Abstract

A driving method is cooperated with a blue phase liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus having a first substrate and a second substrate opposite to the first substrate. The first substrate has a first electrode layer, and the second substrate has a pixel electrode and a second electrode layer. The driving method includes the steps of: transmitting a first gray level voltage to the pixel electrode; transmitting a first black frame insertion voltage to the pixel electrode; and transmitting a first voltage to the first electrode layer, thereby providing a voltage gap between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer. Accordingly, the dark-state light-leakage of the blue phase LCD apparatus can be improved.
