Patent ID: 8169578

Claim:
A method of driving a liquid crystal display device, comprising: a step A of applying first video signals corresponding to second liquid crystal cells to data lines during a first-half ½ frame interval of one frame interval, wherein the second liquid crystal cells are provided at one side of each data line, wherein the first video signals are provided from a data driver; a step B of applying the first video signals from the data lines to the second liquid crystal cells through second switching parts under control of a first control line and gate lines, wherein each second switching part is provided for each second liquid crystal cell; a step C of applying second video signals corresponding to first liquid crystal cells to the data lines during a second-half ½ frame interval of the one frame interval, wherein the first liquid crystal cells are provided at the other side of each data line wherein the second video signals are provided from the data driver; a step D of applying the second video signals from the data lines to the first liquid crystal cells through first switching parts under control of a second control line and the gate lines, wherein each first switching part is provided for each first liquid crystal cell; wherein the step B comprises: a step B-1 of applying the first control signal to a fourth thin film transistor of the each second switching part to turn on the fourth thin film transistors during the first-half ½ frame interval, wherein the each second switching part is connected to each of the second liquid crystal cells; a step B-2 of sequentially applying a gate signal to all the gate lines to sequentially turn on each third thin film transistor included in the each second switching part during the first-half ½ frame interval, wherein the third thin film transistor is connected between the data line and the fourth thin film transistor; wherein the step D comprises: a step D-1 of applying the second control signal to a second thin film transistor of the each first switching part to turn on the second thin film transistors during the second-half ½ frame interval, wherein the each first switching part is connected to each of the first liquid crystal cells; a step D-2 of sequentially applying a gate signal to all the gate lines to sequentially turn on each first thin film transistor included in the each first switching part during the second-half ½ frame interval, wherein the first thin film transistor is connected between the data line and the second thin film transistor.
