Patent ID: 7268759

Claim:
A driving method of a liquid crystal display comprising a back-light module and a liquid crystal display panel, wherein the liquid crystal display panel has a plurality of pixels, the driving method of the liquid crystal display comprising the steps of: dividing a plurality of grayscale values 0, 1, 2, . . . , N into a plurality of segments, where N is the highest grayscale of the image display system; detecting a maximum grayscale X of all pixels in the present image; adjusting output brightness of the back-light module to (Y/N)×L, where Y is upper limit of one of the segments in which the maximum grayscale X is located, L is a corresponding output brightness of the back-light module to the grayscale N, wherein the corresponding output brightness of the back-light module is retained when the grayscale maximum X is located in either a range between Y and Y+S or a range between Z-S and Z of a present image, where Z is lower limit of one of the segments in which segment the grayscale maximum X is located and S is the predetermined threshold; and adjusting a grayscale value Xa of each pixel to a mapping grayscale value Xb, and driving each of the pixels with the grayscale value Xb accordingly.
