Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising a plurality of pixels each of which has a liquid crystal layer and a plurality of electrodes for applying an electric field to the liquid crystal layer, wherein: the plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix (rp, cq) with a plurality of rows (1 to rp) and plurality of columns (1 to cq) and each pixel is expressed as P (p, q), where 1≦p≦rp and 1≦q≦cq; each of the plurality of pixels has at least two sub-pixels SPa (p, q), SPb (p, q), etc. arranged in the column direction; and the at least two sub-pixels differ from each other in brightness when displaying an intermediate grayscale, and the position of the brightest of the at least two sub-pixels arranged in the column direction changes periodically in the row direction in the case of a pixel in an arbitrary row, but it is constant in the case of a pixel in an arbitrary column.
