Abstract
Disclosed is a flat panel display and a drive method thereof. The flat panel display comprises a flat panel including a signal wire arrangement for transmitting image drive signals to pixels, a row signal wire arrangement for transmitting scanning signals, and a column signal wire arrangement for transmitting image signals; a master drive output unit, the master drive output unit generating output signals for driving pixels and supplying the output signals to a corresponding signal wire arrangement; and an slave drive unit, the slave drive unit supplying compensation signals to the signal wire arrangement before the output signals of the master drive output unit are charged to thereby enable the easy charging of the output signals of the master drive output unit. The drive method comprises the steps of supplying and charging compensation signals by the slave drive unit, the compensation signals being supplied to a corresponding signal wire arrangement before the output signals of the master drive output unit are charged to thereby enable the easy charging of the output signals of the master drive output unit; and supplying output signals for the driving of pixels by the master drive output unit following the supply of the compensation signals.
