Patent ID: 6876347

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device for displaying an image based on an image signal, comprising: a display unit including liquid crystal and having predetermined liquid crystal applied voltage-luminance characteristics, in which a luminance according to the image data varies depending on a liquid crystal applied voltage applied to the display unit; and a signal line drive circuit that is selectively inputted with a first reference voltage used for supplying the liquid crystal applied voltage to the display unit, and a second reference voltage having a maximum value larger than a maximum value of the liquid crystal applied voltage and a minimum value smaller than a minimum value of the liquid crystal applied voltage; supplies the liquid crystal applied voltage to the display unit based on the first reference voltage; and when the liquid crystal applied voltage is changed to the maximum value or the minimum value, supplies a correction voltage to the display unit based on the second reference voltage for speeding up a response of the liquid crystal, the correction voltage being higher than the maximum value or lower than the minimum value of the liquid crystal applied voltage.
