Patent ID: 8059218

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels comprising: a first liquid crystal element; a second liquid crystal element; a capacitor element; and a circuit, wherein the circuit is configured to electrically connect a first wiring and one of the first liquid crystal element and the second liquid crystal element so that a first voltage is applied to the capacitor element and one of the first liquid crystal element and the second liquid crystal element; wherein the circuit configured to switch between a first state in which the first liquid crystal element and the capacitor element are electrically connected and the second liquid crystal element and the capacitor element are electrically disconnected, and a second state in which the first liquid crystal element and the capacitor element are electrically disconnected and the second liquid crystal element and the capacitor element are electrically connected; and wherein the circuit is configured to electrically connect the first liquid crystal element, the second liquid crystal element, the capacitor element, and a second wiring so that a second voltage is applied to the first liquid crystal element, the second liquid crystal element, and the capacitor element.
