Patent ID: 8085229

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a pixel having first and second electrodes; and an optically compensated bend (OCB) liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second electrodes and configured to have a bending alignment, a data driver configured to receive external image information and adapted to alternately apply to the first electrode: a normal data voltage representing a first luminance corresponding to the external image information and an impulsive data voltage representing a second luminance based on the external image information and lower than the first luminance, wherein the impulsive data voltage applied to the first electrode varies between the impulsive data voltage at the highest gray and a predetermined gray voltage, wherein the impulsive data voltage at the highest gray has a value ranging from 2.0V to 3.5V, and wherein the normal data voltage at the highest gray has a value ranging from 0.2V to 0.9V.
