Abstract:
1. A method for driving a liquid crystal panel, the liquid crystal panel including a plurality of horizontal scan wires through which a gate selection signal is output, a plurality of data wires thorough which an image data signal is output, a plurality of pixel electrodes surrounded by the horizontal scan wires and the data wires, and a plurality of switching elements connected to the pixel electrodes, wherein the switching elements are controlled by the gate selection signal and during an on-time length period, the switching elements is turned on, and wherein the image data signal output from the data wires is supplied to the pixel electrodes by the switching elements, the method comprising: detecting a peripheral temperature of the liquid crystal panel; and controlling the gate selection signal based on the detected peripheral temperature so that when the detected peripheral temperature is within a normal temperature range, a first on-time length period is set to a first gate selection period, and that when the detected peripheral temperature is within a low temperature range, a second on-time length period is set to a second gate selection period longer than the first gate selection period.
