Abstract
A method for driving a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel includes sequentially buffering each row of pixel data of a first display image in a corresponding pixel row of the LCD panel. The method also includes activating a backlight of the LCD panel after the last row of pixel data of the first display image has been buffered at the last pixel row of the LCD panel but before liquid crystal settling of the last pixel row of the LCD panel has completed. The method also may include initiating sequential buffering of each row of pixel data of a second display image in a corresponding pixel row of the LCD panel prior to the liquid crystal settling of the last pixel row of the LCD panel completing, wherein activating the backlight of the LCD panel comprises activating the backlight while at least one pixel row of the LCD panel buffers a corresponding row of pixel data from the second display image and other pixel rows of the LCD panel buffer corresponding rows of pixel data from the first display image.
