Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes a scanning backlight controller, that calculates a turn-on duty ratio of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal for controlling turn-on and turn-off operations of light sources, and a light source driver, that synchronizes a frequency of the PWM signal with a frame frequency or synchronizes the frequency of the PWM signal with the frame frequency, changes the calculated turn-on duty ratio of the PWM signal to a maximum value, and adjusts an amplitude of the PWM signal based on a changed degree of the turn-on duty ratio of the PWM signal, based on the result of a comparison between the turn-on duty ratio of the PWM signal and a previously determined critical value, and then sequentially drive the light sources along a data scanning direction of the liquid crystal display panel.
