  • Publication number: 20090066623
    Abstract: A color sequential liquid crystal display (LCD) and a method of driving the same are introduced herein. The method is implemented to change transmittance of a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel by inserting a pre-driving signal between two adjacent frames. The pre-driving signal can be adjusted by the gray level difference of the adjacent frames. The method is capable of not only improving accuracy of the color mixing of the color sequential liquid crystal display (LCD), but also resolving the prior art problem of uneven pixel displays resulted from the time difference of activating different gate line in sequences in the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel.
