In the driving method for a liquid crystal device according to Example 3, the COM signal is a signal that varies in the first period between the first potential (5 V) and the second potential (0 V) that is smaller than the first potential, as illustrated in 
The driving signal S1 stays at the fourth potential (0 V) between the time t0 and the time t1, varies at the time t1 from the fourth potential (0 V) to the third potential (5V), and is maintained at the third potential (5 V) between the time t1 and the time t8. In addition, the driving signal S1 varies at the time t8 from the third potential (5 V) to the fourth potential (0 V), and is maintained at the fourth potential (0 V) between the time t8 and the time t13. The drive signal S1 varies at the time t13 from the fourth potential (0 V) to the third potential (5 V), and is maintained at the third potential (5 V) between the time t13 and the time t18. Furthermore, the driving signal S1 varies at the time t18 from the third potential (5 V) to the fourth potential (0 V), and is maintained at the fourth potential (0 V) between the time t18 and the time t25.
