Abstract
An active matrix type liquid crystal display apparatus can reduce occurrence of flicker, which can be a cause of degradation of picture quality even in a particular fixed pattern, by using a data driver circuit constantly inverting polarity of voltage of adjacent outputs. The active matrix type liquid crystal display apparatus has display picture elements, each consisting of four pixels of first to four pixels arranged vertically and horizontally per two, scanning lines, each being in common for the four pixels, data lines arranged per two on opposite sides of vertically aligned two pixels, a common electrode being common for the four pixels, and a data driver circuit for writing voltages from the datalines simultaneously for the four pixels of each picture element when the one scanning line is selected. The pixels are located at the same position in laterally adjacent picture elements being connected to data lines at different sides relative to each other. The data driver circuit is controlled to apply different polarities of voltages to adjacent data lines with respect to a voltage for the common electrode, and to invert polarities of the voltages to be applied to respective data…
