Patent ID: 7859502

Claim:
An array substrate comprising: a base substrate; and a plurality of pixels on the base substrate, wherein each pixel comprises: a data line; a first gate line crossing and electrically insulated from the data line; a second gate line crossing and electrically insulated from the data line, the second gate line being spaced apart from the first gate line; a first switching device electrically connected to a previous gate line corresponding to a previous pixel; a second switching device electrically connected to the first gate line and the data line; a third switching device electrically connected to the second gate line and the data line; a first pixel electrode electrically connected to the first switching device and the second switching device; and a second pixel electrode electrically connected to the first switching device and the third switching device, the second pixel electrode being spaced apart from the first pixel electrode, wherein the first switching device is connected between the first and second pixel electrodes, and the first and second pixel electrodes are electrically connected to each other by the first switching device when the first switching device is turned on.
