  • Patent number: 7358945
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display with improved gray-scale display. The liquid crystal display includes a plurality of pixel areas, each including first and second substrates disposed opposite each other and a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. A first pixel electrode and a first pixel driving device electrically connected thereto are formed on part of the first substrate. A second pixel electrode and a second pixel driving device electrically connected thereto are formed on part of the first substrate. A common electrode is formed on the interior of the second substrate. The first and second pixel driving devices have mutually different ON currents, resulting in the first and second pixel electrodes having mutually different voltages.

  • Publication number: 20080079884
    Abstract: A pixel structure is provided. A scan line and a data line are disposed over a substrate. A first, second, and third thin film transistors are electrically connected with the data line and the scan line. The width-to-length ratios of the second and third thin film transistors are the same but larger than that of the first thin film transistor. A first, second and third pixel electrodes are electrically connected with the first, the second and the third thin film transistors, respectively. A first, second and third common lines are disposed below the first, second and third pixel electrodes respectively. The first and second common lines are electrically connected to a first voltage and the third common line is electrically connected to a second voltage.

  • Publication number: 20070075961
    Abstract: A panel of a liquid crystal display panel with a plurality of pixels is disclosed, wherein each pixel comprises one switch, one pixel electrode and one floating line. The switch comprises a gate, a source, and two drains. The pixel electrode can be electrically connected to the switch through the drain. Besides, each floating conductive line and two drains of the same switch are crossed but electrically disconnected. Hence, the design of the dual drain (or dual source) illustrated above and the combined the technique of laser welding can be used to repair the source-drain leakage of the substrate of the liquid crystal display device.
