The display region 11a includes pixels 10a provided with, as pixel electrodes, transflective electrodes 15, each including a transmissive electrode 15a that carries out transmissive display, and a reflective electrode 15b that carries out reflective display. The display region 11b includes pixels 10b provided with, as pixel electrodes, transmissive electrodes 16 that carry out transmissive display. The direction in which the long side of the transmissive electrode 15a of the pixel 10a extends is positioned in the same direction in which the long side of the transmissive electrode 16 of the pixel 10b extends. By aligning the long side direction of the transmissive electrode 15a with the long side direction of the transmissive electrode 16, the direction of change in chromaticity in the display region 11a and the direction of change in chromaticity in the display region 11b become the same.

An alignment of liquid crystals is forcibly made stable in the vicinity of the reflective electrodes by providing the alignment controlling structure (151). It is thus possible to achieve a transflective liquid crystal display device having an excellent display characteristic, such as less roughness and fewer residual images.

Abstract: In a display device of the present invention, a total fluctuation calculation portion (23) included in a display control circuit (200) calculates total amounts of potential fluctuations of drive video signals to be applied to video signal lines during one frame period based on external display data signals (DATs). For a pixel formation portion to be provided with a display data signal (DATp) (corresponding to the next display row of the previous frame) received from frame memory (22), a data correction portion (24) performs correction to compensate for impact to be caused by potential fluctuations of an opposite video signal line adjacent but not connected to the pixel formation portion. As a result, the instant delta-arrangement color display device allows horizontal streaks, which are caused by potential fluctuations of opposite video signal lines as mentioned above, to be reduced or eliminated using a simplified configuration.
