Abstract:
1. A method for driving a liquid crystal display including a top substrate common electrode a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, a plurality of common electrode lines arranged alternately between the plurality of gate lines, a plurality of pixels connected to the plurality of gate lines and the plurality of data lines and arranged in a matrix, said method comprising: applying a first data voltage of a first polarity to the plurality of data lines; providing a first scanning signal for odd pixels in an odd row and even pixels in an even row; applying a second data voltage of a second polarity opposite to the first polarity to the plurality of data lines; providing a second scanning signal for odd pixels in an even row and even pixels in an odd row; supplying the common electrode lines with a swinging common electrode voltage; and supplying an overshoot voltage to a voltage applied to each pixel in response to the first data voltage and the second data voltage upon a variation of a level of the swinging common electrode voltage, wherein a level of the voltage applied to each pixel is varied in response to the overshoot voltage.
