Each of pixels arranged in a matrix has at least first and second subpixels defined to include an electrode pair of a subpixel electrode and a counter electrode facing each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. A scanning signal is applied from a scanning signal line of each row of the matrix to a gate electrode of a TFT for applying a data signal from a source signal line to the subpixel electrode included in each of the first and second subpixels. A discharge capacitor electrode is connected to the subpixel electrode of the second subpixel through another TFT. When the signal width of the scanning signal is within a range from M times (M is 0 or 1) the length of 1 H to (M+1) times, a discharge signal line is connected to the scanning signal line, which is scanned after N horizontal scanning periods (N is M+2, that is, 2 or 3), by a signal-to-signal connection line.
