LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND ITS DRIVE METHOD, AND CAMERA SYSTEM

摘要

An active matrix liquid crystal display device of a line-inversion drive type. In a wide mode where a black color is displayed in top and bottom specific areas (black frame portions) each composed of, e. g., two lines in a pixel part (11), the odd gate lines (24-1, 24-y-1) and the even gate lines (24-2, 24-y) in the black frame portion are driven with drive pulses (1) and (2) of another system, which are generated by a drive pulse generating circuit (135), a block level signal having a polarity inverted every H period (one horizontal period) is sequentially fed to signal lines (25-1 to 25-x) through horizontal switches (122-1 to 122-x), and the black frame portion is also subjected a line inversion drive.
