摘要:
A liquid crystal display device incorporating an active matrix substrate having an inter-layer insulating film between a pixel electrode and gate and source signal lines. In this liquid crystal display device, the source signal line has a double-layer structure of an upper-layer line and a lower-layer line, but the upper-layer line is eliminated at the intersection of the gate signal line and the source signal line. This structure prevents a decrease in the thickness of the inter-layer insulating layer on the intersection of the gate signal line and the source signal line.

The first, second, and third signal generating steps all include alternately applying an ON signal for turning on the switching element and an OFF signal for turning off the switching element to the gate bus line. The first signal generating step includes applying a first detecting signal having a voltage which changes before the ON signal is applied to the source bus line. The second signal generating step includes applying a second detecting signal having a voltage which changes before and after the ON signal is applied. The third signal generating step includes applying a third detecting signal having a voltage which changes after the ON signal is applied.
