respect to a selected plural number of horizontal periods in one frame period, the scanning signal line driving section configured to apply gate-on pulses such that a period from a moment of polarity inversion of the at least one of the data signals to a moment of an application start of the gate-on pulse nearest to the moment of the polarity inversion among the gate-on pulses applied after the polarity inversion is equal to or longer than a horizontal display period obtained by subtracting a horizontal blanking period from a horizontal period; a display control circuit for supplying, to the data signal driving section, the at least one of the data signals and a data signal application control signal for controlling timing with which the data signal driving section applies the at least one of the data signals on one of the data signal lines, the display control circuit being configured to receive a plurality of video data that respectively correspond to the data signal lines sequentially supplied from an external signal source with an interval between the plurality of video data, and the display control circuit is configured to regard a certain number of video data as a set in accordance with the polarity inversion, assign one or more dummy insertion periods as well as one horizontal period to an output of a signal potential corresponding to selected video data in each set, and assign a horizontal period shorter than the interval to outputs of signal potentials respectively corresponding to individual video data other than the selected video data in each set.
