Abstract

A liquid crystal display (LCD) and methods of driving same. In one embodiment, the LCD) includes a plurality of gate lines, {Gn}, spatially arranged along a row direction; a plurality of data lines, {Dm}, spatially arranged along a column direction perpendicular to the row direction, and a plurality of pixels, {Pn,m}, spatially arranged in the form of a matrix, where m=1, 2, . . . , M, n=1, 2, . . . , N, and M and N are positive integers. Each pixel Pn,m is defined between two neighboring gate lines Gn and Gn+1 and two neighboring data lines Dm and Dm+1, and comprises a first sub-pixel electrode, a second sub-pixel electrode, a first transistor having a gate electrically coupled to the gate line Gn+1, a source and a drain electrically coupled to the first sub-pixel electrode, a second transistor having a gate electrically coupled to the gate line Gn, a source electrically coupled to the source of the first transistor and a drain electrically coupled to the second sub-pixel electrode, and a third transistor having a gate electrically coupled to the gate line Gn+2, a source electrically coupled to one of the two neighboring data lines Dm and Dm+1 and a drain electrically coupled to t…
