The present invention relates to a driving method for displaying television signals on an X-Y matrix type liquid crystal display panel having both switching elements and memory elements for respective picture elements which utilizes the phenomenon that high frequencies reduce the erasing time of the liquid crystals. According to the present invention, when a panel is driven by means of a line at a time process, each horizontal scanning period is divided into two periods, a video signal period and a erasing signal period, thereby to provide a composite signal having a video signal portion and an erasing signal portion so that a first pulse corresponding to the video signal period writes the video signal on that panel and a plurality of second pulses corresponding to the erasing signal period applies the erasing signal to the panel for erasing.
