The liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel; a gate driver; a data driver; a pre-charge driver that sequentially transfers pre-charge signals to each of data lines by data enable signals before data signals are transferred to each of the data lines; and a timing controller. The pre-charge driving method of a liquid crystal display comprises sequentially supplying scan signals to each of a plurality of gate lines; sequentially transferring pre-charge signals to each of a plurality of data lines by data enable signals; and sequentially transferring data signals to each of the data lines by the data enable signals after the pre-charge signals are transferred to each of the data lines.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method of fabricating a ferroelectric liquid crystal display which prevents problems of injecting liquid crystal that result from a volume shrinking of the liquid crystal during the injection process. In the method, the pressure in a chamber is changed to above a liquid crystal injection pressure, while cooling a liquid crystal panel after injecting the liquid crystal, and at the same time, the temperature of a liquid crystal tray maintained at a liquid crystal injection temperature, to continue injection of the liquid crystal to an otherwise un-injected portion of the liquid crystal panel, so that an problems related to inadequate injection can be prevented.

Abstract:
A liquid crystal display and a method of fabricating such a liquid crystal display wherein a buffer layer having a hydrophilic property is formed at normal (atmospheric) pressure on the exposed surface of a hydrophobic organic passivation layer. The buffer layer improves the adhesion between an exposed surface and a subsequently formed electrode layer. The buffer layer is beneficially formed from an oxide layer that is induced on the surface of the buffer layer using UV radiation having a wavelength of 100 to 200 nm. Such a buffer layer can eliminate vacuum fabrication and shorten the fabrication time of the liquid crystal display.

Abstract:
A data driving apparatus and method for a liquid crystal display wherein a digital to analog converter part is driven on a time-division basis to increase the number of output channels of a data driving IC without excessively increasing a chip area or by reducing a chip area in comparison to the existing chip area, thereby reducing the number of data driving IC's and TCP's. In the apparatus, a multiplexor part performs a time-division of input pixel data to output the time-divided pixel data. A digital to analog converter part converts the pixel data from the multiplexor part into pixel voltage signals. A demultiplexor part selectively supplies the pixel voltage signals from the digital to analog converter part to a plurality of output lines of the demultiplexor part. A sampler and holder part samples and holds the pixel voltage signals from the demultiplexor part to output the sampled and held pixel voltage signals to a plurality of data lines of the liquid crystal display.
