1. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:
a scan driving unit generating a first gate voltage and a second gate voltage different from the first gate voltage and comprising a first D-type flip-flop and a second D-type flip-flop;
a data driving unit generating gray scale voltages;
a plurality of gate lines transmitting the first gate voltage and the second gate voltage from the scan driving unit;
a plurality of data lines crossing the gate lines and transmitting the gray scale voltages from the data driving unit;
a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix form and divided into a plurality of pixel row groups, each pixel row group comprising a first pixel row and a second pixel row neighboring the first pixel row, polarities of the pixels being inverted per the pixel row group;
a plurality of pixel electrodes provided to the pixels, respectively; and a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) provided to the pixels, respectively, each TFT comprising a gate electrode connected to the corresponding gate line, a source electrode connected to the corresponding data line, and drain electrode connected to the corresponding pixel electrode,
wherein the first gate voltage is transferred to the gate electrode of the first pixel row and the second gate voltage is transferred to the gate electrode of the second pixel row.
