Provided is a
liquid crystal display device capable of switching between a privacy mode and a public mode and suppressing changes in brightness and
hue of a
liquid crystal panel in the privacy mode and the public mode. A
liquid crystal display device according to the present invention includes a liquid
crystal panel having a first
electrode and a second
electrode on a substrate, a second substrate having a third
electrode, and a
control unit for driving the liquid
crystal panel, the
control unit having a display
mode switching unit, a
gamma correction table storage unit, a
gamma correction unit, and an image data output unit, the display
mode switching unit performs switching between a narrow viewing angle mode and a wide viewing angle mode by controlling a
voltage applied to the third electrode, the
gamma correction table storage unit stores a gamma correction table in which a
gradation value is associated with a
voltage applied to the first electrode and / or the second electrode, and the gamma correction unit stores a gamma correction table in which the
gradation value is associated with the
voltage applied to the first electrode and / or the second electrode in the narrow viewing angle mode and the wide viewing angle mode. Different gamma correction tables are acquired from a gamma correction table storage unit, and gamma correction is performed on the basis of each gamma correction table.
