Patent ID: 7528821

Claim:
A method of driving a liquid crystal display, including the liquid crystal panel, which is divided into a plurality of blocks having a first gate electrode pair to which scanning pulses of a first width are sequentially supplied and a second gate electrode pair to which scanning pulses of a second and third widths shorter than the first width are sequentially supplied, and in which an effective picture field is displayed on an expanded basis, the method comprising: sequentially generating a first shift clock for controlling supply of scanning pulse having the second width and a second shift clock for controlling supply of scanning pulses having the third width in order to supply the same data during scanning pulses having the second and third widths are sequentially supplied to the second gate electrode pair in one horizontal period when the effective field is expanded; supplying scanning pulses of the second width to one gate electrode of the second gate electrode pair in accordance with the first shift clock; supplying scanning pulses of the third width having different period from the second width to another gate electrode of the second gate electrode pair in accordance with the second shift clock; and a first frame controlling the second width of the scanning pulse, which is supplied to the first gate electrode of the second gate electrode pair, to be narrowed as said scan pulse goes from a first block into a last block in the plurality of blocks; and a second frame controlling the second width of the scanning pulse, which is supplied to the first gate electrode of the second gate electrode pair, to be widened as said scan pulse goes from the first block into the last block, wherein the first and second frames is alternated.
