Patent ID: 7573450

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal panel assembly including a plurality of pixels; a gray signal modifier classifying a plurality of pairs of current gray signals and previous gray signals into at least two groups based on characteristics of a difference between the current gray signals and the previous gray signals and modifying the current gray signals based on a corresponding group of the at least two groups to generate a plurality of modified gray signals; and a data driver converting the modified gray signals into corresponding image signals and providing the corresponding image signals to the pixels; wherein the at least two groups include a first group and a second group; wherein the difference between the current gray signal and the previous gray signal of each pair belonging to the first group is equal to or less than a predetermined value, and the difference between the current gray signal and the previous gray signal of each pair belonging to the second group is larger than the predetermined value; wherein the current gray signals and the previous gray signals have most significant bits (“MSBs”) and least significant bits (“LSBs”); wherein the second group includes a third group and a fourth group; wherein the MSBs of the current gray signal of each pair of the third group are the same as the MSBs of the previous gray signal of the pair of the third group and the LSBs of the current gray signal of each pair of the third group are larger than the LSBs of the previous gray signal of the pair of the third group, and the MSBs of the current gray signal of each pair of the fourth group are the same as the MSBs of the previous gray signal of the pair of the fourth group and the LSBs of the current gray signal of each pair of the fourth group are less than the LSBs of the previous gray signal of the pair of the fourth group; and wherein the gray signal modifier differently modifies the current gray signals corresponding to the first group, the third group and the fourth group respectively.
