Patent ID: 8723901

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising: a gate line formed on a first insulation substrate and extending in a first direction; a data line insulated from the gate line and extending in a different second direction; a pixel electrode structure comprising a first sub-pixel electrode connected to the gate line and the data line by way of a first transistor and a second sub-pixel electrode connected to the gate line and the data line by way of a second transistor; first and second voltage lines configured for receiving corresponding first and second storage voltages provided as alternating signals having opposite phases and suppliable from an external source; first and second storage lines respectively overlapping the first and second sub-pixel electrodes of the pixel electrode structure to form at the overlaps respective but differently sized first and second storage capacitors; and first and second switching units; wherein the first storage line is selectively connected at different times to one or the other of the first and second voltage lines by way of the first switching unit, wherein the second storage line is selectively connected at said different times to the other or the one of the first and second voltage lines by way of the second switching unit, whereby the first switching unit connects the first storage line to the first voltage line when the second switching unit connects the second storage line to the second voltage line, and whereby the first switching unit connects the first storage line to the second voltage line when the second switching unit connects the second storage line to the first voltage line.
