Abstract
A method for driving an electro-optic device includes a first and second electrode and a pair of substrates sandwiching an electro-optic layer driven by the first electrode. The method involves shifting one of two potentials input to at least one of the electrodes such that a potential difference between the first and second electrode where the potential input to the first electrode is higher than the potential input to the second electrode is larger than a potential difference between the first and second electrode where the potential input to the first electrode is lower than the potential input to the second electrode, when a gray-scale level where potential input to the first electrode is higher than potential input to the second electrode is equivalent to the gray-scale level where potential input to the first electrode is lower than potential input to the second electrode.
