Patent ID: 7777765

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, including (a) a liquid crystal panel for carrying out display by voltage application to pixels, each of which has a liquid crystal layer, and (b) a driving circuit for applying, within one frame time, (i) voltages that respectively correspond with image signals and (ii) a voltage that corresponds with a clear command signal, to the pixels of said liquid crystal panel, wherein: said driving circuit includes a correcting section for generating corrected image signals according to a combination of first image signals for a preceding frame time and second image signals for a present frame time, the corrected image signals causing liquid crystal orientation in the pixels to be transited from an initial orientation of the present frame time to an orientation indicated by the second image signals; the corrected image signals are based on correspondence between gray scales and voltages capable of carrying out transition of the liquid crystal orientation to the orientation indicated by the second image signals from an orientation right after a period in which the clear command signal is written in and stored in liquid crystals that have orientation indicated by the first image signals; if a first image signal and a second image signal are different image signals, said driving circuit applies a voltage that corresponds to the corrected image signal; if a first image signal and a second image signal are identical image signals, said driving circuit applies a corrected voltage that is generated by correcting a voltage corresponding to the second image signal without using the corrected image signal; and said corrected voltage is set so that the relation between the second image signal and set liquid crystal transmittance becomes a gamma value, where an average liquid crystal transmittance in one frame time is set as the set liquid crystal transmittance of the present image signal, the average liquid crystal transmittance being determined by averaging liquid crystal transmittances obtained by applying, in plural times and respectively for a period, the corrected voltages and the voltage that corresponds to the clear command signal.
