Abstract: A method for driving an LCD and its driving circuits are provided which are capable of being constructed at low costs, of reducing a flicker that occurs when a monochromatic color is displayed or an arbitrary image is displayed and of simultaneously making an adjustment for minimizing a line flicker and flicker occurring on an entire screen and of being applied to application areas in which a display is made more high-definition and a screen is made larger. The LCD is driven in a manner that a polarity of a data signal is reversed for every two scanning electrodes and for every signal electrode and the data signal having the reversed polarity is sequentially fed to each of signal electrodes.

Abstract: In a black mask light blocking region within a liquid-crystal display panel formed by a TFT substrate, a color filter substrate, and a liquid-crystal layer disposed in a space between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate, a temperature detection element is formed, simultaneously with process step that forms a switching element such as a thin-film transistor on the TFT substrate, thereby enabling detection of the temperature of the liquid-crystal layer without the influence of outside air or the like.
