In an active matrix type display device, a signal voltage is applied from a signal line driving circuit via an active element such as a TFT to display electrodes on a matrix substrate, and a common voltage is applied to a counter electrode on a facing substrate so that the common voltage is shared by respective display cells. A level of the common voltage is switched in every refresh period of a different length. Thus, it is possible to appropriately set a value of the common voltage which is a reference for specifying an effective voltage of positive polarity and an effective voltage of negative polarity according to the refresh periods. As a result, even when the refresh periods of a different length exist in a mixed manner, it is possible to equalize the effective voltage of positive polarity and the effective voltage of negative polarity so as to suppress an occurrence of a flicker.
