Patent ID: 8659583

Claim:
A display apparatus, comprising: a display panel in which a plurality of data lines of a first side of the panel and a plurality of data lines of a second side of the panel are connected to one another with connections which are schematically symmetric about a line between the data lines of the first and second sides; a first gate driving unit for providing a gate signal to the first side of the panel; a second gate driving unit for providing a gate signal to the second side of the panel; and a driver circuit configured to control the first gate driving unit and the second gate driving unit, and to provide a data signal to the data lines of the first side of the panel and to the data lines of the second side of the panel; wherein the driver circuit is further configured to generate a first gate control signal to the first gate driving unit and a second gate control signal to the second gate driving unit, and wherein each gate control signal comprises a vertical synchronization start signal that is applied to each gate driving unit at the same time.
