Liquid crystal display device and method of driving the same

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines crossing substantially perpendicular to each other;
• a first display section and a second display section divided by a specific one of the data lines;
• a plurality of first data drive ICs driving the data lines in the first display section;
• a plurality of second data drive ICs driving the data lines in the second display section;
• and
• a timing controller rearranging image data input from a system into first image data corresponding to the first display section and second image data corresponding to the second display section, supplying the first image data in a sequence starting from one of the first data drive ICs farthest from the specific data line towards one of the first data drive ICs closest to the specific data line, and simultaneously supplying the second image data in a sequence starting from one of the second data drive ICs farthest from the specific data line towards one of the second data drive ICs closest to the specific data line.

A method of driving a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel having a first display section and a second display section divided by a specific data line, a plurality of first data drive ICs driving data lines in the first display section, and a plurality of second data drive ICs driving data lines in the second display section, the method comprising:

• dividing image data input from a system into first image data corresponding to the first display section and second image data corresponding to the second display section;
• outputting the first image data in a sequence starting from a last-input one of the first image data, and outputting the second image data in a sequence starting from a first-input one of the second image data;
• inputting the first image data in a sequence starting from one of the first data drive ICs closest to the specific data line towards one of the first data drive ICs farthest from the specific data line;
• and
• inputting the second image data in a sequence starting from one of the second data drive ICs closest to the specific data line towards one of the second data drive ICs farthest from the specific data line.
