Abstract
A liquid crystal display element is arranged so that a scanning line electrode group and a signal line electrode group, which are formed by arranging a plurality of electrodes parallel, are placed in a direction where they intersect each other, and liquid crystal intervenes between these electrode groups, and input directions of signal voltages to be applied to the signal line electrode group are opposite in some electrode. As a result, nonuniformity of temperature on a display screen, which is caused by heat generation according to driving of the liquid crystal and causes variations of a driving property of the liquid crystal, is suppressed, and thus a satisfactory display state is realized.
Claims5
A liquid crystal display element, comprising:
- a scanning line electrode group and a signal line electrode group which are each composed of a plurality of electrodes, with each of the plurality of electrodes in the respective groups being arranged parallel and electrically insulated from each other,
- wherein the scanning line electrode group and the signal line electrode group are located so as to cross each other and liquid crystal intervenes between the electrode groups, and
- signal voltages are applied to some signal line electrodes of the signal line electrode group at points toward one end of the signal line electrode group while other signal voltages are applied to other signal line electrodes of the signal line electrode group at points toward an opposite end of the signal line electrode group.
