DISPLAY APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A display apparatus having a plurality of pixels to display an image,each of the pixels comprising:
- a common electrode receiving a common voltage having a squarewave form;
a first switching device outputting a first data voltage having a voltage level different from a voltage level of the common voltage in response to a first gate signal during an earlier H/2 period among a horizontal scanning period (1H) during which pixels connected to one row are turned on;
a second switching device outputting a second data voltage having a polarity different from a polarity of the first data voltage with reference to the common voltage in response to a second gate signal during a later H/2 period of the 1H period;
a first pixel electrode connected to an output electrode of the first switching device to receive the first data voltage;
a second pixel electrode electrically insulated from the first pixel electrode and connected to an output electrode of the second switching device to receive the second data voltage; and
a liquid crystal layer interposed between the common electrode and the first and second pixel electrodes.

Abstract
In a display apparatus, a common electrode receives a common voltage of which a voltage level is inverted at every H/2 period of 1H period during which pixels connected to one row are turned on. A first switching device outputs a first data voltage having a voltage level different from the common voltage during an earlier H/2 period, and a second switching device outputs a second data voltage having a polarity different from the first data voltage during a later H/2 period. First and second pixel electrodes receive the first and second data voltages from the first and second switching devices, respectively. Thus, a liquid crystal voltage applied to a liquid crystal layer increases, thereby improving a response speed of a liquid crystal and reducing a power consumption of the display apparatus.
