Patent ID: 8334862

Claim:
A method of operating a display apparatus in which one source output of a source driver is connected with first to N-th data lines through first to N-th time division switches, said method comprising: driving a first pixel positioned in a first horizontal line and connected with one of said first to N-th data lines, by feeding a first drive voltage to said one of said first to N-th data lines from said one source output with an associated one of said first to N-th time division switches turned on; and driving a second pixel positioned in a second horizontal line next to said first horizontal line and connected with said one of said first to N-th data lines, by feeding a second drive voltage to said one of said first to N-th data lines from said source output with the associated one of said first to N-th time division switches, wherein said associated one time division switch is kept turned on during a time period from a start time of said driving said first pixel to a start time of said driving said second pixel from a first horizontal period to a second horizontal period, wherein a second time division switch is kept turned on through a transition from the second horizontal period to a third horizontal period such that at least one of the time division switches is kept turned on periodically for each transition of a horizontal period.
