Patent ID: 7079164

Claim:
A method of driving a liquid crystal display panel, the liquid crystal display panel including a plurality of data and gate lines that cross each perpendicularly, a pixel from at each intersection between the gate and data lines, each pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels for displaying color data, wherein the pixels are arranged in a matrix formation, the method comprising: receiving first, second and third color data along with a dot clock signal, inputting into a first multiplexer the second and third color data and selectively outputting the second and third color data in response to a control signal; inputting into a second multiplexer the third and second color data and selectively outputting the third and second color data in response to the control signal; inputting into a third multiplexer the first color data and selectively outputting first color data in response to the control signal; shorting first color sub-pixels spaced a predetermined distance apart from each other within a line of pixels, the first color sub-pixels being arranged at the middle portion of a pixel, to apply the first color data to said adjacent first color sub-pixels; applying the second color data to a plurality of second color sub-pixels, the second color sub-pixels being arranged at one edge of said middle portion of the pixels; and applying the third color data to a plurality of third color sub-pixels, the third sub-pixels being arranged at another edge of said middle portion of the pixels.
