V3=-Vk-VT×{[Ch×(Ck+Cj+Ch)]/β}
V4=-Vk×[Ck/(Ck+Cj+Ch)]-VT×[(Ch×Ck)/β] となり、V3≦V4≦V2、かつV3≦V1 が成り立つ。
上記のようにVT≦Vt×〔(Cj+Ck+Ch)/Ck〕としておけば、V4≦V1となり、Vkによらず、図21のようにV3≦V4≦V1≦V2とすることができる。これにより、中間調表示時には、画素電極17g(マイナス極性)を含む副画素を超高輝度副画素、画素電極17h(マイナス極性)を含む副画素を高輝度副画素、画素電極17e(マイナス極性)を含む副画素を低輝度副画素、画素電極17f(マイナス極性)を含む副画素を超低輝度副画素とすることができ、画素100~103に中間調を表示させたときは図22(b)のようになる。
図25は実施の形態4にかかる液晶パネルの一部を示す等価回路図である。図25に示すように、本液晶パネルでは、列方向に隣接する2つの画素行に対応して1本のCS信号供給用の保持容量配線が設けられている。データ信号線、走査信号線、各トランジスタおよび各画素電極の配置は図1と同様である。
Cj×V+Ch×V+Ck×(V-v4)=q2・・・式2
Cj×v3+Ch×v3-Ck×(V-v3)=q3=0・・・式3
Cj×v4+Ch×v4-Ck×(V-v4)=q4=0・・・式4
さらに、トランジスタ12a・12bがOFFした後にCS信号CSSP・CSSQのレベルがVp・Vqにレベルシフトするため、このときの画素電極17a~17dの電位をV1~V4とすると、画素電極17a~17dの電荷保存則から以下の式5~9が成り立つ。
Cj×V2+Ch×(V2-Vq)+Ck×(V2-V4)=q2・・・式6
Cj×V3+Ch×(V3-Vp)-Ck×(V1-V3)=q3=0・・・式7
Cj×V4+Ch×(V4-Vq)-Ck×(V2-V4)=q4=0・・・式8
よって、式3・4から、v3=v4=V×[Ck/(Ck+Cj+Ch)]となり、
式1・3・5・7から、
V1=V+Vp×γ
V3=V×[Ck/(Ck+Cj+Ch)]+Vp×γ となる。
V2=V+Vq×γ
V4=V×[Ck/(Ck+Cj+Ch)]+Vq×γ となる。
V=+Vk≧0、かつVp=+VT>Vq=+Vt>0であるため、
V1=+Vk+VT×γ
V2=+Vk+Vt×γ
V3=+Vk×[Ck/(Ck+Cj+Ch)]+VT×γ
V4=+Vk×[Ck/(Ck+Cj+Ch)]+Vt×γとなる。
V=-Vk≦0、かつVp=-VT<Vq=-Vt<0であるため、
V1=-Vk-VT×γ
V2=-Vk-Vt×γ
V3=-Vk×[Ck/(Ck+Cj+Ch)]-VT×γ
V4=-Vk×[Ck/(Ck+Cj+Ch)]-Vt×γとなる。
