Patent ID: 7268766

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal panel assembly including a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixels connected to the gate lines and the data lines; a gate driving circuit for driving the gate lines; a data driving circuit for driving the data lines; a plurality of lamp units including a plurality of lamps illuminating the panel assembly; a system board for generating image signals, first control signals for controlling the image signals, and a voltage signal for driving the lamps; a control board for processing the image signals from the system board based on the first control signals from the system board, generating second control signals for controlling the processed image signals and a third control signal for driving the lamps, and providing the processed image signals and the second control signals for the driving circuits; and a plurality of inverter boards, including at least a first and a second inverter board, connected in series for generating driving signals for driving the lamps based on the third control signal from the control board and the voltage signal from the system board, wherein the first inverter board receives the third control signal from the control board before the second inverter board receives the third control signal and the second inverter board receives the voltage signal from the system board before the first inverter board receives the voltage signal.
