Abstract:
1. A method of driving a liquid crystal display, the method comprising: providing a plurality of pixels in the liquid crystal display, each of the pixels including a switching transistor having a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode, wherein the drain electrode of each transistor is in electrical communication with a corresponding pixel electrode; providing a first driver in communication with a plurality of gate lines, the gate lines being in electrical communication with gate electrodes of the transistors; providing a second driver in communication with a plurality of source lines, the source lines being in electrical communication with source electrodes of the transistors; wherein a first source line is only in communication with pixels of a first color, a second source line immediately adjacent to the first source line is also only in communication with pixels of the first color, and a third source line immediately adjacent to the second source line is only in communication with pixels of a second color different than the first color; and wherein under a condition where the first and second source lines are short-circuited, display operation is carried out using an inverting polarity drive scheme.
