<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal display panel capable of extending a temperature range where a fast response and high contrast can be obtained, a liquid crystal display device, and an electronic apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid crystal display device includes the liquid crystal display panel and a driving circuit for driving the liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel includes a liquid crystal layer having a positive dielectric anisotropy, a vertical alignment film for controlling alignment of the liquid crystal layer in a vertical direction, and an electrode for generating a lateral electric field in the liquid crystal layer by application of a voltage to change an alignment direction of the liquid crystal layer. The driving circuit is configured so as to apply a prescribed high voltage to the electrode, where the prescribed high voltage indicates such a voltage that birefringence of the liquid crystal layer with its temperature in an isotropic phase temperature range is equal to or approximately equal to that of the liquid crystal layer with its temperature in a nematic phase temperature range. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
