- wherein the data voltage supplied to each data line is inverted n (n is a natural number) times in polarity for every frame, and is over-driven for the gate lines, where polarity inversions occur,
- wherein the data line receives the data voltage which has an inverted polarity to those of data voltages on the adjacent data lines thereto, is inverted n times in polarity for every frame, and is over-driven for the gate lines opposite to time points of the polarity inversions,
- wherein the gamma generator includes:
- a gamma reference voltage generation portion configured to derive a plurality of gamma reference voltages from a supply voltage applied from a power supplier;

- a resistor portion configured to generate the plurality of gamma reference voltages by voltage-dividing the supply voltage;
- and
- a gamma reference voltage selector serially connected to the resistor portion and configured to generate a most significant gamma reference voltage,
- wherein the gamma reference voltage selector adjusts a voltage level of the most significant gamma reference voltage and selects voltage levels of the plural gamma reference voltage generated in the resistor portion,
- wherein the gamma reference voltage selector enables not only the most significant gamma reference voltage to selectively have one of a low voltage level and a high voltage level, but also the gamma reference voltages generated in the resistor portion to selectively have one of normal voltage levels and relatively high voltage levels to the normal voltage levels,
- wherein the resistor portion includes a plurality of resistors each connected between a plurality of nodes,
