Abstract: A liquid crystal display device is provided which is capable of sufficiently decreasing power consumption in permanent display of still images while keeping high quality display in transparent mode, in high resolution display panels. In each pixel circuit, a pixel electrode is connected to a source line via a third transistor. When a refreshing circuit performs a refreshing operation, a boosting signal line is supplied with a voltage pulse. If the pixel electrode is at a high voltage level at this time point, a voltage at a node is boosted and a first transistor turns ON to supply a reference voltage to the pixel electrode as a refreshing voltage. If the pixel electrode is at a low voltage level, there is no boost, and the first transistor stays in OFF state, so a node assumes a voltage which is given by an off-resistance ratio of the first and the third transistors, and this voltage is supplied to the pixel electrode.

A first recording and a second recording are selectively performed. In the first recording, a first recording column, a second recording column (the outer adjacent recording column of the first recording column) and a third recording column (the outer adjacent recording column of the second recording column) are formed so that the radial positions of the inner and outer circumferential edges of the first recording column, those of a second recording column, and those of a third recording column satisfy R1in<R2in<R3in<R1out<R2out<R3out. In the second recording, a non-overlapping portion which does not overlap with any of the recording columns in the radial direction is formed on each of the recording columns.
