Patent ID: 8009132

Claim:
A display device comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, each of the pixels including a first subpixel and a second subpixel; a first gate line connected to the first subpixel and transmitting a first gate-on voltage; a second gate line connected to the second subpixel and transmitting a second gate-on voltage; and a plurality of data lines, wherein the first and second subpixels of the pixel are connected to a same data line which transmits first and second data voltages to the first and second subpixels of the pixel, respectively, wherein the first and second data voltages are obtained from the same image information, the first data voltage is no lower than the second data voltage, and the first data voltage is precharged in a data line before applying the second data voltage to the first subpixel through the data line, and neither the first gate-on voltage nor the second gate-on voltage is transmitted to the first gate line and the second gate line when the data line is precharged with the first data voltage.
