Patent ID: 8384637

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a substrate; a plurality of main gate lines disposed on the substrate; a plurality of data lines insulated from and crossing at least one main gate line; a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel electrode corresponding to an n th main gate line and an i th data line; a first switching element to selectively connect the first sub-pixel electrode with the i th data line; a second switching element to selectively connect the second sub-pixel electrode with the i th data line; an auxiliary gate line disposed between two neighboring main gate lines; and a voltage varying element to vary at least one of a voltage of the first sub-pixel electrode and a voltage of the second sub-pixel electrode in response to a gate signal transmitted through the auxiliary gate line, wherein the auxiliary gate line corresponding to the n th main gate line among the plurality of the main gate lines is connected with the m th (m≧n+2) main gate line and extends in a same direction as the n th main gate line in a lengthwise manner.
