Abstract

A liquid crystal display where grayscale inversion is reduced includes a liquid crystal cell having pixel groups, each group comprising a red (R) pixel, a green (G) pixel, a blue (B) pixel, and a white (W) pixel, and drive circuitry that applies a voltage Vand a voltage Vsatisfying the formulae (ia) and (iia) between electrodes defining the G pixel and between electrodes defining the W pixel, respectively, depending on a grayscale level L (where L satisfies 0≦L≦1) in grayscale where substantially the same voltage Vis applied between electrodes defining each of the R, G, and B pixels:for 0<≦0.03,=0 and=2*  (ia)for 0.03<≦0.3, 0.05</(−0.03)<0.86;  (iia)where Tand Teach represent normalized transmittance obtained through normalization of transmittance of each of the G and W pixels assuming that white brightness in a normal direction to a display surface of the liquid crystal display is 1.
