Liquid crystal display device and a method for driving the same
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a liquid crystal display panel including a liquid crystal interposed between two substrates, and a plurality of gate lines; and
a backlight assembly having i) a signal synchronism part for detecting a gate line to which a gate driving signal is applied and generating an inverter control signal, ii) an inverter for receiving the inverter control signal to generate a lamp driving signal, and iii) at least two lamps parallel disposed under the liquid crystal display panel to be turned on or off in response to the lamp driving signal,wherein the inverter control signal generated from the signal synchronism part is a signal for turning off a portion of the lamps to stop supplying light to the liquid crystal corresponding to the gate line to which the gate driving signal is applied during a predetermined period of arranging the liquid crystal, after the gate driving signal is applied to the corresponding gate line,wherein the backlight assembly supplies the liquid crystal display panel with light continuously during one frame.

Abstract
Disclosed are a liquid crystal display device and a method for driving the same. After all the gate lines included in each effective display region divided into several regions, are turned on, a light is supplied to a liquid crystal after all the liquid crystals are completely arranged, but the light is not applied to a portion of the effective display regions until all the liquid crystals are completely arranged. The process is repeatedly performed concerning each effective display region. Thus, the poor quality of display image such as image spreading phenomenon of the moving image can be prevented. Also, the light supply time can greatly increase, thereby accomplishing an image display with a high brightness.

7. A method for driving a liquid crystal display device comprising the steps of:
-
i) applying an electric field to a liquid crystal included in a first region of a liquid crystal display panel to arrange the liquid crystal, the liquid crystal display panel being divided into a plurality of regions, each region comprising a plurality of gate lines, wherein a gate-on voltage is applied to the gate lines sequentially from a first gate line to a last gate line in each region; ii) stopping supplying a light to the liquid crystal included in the first region during a predetermined period of arranging the liquid crystal included in the first region, upon application of the gate-on voltage to the last gate line in the first region; iii) supplying the light to the liquid crystal included in the first region after the predetermined period of arranging the liquid crystal included in the first region; and iv) repeating the steps ii) and iii) concerning liquid crystals included in other regions of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the light is continuously supplied to the liquid crystal display panel during one frame.
