Patent number: 9082357Abstract: Each image signal line S is connected alternately to a plurality of sub-pixels P positioned on one side of the image signal line S and a plurality of sub-pixels P positioned on the other side. During one frame period, image signals having either one of the positive and negative polarities are input to the first, third, fourth, and sixth image signal lines S1, S3, S4, and S6 of the eight image signal lines S1 to S8 that constitute a unit array of the image signal lines during one frame period, while image signals having the other polarity are input to the remaining image signal lines S2, S5, S7, and S8. According to this liquid crystal display device, it is possible to prevent flicker in image and to prevent the common electrode position from becoming different from the base potential, while preventing increase of power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2012Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: PANASONIC LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY CO. LTDInventors: Teruhisa Nakagawa, Yoshinori Aono, Masahiro Ishii
