The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device and a driving method thereof, and in more detail, using a carbon nanotube as a backlight unit of the liquid crystal display device to adjust the brightness of the backline light source and to adjust the brightness in units of blocks of the liquid crystal display device. The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device having a backlight, and a driving method thereof.
In a flat panel display, a plurality of pixels are arranged on a substrate to form a display area, and a scan line and a data line are connected to each pixel to selectively apply a data signal to the pixel for display.
The flat panel display is classified into a passive matrix type light emitting display device and an active matrix type light emitting display device according to the driving method of a pixel, and is selected and lit for each unit pixel in view of resolution, contrast, and operation speed. Matrix type is the mainstream.
Such a flat panel display is used as a display device such as a personal information terminal such as a personal computer, a mobile phone, a PDA, or a monitor of various information devices. An organic light emitting display device using a liquid crystal panel, an organic light emitting diode, or a plasma is used. PDPs using panels are known.

The liquid crystal display configured as described above emits light with the same brightness regardless of whether the gray level of the image displayed by the backlight unit is high or low. Therefore, even when a dark screen is displayed, there is a problem in that it consumes the same power as a bright screen. In addition, when displaying a bright screen, there is a fear that the glare is large, there is a problem that the visibility is poor.
The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to adjust the brightness of the backlight unit in response to the data signal by using the back light emitting device to reduce power consumption and improve visibility It is to provide a liquid crystal display device and a driving method thereof.
In order to achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention provides an image signal corresponding to a data signal and a scan signal, and is divided into a plurality of blocks. A data driver to generate the data signal and transmit the data signal to the pixel unit, a scan driver to generate the scan signal and transmit the light signal to the pixel unit, and a plurality of light sources corresponding to the plurality of blocks. And a backlight unit configured to transmit the backlight unit, wherein the backlight unit generates block data input to the light source in units of blocks, and adjusts brightness by adjusting a pulse width of the block data in response to an image signal input in one frame. To provide.
In order to achieve the above object, a second aspect of the present invention provides a method of providing a display device comprising: dividing a pixel unit into a plurality of blocks and adding a sum of grays of data signals input in units of blocks and grays of data signals input in one frame; Luminance is a method of driving a liquid crystal display device comprising the step of determining corresponding to the gray level of the data signal input in units of blocks and the data combination of the data signal input in one frame.
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In addition, frame data represents the sum of video signals input in one frame section. If the size of the frame data is large, the luminance of one frame is high, and if the size of the frame data is small, the luminance of one frame is low, so that one frame according to the size of the frame data is obtained. If the brightness of one frame is high, the brightness of the frame is high to prevent glare by reducing the brightness of the frame, and the power consumption is reduced. If the brightness of one frame is low, the brightness of the frame is maintained to prevent the brightness from being lowered. Let this be better.
Then, the clock generator is controlled by the frame data to generate a clock signal by the clock generator. When the size of the frame data is smaller than that of the frame data, the clock signal is shortened in frequency (520).
After counting the clock signal, the block data is compared to generate a cathode signal. The cathode signal allows the time point delivered by the clock signal and the block data to be adjusted.

According to the liquid crystal display device and the driving method thereof according to the present invention, the brightness of the backlight unit of the liquid crystal display device can be adjusted in accordance with the data signal, and a separate light source is transmitted in block units of the liquid crystal display device to block the liquid crystal display device. You can adjust the brightness. In addition, by identifying the luminance on a frame-by-frame basis, when one frame emits light with high luminance, the luminance is decreased, and when the frame emits low luminance, the luminance is increased to increase visibility. In addition, power consumption may be reduced and life of the backlight unit may be improved.
