Apparatus and method for driving liquid crystal display device
First Claim
1. A display device comprising:
- a display panel having a plurality of pixels, each pixel including R, G, B and W sub-pixels;
a color information detecting unit receiving R, G and B sub-pixel video data for each pixel and outputting first and second signals, wherein the first signal is different from the second signal, and the color information detecting unit outputs the first signal when one or two of the R, G and B sub-pixel video data are null;
a color component determining unit counting the number of the first signal, comparing the number of the first signal with at least one reference value, and outputting a control singal; and
a light source control unit controlling an amount of light according to the control signal.
