20100033453LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY HAVING ENDURANCE AGAINST ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE - In a liquid crystal display equipped with a timing controller, the timing controller generates a restoration signal having a predetermined pulse width in response to a data enable signal and operates in a fail mode when a difference between the data enable signal and the restoration signal is larger than a threshold value. Even if the data enable signal is distorted by electrostatic discharge, the liquid crystal display uses the restoration signal as a data enable signal without entering the fail mode when the distortion degree is smaller than the threshold value. Thus, a user may not recognize the electrostatic discharge when the electrostatic discharge is applied to the liquid crystal display for a short period of time.02-11-2010
