Patent ID: 7880949

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a substrate; a plurality of gate lines disposed on the substrate; and a plurality of data lines disposed on the substrate, the data lines are substantially staggered with the gate lines and being define a plurality of sub-pixels, each of the sub-pixels comprising a pixel area defined by two adjacent gate lines of the plurality of gate lines and two adjacent data lines of the plurality of data lines, the pixel area at least comprising a first region and a second region, wherein each of the sub-pixels comprises: a first pixel electrode, disposed within the first region; a second pixel electrode, disposed within the second region, the second pixel electrode being spaced apart from the first pixel electrode thereby defining a gap is located between the second pixel electrode and the first pixel electrode, the gap being substantially perpendicular to the gate lines; a coupling electrode, disposed in the first region and capacitively coupled to the first pixel electrode; a first switching transistor; a second switching transistor, gate electrodes of the first switching transistor and the second switching transistor being both electrically connected to one of the two adjacent gate lines, first source or drain electrodes of the first switching transistor and the second switching transistor being both electrically connected to one of the two adjacent data lines, a second source or drain electrode of the first switching transistor being electrically connected to the first pixel electrode, and a second source or drain electrode of the second switching transistor being electrically connected to the second pixel electrode; and a sharing transistor, a gate electrode of the sharing transistor being electrically connected to another of the two adjacent gate lines, a first source or drain electrode of the sharing transistor being electrically connected to the coupling electrode, and a second source or drain electrode of the sharing transistor being electrically connected to the second pixel electrode.
