A liquid crystal display device that are adapted to display a certain
information to a user when no signal is input after a power was applied
to the liquid crystal display device. In the device, a liquid crystal
display panel has pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix type. A timing
controller generates and outputs control signals for driving the liquid
crystal display panel in response to a timing synchronizing signal
inputted from the exterior thereof, and re-arranges and outputs an input
data. A drive circuit is connected between the liquid crystal display
panel and the timing controller to display a data inputted from the
timing controller on the liquid crystal display panel in response to the
control signal. An oscillator generates a pre-synchronizing signal having
a desired frequency to apply the same to the timing controller. A signal
presence determiner compares the timing synchronizing signal with the
pre-synchronizing signal to generate a determining signal indicating an
input existence of the timing synchronizing signal. A control signal
generator generates a control signal on the basis of the
pre-synchronizing signal in response to a determining signal indicating
no input of the timing synchronizing signal. A data storage device stores
a certain picture data and outputs the picture data to the drive circuit
in response to the determining signal indicating no input of the timing
synchronizing signal.
