Abstract

According to one embodiment, a lateral electric-field type of liquid crystal display device includes a display panel and a controller, wherein a frame frequency falls within a range of 1 Hz to 10 Hz, an off-leak current of each of the TFTs has a value of 1×10 −15 A or less, a resistivity of a liquid crystal and a resistivity of an alignment film both fall within one of a first range and a second range, the first range being 1×10 13 to 5×10 13 Ω·cm, the second range being 5×10 13 to 5×10 14 Ω·cm, and a relationship of “R1×C1≈R2×C2” is satisfied, where R 1 is a resistance and C 1 is a capacity with respect to each pixel, R 2 is a resistance and C 2 is a capacity with respect to each pixel.

Claims (16)

1. A lateral electric-field type of liquid crystal display device comprising:

a display panel in which a plurality of liquid crystal pixels and TFTs are arranged in a matrix, the TFTs being configured to perform or stop application of pixel voltages to the liquid crystal pixels; and

a controller configured to perform intermittent driving to rewrite image signals to the liquid crystal pixels,

wherein

a frame frequency falls within a range of 1 Hz to 10 Hz,

an off-leak current of each of the TFTs has a value of 1×10 −15 A or less,

a resistivity of a liquid crystal applied to each of the liquid crystal pixels and a resistivity of an alignment film applied to the liquid crystal pixels both fall within one of a first range and a second range, the first range being set as a range of 1×10 13 to 5×10 13 Ω·cm, the second range being set as a range of 5×10 13 to 5×10 14 Ω·cm, and

a relationship of “R 1 ×C 1 ≈R 2 ×C 2 ” is satisfied, where R 1 is a resistance of the liquid crystal with respect to said each liquid crystal pixel, C 1 is a capacity of the liquid crystal with respect to said each liquid crystal pixel, R 2 is a resistance of the alignment film with respect to said each liquid crystal pixel, and C 2 is a capacity of the alignment film with respect to said each liquid crystal pixel.

2. A lateral electric-field type of liquid crystal display device comprising:

a display panel in which a plurality of liquid crystal pixels and TFTs are arranged in a matrix, the TFTs being configured to perform or stop application of pixel voltages to the liquid crystal pixels; and

a controller configured to perform intermittent driving to rewrite image signals to the liquid crystal pixels,

wherein

a frame frequency falls within a range of 10 Hz to 20 Hz,

an off-leak current of each of the TFTs has a value of 1×10 −15 A or less,

a resistivity of a liquid crystal applied to the liquid crystal pixels and a resistivity of an alignment film applied to the liquid crystal pixels both fall within one of a first range and a second range, the first range being set as a range of 1×10 12 to 5×10 12 Ω·cm, the second range being set as a range of 5×10 12 to 5×10 14 Ω·cm, and

a relationship of “R 1 ×C 1 ≈R 2 ×C 2 ” is satisfied, where R 1 is a resistance of the liquid crystal with respect to said each liquid crystal pixel, C 1 is a capacity of the liquid crystal with respect to said each liquid crystal pixel, R 2 is a resistance of the alignment film with respect to said each liquid crystal pixel, and C 2 is a capacity of the alignment film with respect to said each liquid crystal pixel.
