US Patent 9360704 Liquid crystal display device, electronic device, and driving methods thereof

An object of the present invention is to provide a driving method by which excellent image quality and high video performance can be obtained as well as liquid crystal display devices and electronic devices with excellent image quality and high video performance. A pixel for monitor use is provided in a liquid crystal display device, and luminance of the pixel is detected using a light sensor. Herewith, because changes in luminance of a backlight with changes in the environment and the amount of time it takes for response of the liquid crystal become able to be calculated, control of the backlight in real time using the calculated information can be performed.
