Liquid crystal display device and driving method thereof

Abstract

The liquid crystal display device includes: a plurality of scanning lines; a plurality of signal lines provided so as to cross the scanning signals; pixel capacitors, having pixel electrodes and counter electrodes (common electrodes), and corresponding to a liquid crystal layer, which are respectively formed on pixels corresponding to intersections of the scanning lines and the signal lines. The liquid crystal layer has liquid crystal molecules, aligned in random directions throughout a liquid crystal panel, each of which has a substantially fixed twist angle in a direction perpendicular to substrates for sandwiching the liquid crystal layer. In the liquid crystal display device, there is provided a Vcom adjustment circuit which supplies common electrode voltages to the counter electrodes (common electrodes) and is capable of adjusting the common electrode voltages. As a result, it is possible to display an image which can be viewed at a wider visual angle.
