Method and apparatus for driving liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• a liquid crystal display panel having a thin film transistor at each crossing of a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines;
• a gate driver configured to supply a gate high voltage and a gate low voltage during a data input period, and sequentially supply an AC voltage that pulses between the gate low voltage and a gate reset voltage to the gate lines during a reset period, wherein a normal drive period is divided into the data input period and the reset period, and wherein an average voltage applied to a pixel over the normal period is greater than a transition voltage corresponding to a splay state;
• a data driver configured to supply data voltages to the data lines in accordance with gate voltages applied to the gate lines;
• and
• a timing controller configured to control the data voltages supplied to the data lines and the gate voltages supplied to the gate lines.
