Abstract:
1. A display apparatus comprising: a plurality of data lines which transmit a data signal received from a data driving unit; a plurality of first gate lines and a plurality of second gate lines, which cross the data lines and are arranged in such a manner that the first gate lines and the second gate lines alternate with each other; a plurality of pixels, at least one of the pixels comprising a first sub-pixel electrode to which a first data voltage is applied by a first switching device connected to one of the first gate lines and a second sub-pixel electrode to which a second data voltage is applied by a second switching device connected to one of the second gate lines; and a gate driving unit which selects a scanning group comprising at least two of the first gate lines and at least two of the second gate lines, wherein the gate driving unit applies a gate-on voltage to the first gate lines of the scanning group according to a first predetermined scanning order to drive the first sub-pixel of the at least one pixel, before applying the gate-on voltage to the second gate lines of the scanning group according to a second predetermined scanning order to drive the second sub-pixel of the at least one pixel, wherein the first switching device and the second switching device are connected to a same one of the data lines, and the gate lines to which the first and second switching devices are connected are separate and distinct from one another, wherein data voltages respectively applied to the first and second sub-pixel electrodes in a same frame have a same absolute value and opposite polarities with respect to a reference voltage.
