1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: an input unit configured to input data; a liquid crystal panel configured to include a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines arranged on it and to display an image corresponding to the data; a pattern recognizer configured to recognize at least one of a smear pattern and a shut-down pattern as specific patterns capable of causing picture-distorting phenomena and to generate a selection signal, which enables any one of several inversion systems capable of reducing the picture-distorting phenomena to be selected, on the basis of the recognized resultant; and an inversion driver configured to select an inversion system in correspondence with the selection signal and to drive a data driver and the liquid crystal panel in the selected inversion system, wherein the pattern recognizer detects a priority order of the smear and shut-down patterns and enables any one of the inversion systems to be selected according to the priority order when the data including all the smear and shut-down patterns is input.
