Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device, an in-phase signal or a reversed phase signal of a signal supplied to a counter electrode is supplied to a source bus line during a video signal unwritten period, where (i) a video signal written period represents a period during which a voltage is applied to a pixel electrode in accordance with a video signal to be supplied to the source bus line and (ii) the video signal unwritten period represents a period between end of the data written period and start of a next data written period. This allows an electronic potential difference between the source bus line and the counter electrode to be kept constant. It is therefore possible to attain a liquid crystal display device excellent in its display quality by preventing flickers from being generated between a source bus line and a counter electrode.
