Abstract
A method of the present invention, for driving a liquid crystal display device includes the step of applying, when spray-bend transition of liquid crystal molecules is completed, a constant voltage to a storage capacitor electrode so that an electric potential difference between a pixel electrode and a common electrode becomes greater than an electric potential difference between the pixel electrode and another pixel electrode adjacent to said pixel electrode when application of a voltage for the spray-bend transition of the liquid crystal molecules is stopped.
