Patent ID: 8686936

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a first group of pixels for displaying an image; a second group of pixels for displaying an image, each pixel of the first and second groups being disposed on a portion where one of data lines and one of gate lines cross each other, each pixel of the first and second groups including a storage capacitor for storing a data voltage; a gate driving unit for outputting scan pulses to the pixels of the first and second groups through the gate lines; a data driving unit for generating the data voltage corresponding to an input image data signal and outputting the data voltage to each pixel of the first and second groups through the data lines; a first storage common voltage line connected to the storage capacitors of the pixels of the first group of pixels; a second storage common voltage line connected to the storage capacitors of the pixels of the second group of pixels; and a storage common voltage driving unit for generating a first storage common voltage and outputting the first storage common voltage to the pixels of the first group through the first storage common voltage line, the storage common voltage driving unit generating a second storage common voltage and outputting the second storage common voltage to the pixels of the second group through the second storage common voltage line, wherein in a first programming section during which data voltage is stored in the storage capacitors of the pixels of the first and second groups, the first storage common voltage has a storage common high voltage level and the second storage common voltage has a storage common low voltage level, and in a first light emitting section during which the voltage stored in the storage capacitors of the pixels of the first and second groups is transited to pixel electrodes of the pixels of the first and second groups, the first storage common voltage has the storage common low voltage level and the second storage common voltage has the storage common high level.
