Provided are a liquid crystal display (LCD) device and a driving method
thereof for displaying high-resolution images. The LCD device comprises a
plurality of pixel groups including a first pixel and a second pixel
arranged in a same pixel column of two adjacent pixel rows. Each of the
first and second pixels forms a dot in combination with an adjacent pixel
disposed at each side of the first and second pixels in a corresponding
pixel row. A plurality of gate lines arranged for each pixel row in a
horizontal direction to transfer a gate voltage to the respective pixels.
A plurality of data lines formed in a vertical direction while traversing
the gate lines and arranged for each pixel column to transfer a data
voltage to the respective pixels. A switching device is formed in each
pixel which has a first side and a second side. The switching devices
formed at pixels of a first pixel group row are connected to the data
lines on the first side, and switching devices formed at pixels of a
second pixel group row are connected to the data lines of the second
side.
