Abstract: An apparatus and method for driving a small-sized or low-powered liquid crystal display (LCD) device are provided to reduce the amount of energy consumed in driving the LCD device while displaying a high-quality moving image on a small-sized LCD panel without distortion such as tailing or blurriness, where the apparatus includes a compensation unit, a storage unit, an output unit, and a control unit.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for driving a small-sized or low-powered liquid crystal display (LCD) device are provided to reduce the amount of energy consumed in driving the LCD device while displaying a high-quality moving image on a small-sized LCD panel without distortion such as tailing or blurriness, where the apparatus includes a compensation unit, which compensates for first image data with reference to a predetermined lookup table (LUT) in response to a first input control signal in a first mode, the first image data being consecutively input to the apparatus; a storage unit, which updates and then stores the first image data and second image data and outputs one of the first image data or the second image data in response to a second input control signal, the second image data being consecutively input to the apparatus; an output unit, which outputs one of the first image data, the second image data, or the compensated first image data in response to an output control signal; and a control unit, which gen
