Abstract
In a liquid crystal driving apparatus for driving a liquid crystal display panel in accordance with an image signal, the response speed of a liquid crystal display panel is increased so as not to produce an afterimage upon motion image display. A signal is preprocessed by an inverse transfer function of the transfer function of the liquid crystal panel, i.e., signal processing for emphasizing an image change in a timer direction is performed, and the liquid crystal display panel is driven by using the processed data.
