Abstract

A driving method for an active matrix liquid crystal display panel includes the following steps. First, a frame period is divided into a display period (t 1 ) and a black insertion period (t r ). A gray-scale voltage is generated according to a desired corresponding light transmittance of each pixel of the liquid crystal display panel; and during the display period, the gray-scale voltage is supplied to a corresponding pixel electrode of the liquid crystal display panel. Then during the black insertion period, a restoring voltage V h is supplied to the pixel electrode, so that the pixel is returned to an initial black state. Accordingly, the quality of motion pictures of the liquid crystal display panel is good.

Claims (14)

1. A driving method for an active matrix liquid crystal display panel, in which data signals are supplied to a plurality of pixel electrodes of the liquid crystal display panel in order to display images via pixels associated with the pixel electrodes, the method including the steps of:

dividing a frame period into a display period and a black insertion period;

generating a gray-scale voltage corresponding to a desired light transmittance of each pixel;

supplying the gray-scale voltage to the pixel electrode during the display period; and

supplying a restore voltage to the pixel electrode during the black insertion period so that the corresponding pixel is returned to an initial black state.

2. The driving method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the display period to the black insertion period is equal to one.

3. The driving method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the display period to the black insertion period is more than one.

4. The driving method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the display period to the black insertion period is less than one.

5. The driving method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame period is approximately 16.7 ms.

6. The driving method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a resolution of the gray-scale voltage is 8 levels, 16 levels, 32 levels, or 64 levels.

7. A driving method for an active matrix liquid crystal display panel, in which data signals are supplied to a plurality of pixel electrodes of the liquid crystal display panel in order to display images via pixels associated with the pixel electrodes, the method including the steps of:

configuring a frame period into at least a display period and a black insertion period;

supplying a gray-scale voltage to the pixel electrode during the display period; and

supplying a restore voltage to the pixel electrode during the black insertion period so that the corresponding pixel is returned to an initial black state.
