Patent ID: 8519932

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal display panel on which a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines cross each other; a POL conversion control signal generating unit for generating a POL conversion control signal that is inverted at predetermined time intervals in a black data insertion mode and is fixed at a specific logic level in a normal drive mode, wherein the black data insertion mode is a mode that inserts black data between video data, and the normal drive mode is a mode that does not insert the black data between the video data; a timing controller for outputting a first polarity control signal (POL 1 ) that is inverted every a predetermined period; a POL conversion circuit for receiving the POL conversion control signal and the first polarity control signal (POL 1 ) and outputting a second polarity control signal; a data driving circuit for supplying a data voltage to the plurality of data lines by converting the video data into the data voltage and inverting a polarity of the data voltage in response to the second polarity control signal (POL 2 ); and a gate driving circuit for sequentially supplying a gate pulse to the plurality of gate lines, wherein the first polarity control signal is inverted every one frame period, and the second polarity control signal is inverted every two frame periods in the black data insertion mode and is inverted every one frame period in the normal drive mode.
