Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first and second substrate facing each other;
• a plurality of pairs of data lines formed on the first substrate, each pair of data lines including first and second data lines adjacent to each other;
• a plurality of gate lines formed on the first substrate to intersect the data lines, the gate lines defining pixel areas between the first and second data lines;
• a plurality of pixel electrodes formed in the pixel areas;
• a plurality of first thin film transistors formed at an intersection of the first data line and an odd gate line and electrically connected to a pixel electrode associated with the odd gate line;
• a plurality of second thin film transistors formed at an intersection of the second data line and an even gate line and electrically connected to a pixel electrode associated with the even gate line;
• a gate driver for applying a gate signal to the gate lines;
• a source driver operable to output a data signal to the first and second data lines;
• and
• a first sampling/holding unit and a second sampling/holding unit for storing a data signal output from the source driver and transmitting the stored data signal to the first and second data lines.

A driving method of a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• supplying a gate high signal to neighboring gate lines wherein the gate high signal is overlapping at the neighboring gate lines during at least a half period of the gate high signal;
• applying a data signal from a source driver to a first data line;
• and
• applying the data signal from the source driver to a second data line after a predetermined delay, wherein the second data line is disposed adjacent the first data line and defines a pixel area with the first data line and one of the neighboring gate lines.
