2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have been most widely used because of their excellent image quality, light weight, thinness, and low power.
1 is a pixel equivalent circuit diagram of a general liquid crystal display device.
1, a typical liquid crystal display device defines pixels at the intersections of a gate line GL and a data line DL, and each pixel includes a thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as TFT) A capacitor Clc and a storage capacitor Cst. The liquid crystal capacitor Clc includes a pixel electrode connected to the TFT and a common electrode for applying an electric field to the liquid crystal together with the pixel electrode. The common electrode (Vcom) is supplied to the common electrode.
In such a liquid crystal display device, a liquid crystal is driven by a pixel voltage charged in a liquid crystal capacitor Clc and a storage capacitor Cst according to a data signal to display an image. However, when the pixel voltage always has the same polarity, that is, a positive (+) value or negative (-) value, the liquid crystal deteriorates. Accordingly, a data inversion method, which is a data for changing the polarity of a data signal for each frame, has been introduced. In order to lower the driving voltage of the data signal at the time of data inversion, a common voltage alternating driving method in which the polarity of the common voltage Vcom is changed every frame has been introduced.
However, if the polarity of the common voltage Vcom is changed every frame by the common voltage AC driving, the pixel voltage is shifted in the same manner, and the pixel voltage can not maintain the original voltage value during the period in which the pixel voltage is shifted. Then, the voltage between the pixel voltage and the common voltage, that is, the voltage applied to the liquid crystal, is lowered. As shown in FIG. 2, a luminance difference occurs at the upper and lower ends of the
