Abstract

A liquid crystal display comprising a display region, a control unit, a plurality of source drivers located along a first direction, and a plurality of gate drivers located along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A driving method of the liquid crystal display comprises dividing the display region into a plurality of screen regions with each screen region is in correspondence with one source driver or one gate driver; according to the display characteristics of the screen regions. The control unit generates a plurality of regulated signals for changing the output voltage value of the corresponding driver or changing the operating time of the corresponding driver. The regulated signal are sent to the corresponding driver.

Claims (7)

1. A driving method of a liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal display comprising a display region, a control unit, a plurality of source drivers located along a first direction and outputting data signals, and a plurality of gate drivers located along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the driving method comprising:

dividing the display region into a plurality of screen regions along the second direction, each screen region being in correspondence with one gate driver; and

according to display characteristics of the screen regions, the control unit generating a plurality of regulated signals for the gate drivers;

wherein, the regulated signals are in one-to-one correspondence with the gate drivers and the gate drivers output scan signals according to the corresponding regulated signals, and the regulated signals separately adjust the operating time of the corresponding gate driver, such that offset between the data signals and the scan signals is reduced.

2. The driving method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the displacement of the cycle of the regulated signal increases the farther away from the source drivers along the second direction.

3. The driving method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the control unit includes a memory, a complex programmable logic device, and a timing controller, both the memory and the timing controller are electronically connected to the complex programmable logic device, and the memory stores the display characteristics of the LCD.

4. The driving method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the complex programmable logic device outputs a plurality of regulated signals which have different cycle shifts according to the display characteristics of the memory.
