Optical node device employing independently operable elements

Abstract

An optical node device including a liquid crystal display device with pixels having a first transistor between a positive-polarity pixel data line and a first holding capacitor with a gate for a row scan signal, a second transistor between a negative-polarity pixel data line and a second holding capacitor with a gate for the row scan signal, a fifth transistor between a pixel electrode and a first source follower circuit where a voltage from the first holding capacitor is input with a gate for a first control signal, and a sixth transistor between the pixel electrode and a second source follower circuit where a voltage from the second holding capacitor is input with a gate for a second control signal turned on alternately with the first control signal. The fifth and sixth transistors have a threshold voltage different from that of other transistors of a first conductivity type.
