An image display apparatus and method that provides a flicker-proof thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal-display (TFT-LCD) is provided. The TFT-LCD has a first pixel circuit group having a plurality of first pixel circuits each having a first capacitance; a second pixel circuit group having a plurality of second pixel circuits each having a second capacitance; and a third pixel circuit group having a plurality of the first pixel circuits and the second pixel circuits arranged in accordance with a weighted average of m number of first pixel circuits and n number of second pixel circuits. The m and n first and second pixel circuits form an average third capacitance greater than the first capacitance of the plurality of first pixel circuits but less than the second capacitance of the plurality of second pixel circuits, wherein m and n are positive integers. The pixel circuit groups are formed on a matrix substrate.
