An active matrix substrate includes a transparent substrate, pairs each having an n-type thin-film transistor and a p-type thin-film transistor formed on the transparent substrate, gate bus lines and source bus lines connected to the n-type and p-type transistors for controlling the n-type and p-type transistors, and pixel-corresponding electrodes controlled by the transistor pairs respectively. Drains of an n-type transistor and a p-type transistor in each of the pairs are connected to each other via a related pixel corresponding electrode. First pulses are applied to gates of the n-type transistors. Second pulses are applied to gates of the p-type transistors. There is provided a difference in phase between the first pulses and the second pulses.
