Patent ID: 7646439

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a plurality of first thin film transistors for supplying data from a plurality of first data lines to a plurality of first pixel electrodes; and a plurality of second thin film transistors for supplying data from a plurality of second data lines adjacent to the first data lines to a plurality of second pixel electrodes adjacent to the first pixel electrodes in each data line direction such that the first and second thin film transistors are arranged in a zigzag shape; a gate driver for sequentially supplying a scan signal to the first and second thin film transistors; a single data driver for supplying image data to the first and second data lines, the data driver shifting the image data by one channel to be supplied to the first and second data lines when the scan signal is applied to the second thin film transistors as compared with the image data supplied to the first and second data lines when the scan signal is applied to the first thin film transistors, wherein the one channel corresponds to one of the first and second data lines, wherein the data driver drives the first and second data lines in column inversion type wherein a polarity of the image data is alternately inverted between adjacent first and second data lines, and wherein the data driver is connected with the first and second data lines in same direction, and wherein a source electrode of each thin film transistor having a ‘U’ shape is connected to the data line and a drain electrode of the thin film transistor is inserted into a hollowed part of the source electrode in the data line direction.
