Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a field effect transistor array substrate (22) and a counter substrate (23). The field effect transistor array substrate (22) carries FETs (3), capacitors (5) and one electrode of the liquid crystal element deposited on a glass support (7). The counter substrate (23) carries a common electrode (31) in a form of stripes which extend parallel to the gate electrodes (8), and are deposited on another glass support (7'). The substrates are bonded together via a sealing member (21) and a suitable liquid crystal material (16) is injected therebetween. The device further includes a detecting circuit (33) for detecting a voltage produces at the drain electrode (6), a discriminator (34) for discriminating whether the voltage detected by the detecting circuit (33) is above or below a predetermined voltage, and a frame frequency adjusting circuit (35). When the detected voltage is higher than a predetermined potential, the adjusting circuit (35) increases the frame frequency, resulting in decrease of the write-in or coloration voltage. When the detected voltage is lower than the predetermined potential, the adjusting circuit (35) decreases the frame frequency, resulting in increase of the write-in voltage. Thus, the voltage applied to the liquid crystal (16) is corrected.
