1. A high-speed driving method of a liquid crystal for a liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal and two electrodes sandwiching the liquid crystal to display images, the method comprising:
- applying a voltage based on gradation data between the two electrodes for a portion of a predetermined interval; and
applying a plurality of predetermined voltages different in absolute value and independent from the gradation data across the two electrodes, a first one of the predetermined voltages being applied for a different predetermined portion of the predetermined interval, the predetermined interval comprising an interval including a single backlight signal.

Abstract
In order to drive a liquid crystal at a speed equivalent to or higher than CRT displays, in a liquid crystal display device made of a liquid crystal and two electrodes sandwiching the liquid crystal to display images by applying a voltage based on gradation data between the two electrodes, a predetermined voltage independent from the gradation data is applied across the two electrodes for a predetermined length of time in predetermined intervals.

27. A high-speed method of driving a liquid crystal display panel having liquid crystals sandwiched by pairs of electrodes to display images, comprising the steps of:
-
applying in sequence differently colored backlight signals to the electrodes during predetermined time intervals, the colored backlight signals corresponding to the predetermined time intervals such that a single one of the colored backlight signals is applied during each of the time intervals, the colored backlight signals each being provided for a first predetermined length of time which is less than the corresponding time interval;
applying a display voltage across the pairs of electrodes based on gradation data for a second predetermined length of time during each of the time intervals, the display voltage varying for each of the time intervals based on the gradation data; and
applying an independent voltage across the pairs of electrodes independent from the display voltage for a third predetermined length of time during each of the time intervals, the independent voltage applied having the same voltage value for each of the predetermined intervals. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
