Patent ID: 8289311

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a data aligning part that analyzes a gray level of input data, inserts black data into the input data when the input data is less than a designated reference gray level value and aligns the input data and the black data; and a driver that displays an aligned data from the data aligning part in a display panel, wherein the driver includes a data driver that converts the aligned data from the data aligning part into an analog data voltage and supplies the analog data voltage to data lines of the display panel and a scan driver that sequentially supplies a scan pulse to scan lines that cross the data lines, wherein the driver further includes a timing controller that supplies the input data to the data aligning part, supplies the aligned data from the data aligning part to the data driver, and controls the data driver and the scan driver, the timing controller includes a signal controller to generate a second vertical/horizontal synchronization signal, a second clock signal and a second data enable signal using a first vertical/horizontal synchronization signal, a first clock signal and a first data enable signal, wherein the second vertical/horizontal synchronization signal, the second clock signal and the second data enable signal are signals for driving the data driver and the scan driver with the speed of 120 Hz, wherein the signal controller acts to delay the second vertical/horizontal synchronization signal, the second clock signal and the second data enable signal for a fixed period so that the signals are synchronized with the aligned data from the data aligning part, wherein when the input data is at least the designated reference gray level, the data aligning part inserts no black data for the input data and supplies the input data to the data driver for one frame, wherein the designated reference gray level value is any gray level value between the highest brightness obtained by inserting black data and a brightness higher than that, wherein the scan pulse comprises a first scan pulse synchronized with the input data supplied to the display panel and a second scan pulse synchronized with the black data supplied to the display panel.
