Patent ID: 7817123

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a plurality of gate lines; a plurality of data lines intersecting the gate lines; a plurality of switching elements connected to the gate lines and the data lines; a plurality of storage electrodes; a plurality of storage electrode lines connected to the storage electrodes; a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the switching elements and overlapping the storage electrodes; a gate driver generating gate signals having a gate-on voltage and a gate-off voltage to apply to the gate lines; a data driver generating data voltages corresponding to externally applied image signals to apply to the data lines; and a storage electrode driver generating storage electrode signals having a reference voltage, a high voltage larger than the reference voltage, and a low voltage smaller than the reference voltage to apply to the storage electrode lines, wherein each storage electrode signal changes a level thereof when the gate-on voltage is applied to the gate lines and changes a level thereof when a predetermined time elapses after the gate-off voltage is applied to the gate lines, and wherein the storage electrodes of one pixel row are alternatingly connected to two adjacent storage electrode lines, the two adjacent storage electrode lines extending substantially parallel to the one pixel row.
