  • Patent number: 8466862
    Abstract: Provided is a liquid crystal display device, which includes a TFT substrate (230) including: first pixel electrodes (237) which are pixel electrodes at regions corresponding to first filter regions; second pixel electrodes (238) which are pixel electrodes at regions corresponding to second filter regions. The liquid crystal display device has a brightness priority mode, which puts priority on bright screen display, and a response speed priority mode, which puts priority on response of a liquid crystal composition at a time of rewriting of a screen. In the response speed priority mode, a voltage to be applied to the second pixel electrode (238) differs from that in the brightness priority mode. With this, it is possible to realize high transmittance and low power consumption while responding to display of images requiring high response speed.

  • Patent number: 7119776
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image display device which can obtain a sufficient writing time of video signals for one line and thus can perform display of high resolution or display of fast animation image. To achieve this object, the image display device is configured such that on a pixel-forming-side surface of a substrate, respective drain signal lines which extend in one direction and are arranged in parallel in another direction which crosses one direction are formed, the respective drain signal lines are separated at approximately center portions thereof, video signals are supplied to the drain signal lines at one side from a first video signal drive circuit and video signals are supplied to the drain signal lines at another side from a second video signal drive circuit, and separated end portions of respective drain signal lines constitute inspection terminals.
