PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal projector for maximizing high speed responsiveness of a ferroelectric liquid crystal. SOLUTION: This portable liquid crystal projector 100 is equipped with a liquid crystal panel 5 for clamping the ferroelectric liquid crystal between a pair of substrates; and a capacitor for accumulating the charge when each active element provided on each pixel is ON, and supplying the charge to a pixel electrode in an OFF state. A field sequential driving means drives the active element by row in each of six sub-frames corresponding to each color of RGB per frame, and from the first row to the n-th row successively, drives the active element only for a time necessary for charging to align the ferroelectric liquid crystal in a desired state with respect to each capacitor provided on each pixel on each row. A light emission control means controls an LED light source part 6 to emit light in a corresponding color for a prescribed period after elapse of a response time of the ferroelectric liquid crystal on the final row, in each sub-frame.
