Liquid crystal display

Abstract

Disclosed is a liquid crystal display comprising: a pair of opposed substrates; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the pair of substrates, the liquid crystal layer having a display alignment state and a non-display alignment state which differ from each other and being subjected to an initialization process so as to be changed from the non-display alignment state to the display alignment state before an image is displayed; storage capacitor electrodes provided on one of the pair of substrates; pixel electrodes provided so as to overlap with the storage capacitor electrodes with an insulator interposed therebetween and disposed between the storage capacitor electrode and the liquid crystal layer, the pixel electrode having a lack portion in a region overlapping with the storage capacitor electrode; and drive means for generating potential difference between the storage capacitor electrode and the pixel electrode to thereby perform the initialization process.
