Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a plurality of gate lines; a plurality of data lines that cross the gate lines to define pixel regions; a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel includes a single pixel electrode from two horizontally-adjacent pixel regions and a connecting portion, wherein a first portion of the single pixel electrode from one of the two horizontally-adjacent pixel regions, a second portion of the single pixel electrode from another of the two horizontally-adjacent pixel regions, and the connecting portion are contiguous; and a plurality of thin film transistors at the crossings of the gate lines and data lines, with one each in each pixel, respectively, wherein the thin film transistors of two vertically-adjacent pixels are each connected to a shared gate line of the plurality of gate lines and on opposite sides of the shared gate line, wherein each of the thin film transistors is each connected to one pixel electrode; wherein the connecting portion has a width smaller than that of each pixel region, wherein the thin film transistors of the two vertically-adjacent pixels are connected to different data lines respectively, and wherein every other data line is overlapped with a connecting portion of one of the plurality of pixels.
