Liquid crystal display device and operating method thereof

A liquid crystal display device includes one or more data line on a substrate; first and second gate lines crossing the one or more data line to form first and second pixels, the one or more data line providing an image signal to a first electrode of each of the first and second pixels, and the first and second gate lines providing first and second scan signals to the first and second pixels, respectively; a first common voltage unit corresponding to the first gate line, the first common voltage unit for selectively applying a first common voltage to a second electrode of the first pixel via a first common voltage line in accordance with one of the first and second scan signals; and a second common voltage unit corresponding to the second gate line, the second common voltage unit for selectively applying a second common voltage to a second electrode of the second pixel via a second common voltage line in accordance with another one of the first and second scan signals.
