A memory-type liquid crystal display device includes transistors (N1, N2), retention electrodes (MRY), refresh output control sections (RS1), and capacitors (Cb1). In a data retention period, an electric potential of each of the retention electrodes (MRY) is changed via a corresponding one of the capacitors (Cb1) by changing an electric potential level of a retention capacitor wire signal that is supplied to a corresponding CS line (CSL(i)). Each of the refresh output control sections (RS1) receives the electric potential thus changed of a corresponding one of the retention electrodes (MRY) via the input section and controls an electric potential of a corresponding pixel electrode (PIX) in accordance with the electric potential thus changed.
