Provided is a method of driving a liquid crystal panel by providing a gate delay compensation period to a timing at which gate selection signal waveforms supplied to horizontal scanning interconnections change so that a switching element changes from a conduction state to a non-conduction state with respect to a timing at which image data signal waveforms supplied to data interconnections change so that image data corresponding to display contents of a pixel electrode connected to the horizontal scanning interconnections changes to next image data, wherein an ambivalent temperature is detected to make the gate delay compensation period variable in accordance with the ambivalent temperature.
