  • Patent number: 6466290
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display (LCD) in which the direction of a fringe field produced at one unit pixel is orthogonal to the direction of a fringe field produced at each of unit pixels adjacent to the one unit pixel. The disclosed fringe field switching mode LCD includes counter electrodes and pixel electrodes arranged on a back substrate to produce a fringe field having horizontal elements parallel to data bus lines at one unit pixel while producing a fringe field having horizontal elements parallel to gate bus lines at each of unit pixels longitudinally and laterally adjacent to the one unit pixel.
