  • Publication number: 20240142826
    Abstract: Disclosed is a display device having a thin film transistor substrate, which may prevent afterimage and flicker defects by reducing the non-uniformity of an electric field. In the thin film transistor substrate, a pixel electrode includes a transparent edge electrode and a transparent inner electrode, which are spaced apart from each other with a first slit having a first width interposed therebetween, and a common electrode is exposed from the other-side end of the transparent edge electrode by a second width, which is smaller than the first width, in the width direction of a data line. As such, an inner area and an edge area in each sub pixel have uniform electric field distribution.

  • Patent number: 8284180
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD) device and, more particularly, to an LCD device capable of driving a light emitting diode (LED) provided to turn on a fluorescent lamp provided as a light source in darkness by using an induced voltage without employing a driving circuit to thus minimize a fabrication cost and power consumption. An LCD device according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the power voltage is applied to the power supply line to drive the fluorescent lamp, the LED is driven by the power voltage and, at the same time, the power voltage is supplied also to the fluorescent lamp. Thus, light emitted from the LED helps early turn on the fluorescent lamp when the fluorescent lamp is driven in darkness.
