Liquid crystal display and method for driving the same

摘要

A liquid crystal display includes a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines crossing over the gate lines while being electrically insulated from the gate lines. Pixels are placed at the cross regions of the gate and the data lines arranged in a matrix form. Each pixel has a switching circuit connected to the gate and the data lines. Data voltages are fed to the pixels such that the polarity of the pixels is inverted per a pixel group of two or more pixel rows. Gate voltages are applied to the neighboring first and second pixel groups such that the gate voltage applied to the pixel row of the first pixel group close to the second pixel group differs from the gate voltage applied to the pixel row of the first pixel group distant to the second pixel group.
