Patent ID: 7737935

Claim:
A method of driving a liquid crystal display device having a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines and a plurality of pixel electrodes, comprising: applying sequentially a respective gate signal to the plurality of gate lines, the respective gate signal being applied to odd gates lines of the plurality of gate lines for a first pulse time period and being applied to even gate lines of the plurality of gate lines for a second pulse time period different from the first pulse time period; and supplying a respective data signal to the plurality of data lines wherein, an adjacent odd gate line and even gate line constitute a gate line pair, and a polarity of the respective data signal corresponding to the odd gate line of the gate line pair is substantially equal to a polarity of the respective data signal corresponding to the even gate line of the gate line pair, wherein a polarity of the respective data signal corresponding to the gate line pair is substantially opposite to a polarity of the respective data signal corresponding to an adjacent gate line pair, wherein a polarity of the respective data signal is inverted every frame, and wherein the respective gate signals applied to a first gate line and a second gate line of the gate line pair further includes pre-gate signals, and wherein the pre-gate signals are applied to the first gate line and the second gate line prior to two-single horizontal time periods.
