发明名称 Display device
摘要 A display device which can prevent deterioration of a liquid crystal and reduction in display quality at low power consumption without lowering an aperture ratio is provided. An opposite voltage (Vcom) is applied to an opposite electrode (80) of a liquid crystal capacitive element (Clc). One ends of a pixel electrode (20), a first switch circuit (22), a second switch circuit (23), and a first terminal of a second transistor (T2) form an internal node (N1). The other ends of the first switch circuit (22) and the second switch circuit (23) are connected to a source line (SL) and a voltage supply line (VSL), respectively. A control terminal of a first transistor (T1) in the second switch circuit (23), a second terminal of the second transistor (T2), and one end of a boost capacitive element (Cbst) form an output node (N2). The other end of the boost capacitive element (Cbst) and the control terminal of the second transistor (T2) are connected to a boost line (BST) and a reference line (REF), respectively. This configuration makes it possible to perform an action (self-refresh action) to return the absolute value of the voltage between both ends of a display element part to the value at the time of a last writing action without performing a writing action.
