1. A method of driving a display device, the method comprising:
determining a first difference Δ1, wherein Δ1 is a difference between gray signals of two consecutive frames;
comparing Δ1 to a predetermined value to obtain a comparison result;
using the comparison result to determine a modified current gray signal; and,
applying the modified current gray signal to a current frame;
wherein the gray signals are a current gray signal for the current frame and a previous gray signal for a frame preceding the current frame;
wherein the predetermined value is a first predetermined value and the comparison result is a first comparison result, and further comprising:
determining a second difference Δ2, wherein Δ2 is a difference between the current gray signal and a next gray signal for a frame succeeding the current frame;
comparing Δ2 to a second predetermined value to obtain a second comparison result; and,
using the second comparison result to determine the modified current gray signal.
