Patent ID: 8174519

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix and including switching elements; a plurality of gate lines connected to the switching elements and transmitting a gate-on voltage for turning on the switching elements; and a plurality of data lines connected to the switching elements and transmitting data voltages, wherein all pixel rows divide into first to m th pixel row groups including an equal number of l pixel rows, the switching elements in each pixel row are connected to the same sides of their corresponding data lines, the switching elements in the nth pixel row of a first pixel row group are connected to the opposite sides of their corresponding data lines as the switching elements in the nth pixel row of a second pixel row group adjacent to the first pixel row group, and within each pixel row group, the switching elements of alternating pixel rows are connected to alternating sides of the corresponding data lines, l, n and m are integers, and n is smaller than m, wherein the switching elements of each pixel row group are disposed substantially symmetrically with respect to a boundary between the pixel row groups, the boundary extending in a same direction as the pixel rows.
