Patent ID: 8174472

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in the form of a matrix, each pixel having first and second sub-pixels; a plurality of first signal lines connected to the first and second sub-pixels; a plurality of second signal lines intersecting the first signal lines and connected to the first sub-pixels; and a plurality of third signal lines intersecting the first signal lines and connected to the second sub-pixels, wherein the first sub-pixels have first switching elements connected to the first and second signal lines, first liquid crystal capacitors connected to the first switching elements, and first storage capacitors connected to the first switching elements, the second sub-pixels have second switching elements connected to the first and third signal lines, second liquid crystal capacitors connected to the second switching elements, and second storage capacitors connected to the second switching elements, voltages applied to the first and second liquid crystal capacitors are obtained from image information, the first sub-pixels are supplied with a voltage that is smaller than a voltage applied to the second sub-pixels with respect to a predetermined voltage, and a storage capacitance of the first storage capacitors is larger than a first capacitance or a storage capacitance of the second storage capacitors is smaller than a second capacitance, where the first and second capacitances are capacitances of the first and second storage capacitors that cause kickback voltages of the first and second sub-pixels to be substantially equal to each other when the first and second sub-pixels are supplied with a same voltage.
