Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal panel comprising: a plurality of gate lines parallel to each other; and a plurality of data lines parallel to each other and extending perpendicular to the gate lines, the gate lines and data lines thereby defining a plurality of pixel regions, each pixel region comprising: a common electrode comprising a first common electrode portion substantially parallel to the gate lines and a second common electrode portion substantially parallel to the data lines, the second common electrode portion electrically connected to the first common electrode portion; and a pixel electrode; wherein the second common electrode portion comprises a first inner boundary adjacent to a corresponding data line and a first outer boundary opposite to the first inner boundary and adjacent to the pixel electrode, a portion of the first outer boundary is convex towards the first inner boundary such that a distance between the first inner boundary and the first outer boundary is at its narrowest at the convex portion, the pixel electrode overlaps the first common electrode portion and the second common electrode portion, thereby forming storage capacitors therebetween, and there is no overlap between the pixel electrode and the convex portion of the first outer boundary of the second common electrode portion.
