Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a plurality of pixels arranged in columns and rows to form a matrix pattern;
• an active-matrix substrate that includes pixel electrodes that are provided for the respective pixels, switching elements that are electrically connected to the pixel electrodes, a plurality of scan lines that run in a row direction, and a plurality of signal lines that run in a column direction;
• a counter substrate that faces the active-matrix substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer that is interposed between the active-matrix substrate and the counter substrate,
• the plurality of pixels including first, second, third and fourth pixels that represent mutually different colors,
• wherein the first and second pixels are arranged alternately in each odd-numbered column of pixels, and
• wherein the third and fourth pixels are arranged alternately in each even-numbered column of pixels, and
• wherein if n is an integer that is equal to or greater than zero,
• the first and second pixels belong to odd- and even-numbered rows, respectively, in a (4n+1)th column of pixels,
• the third and fourth pixels belong to odd- and even-numbered rows, respectively, in a (4n+2)th column of pixels,
• the second and first pixels belong to odd- and even-numbered rows, respectively, in a (4n+3)th column of pixels, and
• the fourth and third pixels belong to odd- and even-numbered rows, respectively, in a (4n+4)th column of pixels.
