The liquid crystal display includes a timing controller generating an output enable signal, a gate clock, and a signal start signal in response to an external input signal, a level shifter generating a gate clock pulse and a gate clock bar pulse in response to the output enable signal and the gate clock and generating a single start pulse in response to the start signal and the gate clock, and first and second gate driving circuits outputting the gate clock pulse or the gate clock bar pulse as a gate driving signal to the plurality of gate lines in response to the single start pulse.
Abstract:
A driver for driving a display device having a plurality of pixels connected to a plurality of data lines includes: a signal controller that creates a plurality of image signal groups and a plurality of identification codes corresponding to the plurality of image signal groups; and a plurality of data driving circuits each of which receives at least two identification codes of the plurality of identification codes and the image signal groups corresponding to the at least two identification codes, converts the image signals into data signals, and outputs the data signals to the data lines. In the driver, each of the data driving circuits compares the at least two identification codes, selects one of the image signal groups according to the result of the comparison, converts the image signals belonging to the one image signal group into the data signals, and outputs the other image signal groups to another data driving circuit. The identification codes are assigned to the image signal groups and the data driving integrated circuit selects the corresponding image signal group on the basis of the result of comparison between the identification codes, which makes it possible to prevent the image signal group from being transmitted to a non-corresponding data driving integrated circuit due to an error between the signal controller and the data driver.

Abstract:
A transistor includes a control electrode, a first current electrode and a second current electrode. The control electrode includes a body portion, and first and second hand portions protruded from first and second ends of the body portion, respectively. The first current electrode is electrically insulated from the control electrode and disposed over a region between the first and second hand portions of the control electrode. A portion of the first current electrode is overlapped with a portion of the control electrode. The second current electrode is electrically insulated from the control electrode and partially overlapped with the body portion, the first hand portion and the second hand portion of the control electrode. Therefore, parasitic capacitance is reduced.
