Liquid crystal display device and method of driving the same

A method of driving a liquid crystal display device, which includes first to fourth gate lines, first to seventh data lines crossing the first to fourth gate lines to define 18 pixels arranged in a 3*6 matrix;

• a thin film transistor in each pixel;
• first to third color filters corresponding to each pixel;
• and a liquid crystal capacitor in each pixel region, an electrode of the liquid crystal capacitor is connected to the thin film transistor, wherein the thin film transistors of a (2a−1)th pixel and a (2a)th pixel in a (2b)th pixel column share a (2a)th gate line, and the thin film transistors in a (2a)th pixel and a (2a+1)th pixel in a (2b+1)th pixel column share a (2b+1)th gate line, wherein the thin film transistors of a (2c−1)th pixel and a (2c)th pixel in a (2d−1)th pixel row share a (2c)th data line, and the thin film transistors of a (2c)th pixel and a (2c+1)th pixel in a (2d)th pixel row share a (2c+1)th data line, wherein one of the first to third color filters are arranged in a zigzag shape in two adjacent pixel columns, and the first to third color filters are alternately arranged in each pixel row, and wherein each of a, b, c and d is a positive integer, the method comprising:
• applying a first gate signal into the second gate line;
• applying a high-gray data signal into the third and fourth data lines and a low-gray data signal into the first, second and fifth to seventh data lines;
• applying a second gate signal into the third gate line;
• and
• applying a high-gray data signal into the second and fifth data lines and a low-gray data signal into the first, third, fourth, sixth and seventh data lines.
