Liquid crystal display device and electronic apparatus

Abstract

The present disclosure aims at improving burn-in in a liquid crystal display device. A liquid crystal display device of the present disclosure includes: an effective pixel portion (21) in which effective pixels contributing to display are arranged; a dummy pixel portion (22) which is provided adjacent to the effective pixel portion (21) and in which dummy pixels not contributing to the display are arranged; and a pixel drive portion configured to drive the effective pixels of the effective pixel portion (21) and the dummy pixels of the dummy pixel portion (22) by reversing a voltage applied to a liquid crystal (70) with a given period with a reference voltage as a center. The effective pixels and the dummy pixels each have a pixel transistor (11) and a retention capacitor (13). In addition, with respect to retention characteristics of a pixel electric potential in relation to the reference voltage, the retention characteristics of the dummy pixel portion are made asymmetrical relative to the retention characteristics of the effective pixel portion.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
