Abstract

An LCD device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a receiver, which receives color image data by frame in series, a generator generating gray image data, which are displayable at the liquid crystal display panel, a selector inserting the gray image data as a frame image between two frames of the color image data, which are next to each other on time base and an accelerator increasing a frame rate by which the color and gray image data are transmitted.

Claims (15)

1 . A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel;

a receiver, which receives color image data by frame in series, wherein the color image data are data of a color image being displayed on a liquid crystal display panel;

a generator generating gray image data, which are data of a gray image displayable at the liquid crystal display panel; and

a selector inserting the gray image data as a frame image between two frames of the color image data, which are next to each other on time base; and

a accelerator increasing a frame rate by which the color and gray image data are transmitted.

2 . A liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gray image data are generated by the two frames of the color image data, which are next to each other on time base.

3 . A liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the accelerator increases the frame rate at double.

4 . A liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the color image data includes at least a first color image data received at the receiver and a second color image data received at the receiver at the next to the first color image data, further comprising:

a memory temporary storing the first color image data including luminance information for one frame; and

a comparator comparing the luminance information of the first color image data with luminance information of the second color image data, and calculating average luminance between the first and the second color image data.

5 . A liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the gray image data includes the average luminance.

6 . A liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the luminance information is calculated from the luminance information of pixel data of each first and second color image data.

7 . A liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gray image data include the same luminance for each sub-pixel in each pixel.

8 . A liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gray image data include a plurality of gradation.
