Liquid crystal display utilizing a timing controller for changing polarity arrangement and method of driving the same

Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel including a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction, a plurality of data lines extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, and a plurality of pixels connected to the gate lines and the data lines, a gate driver configured to apply gate signals to the gate lines, a data driver configured to apply data voltages to the data lines, and a timing controller configured to receive a control signal and image data, to apply a gate control signal to the gate driver, and to apply a data control signal to the data driver, wherein the timing controller is further configured to determine whether to change a present polarity arrangement on a basis of a color ratio of the image data.
