Patent ID: 7102608

Claim:
A method of driving a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor, the LCD monitor comprising: an LCD panel for displaying a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix format; and a power supply comprising a plurality of power transmission lines for carrying a plurality of voltages, the power transmission lines of the power supply being electrically coupled to a plurality of driving units, each driving unit comprising an output buffer and a switch, a first end of the switch being selectively connected to either an output terminal of the output buffer or an input terminal of the output buffer, a second end of the switch being connected to an output terminal of the driving unit; said method comprising: disconnecting the first end of the switch from the input terminal of the output buffer and connecting the first cad of the switch to the output terminal of the output buffer for driving an output voltage of the driving unit toward a voltage transmitted via the power transmission line of the power supply; and disconnecting the first end of the switch from the output terminal of the output buffer and connecting the first end of the switch to the input terminal of the output buffer for driving the output voltage of the driving unit toward an average voltage generated from averaging voltages at output terminals of the driving units that are connected to the game power transmission line.
