Patent ID: 7554520

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a plurality of scanning lines organized in sets of at least two; a plurality of data lines overlapping said plurality of scanning lines at a plurality of intersection regions; a plurality of pixels located at said plurality of intersection regions; a scanning line driver configured to drive said plurality of pixels by sequentially scanning said sets of scanning lines; and a data line driver configured to apply a pixel voltage corresponding to an image data to each of said plurality of pixels through corresponding one of said plurality of data lines, wherein said sets of scanning lines each include a first scanning line and a second scanning line, said plurality of pixels include a first pixel associated with said first scanning line and a second pixel associated with said second scanning line, and said scanning line driver drives said second pixel after said first pixel in a first period, and drives said first pixel after said second pixel in a second period, wherein a number of said plurality of scanning lines is 2M (M is a natural number), said scanning line driver includes a shift register, said shift register having 2M flip-flop circuits respective of which are connected to said plurality of scanning lines, an input and an output of a 2i-th (i is an integer not less than 1and not more than M−1) flip-flop circuit are connected to an output of a (2i−1)-th flip-flop circuit and an input of a (2i+1)-th flip-flop circuit in said first period, respectively, and an input and an output of said (2i−1)-th flip-flop circuit are connected to an output of said 2i-th flip-flop circuit and an input of a (2i+2)-th flip-flop circuit in said second period, respectively.
