Abstract

A liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel, a gate driver configured to supply gate signals to gate lines on the liquid crystal panel, a data driver configured to supply data voltages to data lines on the liquid crystal panel, and a partial controller configured to control the gate driver to intercept a part of the gate signals to be supplied to the gate lines.

Claims (30)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal panel;

a gate driver configured to supply gate signals to gate lines on the liquid crystal panel;

a data driver configured to supply data voltages to data lines on the liquid crystal panel;

a partial controller configured to control the gate driver to intercept a part of the gate signals to be supplied to the gate lines, wherein the partial controller generates a vertical window control signal which controls an output time period of the gate driver, to the gate driver; and

a delay section configured to delay the vertical window control signal supplied to the gate driver from the partial controller by a predetermined time period,

wherein the vertical window control signal has a vertical window pulse of a low logic for designating an output limit period of the gate signal during a time period of a vertical synchronous signal.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the gate driver includes:

a plurality of shift register stages dependently connected to each other and configured to generate the gate signals; and

a plurality of output switch sections configured to selectively intercept the gate signals to be supplied to corresponding gate lines from the plurality of shift register stages in response to a control of the partial controller.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the partial controller supplies the vertical window pulse to the plurality of output switch sections in common.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of output switch sections intercept the gate signals during the time period of the vertical window pulse.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the partial controller further controls the data driver to display a part of pixels on the liquid crystal panel corresponding to a remainder of the gate signals with a black color.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the partial controller further controls the data driver to initialize pixels on the liquid crystal panel corresponding to the part of the gate signals with a black color.

7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 6 , wherein the partial controller further controls the data driver to display a part of pixels on the liquid crystal panel corresponding to a remainder of the gate signals with a black color.

8. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal panel;

a gate driver configured to supply gate signals to gate lines on the liquid crystal panel;

a data driver configured to supply data voltages to data lines on the liquid crystal panel;

a timing controller configured to control driving timings of the gate driver and the data driver, and to supply a pixel data stream to the data driver;

a partial controller configured to control the gate driver to intercept a part of the gate signals to be supplied to the gate lines, wherein the partial controller generates a vertical window control signal which controls an output time period of the gate driver, to the gate driver; and

a delay section configured to delay the vertical window control signal supplied to the gate driver from the partial controller by a predetermined time period,

wherein the vertical window control signal has a vertical window pulse of a low logic for designating an output limit period of the gate signal during a time period of a vertical synchronous signal.

9. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 8 , wherein the gate driver includes:

a plurality of shift register stages configured to dependently generate the gate signals in response to a gate start pulse from the timing controller; and

a plurality of output switch sections configured to selectively intercept the gate signals to be supplied to corresponding gate lines from the plurality of shift register stages in response to a control of the partial controller.

10. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 9 , wherein the partial controller supplies the vertical window pulse to the plurality of output switch sections in common.

11. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 10 , wherein the plurality of output switch sections intercept the gate signals during the time period of the vertical window pulse.

12. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 8 , wherein the partial controller further controls the timing controller to display a part of pixels on the liquid crystal panel corresponding to a remainder of the gate signals with a black color.

13. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 8 , wherein the partial controller further controls the timing controller to initialize pixels on the liquid crystal panel corresponding to the part of the gate signals with a black color.
