Patent ID: 7145535

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a liquid crystal panel including a liquid crystal layer and an electrode for applying a voltage across the liquid crystal layer; and a driving circuit for supplying a driving voltage to the liquid crystal panel, wherein: the liquid crystal panel exhibits a local maximum value of transmittance in a voltage-transmittance characteristic in response to a voltage that is equal to or greater than a highest gray level voltage; the driving circuit supplies, to the liquid crystal panel, a predetermined driving voltage that is obtained by overshooting a gray level voltage corresponding to an input image signal of a current vertical period according to a combination of an input image signal of a previous vertical period and the input image signal of the current vertical period; and a difference between a retardation of the liquid crystal panel under application of no voltage and that under application of a maximum voltage that can be applied across the liquid crystal panel is 280 nm or more.
