Liquid crystal display for improving dynamic contrast and a method for generating gamma voltages for the liquid crystal display
An LCD for improving dynamic contrast by adjusting gamma voltages according to the brightness of an image is provided. The LCD includes: a liquid crystal display panel assembly having a plurality of pixels provided on crossing areas of a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines; a gate driver applying voltage signals for sequentially scanning the gate lines; a source driver applying voltage signals for image display to the data lines; a timing controller providing image data and a control signal for the source driver, providing a gate line on/off control signal for the gate driver, and outputting digital gamma data to a digital/analogue (D/A) converter; and the D/A converter connected to the timing controller for converting the digital gamma data from the timing controller into analog signals to generate a plurality of gamma voltages and outputting the gamma voltages to the source driver. The LCD generates the gamma voltages by the D/A converter in place of using serially-connected resistors, and thus, the gamma voltages may vary depending on the brightness of the image.
