A liquid crystal display and the driving method thereof are disclosed. The liquid crystal display includes a plurality of pixels, data lines for transmitting data driving signals to the pixels, a scanning driver for generating scanning driving signals, a waveform shaping circuit for connecting with the scanning driver, a plurality of scanning lines for transmitting the shaped scanning driving signal to the pixels. The waveform shaping circuit shapes the waveforms of the scanning driving signal along a rising edge. In this way, the voltage difference between the pixel electrodes is eliminated. Thus, the color shift is reduced, and the display performance of the liquid crystal display is enhanced.
