LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal device enabling a display brighter than hereto fore without causing any gray scale inversion. SOLUTION: In this liquid crystal display device of a scattering mode, when a direction of observation is set to a direction different from an exit direction of the light emitted forward from a liquid crystal layer in a transmission state of the liquid crystal layer, and the light is observed from the direction of observation, the device is provided with such a voltage-brightness characteristic as a brightness level rises once from its initial level up to reach a peak value and then ascends to almost zero level as an impression voltage ascends from zero V. Then the voltage range between a voltage value Vp at which the brightness level in this brightness-voltage characteristic takes a peak value and a voltage value V2 at which the brightness level takes almost 0 level is adopted as a driving voltage range.
