Abstract:
1. A horizontal electric field liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising: a first liquid crystal cell that is driven by a voltage difference between a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode; a second liquid crystal cell that is driven by a voltage difference between a third pixel electrode and a fourth pixel electrode; a first data line to which a first analog data voltage to be applied to the first pixel electrode is supplied; a second data line to which a second analog data voltage to be applied to the second pixel electrode and a fourth analog data voltage to be applied to the fourth pixel electrode are supplied; a third data line to which a third analog data voltage to be applied to the third pixel electrode is supplied; a first gate line that crosses the first to third data lines and receives a first scan pulse to select the first liquid crystal cell; a second gate line that crosses the first to third data lines and receives a second scan pulse to select the second liquid crystal cell; a first thin film transistor that supplies the first analog data voltage to the first pixel electrode in response to the first scan pulse; a second thin film transistor that supplies the second analog data voltage to the second pixel electrode in response to the first scan pulse; a third thin film transistor that supplies the third analog data voltage to the third pixel electrode in response to the second scan pulse; and a fourth thin film transistor that supplies the fourth analog data voltage to the fourth pixel electrode in response to the second scan pulse, wherein the second pixel electrode is spaced apart from the second gate line, and the fourth pixel electrode is spaced apart from the first gate line.
