Patent ID: 8552950

Claim:
A method of driving a display device including scanning lines and signal lines comprising: during a first frame, applying first image signals to a first group of pixels with a positive polarity and a second group of pixels with a negative polarity; and during a second frame, applying second image signals to a third group of pixels with a negative polarity and a fourth group of pixels with a positive polarity, wherein the first group of the pixels is adjacent to the second group of the pixels with a first boundary therebetween, wherein the third group of the pixels is adjacent to the fourth group of the pixels with a second boundary therebetween, wherein a polarity of a signal potential applied to each of the pixels is inverted every n(n≧2, n is natural number) frames, wherein the first group of the pixels and the third group of the pixels share a first pixel, wherein the second group of the pixels and the fourth group of the pixels share a second pixel, wherein a part of the first boundary is provided between a third pixel and a fourth pixel, wherein a part of the second boundary is provided between a fifth pixel and a sixth pixel, wherein the third to sixth pixels are driven by a same scan line, and wherein the second boundary is at least one pixel apart from the first boundary.
