Patent ID: 8063860

Claim:
A display device comprising: a plurality of gate lines adapted to transmit a plurality of normal gate signals having a gate-on voltage and a gate-off voltage; a plurality of data lines crossing the gate lines and adapted to transmit a plurality of data voltages; a plurality of storage electrode lines substantially parallel to the gate lines and 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; a plurality of pseudo gate driving circuits connected to the gate lines and adapted to generate a plurality of pseudo gate signals based on the normal gate signals; and a plurality of storage signal generating circuits connected to the storage electrode lines and adapted to generate the storage signals based on the pseudo gate signals, wherein each of the storage signal generating circuits is adapted to apply an associated storage signal to an associated one of the storage electrode lines after the liquid crystal capacitor and storage capacitors of an associated row of pixels have been charged by the data voltages, wherein each of the storage signal generating circuits is adapted to change a voltage of its associated storage signal from a low level to a high level if the data voltages have a positive polarity, and from the high level to the low level if the data voltages have a negative polarity.
