Abstract
An LCD device and driving method thereof are disclosed. The LCD device includes a source driver, a controller, a voltage generator, a plurality of data lines, a plurality of pixels, and a plurality of demultiplexer modules. The controller provides two sets of control signals. The voltage generator provides an AC common voltage. Each demultiplexer module includes two demultiplexers. The first demultiplexer distributes data signals received from the source driver into a set of data lines based on the first set of control signals. The second demultiplexer distributes data signals received from the source driver into another set of data lines based on the second set of control signals. The driving method is utilized for writing a plurality of low-voltage data signals having different polarities into a plurality of pixels based on different common voltages during different intervals of a frame period.
