Abstract

A method for driving a liquid crystal display device including a TFT liquid crystal display panel. The TFT liquid crystal display panel includes a plurality of pixel electrodes, a common electrode opposing the pixel electrodes, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the pixel electrodes and the common electrode. The method includes the steps of generating a plurality of positive gradation voltages with a first voltage dividing resistor circuit, the first voltage dividing resistor circuit being a single series circuit formed by a plurality of resistors connected in series, each of the positive gradation voltages being higher than a midpoint voltage Vasc, generating a plurality of negative gradation voltages with a second voltage dividing resistor circuit, the second voltage dividing resistor circuit being a single series circuit formed by a plurality of resistors connected in series, each of the negative gradation voltages being lower than the midpoint voltage Vasc and being paired with a respective one of the positive gradation voltages, thereby providing a plurality of paired positive and negative gradation voltages, and applying the positive gradation voltages and the negati…
