Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for driving a liquid crystal display device preventing a deterioration of picture quality. More specifically, in the method and apparatus, a difference between modulated data and normal input data is calculated, and the normal input data are modulated by using the difference data calculated.

Claims (61)

1. A method of driving a liquid crystal display, comprising steps of:

setting a modulation data in the liquid crystal display;

receiving an input data;

delaying the input data;

modulating the input data using the modulation data in accordance with the input data and the delayed input data;

adding the modulated data to the input data;

subtracting the modulated data from the input data;

comparing the delayed input data with the input data; and

selecting one of the added data and the subtracted data depending on the compared result.

2. A method of driving a liquid crystal display, comprising steps of:

receiving an input data;

dividing the input data into most significant bits and least significant bits;

delaying the most significant bits for a frame period;
