Patent ID: 7307612

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal composition which is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of pixel electrodes which are formed on the first substrate; a plurality of switching elements supplying video signals to the pixel electrodes; a plurality of video signal lines supplying video signals to the switching elements; a plurality of scanning signal lines supplying scanning signals thereby controlling the switching elements; a first drive circuit connected to the plurality of video signal lines for supplying the video signals to the video signal lines; a second drive circuit supplying high level and low level of scanning signals to the scanning signal lines; a plurality of holding capacitive elements which are formed on the first substrate; a power supply circuit mounted on the first substrate for supplying a voltage on the holding capacitive elements; a flexible printed circuit board connected to the first substrate; and a capacitor mounted on the flexible printed circuit board, wherein the capacitor connects to the power supply circuit by wiring of the flexible printed circuit board, the power supply circuit generates a first voltage, a second voltage, which is a higher than the first voltage, is generated from the first voltage, a third voltage, which has a reverse polarity to the first voltage, is generated from the first voltage, and the capacitor is used in a time division manner for generating the second voltage and the third voltage.
