Patent ID: 7142261

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a plurality of scan lines and data lines formed over a substrate, wherein the scan lines and data lines define an array of pixels; a pixel electrode laid over an area and coupled in each pixel, wherein the pixel electrode has a first side along which runs a first data line and a second side along which runs a second data line; a switch element coupling the pixel electrode with one scan line and the first data line, wherein the switch element is operable to apply a voltage to the pixel electrode in response to scan and data signals delivered through the scan line and first data line; and a compensation capacitor coupled between the pixel electrode and any of the first or second data line; wherein the compensation capacitor includes one capacitive coupling portion connected with any of the first or second data line and entirely located outside the area of the pixel electrode, the capacitive coupling portion having a length and a gap distance from the pixel electrode dimensionally configured to compensate a capacitive coupling between the pixel electrode and the first and second data lines.
