Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a liquid crystal panel; a timing controller providing an enable signal to output a digital image data; a data driver converting the digital image data into an analog image signal; and a polarity generator formed within the data driver which receives a source output enable (SOE) signal of the timing controller and divides a frequency of the signal into ½ to thus generate a polarity control signal, wherein the data driver includes: a shift register shifting a source start pulse input from the timing controller in response to a source sampling clock to generate a sampling signal; a data register temporarily storing the digital image data from the timing controller, and supplying the digital image data to a first latch, the first latch latching the digital image data line-by-line in response to the sampling signal sequentially input from the shift register; a second latch latching the digital image data input from the first latch, and outputting the latched data simultaneously in response to the enable signal from the timing controller; a gray-scale voltage generator generating gray-scale voltages of a positive polarity and a negative polarity for dividing an externally provided reference voltage; a digital-to-analog converter selecting a gray-scale voltage from the gray-scale voltage generator corresponding to the digital image data input from the second latch in response to the polarity control signal; and an output unit for buffering a pixel voltage signal from the digital-to-analog converter.
