Patent ID: 8009133

Claim:
A display panel comprising: a plurality of pixel structures disposed between plural gate lines, plural data lines crossing with the gate lines and plural compensation gate lines, each pixel structure being configured to display a corresponding image pixel and each pixel structure including: a first switching element coupled to receive a gate signal from a corresponding one of the gate lines and coupled to receive an image pixel defining data signal from a corresponding one of the data lines; a liquid crystal capacitor connected to the first switching element so as to be charged with an initial pixel voltage corresponding to the data signal when the first switching element is selectively turned on; and a voltage lowering part coupled to the liquid crystal capacitor and configured to selectively lower but not extinguish a voltage of the liquid crystal capacitor so as to thus lower but not black out a luminance of the image pixel in response to a compensation gate signal provided to the voltage lowering part by a corresponding one of the compensation gate lines, wherein the voltage lowering part of each pixel structure comprises: a second switching element responsive to the compensation gate signal provided by the corresponding compensation gate line; and a compensation capacitor connected to the second switching element and to the liquid crystal capacitor so as to reduce the liquid crystal capacitor's voltage when the second switching element is turned on.
