A method and apparatus for driving a liquid crystal display panel that is
capable of driving a liquid crystal display panel having five color dots
within one pixel. In the method, adjacent first color sub-pixels spaced
at a desired distance, of a plurality of first color sub-pixels arranged
at the middle portion of a pixel are shorted to apply a first color data
to said adjacent first color sub-pixels. A second color data is applied
to a plurality of second color sub-pixels arranged at one edge of said
middle portion within said one pixel. A third color data is applied to a
plurality of third color sub-pixels arranged at other edge of said middle
portion within said one pixel.
