Abstract

A driving method of an LCD panel having a plurality of display groups comprising a plurality of display cells and respectively coupled to a data electrode and a gate electrode. The display cells of the display group are coupled to the data electrode and the gate electrode connected to the display group. The video signals are provided to the data electrodes to make the number of the display groups having the number of the display cells with positive polarity greater than the number of the display cells with negative polarity equal to the number of the display groups having the number of the display cells with negative polarity greater than the number of the display cells with positive polarity. The display groups are coupled to the same gate electrode. Then, the scan signals are provided to the gate electrodes.

Claims (15)

1. A driving method of an LCD panel having a plurality of display groups comprising a plurality of display cells and respectively coupled to a data electrode and a gate electrode, the display cells of the display group coupled to the data electrode and the gate electrode connected to the display group, comprising the following steps:

providing video signals to the data electrodes to make the number of the display groups having the number of the display cells with positive polarity greater than the number of the display cells with negative polarity equal to the number of the display groups having the number of the display cells with negative polarity greater than the number of the display cells with positive polarity, wherein the display groups are coupled to the same gate electrode; and

providing scan signals to the gate electrodes.

2. The driving method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polarity of any display cell is opposite that of the display cells directly adjacent thereto.

3. The driving method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the total polarity of the display group is opposite that of the directly connected display groups.

4. The driving method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the total polarity of the display group is positive when the number of the display cells with positive polarity is greater than the display cells with negative polarity.

5. The driving method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the total polarity of the display group is negative when the number of the display cells with positive polarity is smaller than the display cells with negative polarity.

6. A driving circuit of an LCD panel having a plurality of display groups comprising a plurality of display cells and respectively coupled to a data electrode and a gate electrode, the display cells of the display group coupled to the data electrode and the gate electrode connected to the display group, comprising:

a gate driver for providing scan signals to the gate electrodes;

a buffer for recording video signals making the number of the display groups having the number of the display cells with positive polarity greater than the number of the display cells with negative polarity equal to the number of the display groups having the number of the display cells with negative polarity greater than the number of the display cells with positive polarity, wherein the display groups are coupled to the same gate electrode; and

a data driver for providing the video signals to the data electrodes.

7. The driving circuit as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the polarity of any display cell is opposite that of the display cells directly adjacent thereto.

8. The driving circuit as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the total polarity of the display group is opposite that of the directly connected display groups.

9. The driving circuit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the total polarity of the display group is positive when the number of the display cells with positive polarity is greater than the display cells with negative polarity.

10. The driving circuit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the total polarity of the display group is opposite that of the directly connected display groups.
