Patent ID: 7986296

Claim:
A thin-film-transistor liquid crystal display, comprising: a display unit containing a plurality of scanning lines, and a plurality of data lines which are arranged in a plane to cross the plurality of scanning lines and defining a plurality of pixels that form a pixel area, all of the pixels of each scanning line being divided into groups of N successive pixels, where N is an integer greater than 1 such that each said pixel is part of one of said groups; and a data driving circuit providing pixel data signals to the plurality of data lines, a polarity of the respective pixel data signals for the data lines within each group being the same as each other, the polarity of the respective pixel data signals for each successive group along at least one of the scanning lines alternating between a first polarity and a second polarity, wherein one of the data lines between two successive groups in the pixel area is wider than each of the data lines within each group in the pixel area.
