(57) [Summary] In a multilayer liquid crystal display device, coupling with a scanning line, a signal line, or the like provided in a lower layer side is effectively suppressed. SOLUTION: A plurality of pixel electrodes P1 to P1 alternately stacked are provided. P3, a plurality of liquid crystal layers LC1 to LC3, and a shield electrode PSmn provided below the lowermost pixel electrode. And a first control circuit Tr for supplying a voltage to each pixel electrode and applying a desired voltage to each liquid crystal layer other than the uppermost liquid crystal layer. After applying a desired voltage to each liquid crystal layer other than the uppermost liquid crystal layer by the first control circuit using Tr1, Tr2 and Tr4, While the pixel electrodes other than the uppermost pixel electrode are in a floating state, a voltage is supplied to the uppermost pixel electrode to apply a desired voltage to the uppermost liquid crystal layer, and the shield electrode is applied to the uppermost pixel electrode. A second control circuit Tr3 for supplying a voltage corresponding to the supplied voltage. |
