Abstract:
A switching mode liquid crystal display (LCD) device formed to generate first and second switched electric field for driving a matrix of LCD elements, said liquid crystal display device comprising:first and second substrates; a liquid crystal layer between said first and second substrates; a pair of first electrodes on said first substrate applying first electric fields in a plane corresponding to said first substrate; a plurality of second electrodes on said second substrate applying second electric fields between said first and second substrates at an orientation different from said first electric fields, wherein the pair of first electrodes are parallel to the second electrodes and do not overlap the second electrodes; and a pair of first conductive lines intersecting the pair of first electrodes, respectively; and a second conductive line intersecting the second electrode; wherein said first and second fields are applied concurrently.
