  • Publication number: 20140340297
    Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device that performs horizontal divisional-drive operation, writing of a pixel voltage to pixels in a head row in vertical scanning of each display region becomes insufficient, and a dark line is displayed when the head row is located at the screen center, deteriorating the image quality. For example, a scanning line drive circuit to drive gate lines of a lower display region sequentially outputs a scanning pulse (Pk) for selecting a (n+k)th row of an image. A video line drive circuit to drive source lines of the lower display region outputs a pixel voltage corresponding to data (Dn+k) during a period of the scanning pulse (Pk). An application start timing of the pixel voltage with respect to application of the scanning pulse (Pk) is set earlier in a (n+1)th row, a head row, during an effective scanning period (TEFF) than in the subsequent rows.
