Abstract

There is provided a liquid crystal display device capable of displaying every frame an image that is not influenced by the previous frame at all by removing an afterimage attributed to a change in dielectric constant at the time of response of liquid crystals. A scanning line GL1 is made to have a voltage of +15 V so as to turn on first and third TFT elements 1 and 3 constructed of an n-type MOS transistor and turn off a second TFT element 2 constructed of a p-type MOS transistor. A signal voltage Vs is applied to a memory capacitance Cm via the first TFT element 1, charging the memory capacitance Cm up to the signal. voltage Vs. Simultaneously with this operation, electric charges of a pixel capacitance Cp are discharged via the third TFT element 3. The other scanning lines GL2, GL3, . . . all have a voltage of −15 V, and the second TFT element 2 is turned on, consequently moving the electric charges accumulated in the memory capacitance Cm to the pixel capacitance Cp and varying the alignment state of the liquid crystals according to a change in voltage.
