Abstract

A storage capacitance Cs (=Cs+Csadd) added to a pixel capacitance is set such that a transmittance T at a voltage V of a pixel electrode becomes substantially equal to a transmittance T at a voltage V of the pixel electrode when a holding period is terminated. In the case of a normally black type liquid crystal display device, for example, when it is assumed that a white data voltage is VdW, a liquid crystal capacitance in white display is ClcW, and a liquid crystal capacitance in black display is ClcB, a capacitance value of the storage capacitance Cs is set such that difference between the transmittance obtained at the pixel voltage, that is changed by an amount of variation &Dgr;Vs of a pixel voltage expressed by &Dgr;Vs=VdW((ClcW−ClcB)/(ClcW+Cs )), and the transmittance obtained at the white data voltage VdW can be reduced smaller than 13% of the transmittance obtained at the white data voltage VdW. Accordingly, a predetermined brightness can be obtained by one scanning in response to a display data signal.
