A liquid crystal display and method for driving the same are proposed. The liquid crystal display includes a pixel matrix. The pixel matrix includes two first pixel groups each having a first pixel and a second pixel are at one side of the data line, and two second pixel groups each having a third pixel and a fourth pixel are at the other side of the data line. The driving method includes steps of: driving one of the two second pixel groups to transmit a first signal to a fourth pixel of the driven second pixel group, driving one of the two first pixel groups to transmit a second signal to a first pixel of the driven first pixel group, driving the other second pixel group to transmit a third signal to a fourth pixel of the other second pixel group, and driving the second group to transmit a fourth signal to a third pixel of the driven second pixel group.
