Abstract: A memory-type liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel including memory circuits, and conducts a refresh operation more than once during a display holding period after rewriting of a screen. The memory-type liquid crystal display device increases at least one of (i) a frequency at which the screen is rewritten and (ii) a frequency at which the refresh operation is conducted during the display holding period as an intensity of light received by the liquid crystal panel increases. This allows the memory-type liquid crystal display device to reduce power consumption while keeping its display quality.

Abstract: The liquid crystal display device inverts the polarity of the data signal once in the first one of n iterations (n is an integer of 2 or more) of the horizontal blanking period. Then, in each of the remaining n?1 iterations of the horizontal blanking period, the polarity of the data signal is inverted twice. A plurality of data lines are short-circuited together when inverting the polarity of the data signal, and a scan line is selected in a write period during which the data signal is applied to a picture element forming portion. Moreover, a scan line is selected in synchronism with a timing for short-circuiting the data lines before the once-selected scan line is selected again in a write period.

Abstract: Disclosed is a thin film transistor that is provided with a gate insulating film that is inexpensive, and that is less likely to have a low-density microcrystalline silicon layer formed thereon due to plasma induced damage, while suppressing fluctuation of a threshold voltage. In a TFT (100) having the bottom gate structure, since a silicon nitride film (31) having a natural oxide film (32) formed on the surface thereof is used as the gate insulating film (30), the gate insulating film (30) is not only capable of preventing the alkali metal ions contained in a glass substrate (10) from entering the gate insulating film (30), but also capable of suppressing a formation of the low-density microcrystalline silicon layer on the surface of a microcrystalline silicon film (41) on the side in contact with the gate insulating film (30). Since the mobility of the microcrystalline silicon film (41) is increased, the operation speed of the TFT (100) can be improved.
