Patent ID: 8643578

Claim:
A method of driving a display panel comprising a first switching element connected to a first data line and a gate line, a second switching element connected to the gate line and to a second data line adjacent to the first data line, and a liquid crystal capacitor connected to an output terminal of each of the first switching element and the second switching element, the method comprising: applying a first data signal to which a first gamma curve has been applied to the first data line and a first inverted data signal having a phase opposite to a phase of the first data signal to the second data line during a first frame interval; and applying a second data signal to which a second gamma curve has been applied to the first data line and a second inverted data signal having a phase opposite to a phase of the second data signal to the second data line during a second frame interval temporally subsequent to the first frame interval, wherein the first frame interval is a first half of one frame and the second frame interval is a second half of the one frame; wherein the first data line and the second data line are connected to the same pixel.
