A polarity inversion control section (9) supplies a polarity designation signal, which designates a polarity of a data signal, to a data line drive circuit (5) while reversing a polarity of the polarity designation signal every frame. Even in a case where a pause driving control section (8) receives a designation signal that designates a sum of the number of frames constituting a scanning period and the number of frames constituting a pause period to be an even number, the pause driving control section (8) maintains the sum of the number of frames constituting a scanning period and the number of frames constituting a pause period to be an odd number.
