Provided is a display device which can prevent screen noise caused such that a potential of a common electrode is reversed after a memory mode enters from a refresh period to an entire write-in period, and a method for driving the display device. The memory mode includes (i) an entire write-in period in which a potential of the common electrode (COM) is fixed and the display data is written into all the memory circuits (node (PIX)) in each row and (ii) a refresh period in which the display data which has been written during the entire write-in period is refreshed at least once while the common electrode (COM) is driven. In the memory mode, the potential of the common electrode during the entire write-in period being a potential which the common electrode having been driven had at the end of a refresh period preceding the entire write-in period.

In a memory liquid crystal display device, a potential of a storage capacitor line signal (CS) supplied to the CS lines (CSL(i)) are once decreased (ΔVcs) while the gate lines (GL(i)) are made simultaneously active (period t4, period t10) in the data holding period (T2), and the potential of the storage capacitor line signal (CS) is made back to its original potential while the gate lines (GL(i)) are made simultaneously inactive and the refresh output control lines (RC(i)) are made active (period t5, period t11). This reduces flicker, thereby allowing for improvement in display quality of the memory liquid crystal display device.
