Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• drain lines extending in a first direction and arranged in parallel in a second direction;
• gate lines extending in the second direction and arranged in parallel in the first direction;
• a pixel electrode formed in the area of a pixel surrounded by the drain lines and the gate lines;
• and
• a plate-like common electrode disposed opposite to the pixel electrode at least in each pixel,
• wherein an image signal after inversion of the polarity of the gray scale voltage to be output to each pixel, is supplied the pixels adjacent to each other in the second direction,
• wherein an image signal after inversion of the polarity of the gray scale voltage to be output to each pixel, is supplied to the pixels adjacent to each other in the first direction in every N-th (N≧2) line,
• wherein the liquid crystal display device further includes a first electrode and a second electrode,
• wherein, of the pixels adjacent to each other in the first direction, the first pixel electrode is provided in pixels at least in one line to which the image signal is input immediately after inversion of the polarity of the gray scale voltage,
• wherein the second pixel electrode is different from the first pixel electrode in the electrode area, and
• wherein the area of the first pixel electrode is larger than the area of the second pixel electrode.
