Accordingly, to apply the three electrodes 121, 122, and 123 with the AC signals having the same frequency, shifted in phase from each other, and that varies their potential between a positive potential and a negative potential, taking the COM potential as a reference, in the second period longer than the first period, it is only required to have the predetermined potential being maintained by supplying the driving signal to each of the three electrodes 121, 122, and 123 when the control signal is in an ON state. In other words, the potential of the driving signal in the duration in which the control signal is in an OFF state is not limited to being maintained at certain potential (the third potential or the fourth potential) as indicated in Example 4. The driving method for the liquid crystal device according to Example 5 indicates another example of the driving signal when the control signal is in an OFF state.
As illustrated in
