Patent ID: 7808472

Claim:
A driving method of a liquid crystal display device, which has a plurality of data lines, a plurality of gate lines which cross the data lines, a plurality of liquid crystal cells formed in pixel areas which are defined by the crossing of the data lines and the gate lines, a plurality of first switch devices disposed between the data lines and the gate lines for driving a first liquid crystal cell, and a plurality of second switch devices for driving a second liquid crystal cell which is horizontally adjacent to the first liquid crystal cell, and where the plurality of first switch devices are connected to the (n−1) th(n is a positive integer of not less than 2) gate line and the plurality of second switch devices are connected to the n thgate line, the driving method comprising: generating data that have the same polarity for the liquid crystal cells that are adjacent horizontally and opposite polarities for the liquid crystal cells that are adjacent vertically, supplying the data to the data lines; generating a scan signal that has different swing widths from each other in accordance with the polarity of the data; and supplying the scan signals to the gate lines.
