ABSTRACT:
A liquid crystal display cell includes a voltage amplification function therein for driving the cell with an AC voltage. The cell includes gate lines running in a first direction, a source line running in a second direction different from the first direction, a switching means which is turned on and off by a voltage applied to a first gate line so as to supply a voltage from the source line, a fixed capacitance capacitor is connected to the source line via said switching means, and a variable capacitance capacitor is connected to the source line via said switching means in parallel to said constant capacitor. The variable capacitor is connected to a second gate line which is independent of the first gate line, and the capacitance of the variable capacitor changes according to the voltage applied thereto through a second gate line.
