Patent ID: 8791969

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a first display panel; a second display panel facing the first display panel; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first display panel and the second display panel, wherein the first display panel comprises: a first gate line extending in a first direction; a second gate line spaced apart from the first gate line and extending in the first direction; a first storage line spaced apart from the first gate line and extending in the first direction; a second storage line spaced apart from the first gate line and extending in the first direction; a first switching element and a second switching element both configured to receive a first gate signal from the first gate line; a first sub-pixel electrode connected to the first switching element; a second sub-pixel electrode connected to the second switching element; a third switching element configured to receive a second gate signal from the second gate line; and a coupling electrode connected to the third switching element and partially overlapping the second storage line, wherein the first storage line is configured to receive a first voltage, and the second storage line is configured to receive a second voltage, which is different than the first voltage, and wherein at least one of the first switching element, the second switching element, and the third switching element is disposed between the first sub-pixel electrode and the second sub-pixel electrode.
