Patent ID: 8199102

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a liquid crystal display panel having a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines formed on a substrate and crossing each other, the data lines being subdivided into respective blocks of data lines with each data lines block having a respective plural number of the data lines; a plurality of pixels respectively connected to the plurality of gate lines and to the plurality of data lines, the pixels being arranged as a matrix having rows and columns where each row of pixels has a respective gate line operatively coupled to it and where a plural number of adjacent ones of the columns of pixels operatively couples to respective ones of a same plural number of the data lines forming a respective one of said blocks of data lines; a data driving unit configured for outputting data signals through a plurality of channel terminals; a line selection unit coupled to channel terminals of the data driving unit and configured for selectively applying respective ones of the data signals received from the channel terminals to respective ones of sequentially arranged data lines within the data lines blocks, and a signal control unit configured to sequentially output a plurality of selection control signals for controlling the selective data signal applying operations of the line selection unit; wherein the sequentially output selection control signals cause a sequential selection of data lines in opposing sequencing directions for adjacent pairings of the data lines blocks; wherein a first of the data lines blocks has its respective data lines connected to one side of the corresponding pixels of that first data lines block and an adjacent second of the data lines blocks has its respective data lines connected to an opposed other side of the corresponding pixels of that second data lines block.
