- the point in time when the black voltage application pulse Pb appears is shifted by one horizontal scanning period (1H) for each scanning signal G (j). Therefore, the black display period Tbk is also shifted by one horizontal scanning period (1H) for each display line, and the same length of black insertion is performed for all display lines. In this way, a sufficient black insertion period is secured without shortening the charging period at the pixel capacity Cp for writing pixel data. Also, it is not necessary to increase the operating speed of the source driver 300 etc. for black insertion.
- the voltage of each data signal line is a value corresponding to black display during the black signal insertion period when the polarity of the data signal is inverted. Is selected in the effective scanning period for pixel value writing and is selected in the black signal insertion period at least once after a predetermined pixel value holding period elapses. As a result, the period of black display is the next period until the pixel is written in the effective scanning period until the pixel value is selected, and therefore black display of the same length is performed for all display lines. Therefore, the display performance of moving images can be improved by impulse generation by ensuring a sufficient black insertion period without shortening the charging period in the pixel capacity.
- FIG. 16 shows a display gamma characteristic curve for each of the case where the display is not impulsed by black insertion (off: solid line) and the case where it is performed (on: broken line).
- the horizontal axis represents the value obtained by standardizing the gradation of the display data with the maximum gradation
