Patent ID: 7889183

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a display panel; a plurality of pixels formed on the display panel, including a first pixel and a second pixel, each pixel including a switching element and a pixel-electrode, each pixel having a left side and a right side, wherein the corresponding switching element of a given pixel is located either closer to the left side or closer to the right side of its respective pixel; a sensing unit disposed so as to be sandwiched between the first pixel and the second pixel and structured for generating a sensor data signal based on a localized touch to, or on a localized light change imposed on the display panel; and a plurality of image data lines each directly connected to corresponding ones of the switching elements of corresponding ones of the pixels, the data lines transmitting corresponding image data signals and comprising a first image data line directly connected to the first pixel and a second image data line directly connected to the second pixel, wherein the first pixel is disposed on the left side of the sensing unit, the second pixel is disposed on the right side of the sensing unit, the first image data line is disposed on the left side of the first pixel, the second image data line is disposed on the right side of the second pixel, the switching element of the first pixel is located closer to the left side of its pixel and the switching element of the second pixel is located closer to the right side of its pixel.
