Patent ID: 7855707

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal panel; a horizontal sync signal having a horizontal period; a gate driver that supplies a plurality of gate signals sequentially to a plurality of gate lines, wherein a first gate line provides a gate signal with a gate pulse width equal to the horizontal period +α and a second gate line provides a gate signal with a gate pulse width equal to the horizontal period +α so that gates signals on the first and second gate lines overlap by 2α and wherein the first and second gate lines are adjacent to one another; and a data driver that supplies pixel data signals to a plurality of data lines on the liquid crystal panel during every period of the horizontal sync signals, wherein the period ‘α’ is set shorter than the period of one horizontal sync signal, wherein the first gate line is one of a plurality of odd-numbered gate lines and the second gate line is one of a plurality of even-numbered gate lines, wherein the gate signals supplied to odd-numbered gate lines and one of the adjacent even-numbered gate lines among the plurality of gate lines are enabled at the same time during the period of ‘2α’.
