Patent ID: 8253874

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a pixel electrode having first and second sub-pixel electrodes separated from each other; a gate line electrically connected to the first and second sub-pixel electrodes through thin film transistors; a data line electrically connected to the first and second sub-pixel electrodes through the thin film transistors; a storage electrode line having a first storage electrode overlapped with the first sub-pixel electrode, wherein a first storage voltage is applied to the first storage electrode line as a cyclic signal; and a second storage electrode line having a second storage electrode overlapped with the second sub-pixel electrode, wherein a second storage electrode voltage opposite in phase to the first storage electrode voltage is applied to the second storage electrode line as a cyclic signal, and wherein the first and second sub-pixel electrodes are electrically connected to the same gate line and to the same data line through the thin film transistors, and the pixel electrode comprises a first side disposed parallel to the gate line and a second side disposed parallel to the data line, the second side comprising a length which is less than a length of the first side.
