Abstract: In a liquid crystal display panel including an array substrate having a first pixel electrode and a first common electrode, and an opposite substrate facing the array substrate, the opposite substrate including a second pixel electrode and a second common electrode. A liquid crystal layer is interposed between the array substrate and the opposite substrate. Electric fields are formed between the first pixel electrode and the first common electrode and between the second pixel electrode and the second common electrode, respectively.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes: a first insulation substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on the first insulation substrate; a data line crossing with the plurality of gate lines to form a pixel region; a pixel electrode that is divided into a main pixel electrode and a sub-pixel electrode by a pixel electrode cutting pattern and that is provided in the pixel region; a first thin film transistor that includes a drain electrode connected to the main pixel electrode and overlapped with the sub-pixel electrode with a protective film interposed therebetween; and a second thin film transistor that includes a control end connected to a previous gate line, an input end connected to the sub-pixel electrode, and an output end connected to the main pixel electrode.

Abstract: An additional capacitor (“sharing capacitor”) is provided for each pixel of a liquid crystal display to store the previous voltage on the pixel electrode (i.e. the voltage obtained in the previous frame). At an opportune time after the pixel electrode has begun to charge for the current frame, the sharing capacitor's electrode is coupled to the pixel electrode to combine the pixel electrode's voltage with the sharing capacitor's voltage. As a result, the pixel electrode's voltage is changed to take into account the previous voltage so as to increase the liquid crystal's response speed. More particularly, the sharing capacitor's voltage changes the pixel voltage to provide a greater voltage overshoot or undershoot when the pixel color is changed a lot, so as to increase the liquid crystal response time. Therefore, greater response speed is provided at low power.

Abstract: In a display panel, main and sub pixel electrodes are connected to first and second drain electrodes of a thin film transistor, respectively, to receive a data voltage during a 1 H period as main and sub pixel voltages. A main storage electrode overlaps the main pixel electrode to receive a first common voltage that varies with the gate pulse and the polarity of the data voltage. A sub storage electrode overlaps the sub pixel electrode to receive a second common voltage that is uniformly maintained at a constant voltage level. The sub pixel voltage is uniformly maintained by the second common voltage, but the main pixel voltage is shifted up or down by the first common voltage. Thus, the main pixel voltage may have a voltage level higher than that of the sub pixel voltage.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate, a second substrate. and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate includes a first insulating substrate, a plurality of gate lines extending parallel to one another on the first insulating substrate, a plurality of data lines insulated from and crossing the gate lines to define a pixel region, a plurality of first electrode layers formed to be longer in the direction in which the gate lines extend than in the direction in which the data lines extend in the pixel region, and second electrode layers disposed on the gate lines and between the first electrode layers.
