Abstract

The LCD device includes a pixel circuit and a driving circuit. The pixel circuit comprises thin film transistors serving for driving pixels of the LCD The driving circuit is coupled to the pixel circuit, generating a driving signal for driving the transistors. The gate terminal driving signal of the pixel transistors has a high state and a low state, and the threshold voltage of the transistor is set at a level at zero volt, or depending on whether the transistor is n-type or p-type, between zero volt and the low or high states of the gate terminal driving signal, respectively.
