Patent ID: 7633479

Claim:
An active matrix display device comprising: a plurality of a first pixel electrodes arranged in a row that is scanned in a horizontal scanning period of the active matrix display device; a plurality of a second pixel electrodes arranged in the row, each of the second pixel electrodes being disposed adjacent a corresponding first pixel electrode; a signal processing circuit outputting a composite video signal comprising a first video signal and a second video signal that has a polarity opposite from a polarity of the first video signal, a dynamic range of the composite video signal not being larger than a sum of a dynamic range of the first video signal and a dynamic range of the second video signal; a driver circuit supplying the first video signal to the first pixel electrodes and the second video signal to the second pixel electrodes so that the first video signal inverts for each horizontal scanning period with respect to a reference voltage and the second video signal inverts for each horizontal scanning period with respect to the reference voltage; and a supplemental capacitance electrode provided for each of the first and second pixel electrodes, a first supplemental capacitance line provided so as to form capacitance between the first supplemental capacitance line and the supplemental capacitance electrodes provided for the first pixel electrodes, and a second supplemental capacitance line provided so as to form capacitance between the second supplemental capacitance line and the supplemental capacitance electrodes provided for the second pixel electrodes, wherein the first supplemental capacitance line does not form capacitance with the supplemental capacitance electrodes provided for the second pixel electrodes, and the second supplemental capacitance line does not form capacitance with the supplemental capacitance electrodes provided for the first pixel electrodes.
