Patent ID: 7961265

Claim:
An array substrate comprising: first and second gate lines extending in a first direction; a data line extending in a second, different direction, the data line crossing the first and second gate lines; a pixel electrode having a first pixel part and a second pixel part, the first and second pixel parts being spaced apart; a domain-dividing electrode dividing the first and second pixel parts into a plurality of areas; first, second and third switching elements each having a control electrode coupled to the first gate line, the first, second and third switching elements being controlled by a first gate signal applied from the first gate line, the first, second and third switching elements being operative to apply a data signal received from the data line to the first and second pixel parts and the domain-dividing electrode, respectively; and a voltage-changing part coupled to the second gate line and being controlled by a second gate signal applied from the second gate line, the voltage-changing part being operative to increase a voltage level of the domain-dividing electrode and decrease a voltage level of the second pixel part.
