Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display panel, comprising: a plurality of gate lines; a plurality of data lines crossing the plurality of gate lines; a plurality of liquid crystal cells defined by the gate and data lines, wherein each liquid crystal cell comprises a thin film transistor at a crossing of the gate and data lines, and a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor at a first side portion, wherein the liquid crystal cells include a first horizontal line of liquid crystal cells having thin film transistors connected to preceding ones of adjacent data lines, and a second horizontal line of liquid crystal cells having thin film transistors connected to successive ones of adjacent data lines; a first parasitic capacitor formed between the plurality of data lines and pixel electrodes preceding adjacent ones of the plurality of data lines; a second parasitic capacitor formed between the plurality of data lines and pixel electrodes succeeding adjacent ones of the plurality of data lines; and a groove formed within a second side portion of the pixel electrode adjacent the plurality of data lines, wherein the second side portion is opposite the first side portion, so that the pixel electrode has a substantially diagonally symmetric shape.
