Liquid crystal display device and drive method thereof

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a display section including scanning lines, data lines, and pixel circuits, a scanning line drive circuit, a data line drive circuit, a first voltage output circuit, and a second voltage output circuit. The pixel circuit includes a liquid crystal capacitance having a pixel electrode, and applies one of a first voltage and a second voltage to the pixel electrode of the liquid crystal capacitance, in accordance with data written by driving the scanning line and the data line. The first voltage output circuit controls the first voltage to have a level that is more distant from the second voltage than a normal level, in accordance with a timing when a voltage of the pixel electrode changes. With this, a reflective type liquid crystal display device performing binary display and capable of preventing an afterimage caused by an orientation abnormality is provided.
