Patent ID: 8804083

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: an upper pixel, and a lower pixel adjacent to the upper pixel; gate lines in electrical connection with the upper pixel and the lower pixel, wherein the gate lines extend in a row direction; data lines which cross the gate lines; and a reference voltage line including a vertical portion which passes through the upper pixel and the lower pixel, and horizontal portions which alternately extend from the vertical portion; each of the upper pixel and the lower pixel including; first and second thin film transistors each in electrical connection with a gate line and a data line which correspond to a respective pixel; and a pixel electrode including a first subpixel electrode in connection with an output terminal of the first thin film transistor, and a second subpixel electrode in connection with an output terminal of the second thin film transistor; wherein the horizontal portions of the reference voltage line are in electrical connection with the second subpixel electrodes of both the upper pixel and the lower pixel.
