Patent ID: 8203516

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising: a substrate; a plurality of gate lines that extend in a first direction on the substrate; a plurality of data lines that cross the gate lines and extend in a second direction; and a plurality of unit pixels defined by the gate lines and the data lines, wherein each unit pixel comprises: a first subpixel electrode connected to a data line by a first switching device, a gate electrode of the first switching device being connected to the i th gate line; a second subpixel electrode connected to the a data line by a second switching device that is adjacent to the first switching device, the second subpixel electrode being spaced apart from the first subpixel electrode, a gate electrode of the second switching device being connected to the i th gate line; and a third switching device including a drain electrode capacitively coupled to the second subpixel electrode and a source electrode connected to the first subpixel electrode, the third switching device being connected to an (i+1) th gate line that is adjacent to the ith gate line, wherein the first subpixel electrode and the second subpixel electrode between the ith gate line and the (i+1) th gate line are arranged in an order opposite that of the first subpixel electrode and the second subpixel electrode between the (i+1) th gate line and an (i+2) th gate line.
