Claim:
An electro-optical device comprising: pixels that are provided to correspond to intersections of a plurality of rows of scanning lines and a plurality of columns of pairs of first and second data lines; a scanning line driving circuit that selects the plurality of rows of scanning lines according to a predetermined sequence; and a data line driving circuit that supplies a data signal having a voltage according to a target gray-scale level among a plurality of gray-scale levels of each of pixels corresponding to the selected scanning line to the first data line, and supplies an inverted data signal obtained by inverting the data signal on the basis of a predetermined potential to the second data line, each of the pixels including: a pixel electrode; a common electrode that faces the pixel electrode; a first transistor that is turned on when a corresponding scanning line is selected to supply the data signal from the first data line to the pixel electrode, a gate of the first transistor being connected to the scanning line of an i-th row, and a source of the first transistor being connected to the first data line of a j-th column; a second transistor that is turned on when another scanning line different from the corresponding scanning line is selected prior to the corresponding scanning line, and supplies the inverted data signal from the second data line to the pixel electrode, a gate of the second transistor being connected to the scanning line of the (i−1)-th row, a source of the second transistor being connected to the second data line of the j-th column, and a drain of the first transistor and a drain of the second transistor being commonly and directly connected to one end of the pixel electrode of the i-th row, the gate of the first transistor being connected to the scanning line of the i-th row that is connected to a gate of a third transistor, a drain of the third transistor being connected to one end of another pixel electrode of an (i+1)-th row, the first transistor including a first leakage voltage that has an opposite polarity and a substantially same magnitude compared to a second leakage voltage of the second transistor associated with a turned on state of the first and second transistors; the scanning line driving circuit causing the scanning line of the (i−1)-th row to be selected, the pixel electrode of the i-th row being previously precharged with a voltage having the same polarity as the voltage according to the target gray-scale level; a first auxiliary capacitor that capacitively couples the first data line to the pixel electrode; and a second auxiliary capacitor that capacitively couples the second data line to the pixel electrode.
