Patent ID: 8487851

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a plurality of data lines; a data drive circuit for supplying a data voltage to the data lines; a plurality of gate lines which cross the data lines; a first pixel electrode of the jth liquid crystal cell and a first common electrode of the (j−l)th liquid crystal cell which are shared by liquid crystal cells that are adjacent in a horizontal direction in a first substrate; a second pixel electrode of the (j+l)th liquid crystal cell and a second common electrode of the jth liquid crystal cell which are shared by the liquid crystal cells that are adjacent in the horizontal direction and the second pixel electrode is face to face the first common electrode in the first substrate to form an electric field; a storage capacitor formed by the first pixel electrode of the jth liquid crystal cell overlapped with the second pixel electrode of the (j+l)th pixel electrode for keeping charger of the jth liquid crystal cell for one frame; a first switch device which connects an odd-numbered data line with the first pixel electrode in response to a scan signal from the gate line; and a second switch device which connects an even-numbered data line with the second pixel electrode in response to a scan signal from the gate line, wherein each of the liquid crystal cells is charged with the potential difference between a first data voltage supplied to the first pixel electrode and a second data voltage supplied to the second pixel electrode, wherein the first pixel electrode is coupled with the first common electrode, wherein the second pixel electrode is coupled with the second common electrode.
