Liquid crystal display and method for driving same

Abstract

An LCD includes a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of pixel units each including a liquid crystal capacitor, a scanning circuit for providing scanning signals to the pixel units, a data circuit for providing gray-scale voltage signals to the pixel units; and a timing controller for receiving at least one timing signal and providing a timing control signal to control a driving timing of the scanning circuit and the data circuit according to at least one timing signal. The timing controller outputs a reset control signal to the scanning circuit upon detecting that the liquid crystal display enters a power-off state based on the at least one timing signal. The reset control signal directs the scanning signal to activate all the pixel units to discharge liquid crystal capacitors. A method for driving a liquid crystal display is also provided.
