Abstract

A driving method with reducing image sticking effect is disclosed. The driving method includes applying a voltage on the data lines for trapping impurities crossing the data lines and lowering the degree of the image sticking effect, and applying different asymmetric waveforms to different data lines for trapping impurities crossing the data lines and lowering the degree of the image sticking effect.

Claims (18)

1. A driving method for reducing image sticking associated with images of a liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal display comprising a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of pixel areas, the driving method comprising:

during a first period of time, sequentially turning on the plurality of scan lines and inputting data of a first image to the plurality of pixel areas;

during a second period of time, sequentially turning on the plurality of scan lines and inputting data of a second image to the plurality of pixel areas; and

between the first period of time and the second period of time, generating and applying a first voltage having a voltage level higher than a highest voltage level corresponding to the data of the first image.

2. The driving method of claim 1 , wherein applying the first voltage comprises applying a positive voltage to a first set of the plurality of data lines.

3. The driving method of claim 1 , further comprising:

between the first period of time and the second period of time, applying a second voltage to a second set of the plurality of data lines.

4. The driving method of claim 3 , wherein a polarity of the second voltage is opposite to a polarity of the first voltage.

5. The driving method of claim 1 , wherein applying the first voltage is applying the first voltage to all of the plurality of data lines.

6. A driving method for reducing image sticking associated with images of a liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal display comprising a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of pixel areas, the driving method comprising:

during a first period of time, sequentially turning on the plurality of scan lines and inputting data of a first image to the plurality of pixel areas;

during a second period of time, sequentially turning on the plurality of scan lines and inputting data of a second image to the plurality of pixel areas; and

between the first period of time and the second period of time, generating and applying a first voltage having a voltage level lower than a lowest voltage level corresponding to the data of the first image.

7. The driving method of claim 6 , wherein applying the first voltage comprises applying a negative voltage to a first set of the plurality of data lines.

8. The driving method of claim 6 , further comprising:

between the first period of time and the second period of time, applying a second voltage to a second set of the plurality of data lines.

9. The driving method of claim 8 , wherein a polarity of the second voltage is opposite to a polarity of the first voltage.

10. The driving method of claim 6 , wherein applying the first voltage is applying the first voltage to all of the plurality of data lines.
