A method of driving a flat-panel display, to which k bits of gray-scale data consisting of first through j-th bits, each having a low weighted value, and (j+1)-th through k-th bits, each having a high weighted value, are input during each frame. The method includes time-dividing a unit frame into a plurality of sub-fields, displaying the first through j-th bits (j is an integer greater than 2) of the gray-scale data by a plurality of frames and displaying the (j+1)-th through k-th bits (k is an integer greater than 4) of the gray scale data by the plurality of sub-fields.
