Patent ID: 8803864

Claim:
A method of driving a display panel, the method comprising: outputting odd-numbered and even-numbered gate signals having a first gate-on voltage during a first period; outputting first data of odd-numbered and even-numbered horizontal lines in response to the odd-numbered and even-numbered gate signals having the first gate-on voltage; outputting odd-numbered or even-numbered gate signals having a second gate-on voltage during a second period, wherein the second gate-on voltage is lower than the first gate-on voltage; and outputting second data of the odd-numbered horizontal lines in response to the odd-numbered gate signals having the second gate-on voltage, or outputting second data of the even-numbered horizontal lines in response to the even-numbered gate signals having the second gate-on voltage, wherein the second period corresponds to a first blank period, and when the odd-numbered gate signals having the second gate-on voltage and the second data of the odd-numbered horizontal lines are outputted during the first blank period, the even-numbered gate signals having the second gate-on voltage and the second data of the even-numbered horizontal lines are outputted during a second blank period, or when the even-numbered gate signals having the second gate-on voltage and the second data of the even-numbered horizontal lines are outputted during the first blank period, the odd-numbered gate signals having the second gate-on volae and the second data of the odd-numbered horizontal lines are outputted during the second blank period.
