It is an object to provide an active matrix liquid crystal display device capable of effectively eliminating flicker with a simple structure. An active matrix liquid crystal display device has a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of source busses extending orthogonal to the gate lines, a plurality of liquid crystal elements provided in intersections of the gate lines with the source busses and, as a whole, disposed in matrix form, the liquid crystal devices being connected between a pixel electrode and an opposite electrode connected to a first bus line in a floating condition, a plurality of control circuits provided in relation with the liquid crystal element, the control circuits having: first and second transistors, of which gates are connected to the gate lines respectively, arranged in series between the source busses and the pixel electrode, a third transistor provided between a midpoint node of the first and second transistors and a second bus line to serve as a switch, the second bus line being identical in potential to the first bus line and being electrically isolated from the first bus line, and a fourth transistor connected in parallel with the liquid crystal elements between the pixel electrode and the opposite electrode to detect drain voltage.
