Patent ID: 8031286

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a plurality of pixels comprising a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate, wherein the first and second pixel electrodes are disposed on the same layer, insulated from and paired with each other to form a pixel; a second substrate facing the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates, wherein the liquid crystal layer on each of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode is divided by a plurality of domains, each of which are defined by a direction of liquid crystal molecules when an electric field is applied to the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode, and an electric field of the first electrode is different from an electric field of the second electrode, wherein the first pixel electrode is electrically connected to a first conductive line with a first thin film transistor and the second pixel electrode is electrically connected to the first conductive line with a second thin film transistor, and wherein the electric field of the first pixel electrode is different from the electric field of the second pixel electrode when the first thin film transistor and the second thin film transistor are off.
