Abstract

An exemplary liquid crystal panel ( 20 ) includes a plurality of scanning lines ( 23 ) that are parallel to each other, a plurality of data lines ( 24 ) that are parallel to each other and orthogonal to the scanning lines, at least one first data driving ( 221 ) circuit configured for proving a plurality of gray scale voltages to part of immediately adjacent data lines, and at least one second data driving circuit ( 222 ) configured for providing a plurality of gray scale voltages to the other part of the data lines. The scanning lines and date lines cooperatively define a plurality of sub-pixels ( 26 ) formed in a matrix. The polarities of the sub-pixels in each row that receive the first gray scale voltages being correspondingly opposite to the polarities of the sub-pixels in the same row that receive the second gray scale voltages.
