Abstract
A liquid crystal display element driving method or a liquid crystal display device uses a liquid crystal display element having a plurality of pixels constituting a screen; divides a frame period into a plurality of write periods and outputs gate signals to select the pixels sequentially during the write periods; forms each of source signals such that the source signal includes a picture signal and a non-picture signal respectively assigned for the write periods; writes each of the source signals corresponding to the selected pixels to each of the pixels with its polarity being alternated; and displays an image responsive to the source signals on the screen of the liquid crystal display element in such a manner that a transmittivity of liquid crystals of each of the pixels is controlled in accordance with the written source signal, wherein the non-picture signal having a polarity identical to that of the picture signal to be written subsequently is written to the pixels.
