Liquid crystal display device

1. A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight which is arranged on a back surface of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the backlight includes a plurality of linear light sources which are provided to a surface substantially parallel to a surface of the liquid crystal display panel, are extended in the x direction of the liquid crystal display panel and are arranged in parallel in the y direction, and among respective light sources, at the time of performing the display driving, the light source arranged at a center portion repeats the lighting and the extinguishing and other remaining light sources maintain the lighting, and wherein respective regions which are surrounded by gate signal lines which are extended in the x direction and are arranged in parallel in the y direction and drain signal lines which are extended in the y direction and are arranged in parallel in the x direction on a liquid-crystal-side surface of one of substrates which are arranged to face each other in an opposed manner while sandwiching liquid crystal therebetween are defined as pixel regions and each pixel region is provided with a switching element which is driven by scanning signals from one-side gate signal line and a pixel electrode to which video signals are supplied from the drain signal line through the switching element.

2. A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight which is arranged on a back surface of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the backlight includes a plurality of linear light sources which are provided to a surface substantially parallel to a surface of the liquid crystal display panel, are extended in the x direction of the liquid crystal display panel and are arranged in parallel in the y direction, and among respective light sources, at the time of performing the display driving, the light source arranged at a center portion repeats the lighting and the extinguishing and other remaining light sources maintain the lighting, and wherein to a portion which faces a plane determined by the respective light sources which repeat the lighting and the extinguishing out of a liquid crystal display portion formed of a mass of respective pixel regions of the liquid crystal display panel, backlight blinking control means which detects the change of the video signals to the pixel electrodes of the respective pixel regions at the portion and increases the duty of the lighting time in response to the degree of magnitude of the change is provided.

3. A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight which is arranged on a back surface of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the backlight includes a plurality of linear light sources which are provided to a surface substantially parallel to a surface of the liquid crystal display panel, are extended in the x direction of the liquid crystal display panel and are arranged in parallel in the y direction, and among respective light sources, at the time of performing the display driving, the light source arranged at a center portion repeats the lighting and the extinguishing and other remaining light sources maintain the lighting, and wherein the liquid crystal display device includes a mode which enables the display of a motion picture and a still picture by changing over them and the lighting and the extinguishing of the backlight are repeated in the motion picture display mode.

4. A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal display panel in which respective pixel groups to which video signals are supplied are selected in response to scanning signals supplied to gate signal lines and a backlight which is arranged on a back surface of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the backlight includes a plurality of linear light sources which are provided to a surface substantially parallel to a surface of the liquid crystal display panel, are extended in the direction parallel to the gate signal lines and are arranged in parallel in the direction which intersects the direction parallel to the gate signal lines, and the light source arranged at least at a center portion repeats the lighting and the extinguishing and the light source disposed at least at one of both sides of the center portion maintains the lighting, and wherein the liquid crystal display device includes a mode which enables the display of a motion picture and a still picture by changing over them and the lighting and the extinguishing of the backlight are repeated in the motion picture display mode.
