Patent ID: 7907107

Claim:
A display device configured to display images in a plurality of frames, the display device comprising: a plurality of gate lines adapted to transmit a plurality of gate signals; a plurality of data lines adapted to transmit a plurality of data voltages; a plurality of storage electrode lines adapted to transmit a plurality of storage signals; a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix having a plurality of rows, wherein each pixel comprises a switching element connected to one of the gate lines and one of the data lines, a liquid crystal capacitor connected to the switching element and a common voltage, and a storage capacitor connected to the switching element and one of the storage electrode lines; and a plurality of signal generating circuits connected to the storage electrode lines, wherein each of the signal generating circuits is adapted to apply a storage signal having a first or second voltage to an associated one of the storage electrode lines in response to a gate signal immediately after the liquid crystal capacitor and storage capacitors of an associated row of pixels have been charged by the data voltages, adapted to invert the voltage of the storage signal in response to a first control signal, and adapted to maintain the storage signal for a first predetermined time period in response to a second control signal and a third control signal, and wherein at least one of the signal generating circuits comprises a second transistor having a control terminal connected to the one of the gate lines and an input terminal adapted to receive the second control signal, and a third transistor having a control terminal connected to the one of the gate lines and an input terminal adapted to receive the third control signal.
