Patent ID: 8199173

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a pixel circuit substrate, said pixel circuit substrate comprising: a first substrate; gate lines provided on said first substrate and extending in a first direction; data lines provided on said first substrate and extending in a second direction intersecting said first direction; pixel electrodes respectively provided at closest points of said gate lines and said data lines, each of said pixel electrodes constituting a sub pixel, (M×N) (N and M being an integer equal to or greater than 2, respectively) sub pixels constituting a display pixel in which N sub pixels are provided consecutively in said first direction and M sub pixels are provided consecutively in said second direction; switch elements, respectively provided at said closest points, which select whether or not to connect said data lines to said pixel electrodes based on potentials of said gate lines; and a drive circuit which applies gate-line drive signals to said gate lines in order, said gate-line drive signal enabling said switch element connected to said gate line to turn on, and which outputs data signals to said data lines, said drive circuit changing a polarity of a potential of said data signal with respect to a potential of said common electrode every time said gate-line drive signals are applied to 2 to (2×M) gate lines among said gate lines, and changing said polarity frame by frame; an opposing substrate provided in parallel to and apart from said pixel circuit substrate, said opposing substrate comprising: a second substrate; and a common electrode provided on said second substrate; a liquid crystal layer provided between said pixel circuit substrate and said opposing substrate; and a lenticular lens which has a plurality of cylindrical lenses provided in said first direction and directs light having passed through said liquid crystal layer to different directions, said cylindrical lenses being provided in association with columns of said display pixels aligned in said second direction, given that a layout pitch of said display pixels in said first direction is P, a layout pitch of said cylindrical lenses is L, a layout pitch of said sub pixels in said first direction is b, and a layout pitch of said sub pixels in said second direction is a, (a×M):(b×N)=L:P being satisfied, wherein the layout pitch P and the layout pitch L are different from each other.
