Patent ID: 7522127

Claim:
A method of driving a display device including display pixels each of which includes a switching element and a pixel electrode, each of the display pixels being provided at an intersection of one of a plurality of gate lines and one of a plurality of source lines, wherein: a first display pixel and a second display pixel are connected to the same gate line, and the second display pixel is connected to a source line that is adjacent to a source line connected to the first display pixel and that forms a parasitic capacitance with the pixel electrode of the first display pixel; and a write signal for the first display pixel is obtained by correcting an input signal for the first display pixel in accordance with an input signal for the second display pixel or a write signal for the second display pixel, wherein: a write signal gradation for the first display pixel is a sum of an input signal gradation for the first display pixel and a correction gradation F(g) represented by F ( g )= Csd ·( Ugad−Ubad )/ Cp ·( U ( g +1)− U ( g )) where Cp is a capacitance value of the first display pixel, Csd is a capacitance value of the parasitic capacitance formed between the source line connected to the second display pixel and the pixel electrode of the first display pixel, U(g) is an input signal voltage for the first display pixel when a level of an input signal gradation for the first display pixel is g, Ugad is an input signal voltage or a write signal voltage for the second display pixel, and Ubad is a voltage to be applied to a common electrode, which is opposed to each display pixel.
