  • Publication number: 20190043438
    Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device, a frame period is classified into a scanning frame period and a suspend frame period. A panel drive circuit writes a voltage in accordance with a video signal to a pixel circuit in a liquid crystal panel in a scanning period Ts set in the scanning frame period. A backlight drive circuit makes a backlight turn on in a backlight turn-on period Ton set in the scanning frame period and the suspend frame period, and makes the backlight turn off otherwise. In the scanning frame period, the backlight turn-on period Ton is set after the scanning period Ts, preferably after a time point when a longest response time of the pixel circuit elapses from an end of the scanning period Ts. With this, a flicker is suppressed in a display device performing a suspend drive.
