Liquid crystal display and method of driving the same
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a liquid crystal panel including a lower substrate and an upper substrate, the lower substrate having a display region with liquid crystal cells formed at intersections of a plurality of horizontally extending gate lines and a plurality of vertically extending data lines, the upper substrate having color filter regions formed at areas corresponding to the liquid crystal cells; and
a data driver for applying data signals to the plurality of data lines such that polarities of the data signals are inverted at intervals of at least three liquid crystal cells in a vertical direction and at intervals of one liquid crystal cell in a horizontal direction, wherein the color filter regions adjacent to each other in the vertical direction are formed with color filters having different colors.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display with reduced power consumption and a method of driving the same, in which a liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel including a lower substrate and an upper substrate. The lower substrate has a display region with liquid crystal cells formed at intersections of a plurality of horizontally extending gate lines and a plurality of vertically extending data lines. The upper substrate has color filter regions formed at areas corresponding to the liquid crystal cells. The liquid crystal display includes a data driver for applying data signals to the plurality of data lines, such that the polarities of the data signals are inverted at intervals of at least three liquid crystal cells in a vertical direction and at intervals of one liquid crystal cell in a horizontal direction. The color filter regions adjacent to each other in the vertical direction are formed with color filters having different colors. Also provided is a method of driving the liquid crystal display. Thus, since the polarity patterns of the data signals are inverted at intervals of at least three liquid crystal cells so as to control the number of swings of the data signals, it is possible to reduce power consumption of the liquid crystal display.
