Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel, including multiple pixels, and a driving circuit. The pixels are driven according to a first driving pattern. The driving circuit monitors the liquid crystal panel for a cross-talk condition. The driving circuit generates a signal and changes the driving pattern to an alternate driving pattern when a cross-talk condition is detected in the liquid crystal panel.

Claims (20)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal panel comprises a plurality of pixels, a plurality of common lines along a first direction, a plurality of gate lines, where the plurality of common lines are supplied with a common voltage,

wherein the plurality of pixels are driven according to a first pattern or a second pattern;

a gate driver connected to the liquid crystal panel through a tape carrier package to supply gate voltages to the plurality of gate lines;

at least one common voltage supply line in at least one of the gate driver and the tape carrier package and connected to the plurality of common lines;

a first region, and a plurality of second regions and third regions, each of the plurality of second and third regions comprising vertical multiple color lines, and wherein the first region is configured to have a voltage level with an amplitude that is between a voltage level amplitude of the second region and a voltage level amplitude of the third region, the plurality of second and third regions alternately arranged; and

a driving circuit configured to measure a common voltage of the liquid crystal panel and generate a data driving signal that changes the driving pattern to one of the first pattern or second pattern in response to the measured common voltage.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the driving circuit is configured to generate the driving signal when the measured common voltage exceeds a predetermined level.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first pattern comprises:

a first pixel driven by a first polarity; and

a second and a third pixel driven by a second polarity, and thereafter the pixels of groups of two adjacent pixels are driven alternatingly by the first polarity and the second polarity.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second pattern comprises:

a first and a second pixel driven by a first polarity, and thereafter the pixels of alternating groups of two adjacent pixels are driven alternatingly by a second polarity and the first polarity, wherein the first and second pixel are adjacent to each other.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second region comprises a white display region and the third region comprises a black display region.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second region comprises a black display region and the third region comprises a white display region.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the driving circuit comprises an inversion control circuit configured to output a driving signal when the measured common voltage exceeds a predetermined level.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the inversion control circuit comprises an input terminal configured to receive a common voltage of the liquid crystal panel, and a switch coupled to the input terminal and an output terminal of the inversion control circuit.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the inversion control circuit further comprises a first resistor-capacitor (RC) parallel circuit coupled to the input terminal and the switch, and a second RC parallel circuit coupled to the switch and the output terminal.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the driving circuit further comprises a data driver that is configured to receive the driving signal and generate a plurality of data voltages corresponding to the first pattern or the second pattern.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal panel further comprises at least one common voltage supply line, a first end of the at least one common voltage supply line coupled to a power supply and a second end of the at least one common voltage supply line coupled to the driving circuit.
