Abstract

A flicker of an FFS liquid crystal display device that is driven at a low refresh rate is reduced. In an FFS liquid crystal display, a pixel electrode and a first common electrode included in a liquid crystal element are formed on an element substrate side, and a second common electrode is formed on another substrate (counter substrate) side. By making the first and second common electrodes have the same potential, generation of a residual DC voltage can be suppressed in a pixel. Thus, even when a refresh rate is lowered, change in transmittance of a pixel can be suppressed in a data retention period, so that a flicker can be reduced.
