<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display images in high contrast without raising the manufacture cost for manufacturing a retardation plate as much as possible, for instance. <P>SOLUTION: Prior to the timing of displaying an image on the basis of image signals by the liquid crystal display device (1), a drive circuit part (210) sets the potential of a pixel electrode (9a) so as to apply an initial application voltage (Va) to a liquid crystal molecule (50b) in a pixel region (72g1) or the like on the basis of initial application voltage data stored in a memory (220), that is the setting value of the initial application voltage. Thus, the pre-tilt angle (θa) of the liquid crystal molecule (50b) is set so as to compensate the phase difference of the retardation plate (400a), that is to emit display light emitted through the retardation plate (400a) shifted from a phase difference to be originally set in a target polarization state, for the retardation plate (400a) having the phase difference larger than the phase difference of incident light generated by the modulation of the incident light by the liquid crystal molecule (50b). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
