In a display device having a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are arranged
two-dimensionally along a first direction and a second direction, each of the pixels
includes a pair of electrodes applying a voltage to liquid crystals, respective
groups of the pixels arranged along the first direction form a plurality of pixel-rows
juxtaposed along the second direction, and respective groups of the pixels arranged
along the second direction form a plurality of pixel-columns juxtaposed along the
first direction, the present invention repeats a first step for selecting every
Y rows of the pixel-rows sequentially along the second direction N-times and applying
an image signal to one of the pair of electrodes provided for each one of the pixels
belonging to the each Y rows of the pixel-rows as selected, and a second step for
selecting every Z rows of the pixel-rows sequentially along the second direction
M-times and applying a blanking signal to the one of the pair of electrodes provided
for each one of the pixels belonging to the each Z rows of the pixel-rows as selected,
alternately while the Y, the N, the Z, and the M are natural numbers satisfying
relationship of MN and YN/MZ, and another of the pair of electrodes
in each of the pixels is kept at a reference voltage; and inverts polarity of the
blanking signal supplied to each one of the pixel-columns in regard to the reference
voltage to that of the image signal supplied to the each one of the pixel-columns
subsequently to the blanking signal, so that horizontal stripes are prevented from
appearing in a image displayed by the pixel array.
