Abstract: In a touched position detection method for a touch panel for detecting a touched position, based on measured values by a plurality of sensors, presence of a touch is determined when a measured value by a sensor exceeds a touch threshold. As a touch threshold, a value which cannot be attained due to a mere noise but can due to presence of a touch is set.

Abstract: The present invention provides a display method realizing reduction in a moving picture blurring by forming one frame by two fields of different luminance, in which increase in an unapplied voltage due to shortening of data voltage write time is suppressed. A gate voltage is applied in a light field for a period of time which is twice as long as scan line selection time, thereby decreasing an unapplied voltage. On the other hand, a gate voltage is applied normally in a dark field for the scan line selection time, so that the case where the unapplied voltage increases is eliminated. As a result, an image with high reproducibility can be obtained.
