Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) and an operating method thereof are provided. The operating method includes the following steps. It is determined whether a first frame and a second frame following the first frame are dynamic frames. When the first frame and the second frame are dynamic frames, a timing controller of the LCD performs a polarity inversion on a polarity signal, so that the polarity signal corresponding to the first frame is the same as the polarity signal corresponding to the second frame. When the second frame is written into an LCD panel of the LCD, energy written into the LCD panel is reduced.

Thus, the line compensated overdriving circuit can eliminate the spatial intensity variations associated with the conventional color sequential displays.

Abstract: An overdrive device for driving a display panel includes a comparison circuit, a multiplexer, and an overdrive module. The comparison circuit receives pixel values of display cells of the display panel in a previous frame carried on a first decompressed data signal and in a current frame carried on a second decompressed data signal, and determines whether the brightness/color of each target display cell is static to assert or de-assert a selection signal. The multiplexer outputs an output signal to output at least a reference pixel value for the overdrive module according to the selection signal. The overdrive module receives the reference pixel value, and overdrives the target display cell according to an overdrive value corresponding to a combination of the received current and reference pixel values stored in a look-up table of the overdrive module.
