Abstract: A pixel electrode is located in a pixel area defined by the intersections of the two adjacent gate lines and the two adjacent data lines, and has two linear openings extending in the transverse direction, which divide the pixel electrodes into three rectangular portions arranged in the longitudinal direction. The portions are connected in turn, and each portion of the pixel electrode has an X-shaped projection formed by the X-shaped member thereunder, and portions of the gate insulating film and the passivation film on the member. Since the gate insulating film and the passivation film are also located on the gate lines and the data lines, and the layered structure on the wires acts as peripheral projections of the pixel electrode. Each area enclosed by the projections, the openings and the peripheral projections is in a shape of equilateral trapezoid. The areas may be defined as the areas where the pixel electrode is in direct contact with the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving an EPG when a digital broadcasting system uses different frequency channels according to broadcasters. In the apparatus and method, the digital broadcasting system determines a first frequency channel for transmitting first EPG data for all broadcasting programs, transmits the first EPG data through the first frequency channel at a first data rate, and transmits second EPG data through second frequency channels at a second data rate less than the first data rate, the second EPG data including both broadcasting streams of a corresponding frequency channel and at least part of the first EPG data. A receiving terminal receives the first EPG data through the first frequency channel, or receives broadcasting program data through one of the second frequency channels and simultaneously receives the second EPG data to updates the first EPG data.
