Patent ID: 8194199

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a pixel including a first subpixel and a second subpixel; a first gate line coupled to the first subpixel and transmitting a first gate signal; a second gate line coupled to the second subpixel and transmitting a second gate signal; and a data line intersecting the first and the second gate lines and transmitting a data voltage, wherein the first subpixel includes a first switching element connected to the first gate line and the data line, a first liquid crystal capacitor connected to the first switching element, and a first storage capacitor connected to the first switching element, the second subpixel includes a second switching element connected to the second gate line and the data line, a second liquid crystal capacitor connected to the second switching element, and a second storage capacitor connected to the second switching element, wherein the first liquid crystal capacitor has a first liquid crystal capacitance, the second liquid crystal capacitor has a second liquid crystal capacitance, and the first liquid crystal capacitance is different from the second liquid crystal capacitance, and wherein a ratio of a first parasitic capacitance associated with a first parasitic capacitor formed in the first switching element to a second parasitic capacitance associated with a second parasitic capacitor formed in the second switching element is equal to a ratio of the first liquid crystal capacitance to the second liquid crystal capacitance.
