Abstract: In a liquid crystal display unit in IPS or FFS mode having a wide viewing angle, when a current is supplied to the unit so as to make display continuously, black spot-like unevenness (small dark or white spots) is produced. Since liquid crystal with low resistivity is used in IPS or FFS mode, impurities in the liquid crystal flow during display to form indeterminate black unevenness, or stay in an end portion of a display pattern producing an after image.
