ABSTRACT:
A driving method for a liquid crystal display is provided with the steps of (a) applying a row select voltage to each of the row electrodes simultaneously, the row select voltage corresponding to an element of an orthogonal matrix and being either +1 or -1 ; (b) conducting an exclusive-or operation with respect to each element of a row select vector and a display vector, the row select vector indicating the row select voltages by vector notation and the display vector indicating a display data by the vector notation, and conducting a summation of each exclusive-or operation; (c) applying to the column electrode a voltage of a level which varies depending on the summation so as to simultaneously drive the plurality of rows; and (d) in a case where all the display data correspond to ON display or OFF display in the step (c), assigning the row select voltage, applied to either the selected row electrode having the lowest select voltage among driving voltages within one frame period for the ON display or the selected row electrode having the highest select voltage among the driving voltages within one frame period for the OFF display, to a virtual row electrode outside a display area, and applying a virtual display data to the virtual row electrode.
