Patent ID: 8232942

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a plurality of scanning lines organized in sets of at least two; a plurality of data lines overlapping said plurality of scanning lines at a plurality of intersection regions; a plurality of pixels located at said plurality of intersection regions; a scanning line driver configured to drive said plurality of pixels by sequentially scanning said sets of scanning lines; a data line driver configured to apply a pixel voltage corresponding to an image data to each of said plurality of pixels through corresponding one of said plurality of data lines; and a common electrode configured to apply a reference voltage to said plurality of pixels, wherein said sets of scanning lines each include a first scanning line and a second scanning line located adjacent to each other, said plurality of pixels include a first pixel associated with said first scanning line and a second pixel associated with said second scanning line, said scanning line driver drives said second pixel after said first pixel in a first period, and drives said first pixel after said second pixel in a second period, and said data line driver inverts a polarity of said pixel voltage with regard to said reference voltage every N horizontal scanning periods (N is an integer equal to or larger than 2).
