Method of driving a display panel and display apparatus performing the same

Abstract

A method of driving a display panel includes applying a common voltage and a bias voltage to two of a first electrode, a second electrode and a third electrode of the display panel to form a vertical field during a period during which the display panel displays an image, and applying a data voltage based on a grayscale of the image to one of the first and second electrodes to form an in-plane field during the period during which the display panel displays the image, where the display panel includes a first substrate including the first electrode, the second electrode which overlaps the first electrode and a transistor connected to one of the first and second electrodes, and a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate and including the third electrode.
