Abstract

The present invention discloses a liquid crystal display device, including: a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of gate lines arranged in a transverse direction, a plurality of data lines arranged in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the gate lines, and a plurality of pixels defined by the gate and data lines, the data lines having odd data lines and even data lines; a plurality of gate drive ICs for driving the gate lines and being located on the left hand side of the liquid crystal panel; a plurality of first and second data drive ICs for outputting data signals to the certain pixel through the odd and even data lines, respectively, and being respectively located on the top and bottom portions of the liquid crystal panel, the first data drive ICs driving the odd data lines, the second data ICs driving the even data lines; and a plurality of delay compensating circuits for determining a position of the certain pixel and for delaying the data signal outputted from the first or the second data drive ICs depending on the position of the pixel, whereby all of the data signals from the first and second data drive ICs are outputted to the certain pixel with an equal delay.

Claims (24)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of gate lines arranged in a transverse direction, a plurality of data lines arranged in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the gate lines, and a plurality of pixels defined by the gate and data lines, the data lines having odd data lines and even data lines;

a plurality of gate drive ICs for driving the gate lines and being located on the left hand side of the liquid crystal panel;

a plurality of first and second data drive ICs for outputting data signals to a certain pixel through the odd and even data lines, respectively, and being respectively located on the top and bottom portions of the liquid crystal panel, the first data drive ICs driving the odd data lines, the second data ICs driving the even data lines; and

a plurality of delay compensating circuits for determining a position of the certain pixel and for delaying the data signal outputted from the first or the second data drive ICs depending on the position of the pixel, whereby all of the data signals from the first and second data drive ICs are outputted to arrive at the certain pixel so as to lessen brightness difference between odd and even data lines.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the delay compensating circuit includes:

an input terminal for receiving the data signals outputted from the first or the second data drive ICs;

a detecting portion for determining a position of the certain pixel;

a driving portion for compensating a delay value of the data signal depending on a position of the certain pixel; and

an output terminal for outputting a compensated data signal to the certain pixel.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the delay compensating circuit is mounted in the first and second data drive ICs.

4. The liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal panel including a plurality of gate lines arranged in a transverse direction, a plurality of data lines arranged in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the gate lines, and a plurality of pixels defined by the gate and data lines;

a plurality of gate drive ICs for driving the gate lines and being located on the left hand side of the liquid crystal panel;

a plurality of first and second data drive ICs for outputting data signals to a certain pixel through the data lines, and being respectively located on the top and bottom portions of the liquid crystal panel; and

a delay compensating circuit for determining a position of the certain pixel and for compensating for a delay of the data signals output from the first or the second data drive ICs based on a the position of the certain pixel, whereby all of the data signals arrive at the certain pixel so as to lessen brightness difference between odd and even data lines regardless of the position of the certain pixel.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the delay compensating circuit includes:

an input terminal for receiving the data signals outputted from the first or the second data drive ICs;

a detecting portion for determining a position of the certain pixel;

a driving portion for compensating a delay value of the data signal depending on a position of the certain pixel; and

an output terminal for outputting a compensated data signal to the certain pixel.

6. The device of claim 4 , wherein the delay compensating circuit is mounted in the first and second data drive ICs.

7. The device of claim 2 , wherein the output terminal includes a plurality of signal delay terminals, and one of the plurality of signal delay terminals is selected according to the position of the certain pixel.

8. The device of claim 5 , wherein the output terminal includes a plurality of signal delay terminals, and one of the plurality of signal delay terminals is selected according to the position of the certain pixel.
