Patent ID: 7916225

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising: a first insulating substrate; a gate line disposed on the first insulating substrate and extending in a first direction; a first data line and a second data line insulated from and crossing the gate line, separated from each other, and extending in a second direction; a first thin film transistor (TFT) connected to the gate line and the first data line; a second TFT connected to the gate line and the second data line; a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode connected to the first TFT and the second TFT, respectively; and a first drain electrode connection portion and a second drain electrode connection portion electrically insulated from each other and connecting the first TFT and the second TFT, to the first subpixel electrode and the second subpixel electrode, respectively, wherein the first subpixel electrode is substantially V-shaped and disposed in a region of a pixel and the second subpixel electrode is disposed in the remaining region of the pixel, the first subpixel electrode is arranged such that the top portion of the “V” is adjacent to the first data line in two regions and the bottom portion of the “V” is adjacent to the second data line in one region, and a portion of the first drain electrode connection portion is arranged proximate and parallel to the second data line, forming a coupling capacitor between the proximate and parallel portion of the first drain electrode connection portion and the second data line.
