Patent ID: 7358948

Claim:
A driving method of a liquid crystal display apparatus including a liquid crystal cell of vertically aligned mode driven in a normally black mode, said method comprising: (a) correcting a desired target gradation so as to facilitate a gradation transition from a current gradation to the desired target gradation; (b) judging whether or not a combination of the current gradation and the desired target gradation corresponds to a predetermined first combination which causes a time required for a gradation in a second area of a pixel to reach a second target gradation to become not less than a predetermined second tolerance, when facilitating the gradation transition to such a degree that a gradation in a first area of the pixel does not exceed a predetermined first tolerance indicative of a first target gradation, and which causes the gradation in the second area of the pixel to exceed the first tolerance, when facilitating the gradation transition to such a degree that a time required for the gradation in the first area of the pixel to reach the first target gradation becomes less than the second tolerance; (c) adding a predetermined first value to the desired target gradation prior to the step (a), when the combination of the current gradation and the desired target gradation corresponds to the first combination; and (d) subtracting a predetermined second value from the current gradation, prior to the step (a), when a combination of the current gradation and a previous gradation corresponds to the first combination.
