Patent ID: 8373730

Claim:
A driving method for reducing image sticking associated with images of a liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal display comprising a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines, and a plurality of pixel areas, the driving method comprising: according to a data-to-voltage relation, converting a first data to a first voltage and a second voltage; according to the data-to-voltage relation, converting a second data to a third voltage and a fourth voltage; in a first half of a period of time, turning on a first scan line of the plurality of scan lines; in the first half of the period of time, applying a first voltage to a first pixel area of the plurality of pixel areas through a first data line; in a second half of a period of time, turning on the first scan line of the plurality of scan lines, in the second half of the period of time, applying a second voltage to the first pixel area of the plurality of pixel areas through the first data line; in the first half of the period of time, turning on a second scan line of the plurality of scan lines; in the first half of the period of time, applying the third voltage to a second pixel area of the plurality of pixel areas through a second data line; in the second half of the period of time, turning on a second scan line of the plurality of scan lines; and in the second half of the period of time, applying the fourth voltage to the second pixel area of the plurality of pixel areas through the second data line; wherein the first pixel areas and the second pixel areas are respectively coupled to a first common voltage and a second common voltage, and the sum of the difference between the third voltage and the second common voltage and the difference between the fourth voltage and the second common voltage is different from the sum of the difference between the first voltage and the first common voltage and the difference between the second voltage and the first common voltage.
