Abstract

An exemplary liquid crystal display includes a common electrode capable of having a predetermined common voltage applied thereto, a first common voltage line connected to the common electrode, a second common voltage line connected to the common electrode, and a common voltage modulator connected to the first and second common voltage lines. The first and second common voltage lines have no overlap and being at opposite sides of the liquid crystal display. The common voltage modulator is configured to receive a distorted common voltage from the common electrode via the first common voltage line, and apply a corresponding compensating voltage to the common electrode via the second common voltage line.
